Humor me, please. Because reality TV is my brain’s yoga. It helps it breathe, relax, be one.
[Spoiler Alert: If you have not seen last night's episode of Project Runway yet, please stay far, far away from this post until you do. Then, once you have, please come back. Immediately. Please?]
Did Eliza “I want to imbue the fabric with natural elements” warm your heart a little last night? With the being shy and the covering the eyes and the I have only intimately dressed my boyfriend talk? Did anyone else think that her outfit – while ignored for commentary on last night’s episode - looked more appropriate for a fairy or elf that scurries around a moonlit forest than former NY Giants running back and current Today Show commentator Tiki Barber?
Did anyone else find Carmen’s outfit from last night’s episode of Project Runway to be oddly reminiscent?:
The model actually wears less clothing than poor Oliver Twist and tis more ill-fitting.

Hm?
The woman wrapped a blue piece of fabric around the model’s neck in lieu of a shirt and, Carmen, aren’t you scared of Nina Garcia Fashion Director of ELLE Magazine? Sending that down the runway to be seen by Nina Garcia Fashion Director of ELLE Magazine (Ed. note: That’s her full name, right?) is akin to looking directly into the eyes of a gorilla. Or something. It’s just unnecessary provocation.
I really wanted the model to strike a pose at the end of the runway, whip out a wooden bowl, look to the camera, and ask, “May I have some more, Sir?” before turning around and sayshaying away. (Ed. note: How awesome would that have been? Poor Michael Kors would have had a heart-attack right there on the spot.) Because at least then, I’d understand that Carmen the Former Model – while not a great designer – at least had a sense of humor. Or the initiative to abuse her spot on a reality television show to get herself talked about on all the celebrity tabloids or blogs the day after the episode aired.
Which would have been a hell of a lot easier to stomach (and so much more fierce) than her sniffles that the world, the whole wide world, never got to truly see her amazing designs.
HAHAHA! You’re so totally fierce.
I haven’t watched last night’s episode of PR yet, but I am really looking forward to it now! Hmm, maybe I will make some porridge to eat as I watch.
nicole – no gurl, you so fierce! (say that in your best tyra voice when you read it, okay?)
virginia – you are hilarious! and inspired the new post title!
damnit! my dvr box got it’s priorities all mixed up and didn’t record last night’s episode. but now i can’t wait for the next airing. i feel snarky already!
[...] Damsel said it best. [...]
I liked what Elisa said. She’s crazy, but I thought it was oddly sweet.
Ginny Barber’s appearance seemed pointless, if not for the line “Asians are fierce.”
elisabeth – hahaha! i had totally forgotten about that asians are fierce line and yes, unless the point of ginny’s appearance was to inspire that statement, she was a snooze fest in my opinion. (ps i love how your name is spelled:) )
