18 July 2006

Project Runway! I know there's a few other people here who watch it. Initial thoughts? Did Keith deserve to win last week? Who do you love and hate? (besides loving Tim of course).
Have you seen this little bit of potentially spoilerish news? Quelle scandal!

Oooh. That's super-juicy. And I missed that at TWoP. Keith is a beautiful beautiful man though. I liked his winning dress last week, but I wanted Michael to win. I thought it was the best for overall innovation/beauty.

I find Vincent to be very scary. I want to force-feed him Paxil.

Vincent is going to take them all out in a hail of fury when they finally let him go. Which should have been last episode based on that hat alone.

I like Vincent. I didn't like the outfit, but he seems very funny and reasonably mature. Out there, but not high-strung.

I liked Keith's dress a lot. I thought it was the most pulled together of all of them.

Aaaand, other than that... my brother has a huge crush on the blonde from Brooklyn... Allison, maybe? And she seems super-sweet, and I liked the stuff of hers I saw, so I'm currently rooting for her.

Vincent is insane. He freaks me out.

:( I miss Danny V. and Santino (and Nick! and Chloe!) already. I'm sure, in time, I will love these new rapscallions as much as the old (that blonde is already growing on me, although the one from Iowa gets on my nerves).

I miss my Top Chefs. I could use a little Chunk LaFunk right now.

I think Vincent is a nutcase -- and if the teasers for this week's show are any sign, he's a bear to work with. If he's not gone after this week, it'll be soon.

As for the Keith thing, is that what the clip of Tim saying "I think you'd better leave" is about? They teased it in the promo commercials and then it wasn't in the first episode (although it's possible TiVo has warped my sense of the time continuum on this one). His dress was cute but boring.

Was anyone else laughing when they went back to their apt and no one had replaced the trashed furniture? I loved that.

I'm not liking Keith - too arrogant. One thing that irks me about PR is the mixed signals they send to the designers. It's either you're too over the top or you play it too safe. It's either you put too much of yourself into the designs or it's you try to please the customer too much and you lose sight of who you are. So this past week, the loser was told that she lost because she wasn't innovative enough and she didn't use enough different materials. And then the winner is someone who makes a regular old dress, hardly innovative (although very elegant and well-designed), and uses one material! That pisses me off. Plus his whole "I never designed for a woman and look at me, I won" attitude, plus the way he acted as if he had one-upped Tim by editing his dress after Tim told him to add to it, pissed me off. No one disses Tim and gets away with it if I have any say! Which I don't. But I loves me some Tim.

That whole Red Lobster/Andre/Tim thing that Santino did last year was hysterical.

I loved the grey coat that the woman with the short red hair designed. That was freaking awesome. And tinkly. I mean, she used a chandelier. Come on.

Iconomy, that gray coat was my favorite thing too. At least if that was not real fur. I'd take mine with fake fur.
posted by matildaben 18 July | 17:40
Yep, she used the fake fur rug...a flotaki, I think it's called? That coat was great.
posted by iconomy 18 July | 17:42
I agree that the coat was fantastic. And I love the designer. I didn't know whether I'd love her or hate her, but it's love all the way.

There is no way that Malan Breton is a) named Malan Breton and b) is 32. (and c) has a real English accent?)

I love that show! But I can't watch it because I don't have cable...it is the sadness.
posted by SassHat 18 July | 18:02
Even my husband, who claims to "not watch" Project Runway likes to break into a Tim and Andre Go To Red Lobster every now and then. (Other shows he has really enjoyed "not watching" include the OC and 90210.)
posted by jrossi4r 18 July | 18:11
(psst, SassHat, if you'll step into this dark alley I'll show you what's in my coat...)

I kinda liked Vincent's dress, minus the hat and the pockets. Very sort of potato-sack chic. The Red Head reminds me of Bree from Desperate Housewives (intentionally, I'm sure). Don't even START on Malan - I LOVE his faux-pretentious ways. "I'm from Thaaaaaai-lund"... I bet he's from the Bronx or Arkansas.

My husband also greatly enjoys "not watching" Project Runway, jrossi. Hee.

Excuse me, he's "from" Taiwan.

Offtopic: Hey 'pode, I made the salad you recommended for dinner tonight. It was awesome.
posted by jrossi4r 18 July | 19:28
yay!
knew you would love it.
posted by gaspode 18 July | 19:30
I did not watch the previous seasons of Project Runway, but did TiVo the first episode of this new season -- and enjoyed it. I've made it a 'Season Pass.'

BTW -- good for Keith. He did deserve to win.

Vincent is insane. He freaks me out.

Agreed, Vincent is the most likely to 'go postal' of any other contestant/participant.

Malan's accent is like Madonna's. That fake "I'm from everywhere" accent.
posted by matildaben 18 July | 20:14
I liked seeing Santino out of competitive mode. I'm putting my early money on Robert Best. Was it me or did the guy with the neck tattoos not have them at some points in the show? He seems arrogant. Malan looks like a psycho with his weird laughing, but he's a great character. I feel bad for Vincent, I hope he has a better showing this week. Favorite part from last season: "Its a motherfuckin' walkoff"!
posted by tetsuo 18 July | 20:34
Like the coat lady and chickie from Ohio. Vincent = whack. I figured it was he who got sent home, but yeah, they are way over teasing it. Can't wait for tonight! Oh, Sasshat, I know you are in the big Canada and all, but our whatever network affiliated with Bravo the cable channel showed it this week too.
