I have been meaning to post about Project Runway for-e-ver. This season is definitely an improvement over last, contestant wise anyway. Last season was a bore. My only real complaint so far is that the challenges haven't been as, let's, see...fun. I realize not EVERY challenge can be something like design a dress out of copper wire and chicken feathers or whatnot, but still. Also, I can't stand Mila. Augh! I hate her! This week she was all, oh, last week none of the designers seemed happy for me that I came in the top 3. Know why, Mila? Cause your dress SUUUCKED. The minute I saw it I was so psyched for the judges to tear into her and use phrases like "walking Macy's bag" or "you took the stars from Chicken and Stars Soup a little too far" (it was a Campbell's challenge, OK?) and they COMPLETELY let me down! Every once in awhile it's like, I'm sorry, are we looking at the same dress? Even Mick knew it blew! Thank god she was in the bottom 3 this week. Young Biff in Back to the Future said it best: Girlfriend needs to make like a tree and get outta here.

Oh, and don't even get me started on Alexis. She has an alien face. A serious case of bug eyes. I'm all for unique beatuy but only if you have a unique personality to save it, and she has bug eyes and is a biotch. And yet the designers keep picking her! Augh! OK apparently I have more problems with this show then I thought.

I'm liking the new show after Runway about the models. I think it's interesting to show the entire model picking process in more detail, especially since they're changing models everytime now. This week was interesting as one model, Fatma, has apparently developed a crush on her designer from the first 2 challenges, Logan. Now I cannot blame girlfriend as he is very pretty, but it was quite humorous to watch her talking about him to another model. She was beside herself because when she told him he liked the fabric he'd picked out he said he thought it would go well with her skin. So of course she's all blah blah blah, he was thinking of ME! Um, sweetie, he was thinking of how best to make HIS design look best on his model. Trust me, he didn't do it to pledge model allegiance to you.

Fast forward to model elimination, when all of the girls are stressing out because no one wants to be picked by Mitchell, who has been in the bottom 2 of the first 2 challenges. So guess who he picks? Why, Fatma of course! She makes her feelings on this clearly known when she is seen walking out on the runway screen clawing at the air. Of course Logan is the next person to go and handles it gracefully. Although he does pick the girl next to Fatma which Fatma of course takes as him being SO very flustered over losing her that he just picks whoever was nearest to her. She goes on and on. Not only has she lost her true love but her new designer can't sew! Oh, the humanity!

I have to say, Mitchell kinda sucks but I do feel for him a little because next challenge I imagine she is going to be quite difficult. Here's hoping he picks the most flattering fabric possible for her. I mean, it's all about her, right?

Gather round, everyone!

Project Runway's triumphant return is tomorrow, and to celebrate our beloved Mr. Gunn was the guest on tonite's Daily Show. So good to see him again! He's so elegant and poised in his responses to everything! The two highlights for me were:

1. Jon Stewart inquiring if the network switch meant that catchphrases had to change, like instead of Heidi saying "One day you are in, the next day you are out" had to be changed to something like "One day you are in, the next day not so in."

2. Tim discussing in his awesome deadpan demeanor how terrible the beautiful weather in L.A. was. And how it would become overcast and rain a little and suddenly the news would blare "Rainstorm 2008." This is funny because it is true. The minute the weather does something beyond be sunny and gorgeous in L.A. the local news immediately acts like everyone is going to die and then people drive like they've never seen rain before in their life.
