Make it work

[anatural]

WHO: Korra & Chekov
WHAT: For this challenge, Chekov has been assigned the one model NO designer wants.

[It feels like more and more, Korra has to remind herself she's not a quitter.

When she first got the job as a model on Project Runway, she'd thought This is it. After years of being relegated to the sidelines, she was finally going to prove the nay-sayers wrong. In retrospect, she can't believe how naive she was. Being a model on Project Runway proved nothing; it just meant there were more people telling her You'll never make it as a model. Your boobs are too big. You look like a man. You're too emotional. She lives in a totally different zipcode from the flat-chested ghostly-pale waifs who are her fellow models.

That's why you're here, she reminds herself. Represent.

She repeats that mantra to herself like a prayer as she waits for Tim Gunn to introduce her to her designer.]

Still, you have more experience being a model here than I have being a designer here. [He's trying so hard to put a positive spin on this.]

I would like us to work well together. Is there anything that I can do to ensure that this happens?

Don't forget these guys. [Korra taps her arm muscles with an abashed grin. Designers hate altering their designs for her sizable bust, but it's actually her muscles that really drive them nuts. Korra can't count how many dress designs had their sleeves completely removed because the designer hadn't accounted for her muscles.]
