10 August 2006

Weekly Project Runway thread (spoilers) [More:]It's all about Pam Muthafuckin' Grier.

How fabulous is it that Michael won? I didn't think he was in danger of being booted off because he's such a wonderful designer, but you have to admit that it was suspicious that they did a bit about Michael and his mom, much like they did the bit about Malan and his mom the very episode Malan got booted.

Laura: Please stop wearing clothes that bare your chest. Your chest scares me. You're a lovely woman and I dig your notion of not dressing down just because you have 5 kids, but please bulk up a little to cover your clavicle?

Alison: You are such a sweetheart, and I'm a bit ashamed that I was thinking this whole time that you weren't old enough to have remembered who Farah Fawcett was.

Jeffrey: Get the fuck over yourself. Yes, Angela's fucking up the machines. Doesn't give you the right to slam her for it (unless there's sabotage going on). Also, don't slam on Laura either for sticking up for her. Like Tim says, "Make it work."

Motherfucker.

Kayne: You are this year's Austin Scarlett. I dub thee so because you use a bit too much blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Robert: Baby, please get it together?

Bradley: I called it. I'm sorry, hon.

Angela: I am very surprised you were ranked so high because I don't like that you covered up a perfectly nice simple black dress. But then again, I am not Michael Kors or the fabulous NEENAGARCIYAH, so WTF do I know?

I forget who else is left. That may be saying something.
moved the pam spoiler inside!

Before it came on, I was wondering who was left to be in the final three. Maybe Uli but she seems to make the same kind of thing a lot. Vincent's gotta go. He sucks and is trapped in the 80's. Angela is a spazz and I hate her puff thing but she's surprised me.
Before the front runners showed early. This time it could be anyone.
The model switch was a good turn.

I totally think Michael should have won, but I think it's kind of weird that no one says the word "black" aloud when talking about the Michael-Nazri-Pam Grier triple threat. I mean, Pam is an icon of black beauty, in addition to an icon of beauty for all cultures, and I think it makes sense that the designer that could really bring her out is one who's so much in touch with an "urban" sensibility (in addition to being a great constructionist), and that it was carried off by such a gorgeous African-American model (with natural hair). It just strikes me as that weird "pretending race doesn't exist" thing that's so prevalent among white liberals.

In other news, I think Jeffrey is trying to be a "reality TV star" by being so obnoxious all the time, but as Santino showed, if you're going to be obnoxious, it helps to be actually funny and brilliant to balance it out. Jeffrey's just a whiny misogynist bitch (and he designs fugly clothes).

What I loved is learning how much the models pay attention to what the designers are doing. Like how the girl who picked Laura did so because she likes her design aesthetic and really wanted her to design something beautiful. And then the model also did something smart and picked an icon who could really speak to Laura. Can you imagine what it would have been like if Laura got Madonna?

"I ain't no Captain Save-a-Ho, as they say in the hood."

Is the reason this episode was fantastic.

P.S. Urban Dictionary definition of Captain Save-a-Ho.

Where did Jeffrey get off calling Laura frigid? Did he try to jump her or something?

Pam Grier makes me feel all funny.

It was definitely a toss-up between Michael and Kayne (with a surprise guest appearance by Michael Caine!), but the episode's foreshadowing pretty obviously pointed at Michael.

Vincent is absolutely bonkers. It's interesting to see how he and Jeffrey have become a duo in the hating.

This may be old, but I was listening to the podcast from last year's season finale and I cannot believe how much Tim Gunn hates Daniel Franco. Oh, Tim Gunn. I would hate God if you told me to.

I haven't listened to the podcasts yet, but I've read Tim's Take. Hmm.
I wonder if Santino's mimcry has affected them. Tim seems to have embraced it, while I was wondering if Michael Kors has been trying to sound more butch since. (i've wondered about Tim since reading he hasn't been in a relationship since '82. i do so love Tim.)

Uptown Eastsidey Laura and West Hollywoody Jeffery seem to be made to order enemies.
What's happened to Robert? A rope belt?
I wonder-- way too much about what's gonna happen.
The models all made great choices for their designers, and I feel bad for them because it's all such a random crapshoot on their end.

Pam MOTHERFUCKING Grier.

I'm just watching the show now, but Michael totally rocks my world.

ethylene, the podcasts are fantastic. Tim really opens up about a lot of the behind the scenes stuff in them. You gotta do it.

OK, "Captain-Save-a-Ho" just showed up in Mistress Matisse's column this week. I'm now waiting for the 3rd appearance.
