Project Runway

Ok, Terri’s just getting mean. She’s talking about the ‘witch’ being dead, meaning Stella. Come on now, Terri. No need to be like that. We all know you want to win. Ragging on other people won’t get you there. Special guests are then brought out & it’s all the designers that have been eliminated. Jerell thinks it’s good to see them, but it depends on why they’re there. They’re there to help the designers still in the competition to create an avant garde look. The look must be inspired by the astrological sign of one person on the team. I […]

I decided this afternoon that with the premiere of America’s Next Top Model, I too should make a fresh start and not go incognito anymore. So the mask is off WindUpDoll, much like the makeup off a drag queen. But that’s another episode of Project Runway. I ended up watching Project Runway on Thursday as ANTM was a whopping two hours last night. Then I felt like I should be a responsible grown up and watch the Republican National Convention. I shan’t make that mistake again tonight. Screw responsibility! It’s time to watch the fierceness! Can Project Runway drop the […]

So this week the Project Runway designers have to, as Christian Siriano once told us, “make crap out of candy.” Only this time it’s not candy. It’s car parts. Saturn Vue car parts, to be exact. I don’t know if the parts are hybrid. Can a seat belt be hybrid? Hybrid polyester maybe? Rayon? Green rayon? We open this episode with Kenley talking about missing Daniel. So maybe the stuff Daniel is saying about how he was edited is true. Hmmm. Love Heidi’s dress at the top of this episode. Very French. Heidi sends them to the rooftop of another […]

I need to tear myself away from the Olympics for this week’s Project Runway. Have you been watching? You should be, it’s been fabulous. And addictive. I’ve been sleep-deprived because I can’t turn it off and go to bed. Chris March is here to introduce this week’s challenge. What could tear me away from athletes challenging themselves to new levels? Drag queens. We get a few different reactions from the designers. Straight guy Joe doesn’t quite know what to do. Terri is, of course, digging this challenge — because she’s secretly Donna Summer! Our selection of drag queens have a […]

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 this week’s challenge is the ultimate fashion tie-in as the designers are challenged by Apolo Anton Ohno to design the outfits for the opening ceremonies for the Olympics. Now, here’s the thing, I’m a huge Olympics opening ceremony fan. I love the cheese and pageantry. Daniel has never seen the opening ceremonies. I feel for the poor boy. He’s missing out on some good stuff. If you’ve been missing the […]

by WindUpDoll Our designers are digesting the first cut from the last episode. Suede is just glad it’s not Suede. Cutting Suede is the only incorrect answer according to Suede. Suede is obsessed with speaking in the third person. We start off with the first model selection. The only potential for drama here is when one designer picks another designer’s model and the first designer gets all huffy about it. But since it has only been one challenge, are the designers really, REALLY that emotionally invested in their model? I think not. I mean, they wouldn’t wish evil things to […]

by WindUpDoll It’s that time again, kids. Didn’t that year go fast? Oh, yeah, it has only been about 4 months since the last ‘season’ of Project Runway ended. 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 […]

by WindUpDoll Multiple sources are reporting that Project Runway is moving from Bravo to Lifetime. Yeowzah! NBC is fighting back. More to come when I find it.

by WindUpDoll Christian wants to win so much it makes him sick. Rami’s just glad he’s in the final three — and he should be, because he kicked Rami’s butt. Apparently Rami thinks that Christian is surprised by his collection. I hope Rami doesn’t win. He’s now completely annoying me. Tim is concerned about a piece that Jillian created after Tim first saw her collection. She’s got to figure out how to make it fit in her collection. Rami’s got one piece that’s using strips of antique lace. It’s very pretty. Tim expresses concern about Christian’s collection. He’s losing his […]
