Project Runway is back! *dances*
That said ...
Tablecloths? Really?
*sigh*
Don't make me miss Wendy's candy bikini, I swear to God.
That said, I adored Kelli's winning dress. I was a little iffy on that round coffee filter shape around the breasts, but otherwise I thought it was brilliant and innovative given the materials. And aside from the tablecloth factor, I loved Korto's dress. I loved the styling, I loved the color, and I lovedlovedLOVED the salad collar.
As or the losing dresses ... oh, Jerry. I totally get why that lost. I mean, Stella's garbage bag dress was really, REALLY bad, but at the same time it didn't look almost offensive. Seriously, I've seen that outfit before and Dexter Morgan was wearing it.
Okay, as for the contestants:
Joe (aka Straight Guy) -- Well, I don't hate him. And he did do the straight guy "Hey, I'm the straight guy!" thing, although thankfully it was with his kids rather than MY WIFE MY WIFE I HEART MY WIFE! AND HER BOOBIES! As long as he's not mentioning the kids ALL the time (which isn't Annoying Straight Guy as much as it is Generally Annoying Reality Contestant), he can stay.
Jerry -- Meh. It's okay he's gone.
Emily -- So Rachel Weisz quit movies to become a fashion designer? This is what I'm supposed to get looking at her, right? Not that I'm knocking on her because I think she's adorable but STILL.
Daniel -- No wonder he did so well in this challenge. He learned his lesson the first time in season one when he weighed about twenty pounds more and was named Mario.
Jennifer -- Aw, Jennifer. You're so cute. And dorky. Can't forget dorky! See, now I'm kinda regretting that Wesley's gay because oh, MAN, the dorky love story I could be writing right now.
Korto -- My first impression was, "Her hair is gorgeous!" I mean, she's an amazing designer and I love her clothes and she doesn't seem like a wench just yet, but OMG PRETTY HAIR.
Blayne -- Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate. Somewhere between the tanorexia and the "Girlicious," you lost me. You really fucking lost me.
Stella -- Look, Stella, let's talk. I like your aesthetic as seen in your portfolio, I do. But if you get your garbage bags back to the workroom and they're not what you thought they'd be, keep working. Stop your bitching and whining and FIX IT.
Leanne -- She's cute so far, although when they were going to the grocery store and her musings about where they could be going included an amusement park? Oh, hon. You're in NYC. Tell me where the amusement park is. Really.
Wesley -- No, really, now I'm feeling bad about you and your uncomfortable shorts being gay. Aw, you and Jennifer would make such an adorkable couple!
Suede -- Your name is Suede, darling, which I highly doubt your parents gave you in some strange vision of the future. Do me a favor and don't become more obnoxious by speaking about yourself in the third person.
Kelli -- Loved her dress SO MUCH. She seems okay so far, too, so there's that.
Terri -- I loved that she used mop heads. LOVED. I wish she could have managed to make the whole dress out of it, but whatever.
Jerrell -- I would be less forgiving of him if he hadn't knocked on Blayne. Heh.
Kenley -- Eh. She's okay so far, I guess.
Keith -- YOU. Yes, YOU. You keep wearing wifebeaters and glasses and showing your fucking tattoos and being all urban and I'll keep pondering how I can get you into another contestant's pants in fiction. \o/

... uh, NO. I'd rather have Christian again.

Date: 2008-07-17 05:45 pm (UTC)I want to root for Leanne because she's from Portland and she's a bit nerdy and her portfolio stuff looked SO ME, but oh dear, the pink dress with the candy was a bit unfortunate.
Jerell's adorable and I luff him.
And when Austin Scarlett showed up I may have let out a ridiculously high-pitched "YAY!" I'm so glad this show's back.
