There IS a light at the end of the tunnel. I think.
It is now obvious: PROJECT RUNWAY HAS, IN FACT, jumped, not one, but 20 sharks.
Nothing about this operation is original or unpredictable anymore.
In fact, even “the toughest runway we ever had to judge” episode (never trust the previews! ever!) proved a cop out.
So, why do I still watch it?
For the same reason I wear my ugly jeans from 2003, instead of my cool jeans from 2008?
Because it is so goddamn comfortable.
I, sit down, I pour myself a glass of wine, I turn channel 60 on, and then I roll my eyes.
And my roommate does too.
And we’ve done it for years now. Why stop? Why EVER stop? WHY?
(if you have the answer, please let me know)
Anyway, thankfully, we’re almost at the end of this season’s torture session.
It is 3 girls and Jerrell (or should I just call them 4 girls, since, lets face it Jerell IS prettier and smaller waisted than anyone else) and they get to make an evening gown inspired by flowers.
Not out of flowers.
Not representing a flower, just INSPIRED.
LAME.
And this si what will determine what who goes to Fashion week.
BLAH.
and
LAME.
They all pick lilacs and roses and scaly lookin’ leaves and Kenley forgets her tulle and the rest of the (mean) girls don’t want to give her THEIR tulle (because she is a raging bitch AND because they are all raging bitches too) and Kenley gets upset but gets to go to Mood again and everyone rolls their eyes, and I tell KC “that beading is going to be the end of Korto” and guess what?
ALL THE DRESSES TURN OUT U.G.L.Y.
They ain’t got no alibi and so on and so forth.
Dammit.
Collier Strong and his bad, bad skin are in make-up charge, and as I am about to die yawning, THE RUNWAY HAPPENS.
These were the dresses:
jerell:
kenley:
korto
leanne:
You know-been there. done that. seen that ruche.
But then there is some actual drama: EVERYONE cries, EVERYONE denounces Kenley, Kenley, after Heidi mentions that her dress is not elegant snaps back “I was not going for elegant HEIDI” and then cries, and we get a little cut out into her pre-recorded monologue where she tells us how her Dad was a tugboat captain and “she grew up tough”. Tough schmuff, she crumbled like a house of cards on that runway.
Anyhoo, Georgian Champan, who is stunning and British and owns Marchessa (and is bound by marriage to have sex with Harvey Weinstein) was the judge….
and you could see she was not impressed.
AT ALL.
Though she did stand up for Leanne even after Michael called “her little pleats sad”
In the end, they did what they did last year and even though Jerell won and is guaranteed a spot in the tents, the other 3 ladies are sent home to make collections and THEN the judges will decide (much like in the whole Rami/Chris situation last season, which was kind of fun then but this time around just prompted my roommate to throw wine at the TV).
So you know, stay tuned.
And buzzed.
I. HATE. KENLEY.
and i hate it because I want to like her. I want to like her style (sans last nights DISASTER)
but it has come to a point where i’m comparing things i dislike to how much i hate kenley .. as in .. “i hate such and such almost as much as i hate kenley.’
and letting all four make their line was a cop-out, although i’m sorta glad they did it because i think korto would have been sent home and i would have cried.
October 2, 2008 at 10:01 amis NOT safe - they all have to complete collections to determine which 3 advance.
October 2, 2008 at 10:11 ami miss the liveblogging, too.
i was so upset that they didn’t just send kenley home. didn’t they let everyone make a line last season too? this is stupid. i want leanne to win already (or jerell, but that would make this season exactly the same as last season, but then that’s what they seem to be going for, so he’ll probably win).
October 2, 2008 at 11:00 amJerrell has grown on me a lot. But how can I not love the style lovechild of Peter Pan and Peter Brady?! *sigh*
I actually screamed CUNTRAG at the television last night at Kenley. What have I become?
October 2, 2008 at 11:30 amActually, i didn’t even watch last night. I was playing poker at a friends house (pretty manly, no?)
Looks like i didn’t miss much. i probably won’t even watch the DVR.
October 2, 2008 at 11:31 amActually, they went one step farther in the wrong direction. Even though Jerell “won” (and apparently, just barely, according to cyborg Heidi Klum), he is also on the chopping block. Nobody’s out of the woods yet, including the challenge winner? WTF? (Or, “double-you tee eff,” as Blair Waldorf might say.) This show has gone so far off the rails. The fact that raging bitch Kenley didn’t get aufed for her opposite-of-fetch scaly purple number (and yes, zero is a number) that looked like she’d slain the lady dragon from “Shrek” to get her material. Poor Donkey. It all just shows to go the lengths that the producers of Project Yawnur have gone to sabotage their final season on Bravo (recent NBC injunction be damned). At this point, I say send Neena, Tim, the cyborg and Sister Michael off to that purgatory of cable, the “Not Without My Daughter” channel (Lifetime). Let’s be done with this season. Call it a wash.
October 2, 2008 at 11:32 ampr IS incredibly lame and predictable but i still never miss an episode. (when i didn’t have cable I watched it on youtube) I agree with Nicole… thank god for this lamo ending because Korto is my girl and she just may have gone home for that hideous creation! I need to see how she’ll incorporate her Liberian heritage into her collection!
ps i’m sooo glad i found this blog… D.I.E.!!
October 2, 2008 at 11:45 amBlazed and watched my first episode last night. Hahaha. The Joell guy cracked me up w/ “In. The. Teunt.” Amused but not hooked
October 2, 2008 at 11:55 amI love Jerell. And I liked his dress last night - though I agree w Heidi that it was a little droopy in the bust. I cannot believe they put Kenley through too. That was the lamest part of all. Her dress was so bad. But best dress of the season, IMO, was Leanne’s made-out-of-car-parts super short number. So cute.
October 2, 2008 at 12:10 pmbut, “my dad was a tugboat captain!”
October 2, 2008 at 2:45 pmas if being an offspring of a tugboat captain is an excuse to be a raging bitch. there are much worse situations from which people don’t emerge as raging bitches.
and taylor-I agree. I still dream of that dress.
October 2, 2008 at 3:22 pmsvetlana, i agree. she reminds me of a poor man’s veruca salt: annoying voice and ridiculous quotables blaming daddy for all of life’s hardships.
October 2, 2008 at 3:30 pmi cannot believe that:
a) michael misses liveblogging to this show and is using the chad excuse for cover
b) chad would miss this show for poker with liveblog comments like “did you see stella’s face when kenley’s dress came out?!”
c) svetlana would call someone a raging bitch - very unsvetlana-like
what ever happened to liveblogging mythbusters??? cale?
October 2, 2008 at 3:46 pmMan, I Tivo everything, I don’t even know when Mythbusters is actually on.
October 2, 2008 at 3:59 pmoh, I DVR this AND watch it live.
even though I hate it.
we’ll definitely liveblog the collections episode.
there is no other way.
can we liveblog the debate tonight? pretty please?
October 2, 2008 at 4:25 pmi don’t know if the world is ready.
plus, cale basically summed up what livebloggin’ would be like in the “best weekend bets” intro paragraph.
eddie, i totally did play poker. i won 140 dollars.
seriously though, did you see stella’s face when that particular dress of kenley’s came down the runway? priceless.
i heard a rumor that stella was at the black cat on saturday. my source was pretty drunk when she told me and i haven’t been able to get confirmation from anyone else, so i don’t necessarily believe it.
October 2, 2008 at 5:28 pmi doubt it’s true because i heard you had to be a high roller to get in that joint.
October 2, 2008 at 8:54 pm
I don’t know why you decided to stop livetyping to this show. It makes Chad sad. He has nothing to look forward to on Wednesday nights anymore. Told me so himself.
