First off, I have now seen last night's Project Runway.
Man, I wish they'd had to design for themselves on other seasons. That could have turned out scary-awesome. (Jay and Austin designing for themselves would have been a fucking blast.)
Okay, by designer:
Jeffrey -- Here's my thing with Jeffrey. I think he's a smug asshole, and his designs for the show have been touch-and-go. However, there's got to be some shred of talent there in what he knows. Kayne knows pageant dresses, Jeffrey knows rock star clothes. Yeah, okay, YOU can't wear them, which is going to be his downfall at this rate (Vincent wasn't full of shit when he said the everyday woman was who they'd be designing for), but they're still paying for him. And the photos they showed from his portfolios look good for what they're supposed to be. So if he wants to make a rock star outfit, it had better turn out good or there goes his business.
He's still an asshole who needs to shut the hell up, but I'll admit it. I liked his outfit. And, while I'm being honest, I am the only person on the planet who liked his Madonna corset dress.
Also, he did win a little for saying that he doesn't know what he's going to do after this is over without Tim Gunn popping up and surprising him all the time. Heh. Who wouldn't miss that?
Angela -- Heeeeeeeee. I'm not the least bit surprised that she got sent home, because her personal style is ridiculous. Quilting and "fluerchons"? Oh, for crying out loud. The "fun Angela pieces" crap was starting to get silly. It's very sweet that you think that everybody just doesn't get your style. That's because your style sucks.
Kayne -- Oh, sweetie. You are adorable as all get out, but that outfit. That gay gunslinger outfit. *shakes head* Please don't do that again. Yes, color and sparkle are nice. No, not THAT color.
Vincent -- I know keeping it simple means you have less to screw up, but it also means you have less. And what the hell happened to the crazy? I'm starting to miss it.
Laura -- My favorite outfit out of all of the ladies. She looked really put together and pretty, and she should keep her hair down more often. It softens her features and makes the paleness look less harsh. (And oh, yeah, you can definitely see the pregnancy now, but then again, we're looking for it now.) Also, that look on her face when Michael walked the Parsons Paris runway was so sweet.
Uli -- Darling, I love you and your clothes, but I'm very happy the judges said they're seeing the same dress from you all the time. I have faith that you've got a good enough head on your shoulders to take that under advisement and spice it up from now on.
Michael -- I know I have a crush on the guy, but this is the first episode I can honestly say that I took one look at him (in his design) and wanted to crawl through my computer screen. My baby is so freakin' HOT. :)
Next week: French people egg the contestants. BWAHAHAHAHA!

And while I'm here, my August fic roundup ...
Down The Line From Nowhere (Supernatural, Sam/Dean) -- Sam and Dean pass through Northeastern Pennsylvania and take it easy. Well, you know, their kind of "taking it easy."
Real Men Don't Make Cheesecake (Supernatural, Dean) -- Dean takes home economics, and chaos ensues. And no, it's not his fault. Heh. Oh, I've really got to write that Project Runway crossover, especially with the jet-set episode. *snickers*
Sudoku (Supernatural, Dean) -- Dean develops his own geeky fixation. I've got my own handheld right next to the laptop. That's so sad. ;)
The Days Don't End Here, My Friend (Supernatural, Dean and Sam) -- If you'd ask him, Dean would tell you he's going to die on the hunt. Good luck trying, pal. Aw, poor woobie Dean. *cuddles*
Turn The Page (Supernatural, Dean) -- Dean gets a new hobby after Sam leaves for Stanford. God, I would love to see Dean show up for a book signing. HEEE.
Erm, I think I need to write some Sam and John fic. I've been ignoring them, apparently. (Seventy-seven fics for the year. Only twenty-three more until I officially need to get a life.)

Date: 2006-08-31 09:09 pm (UTC)I love Michael like crazy too. I think he might be my favorite of all time on this show. Also how cute were he and Kayne with their runway practice? I actually squealed out loud at the cuteness.

Date: 2006-08-31 11:03 pm (UTC)I also love the fact that Michael was taking it semi-seriously, and not mocking him or anything. I want to smish them both, since they are just so dang adorable.

That would be so awesome; I love me some Tim Gunn. Although to be fair, who doesn't?

Date: 2006-08-31 11:10 pm (UTC)Even when he teases other people, Michael always seems like the kind of guy who never means it in a mean way at all. His mama raised him right. (And is a really pretty lady to boot.)

Date: 2006-09-01 12:12 am (UTC)I love Michael. He's been my favorite for a while now, I think (at least since the Fashion Icon Ep), because everything he designs is amazing, well-constructed, and he's so darn nice. And hot. I love that he doesn't let himself get distracted by or drag into all the sniping, just focuses on his work and produces stunning results.
And oh, that outfit? *LICK* I hope he wins!

Date: 2006-08-31 11:26 pm (UTC)(I actually think a Bradley/Kayne has the propensity to be really cute, but as a rule, I am mostly not a fan of RPS about people who have real-life partners that completely disappear in the fanfic--thus ruling out Kayne, unless Warren is accounted for too. Hmmmm...)
