Project Runway Rundown: Welcome to Slackerville
I'm coming into this season with excitement, but weariness at the same time. In the past we have had so many fantastic characters (Wendy Pepper, Austin Scarlett, Santino, Christian etc...) so it's kinda like, how can you top that? It seems like the casting directors were sleepy because they didn't. I feel like every contestant is a carbon copy of someone we've already seen. And that's just their personality, not their talent obviously.
"Let's pick another girl that looks like Zulima.
Oh, we definitely need a fagalicious flamer.
We need an old lady over 40..."
I can go on and on.
First of all LOL @ Blayne. Stop trying to make "girlicious" happen. It's not going to happen. It is not the new "fierce", and I hope the music group (I use the term 'music' loosely) Girllicious fine you for every time you utter that word. I like how the Bettie Page-wannabe girl was like "omg you're soo tan!" Which was basically a backwards way of saying "you are soo fug!"
Anyone else think that Keith is totally out of place? I didn't think Kevin Federline was interested in fashion design. And Suede--please. I like how he named all these companies he worked for and they were either 90's era and have died, or things sold at Marshall's.
Okay, let me get it out now, Wesley is a fox. An adorable fox. I want to cuddle him and call him my own. I like how he said he worked for Marc Jacobs for a year but he made sure to leave out how Marc probably tried to sleep with him. I'm a little frustrated with how 60% of the girls all look the same. I can't even recall their names because they all just run together. There's Bettie Page, crooked bangs girl, quiet bangs girl...see where I'm getting at?
I was happy to see Austin make a cameo, but I was terribly distracted by his outfit. Every time he opened his mouth, all I heard was, "BERRIES AND CREAM, BERRIES AND CREAM, I'M A LITTLE LAD WHO LOVES BERRIES AND CREAMMM!!'
The challenge was a let down since they have resorted to repeating challenges. I'm sure it was bound to happen, but it resulted in a bunch of boring paper dresses. Tim Gunn couldn't have said it better when he called them a bunch of slackers. You would think that if everyone went straight for the tablecloth/picnic section, some of the contestants would think twice about what they wanted to create. That's why I was so impressed with Daniel's Solo Cup dress.
Oh, and Stella, don't get mad, get GLAD. No one told you to get the store brand cheap-o trash bags. That was YOUR fuck-up. Yeah that creepy shower-nurse-serial killer thing that what's-his face made was bad BUT AT LEAST HE TRIED. I want you gone, and I want you gone by next episode.
All in all so far I'm underwhelmed. Come on PR, bring the 'Fifth Season of Fabulous' like you said you will. I'm waiting.
I'm a little lad who loves Berries and Cream!
Wesley, I love you, but those formal shorts have GOT TO GO
