Is it just me, or could you also give two shits about who wins this season of Project Runway?
Yes I know, this is the Season2 cast…I could not for the life of me find a cast photo for Season 5. Just shows how little Bravo has invested in this lackluster season, which is probably why it’s chock-full-o-lack luster characters and why most of the challenges are centered around promoting PRoRo’s sponsors (make a dress out of a Saturn, anyone?)
That said, I was pretty jazzed about the initial promise of last night’s challenge: recent college grads who need to look like adults for their post-college lives? HEROOOOOOOOO, this is, like, so totally my life! Plus, these girls…
Hmmmm: vintage, androgyny and American Apparel V-Neck men’s t-shirts? These women were plucked straight from the awkward quads of Oberlin, the ones littered with ladies who need their roots done REAL BAD.
As promising as this challenge was…um, is it just me, or do these designers actually have no idea what it means to work in an office?
These designers were totally dumbfounded about making clothes for young, professional women. This was by far the most straightforward design-for-real-people challenge so far this season and watching these people struggle to dress these cute, fashionable girls was…confusing.
Let me tell you, designers, what 2008 is not. 2008 is not 1960: these girls are not secretaries! Shit, one of them was going to med school for fuck-sake…do you think she’d be comfortable giving a rectal exam in this short little number?
I think not! What happened to pants, people? PANTS! Seriously, this isn’t Mad Men.
And those girls are NOT Joan. And can I just say…DAMN
Anyway, I was glad Jerrel won, his girl was happy and felt beautiful at the end of the competition and that made me warm inside. Overall though, I really hope Karto takes the whole thing. She is the bomb.com, and those pictures of her and her adorable daughter had even my boyfriend, who pretends to hate children, swooning out in the open.
We’ll have to wait and see I suppose!
PEAS!

I totally agree with everything you said. Plus how annoying is Kenley? Ms. I don’t look at other designers, I dont’ listen to the judges, I don’t listen to Tim Gunn. Who does she think that she is? I mean obviously her clothes are not new or innovative because she makes different versions of the clothes she wears on the show! I hate her an I hope she loses. Other than that I don’t really care who wins either. I guess Korto because she had to flea political persecution in Africa, raise a baby by herself, and her clothes are usually great. That makes her deserving to me. Love you al!
I’m flattered, but I don’t really get why this is about me.
I also agree with you
You asked me to blog more about Project Runway!
I do love me some Joan and Mad Men.
