It's nobody's fault but your own. (project runway rant)
Reading the blogs and message boards, people seem to love Ping. What I see is that her likability is due to the fact that she's living on her own planet and is super-creative. But as a clothing designer, I just don't get it. People talk about her edge and vision, and that she just needs to get the hang of translating it. But to me, it's the emperor's new clothes. I'll give her that she's a creative, forward-thinking artist, but not a fashion designer. Design requires specific skills, not just talent and vision. Unless you're trying to condemn someone, it should evoke something positive (not necessarily pretty - power, strength, satisfaction, intimidation even...). All her garments seem to evoke is a big mess.
However, I was willing to give Ping another chance until I saw this. Tim told her it was going to be too short, and the model even said, oh yeah, let's make sure my butt isn't hanging out. If the seam only comes down from the waistline 4 inches, how in the hell is that going to cover anyone's ass that's older than 2? I'll agree that Elizaveta isn't a great model, and it made sense for her to be the one eliminated, but to blame your craptastic failure clothes on her? On the runway, she even defended you. Even if you had that disaster on Iman it would have been awful. Did you really not see the 14 other people you were locked in a room with for hours and hours using muslin? Did you really believe that "industry party" meant "country farm potato party?" Even so, did you really think someone would want to wear that to a country farm potato party? Then you cry and feel sorry for yourself. It makes me miss the days of Santino, where if he had made a pile of shit, at least he'd defend it with passion and vigor and take on the responsibility.
