In Project Runway
I’ve learned my lesson.
No more posting about Project Runway the day after unless it’s well labeled as spoilery and all of the incriminating material is posted well after the jump.
That said, I’ve created a list of Project Runway superlatives based on last night’s episode. Click through to see what they are. Well, I’ll put a couple tame ones on the front page:
Most non-sensical comment
Christian’s comment to a model “Thank you more than life.” It sounded like a thing — but it’s not.
Most lovable Sweet P moment
When she lifted up her foot to show everyone how dirty it was after running around the tetanus-laden warehouse. It’s just another example of why I love her. She’s so child-like — like she’s Laura Bennett’s kid, offering Tim Gunn turtle poop.
Best dismissal of Christian’s attitude
Chris’ remark that “It’s so cute to see youth.” Said like a queen who’s seen it all. All that was missing was a mai tai and an inflatable raft in a Miami hotel pool.
Weirdest territorial behavior
Jillian’s insistence that coats are her thing when Victorya made one. Maybe Jillian was just mad because she was already re-creating much of the same vibe of her last creation, with the big honking buttons on one side of the coat.
Most incongruous moment
Rami’s baby pictures. I really only need to see him as a sex object. I don’t ever want to think that he was a child. Ramis aren’t born — they’re hatched. Bald, buff and beautiful.
Most damning editing
Splicing Ricky’s entrance next to Christian’s comment that some annoying people are still in the competition.
Best garment
Sweet P’s. I loved it. Followed by Christian’s, then Ricky.– annoying people comment then ricky
Biggest indicator of a psychological meltdown (tie)
Chris’s crazy talking to himself (actually, it was more of a dialogue with the garment) and Jillian’s sewing room panic.
Worst garment
Victorya’s. It just looked like a 1988 relic. I’m pretty shocked that she’s gone, but I can’t say that it wasn’t earned.
When Chris said that about Christian I almost fell off the couch. It was amazing.
And doesn’t this blue dress that Brooke Shields is wearing totally look like something Rami would make? I keep seeing the outdoor ads and it’s bugging me.
Speaking of that ad, is anyone else bothered by the lack of clothing on Kim Raver? (All right, peanut gallery, laugh it up.) I just don’t see how that dress is staying upright. Or how things are staying upright in it.
I’m at the point where I only like Chris. Rami and Jillian are talented but totally humorless. Sweet P’s clothes are not inspiring. Christian is need of comeuppance. And Ricky… ugh. Ricky.
Kim Raver scares me. (And I think the answer to your question, Maggie, is “Photoshop.”) I saw Night at the Museum in IMAX (it was for work!) and her face just doesn’t need to be 50 feet tall. I mean, no one’s does. But particularly hers and Robin Williams’s.
I’m glad one of the passive-aggressive queens is gone. Jillian and Victorya both seemed so…put upon by the competition. Like, they want to go to Fashion Week, but all this competing and sewing and being awake is so HAAAARRRRDDD. God. I like Jillian’s clothes most of the time, but she’s such a whiner. She and Christian should be locked in a small room together to whine. Chris can come sit near me.
I’m glad Victorya is gone. I didn’t think she was that talented and I wanted to punch her.
Jillian is f’ing crazy, I would say her moment in the sewing room is the craziest breakdown:
“I’m bleeding EVERYWHERE”
(Rami comes over)
“You aren’t even bleeding”
I love Christian. He has to win, he’s a genius.
I was pretty pissed at Rami for being such an ass to Sweet P in the last episode, but he seems to have redeemed himself. He even had his arm around her at one point during the episode, so I guess now they’re BFFs? And he was generally very smiley this time around. So okay, I love him again.
