Models of The Runway: Episode 1

Can I just say that I <3 that there's a new show specifically dedicated to the PR models? Poor things...it's about time! LOL!

Wait, what's the premise of this? It's not like the models can REALLY control whether they get discarded or not.

Well, it's about TIME they have a REAL model challenge!

Seriously, I'M jealous of the winners. Swag baby! But still, I'm perplxd. It's not like they did anything 2 win - RANDOM ASSIGNMENT, ppl!

Wow. Poor Erica. Now that Qristyl chose her, she's going home soon 4 sure... Sorry!

Episode 1: Welcome to Los Angeles!

SUCH the neuroscientist I am. I luv Ra'mon the "neurosurg". But it begs the ?, when exactly did he quit school, after the 1st week or l8tr?

Hmm.. this batch of designers seems poor. Porfolios suggest cooky designs abound!

PR is filled with ALOT of people from podunk places this time (forgive me, Midwest USA!)

Aww… they lost Bluefly as a sponsor in the move… sniff sniff… no Bluefly Accessory Wall...

Observation: Ari is cooky as Elisa with her "spit-marking"... "I don't sketch, I meditate"... Ha! I see interesting comments in the future.

Johnny, man up - gay men R telling u to get a grip! What did u THINK it was going to B like? Did u think they wouldn't have CHALLENGES?????

PSA: "Mitchell, it's midnight, do you know where your dress is?" Come on man, it's midnight & all you have is a collar???WTF?

Ok, I'm all 4 plus-sized designs & designers (& AA designers), but Qristyl, did u have 2 graduate from the Tina Knowles' School of Design?

Runway:

It may have been comped 4 this episode, but I swear MK, lay off of Lilo's new suntanning spray! You get more oompa loompa every season....

Althea: Nice

Gordana: Blech

Malvin: That is so NOT red carpet. Cute, but not even NEAR red carpet.

Mitchell: 3 words: O dear God. Did u C Nina’s face? She looked like she was going 2 have an aneurysm. Thk goodness neurosurg Ra'mon's there!

Louise: Ok

Christopher: I luv it! I can just see Rihanna wearing it – can’t you?

Ra’mon: Very nice, but not wowing me…

Shirin: Bor-ing

Epperson: Interesting

Irina: Niiiiiiice.

Ari: NOT red carpet. NOT. EVEN. A. DRESS. Did you not get the memo? Maybe you should meditate on the words coming out of Tim Gunn’s mouth….

Johnny: Uh, a little slutty

Carol: Poorly made, good design.

Qristyl: I know this genre – “What if Tina Knowles’ made an Emmy dress?” Girl, you captured THAT perfectly!

Logan: Sigh. Wack.

Nicolas: Ok, but again, NOT red carpet. Still, I GUESS it could be worn to the music awards….

On Qristyl’s “attack” by the judges: Wow, Nina, could you be more of an arse? Wait, MK topped you… Sht, Lilo, lay down the law!

See, I don’t even like Johnny’s that much. Y are they raving about it? Does she NOT look like she’s wearing a “Hammer” (aka diaper) dress?

Heidi is so stern when she says “one of you will be ‘aught’” – does anyone else wonder if she’s the same way with her kids?

Speak of Heidi, cn I just say how unfair it is tht she's always pregger & still looks amaz? I mean, I know it’s her job, but STILL not fair.

I love it when I’m right about who will be in, and who will be out :-)

The premise...

Ok, so the premise of this blog is that I'm going to do what I've done for every season of Project Runway thus far (albeit usually on a napkin, the back of my cell phone bill or another random piece of paper lying around my somewhat too messy house), that is, to write up my comments as I watch the show. For those of my friends (you know who you are) who have proclaimed to be fans of my emails and texts about PR, you'll now be able to read them in digest format.

So why this blog? Can't I just continue to email my friends, and allow the rest of the world to go on their merry way without knowing about my PR obsession? Well, this little bit of genius came from the collision of two occurrences. 1) I have no more time in my life. Seriously. I need to truncate something. 2) Twitter. Thanks guys. My entry into the twitterverse has allowed me to truncate the aforementioned busy life neatly into 120 character or less blurbs. Aha! This gave me the great idea for this blog. Project Runway tweets, in digest format.

Ok, I must admit, I just thought of this today (the morning after the first episode of PR). I also came to the unfortunate realization that I missed the all-star (why didn't anyone tell me?) episode prior to the new season. But I did catch the lovely Models of the Runway show after. Anyhow, what this all means is that I'm going to have to retro-tweet my comments and post on the blog (not sure if I'll post them to the twitterverse) later today.

Well, to anyone who is reading this, thanks for indulging me. Although I was initially bummed about the move to Lifetime, I did remember why I used to watch hours and hours of Lifetime movies before.... Lifetime knows how to keep you attached to your tv for several hours/days (I heard that if you watched the whole PR season opener last night, you were glued to your couch for 3 1/2 hours). Lifetime truly is television for women... I'm just glad they opened up the channel to gay men as well ;-)
