Oh my Gabanna! Glory Hallelujah! Ladies and gentlemen we have life! And leave it to my favorite people on earth: Drag Queens!! And none other than her reigning Majesty, RuPaul, was on the judges panel.
If you've been watching Project Runway at all this season, then you know it's been flatter than Keira Knightly and half as enjoyable to watch. Way to push things up to a Double D cup Project Runway! Literally! These ladies were schlepping around boobs bigger than blimps! With their larger than life artificial appendages came larger than life personalities that the show has been in desperate need of since the news that Project Runway will be moving to... Lifetime(the horror!).
OK! So now we’re getting somewhere! This was definitely the most mentionable episode of Project Runway this season, featuring none other than the beautiful and always sensational Brooke Shields! Designers were presented with the challenge to design a costume for her character of Wendy on the hit series Lipstick Jungle. Not only did it have to suit Wendy’s character, she would have to be able to wear it to work on the studio and then be able to wear it in the evening and still look appropriate. It worked just like Sarah Jessica Parker’s challenge for Bitten last season. Brooke chose six of the best ideas and the designers worked in teams of two to create the look. Tonight, I agreed with the judges decisions!
Ok, this episode was an improvement from last week, if all we’re speaking about is what the designers came up with. The show itself… bombastically boring! One episode from last season was far more interesting than all four episodes that have aired so far.
Featuring Olympic cutie Apolo Ohno, the designers had to create a look that Olympic athletes could wear to the Opening Ceremonies. However, even with the presence of the man probably better known amongst we pretty men for winning Dancing with the Stars, the show still feels lividly lack-luster.
Perhaps the most entertaining thing that happened over the course of the hour was Joe’s bitching at Daniel for taking “his machine” and complaining about the number of “Queens” in the competition. My question to you Joe: Have you seen the past four seasons of the show? Hold on… you work in the fashion industry… are you blind? Aside from that, there was nothing spectacular about the look you came up with… at all! More after the jump!
Ok, this time the judges have left me with the general sensation of just, “What the Phuck?” Seriously, I just don’t understand any of the decisions they made with this challenge. Well, I understand them… I just generally don’t agree with them.
Firstly, let’s discuss the challenge: To create a look look for a night out on the town inspired by photographs taken of four popular spots in New York City. I feel like only a few of the designers even grasped that idea to begin with. If you’re going out for a night on the town, you want something that’s going to get you noticed. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to wear, but you can deal with it for one night.
Now, I don’t know about any other place in the world, but in New York City, what is a night on the town? A nice dinner? A visit to a lounge? Or maybe a club? Some dancing? Something that might possibly end up in a person getting laid over the course of the night? Did ANYONE get that at all?
