apocalypsos*squeals* I cannot WAIT for this week's Project Runway.
I mean, I'd been spoiled already a little by the TWoP boards, but what it is is that the models have to scramble to pick a photo of a fashion icon -- Madonna, Cher, Jackie O, etc. -- for their designer to update. And apparently the designers are switching models again.
My personal favorite?
Nazri and Michael, redoing "Pam motherfucking Grier."
That is so perfect, I can't even. *spazzes out* C'mon, baby, show 'em what you've got! *snuggles Michael*
So Bradley's model (was her name Clarissa? I could swear it's something with a C) is with Angela now, and she picked Audrey Hepburn, and they flip out and bounce around the room together. Between that and last week's team challenge, I'm starting to think Angela might be my Andrae this year, where I couldn't stand him for the first few episodes but then he started to grow on me, occasionally questionable design decisions and all, until by the end of the season I was sad to see him go. Honestly, when she's not going hideously outside the boundaries of what the challenge entails -- Jubilee Jumbles? Oh, for crying out loud -- or doing something that might harm another designer's chances (interrupting Kayne's sketching time, bugging the hell out of Vincent ... not that he didn't have his own problems, but from what I've heard from the podcast and other behind-the-scenes stuff, she was far more detrimental to their success or lack thereof), the spazzy excitement is VERY identifiable. God knows I've been there. And at least she's more flaily than smug when she wins or gets something she likes, which is a nice change from the usual on this show. (Yes, I'm complimenting Angela. She's slowly digging herself out of her hole. Granted, her hole is so deep it gets Chinese food delivered from the source in thirty minutes or less or her money back, but still.)
Oh, yeah, the others that were in the preview:
-- Katie gets stuck, or at least that's the way it sounds, with early!Cher. With the right designer, she would look amazing, but if she's still Laura's model as of this challenge, I'm a little worried. It's a chance for Laura to step outside her sophisticated box, though, which would be cool.
-- Uli and Lindsay got Diana Ross. I can see Lindsay working the HELL out of that, but I'm not all that sure of Uli and her halter-dress uniform, however pretty and well-made it might be.
-- Danielle got Robert Jackie O. Well, of course she would. It's perfect for him.
-- Jeffrey's model (can't remember which one he has this week) got him Madonna. Good for her, because he'll get to play with rock star stuff, so it's kind of like Kayne doing the pageant gown. I doubt he'll be adding actual color to his color palette anytime soon because of it, but now's his chance to shine. (In retrospect, I liked his dog challenge dress a hell of lot. Granted, I want to see what he could do with something more vibrant than beige, but it's not so bad. The pageant gown still grates, though.)
-- Kayne. Marilyn Monroe. 'Nuff said.
-- Farrah Fawcett was a choice. I can't remember who gets her, but I kind of love that a LOT. (I hope it's Bradley. Somehow, I think I love that.)

I'm going to have to urge to say that over and over and OVER again until Wednesday.
*trembles with antici .... pation*

Date: 2006-08-07 06:10 pm (UTC)Yeah, that's. Okay, I just want the damn thing already, and with my fucked-up DSL situation, I may not be able to get it! Woe!

Date: 2006-08-07 06:13 pm (UTC)Seconded. Seriously, I don't want to slash anybody this season as much as I want to write Kayne-and-Robert or Laura-and-Michael BFF fic, and I LOVE it. *hugs them all*

Date: 2006-08-09 04:08 am (UTC)And Pam Grier? I'm all flaily about tomorrow night's episode like you wouldn't believe just to see what that man can do with Pam Grier as his inspiration and Nazri as his model.
