Project Runway

by WindUpDoll I want the Project Runway perfume discussed at the top of this episode. Who wouldn’t want to smell like sweat, tears & Chinese food? Ok, I guess it depends on WHAT Chinese food. Is it Wong’s Wok fried rice with greasy gravy? Then no, I don’t want it. It’s time for the tedious model selection, but apparently only Jack gets to pick.

I don’t know if Project Runway is trying to appeal to a wider audience, or just trying to vary the challenges a bit, but this episode was a bit of a break from the typical fashion format.

When I watch Project Runway, I’m generally in awe because I have NO idea how to do what they do. I can hem my pants, provided they’re not really good pants and they’re not lined.
