i heart project runway...

...well, usually. the season finale was last wednesday, and thanks to the glories of you tube i was able to watch it just hours after it aired on bravo. anyway, i have to say that despite my devotion for tim gunn (image above snagged from its creator's blog ), heidi klum (i can't help but think she is adorable. i know people think she's annoying but i kind of love her), and all things project runway, that this season was a total letdown. 

to be fair, i did love korto, her designs, and the fact that she hails from monrovia, liberia. i do love the dramz with kenley, even though i thought she was rude, rude, rudeness. and i did like that the final three were all women, for once. but overall, it just seemed tired...blah...and even the designs seemed not as over the top as in seasons past. where was the craziness of a santino or christian or jeffrey sebelia? (and as i write these names, why are the crazy crazies always male? hmm. interesting.)

in the end, i wish that korto had won. leanne was ok, i suppose, but a bit on the boring side. i also wish i had gotten to see jerrell's entire collection instead of kenley's. 

i know, i doubt any of you reading this even care. 

but the show is still a little addictive, & i am really hoping that the show injects a little somethin' somethin' to spice it up the next time around.

(if anyone else here is an addict, there is a british version you can find on youtube called project catwalk. not as good, although season one with elizabeth hurley in heidi klum's role is on the ok side.)

why i love top chef & project runway


ok, some may say this is trashy reality tv, but i am as addicted to bravo tv shows as matt is to his latest new yorker. i think it is primarily because it reminds me of being in art school. seriously, every time i get to the last ten snarky minutes where the judges are tearing things apart and the person who totally deserves to get sent home for their crappy recipe or hideous outfit somehow survives the chopping block for another week, i think to myself: that is SO an art critique. maybe it is my at-home-feeling to watch these poor souls scramble to get something good together for the judges table or the runway only to be torn to bits. or raved about like they're the latest art star. or maybe i just like trashy reality tv. 

least fav project runway people this season: 
suede (why talk about yourself in the third person unless you are updating your status on facebook?)
daniel. kenley. (cause they both think they are super amazing. and they're not)

faves: korto (how could i not love her? she's from monrovia, liberia. and her outfits kick ass.)
terri (so sad to see her go home)
blayne (ok, not really, but i think it's funny that he adds -licious onto everything. still not christian's fierce from last season, but cute.)
jerell 

confusing: joe (how is he still in the running???)

all i know is....please let sjp's vision for an art reality show happen. please. it would be so amazing. or complete crap.
