by WindUpDoll Apparently the designers have enough downtime to get in a workout. Has Heidi Klum gone soft this season? No, she still sends the loser model home. And she does it in a sparkly short dress. Didn’t Michael Kors say something about short sparkly dresses? Or maybe it was Nina Garcia. The designers try to guess who the ‘professional woman’ they’ll be designing for. Kelli says Nancy Grace, which puts her annoying breathy voice in my head. I suppose professional designers could create variations on a power suit, but it could get boring pretty fast. Stella wants it to […]

by WindUpDoll So this week Project Runway is taking the designers to the Olympics. Well, not really since they are starting tomorrow, and Project Runway was filmed months ago.

But because of the Bravo/Lifetime/Weinstein drama, we have to have yet ANOTHER season of Project Runway this year. Not that I’m complaining, ’cause I’m not. I love the show; but there is such a thing as overkill. And I’ll reserve my judgment about the decision to move to Lifetime until we start to see the next season. But I’ll tell you one thing, if Lifetime tones down the gay, I’ll be […]
