They’re jet-setters! Except for you, Angela.

Posted by Maggie September 6th, 2006 at 11:15am In Project Runway

My apologies for being so slow with this report on last week's excellent Project Runway. Due to various conflicts (midwestern states, mothers without TVs, the New Jersey transit schedule, and more watercrafts than you might expect), I only saw the episode last night.

The challenge was to create an outfitter for a jet-setter. The twist? That jet-setter is YOU! In more ways than you might think! 

Angela decided that linen was an appropriate fabric for traveling. She tries to blame her lack of inspiration for this challenge on being from Iowa and not traveling a lot, but damn, girl. Everybody knows you can't travel in linen, even Iowans. And how did you get to New York? Via teleportation? 

In other bad ideas, Vincent makes a pair of black scrubs. I hate him and everything he does, but that's kind of impressive. Congratulations, Vincent. You did absolutely nothing, but at least you didn't use linen.  

And Kayne? Poor, poor Kayne. I admire that he really stuck with his idea and seemed to like it, but he was the only one. He looked cute, but in a chorus-member-of-Joseph-and-the-Amazing-Technicolor-Dreamcoat way. Not in an actually cute way.

Michael, as usual, kicked ass in a seriously awesome-looking outfit. Who knew Michael was so hot?

Jeffrey continued being an insufferable ass, but his outfit was pretty great. And he won. Maybe now he'll stop whining for two seconds, though I won't be holding my breath. 

Uli finally got reprimanded for making the same dress over and over again. It's an excellent dress, and no one else has the balls to use prints (although I guess that thing Kayne taped to the back of his shirt was a "print"), but she really does need to branch out.

Laura should also branch out a bit, but I liked her dress. It looks like something I would actually buy, if it weren't so pale-colored. Also, I am back to loving Laura. A) She always looks genuinely happy when Michael gets complimented, because she loves him. B) She's got an awesome blase attitude about being pregnant. C) She also hates Jeffrey.

And then they all go to Paris. But Angela has to go back home, where I'm sure she'll take her anger out on some poor unsuspecting fleurchons.
