In fact, they apparently loved the suggestions so much that we did hear they're going to try to use most of them at least once.
So, without further ado:
THE WINNER:
Fashion Vixen

Wannabe, send us your address and we'll make sure you get that signed DVD as soon as it is available!
THE RUNNERS UP:
Path: Cashmere Cape
Turbulence: The Scarlet Stiletto

Ladies, send us your address and Laura will send you an autographed picture of herself.
NOW. You thought we were done, didn't you? Well, now Laura and the ivillage folks are interested in hearing your suggestions for what to name the actual comic strip. Y'know, like "THE ADVENTURES OF FASHION VIXEN" - although that's really boring. Come up with something fabulous and you could win an autographed copy of the Project Runway Season 3 DVD! We'll announce the winner at the end of the week.
Get cracking, ladies! And congrats to the winners!
EDITED TO ADD: "Fashion Vixen" is the winning name as chosen by Laura, but the actual character's name isn't necessarily going to be "Fashion Vixen," so you don't have to use that in your suggestions.
EDITED AGAIN: Laura left a note in the comments section:
"Here are some hints, iVillage wants to use my actual name in the title, like Laura Bennett: Adventures of a Stylish Mom. They also seem to be leaning toward an old school comic strip, like Brenda Starr or a 1940's Private Eye, sort of a super hero in hiding. The title should try to reflect what I will be doing which is fighting frump and solving fashion dilemmas. Try to be concise.
I am overwhelmed by the generosity and the creativity of the posters here. Your ideas have actually caused us to change direction so that we can use many of the great suggestions. If we name the strip after what I do instead of who I am, that will give us the opportunity to end each strip with something like, "another caper solved by the Cashmere Cape..."
Thanks so much for all your help. And let's all give it up for T&L!"

Must it be Fashion Vixen? It
ReplyDeletedenotes a quarrelsome being. I can't see that in Laura.
Why not something with more historical panache.
Utilize the Kate Hepburn filmography as on suggestion...some of them can make a great play on word and at the same time, not only apply to your work but gives your work the flair it is.
Here are a couple for your perusal. If you find any of it interesting, present to the producers. The idea is all yours.:) Jacqueline
