Project Runway '11

[leswp1]

Yay! another yr of Project Runway. Missed the lead up show but saw the show itself. Didn't seem there were the wild characters of the last season. For sure the narcicisstic one who thought she should be winning when she was sent off the runway (in the first group) will be back in the spotlight. Bets she will be a focus of everyone's wrath. They will keep her if only to keep everyone frothing at the mouth.

Thought Bert is very polished.
I liked the vest detail of the guy that got kicked off.
Still feeling out of touch for some things. I hated all the pants, esp the ones that they raved over from the Aisian gal that had never sewed.
Underwhelmed by most of what they showed.

Why do they seem to collect flaming guys with a flapping wrist but never any prissy, mincing women or women who are very gruff? The men always seem to have way more affectations then the women they pick.

At the beginning of the season, it is hard to identify who's who. Almost have to watch twice just to figure out what's going on. Agree with you on Bert and those pants that got raves Hope there's not another Gretchen in this group--surprised she wasn't totally ostracized last year.
And an interesting last comment on the personalities.


College Hockey, Project Runway and Top Chef--an interesting threesome

Saw part of the show again, the "asian" girl is from Trinidad
And the pants she made looked like they had a big pouch in the front.

I've never heard the stereotype of butch lesbians being into fashion. Driving Subarus yes, making high end fashion...no.

Well, I'm rooting for Joshua and Bert, (rooting for the underdogs). Joshua got blasted and Bert won. I was so hoping Anya was going to get auffed as she's really not qualified from a sewing angle to be in the competition.

I see on the website you can look at thier scores - kinda cool.

Re: Project Runway '11

Last week the designers got their materials at the Pet Store But I must say the guy, Anthony I think, who made a dress from bird seed was pretty amazing.

This week they had to design for stilt walkers
The runway walks were pretty awkward.

Re: Project Runway '11

The stilt ladies were freaky. I thought the blue top/brown pants was horribly boring, but the judges liked it. I generally don't like the team challanges, it's too hard to pin the winners and losers, and on the bottom 3 teams you just get people thrown under the bus.

Re: Project Runway '11

Agree. I thought the blue top and pants thing looked like something that we would see Mrs. Brady on the The Brady Bunch.

I thought could have been on the bottom, except there were 3 that were worse
In this challenge I think the entire worst team could have been thrown under the bus and there would have been no great loss. I liked Burt initially, but....his attitude is getting really tiring.

I felt like they were staging some of that stuff. Wondering what they cut out.

I was rooting for him since he was the old guy vs the youngsters, but him mailing in the pet store challange and his attitude with his partner last week have soured me on him as well. That pet store challange was his chance to go really crazy and experiment and make a statement, since the juges were worried he wasn't creative enough, but instead he mails it in like no one has ever before.

And he admitted it

Kim Kardashian needs to rent Gone With The Wind and see the movie where they made dresses out of the curtains. My wife and I looked at her when she made that comment wondering what planet she is from.

I think she meant the Carol Burnette version, but she probably doesn't know who that is.

Gone With The Wind same as the Sound of Music

Guess fashionista Kim couldn't tell the difference between:
Vivian Leigh and Julie Andrews (throw in Carol Burnett,too)
Green velvet outfit and Nanny's dress with apron
Deep South and Swiss Alps
Civil War and World War II

Guess we CAN tell the difference between Kim and a Mensa member

Re: Project Runway '11

Sick of Josh M.'s "B****y Queen" personna. The producers need to cut his face time. He is MORE than annoying.

Anya got the win last night, but I thought Viktor should have won.
Oliver needs to broaden his color palette past beige and gray.

Agree. Before it started last night I said I was sick of the Josh drama and the let's focus on how horrible Bert is drama. More of the same last night. Lets move on already.

Josh's affectations with the flouncing are getting to me. My best friend in college was gay but would rant about being Gay did not mean flapping your wrist and about 5 more minutes of rant about acting like a man. Every time Josh starts the flappy thing I hear this guy go off in my head.
