Of Queens and Crazy Ladies
Ah, the first Project Runway of the season. The return of Hedi, Tim Gunn looking upbeat and the judges grumpy and bitchy. Does anyone else think that the contestants are way more experienced and qualified this time around?
It was actually nice to let the designers just design for their first task. It gave a much clearer impression of what they were capable of. The loser for instance. You couldn't make time on a simple dress to sew in a zipper? I knew she was doomed even before the critique. I was still hoping against hope that they would cut the crazy lady with the train of doom free though. It looks like a Santino meets Wendy situation there. It could get really ugly, annoying and repetitive. Though it did allow Heidi to get in a joke.
I really like the pudgy queen. He's like Jay v.2.1 and I actually liked his design better then the kid who won. Who is definitely Jeffery v. young and flaming.
I refuse to learn their names yet. Still far too disposable.
In real life, things here at VSL are getting intense as I prepare to leave. My last day is Tuesday and yesterday it dawned on everyone that they have made no preparations for my departure. Good job. So today was a hundred questions, but I've mostly checked out mentally. I have to run a training session on Monday and since Tuesday is when Thanksgiving is celebrated here, it looks like I'm not going to get my goodbye luncheon. Oh the fuck well.
Catch you on the flipside,

I finally caught the first episode! i totally agree that the quality of the contestants has gone up and there are many more contestants with existing designing jobs. It makes me sad actually because I wonder if there are designers out there that weren't given a chance to be on the show and really need the exposure more than someone already in the industry.

good point. I hadn't thought about that.
I missed Project Runway starting up again?? Gah! Thankfully I can veg out tomorrow afternoon and catch the two episodes so far thanks to Bravo's habit of repeating everything ad nauseam...
