TERRIBLY IMPORTANT SUBJECT
WHY HAS NOBODY ON MY FRIENDSLIST BEEN DISCUSSING LAST NIGHT'S PROJECT RUNWAY, HUH?
YOU PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT.
OK, I find myself wanting Chris to beat out Rami just because I know what I'll see on the runway if Rami shows* - it'll be gorgeous, but familiar - but I want to see the showmanship that Chris loves.
And even though I would find myself wanting to strangle Christian if I was in a room with him longer than thirty seconds, I'm glad he made it because I think he'll be the first designer to not play it safe on the runway during this final competition. Everyone else has disappointed me in the end, so far.
* And, yeah, I know all five of them showed at Fashion Week so that nobody would know which three made it. There's really bound to be some photos online somewhere, unless Bravo was damn tight on security...

Which may be another example of misplaced priorities, who knows. XD

I watch way more TV now that I have a TiVo. I no longer bow to the tyranny of network schedules. XD
Off and on through my life, I've spent a chunk o'years without a TV - Africa, then my first few college years, most recently my latest stint in grad school. XD Not to mention my last years of highschool, when we moved to the country and only got 2 channels, neither of which carried anything I watched, so I stopped watching TV, so I might as well not have had one. XD

This. I actually own a television, the broadcast reception's just ass around here for some reason.
Eventually I want to replace the TV itself with something nicer -- like with actual dedicated a/v inputs, not a single coax jack. Then maybe I'll get cable.

I was disappointed that Chris did something so like his avant-garde entry. Kef and I thought he should have employed some of the corseting seen in the inspiring portrait for a nice contrast of diaphanous swirl plus straight, hard lines. The only thing peacock about Sweet P's presentation was the woman's hair! I liked Christian's entry once the big top black thing came off. When he spoke of how wonderful L'Oreal was, Kef and I smirked about how he's already a product placement whore.

Sweet P can design mundane clothes just fine, but very little of what she's shone had the pizazz I think is necessary to win these things.
I'm really psyched for next week's sit-down with all the contestants mostly because it sounds like Heidi gives Victorya some of the what-for. I was so glad when Victorya got the boot. Repetitive and has an attitude and a chip on her shoulder? About the only thing Victorya did that I liked was the fauxhawk-inspired punk ensemble she collaborated with Jillian on.
(I liked Jillian's armor-inspired outfit this week, although it was too much bling for me no matter what Heidi thinks.)
no subject
OTOH, if she's smart, she'll be taking the publicity over her appearance on this show and parlaying it into a business of her own.
Yeah, Victorya just annoyed me. I can't even pin it on anything in particular, I just know that if I had to spend more than five minutes in a room with her, I'd want to strangle either her or myself.
no subject
Victorya was sullen, superior, and passive-aggressive, which is never a good combination but is even worse when she doesn't have the talent to make up for any of it.

I really liked Jillian's outfit. I've heard some people not liking her, but I do like her clothes. It's entirely possible that the reason this was the most emotion we saw from her is because she'd been keeping it check and focusing on the goal. That's how I would've handled it.
It's weird that they slagged on Rami so much for always doing the same thing. I remember Laura from last season with her week after week of extreme plunge v neckline. (ugh. It looked like some 80s stuff worn backwards!) They didn't comment on it at all until they were sending her through to fashion week. I just find it a bizarre change from them.
Because I've been watching a lot of Project Runway, I've noticed some interesting things. Frex, Heidi's voiceover is often dubbed. I can hear it when she's off-screen but speaking; the change is pretty distinctive. This week, it seemed like a lot of the dialogue was on 105-110%—maybe they were trying to cram a lot into the episode? (It was an unkind thing to do to poor Tim, though.)
BTW, geeky Brownian motion reference ftw!

Huh. I hadn't noticed any of that other stuff. Interesting.

Yeah, Chris and Christian would be awesome on the runway.
And there are photos-- I think you can get the link at Salon, but I'm trying to behave.
