My Project Runway Quandry

Project Runway Gives Tim Gunn a Headache

Dearest BunnyNation – I need your advice.

Some of you may recall that on October 29, 2010 I vowed NEVER to mention Project Runway on this blog again. This was prompted by the ending of yet another disastrous Lifetime season of this once great show – manufactured by the despicable production team of Bunim-Murray. Gretchen Whatshername, you might remember, ended up beating the fabulous and inspiring Mondo Guerra. And she won by sending granny panties down the runway…

And no, I’m still not over it.

But, just as in seasons past, the bitter taste of Project Runway Season 8 has faded with time. And in 28 days the show will return for Season 9.

Here’s my quandary. As I’ve said before, I really want/need to get back to doing recaps. Project Runway was the first show I ever recapped – and those recaps were the first thing on my blog to get noticed/acknowledged by the rest of the blogosphere. Project Runway, literally, put DavidDust on the map - and it's the reason many of you found me.

So ... should I bite my tongue, go back on my promise and recap this season anyway?? I don’t care so much about the vow never to mention the show again – in fact, I’m breaking that vow right now (with this post). And, let’s face it, I vow every day not to stuff my face full of fast food and carbs – and promptly break THAT sucker every day at about 12:30 pm. So the whole “vow” thing isn’t that big of a deal (NOTE TO SELF: Don't ever get gaymarried).

I just hate the fact that this season will undoubtedly be another stinker – and Bunim-Murray will screw it up, as they have every season since the show moved to Lifetime. I’m feeling a little bit like one of those sad Babymamas on Maury – no matter how badly she/I/we get treated by the NO GOOD BABYDADDY (AKA Lifetime), we keep coming back for more. And each time she/I/we return, we convince ourselves that this time it will be different.

It won't be different this time, but I want to do the right thing by my DustBunnies. Should I recap this damned trainwreck ... or not?

.

Last Night On Project Runway - R.I.P.

THIS (below) is apparently 'what's happening in fashion' right now. I just can't ...

Project Runway has been killed by Lifetime and Bunim-Murray, and this post will be the show's final mention on DavidDust. Ever.

In closing - a comment from Twitter:

"Nina: While you put Gretchen in Marie Claire, Anna Wintour will have Mondo in Vogue."

BURN.

Tim Gunn - CENSORED???

Every week Tim Gunn records a Facebook video with the behind-the-scenes dirt from the most recent episode of Project Runway. And, as we all know, Grandpa Gunn likes to tell it like it T-I-IS.  Apparently this week was no exception - here is a brief recap of his latest video from our good friends at Blogging Project Runway ...

The behind the scenes story on the production of "A Rough Day On The Runway" is far more entertaining than what we saw Thursday night. Something seemed amiss about this challenge and the way the judges acted on the runway and now we know why. It was simply flat out incompetence by Bunim-Murray (the producers of the show). A few bullet points:

• The challenge started out as a period piece costume that was going to be worn by Katie Holmes, but the designers would not be told!

• After the Katie Holmes/Jackie O angle went away, it became a dancewear challenge and Tim showed up on shooting day at the assigned studio, but no one was there. He had to find the shooting location on his own.

• Tim: "The whole notion that we would even associate Jackie Kennedy with American sportswear is a stretch."

• Tim stepped into the judging circle to clarify what the designers had been told the challenge was since it was clear they had a different idea.

After reading all that, I was DYING to see the video - since it seemed to explain why this past episode was such a hot mess. But guess what - the video has been removed from Facebook. Could it be that the Bunim-Murray people didn't appreciate Tim's honesty???

Tim has mentioned in his videos before, in passing, about the producers not telling him about locations or that he thought he was getting fired - could it be that they are trying to get rid of him? I will tell you this - if Bunim-Murray REALLY wants to sink Project Runway, all they have to do is get rid of Tim Gunn. NO ONE would watch that mess without him.

Goodness, I long for the days of Christian Siriano and Bravo ...

UPDATE: The VIDEO HAS SURFACED.

Project Runway Season 8 - Premieres on Thursday

Yes DustBunnies, the Grand Dame of reality competition shows - Project Runway - is back in NYC (thank Jeebus!) and back on Lifetime this week.  Check out the list of Season 8 contestants HERE (some of their names are ridiculous!), and here is a sneak peek of the first episode...

"Oh my God, they are SO EVIL!".

Anywhore, I will try my best to continue recapping Top Chef (Wednesday nights), as well as Project Runway (Thursday nights) - let's see how long I can keep that up before going insane.

Last Night On Project Runway - Discuss

Like I said yesterday, I won't be recapping Project Runway this week (and maybe not the rest of the season), but feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.

The only thing I would like to say is that I officially dislike Emilio ... immensely.  There is a fine line between being confident and being cocky.  Last night Emilio crossed that line, stomped on that line while calling it nasty names, and then flipped that line the bird.

Project Runway Ep. 4 Recap - "Lifetime Real Women Presents: A Very Special Project Runway"

Last week on Project Runway, Mila won the “museum inspiration” challenge.  But poor Ping was sent home to the lake.  BIG LAKE.

Before we get started, I’d just like to say something.  This week’s episode was rather somber, and the Lifetime Real Women-esque challenge makes it a little difficult for me to be snarky.  Seriously, who wants to hear jokes about ladies who had heart attacks?

It’s morning in Manhattan, and no one is surprised that Ping is gone.  Except, I’m sure, Ping herself.  She couldn’t remember to wear shoes – so elimination from Project Runway is still probably somewhat of a shock.

Over on the boy’s side, Baby Jesus talks about being really excited to start fresh and get out of the bottom [insert gay innuendo HERE].  Then I notice what has been bothering me about Jesus (besides his eyebrows) – he uses the word “really” way too much.  And, like kids do these days, he pronounces it “rilly”.  Furthermore, Jesus does that thing where he raises the pitch of his voice on the last word of every sentence – so it sounds like he’s always asking a question.

“I’m going to make it rilly, rilly ELEGANT??? I am rilly rilly excited about this CHALLENGE???”.  Sorry, but that rilly rilly annoys ME???

Anywhoo – the Fashiontestants head to the runway to receive their challenge.  Heidi reminds everyone that Mila has immunity this week, and then tells them they will be designing looks for a “Fashion Week Gala” for some “very inspiring (Lifetime Real) women”.

In the workroom, Tim Gunn is waiting – along with Lisa Walker, the “V.P. of Innovation” at Campbell’s Soup.  Question: why does Campbell’s need a V.P. of Innovation?  You put soup in a can and ship it to the grocery store – seems simple enough.

Ok, here’s when my low-budget, non-DVR-having self is at a disadvantage.  At this point Tim and Miss Innovation rattle off all kinds of information about Red Dress Awards, Heart Disease, Fashion Week, and Campbell’s Soup charity efforts.  It all seems very noble – but it was a little too much information for my feeble note-taking skills.

From what I can gather, here’s what this week’s challenge boils down to.  The designers will create a look to wear to a Fashion Week women’s heart disease gala.  They must use the color red, and also the Campbell’s logo (Warholesque fabric has been provided).  Furthermore, the “models” this week will be (Lifetime real) women who have been impacted by heart disease.  The winning designer will have the opportunity to accompany her model (sporting the winning look) to the gala.

The (Lifetime) real women models come in and meet their designers.  Jesse meets his gal Jennifer and asks “What’s your story?”.  “My heart stopped”, Jennifer replies.  Okay…  Yeah, this is gonna be a barrel of laughs.

Jay cries when he hears his model’s story (she ends up hugging and comforting him), and Anthony cries because his own mother had heart surgery.  Sniff, Cry, Sniff, Sob. I haven’t used this much Kleenex since Marky Mark was making Calvin Klein ads.

Baby Jesus’ client is named Tricia.  And Jesus is “rilly excited” because Tricia is “rilly rilly tiny” and wants a fitted dress.  Did I mention how much that rilly rilly annoys me?

They go to Mood with $100 burning a hole in their pockets and visions of red fabric in their heads.  The highlight of the Mood trip was at the end when sweet Janeane jumped up and down yelling “I have to get my boning!”.  Which I'm totally gonna try the next time I’m at a gay bar.  Or at the bank.  Or in the soup aisle of the grocery store.

Back in the workroom they have until midnight to complete their looks.  And since they aren’t using their usual skinny fashion models, now is the time when the designers talk about how “difficult” it is to create clothes for  (Lifetime) “real women”.  Seth Aaron calls this the “largest challenge” he’s ever faced as a designer.  Rilly?

The models come in for a fitting and for more hugs.  I half-expect Meredith Baxter or Jane Seymour to show up and RILLY make this a Lifetime Real Women feelgoodapalooza.  Come to think of it, does Meredith Baxter still gets cast in those “I'LL PROTECT MY FAMILY NO MATTER WHAT!” movies now that she told the world she’s a lady-loving Lez?

Seth Aaron’s model “Rose” has decided she would like a draped Grecian goddess dress.  And since Rami isn’t competing this season, Rose wants Seth Aaron to drape something for her.  Seth Aaron, who dresses like a d-bag but seems like a total sweetheart, vows to make Rose happy.

Oh goodness, here comes Baby Jesus again.  “It was RILLY RILLY rough growing up with a single MOTHER?”.  This is RILLY too much.

Tim visits the workroom.  Jesse’s model has a “full figure”, so he’s trying to slim her.  I have one word for him … Spanx.

Tim doesn’t think Seth Aaron is being true to himself by going Grecian.  And Mr. Gunn almost has his OWN heart issues when Jesus says his client wanted something “rilly fitted”, but also wanted to show cleavage.  Jesus vows that the dress will fit her “rilly good”.  O RLY?

Tim leaves, and Seth Aaron immediately starts on a new dress.  And Emilio (who seems to be the only designer willing to talk stank) says he thinks Anna should be concerned about elimination and Jay’s dress is a “train wreck”.  He also calls Maya’s dress something you might see at the “Thanksgiving Day Parade”.  Well, he has a point…

The next morning is runway day, and the designers do their normal last-minute dash.  Tim comes in to pay the bills and mention the sponsors.  Tim also remarks that if their client is wearing her  own shoes, then they should use the Bluefly.com wall for accessories.  Speaking of shoes, I hope one of the (Lifetime) real women brought along a pair of these bad boys…

Seth Aaron’s new dress is more “retro” and less “Athena on Mount Olympus”.  Jesus is “rilly happy” that his dress shapes his client “rilly well”.  And every time I see Ben on screen, I think to myself “Who’s the new guy?!?”…

Seriously – has Ben said more than two words this entire season?

On the runway, Heidi introduces the judges – Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman.  Ms. Chapman just so happens to be Mrs. Harvey Weinstein, the dude who owns the Project Runway brand.  But that had absolutely nothing to do with Georgina being a judge.  Rilly.

The (Lifetime) real women walk their looks down the runway and do a fantastic job.  At the end of the show, Heidi instructs Mila, Maya, Anna, Amy, Jesse and Jesus to remain onstage.  The rest are safe.

The judges likee Mila – who incorporated the Campbell’s logo in an innovative way.  They also likee Amy’s “elegant and modern” dress.  And, for some reason, they likee Maya’s dress, although it looked to me like she pinned a Miss America sash (or a snake) to the front of it at the last minute...

The judges no likee Jesse’s dress – although Nina liked the neckline and both she and Heidi agreed that his (Lifetime) real woman has a great rack.  They also no likee Anna’s dress, which made her model look like a defensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers on top.  This, I’m assuming, is not a look in which most (Lifetime) real women aspire to.

And, finally, in the irony of all ironies, HEIDI “Short, Shiny & Tight” KLUM questioned Jesus’ TASTE LEVEL!  I was rilly rilly surprised (OK, not rilly).  Michael Kors stated that Jesus took a Tacky Checklist, and checked off each thing one-by-one.  Tight red satin?  Check.  Crystal day-shift hooker straps?  Check.  Up-to-the-cootchie length?  Check.  And poor Baby Jesus thought he had created something “elegant” and “glamorous”.

Time for the results.  Maya and Mila are safe – and Amy is the winner…

Jesse is also safe – leaving Anna and her “poorly made” and “unflattering” garment, and Jesus and his “Ode to the Ho Stroll”.

And … the poor Baby Jesus is sent home.  Rilly.

Next week on Project Runway – CLOWN CLOTHES!!!

Project Runway - Tonight!

Don't forget to watch Project Runway tonight on Lifetime - and look for my recap sometime tomorrow afternoon.  Tonight's "red" challenge will deal with women who have been affected by heart disease ... how I'm supposed to write a funny recap about THAT is anyone's guess.

Here is a preview...

Stay Tuned ...

I had a busy day at work, so my Project Runway recap will be posted later this evening.

>P,B!

Project Runway - Tonight on Lifetime!

The wait is finally over ... Project Runway Season 7 premieres tonight on Lifetime at 10 pm.  I cannot wait.

For those of you who have my contact information, I BEG of you - please don't call or text me during the show.  Remember, I am DVR-less, so I must take notes for my recap in real time.  Even a text message can distract me enought to miss a Michael Kors "That crotch is INSANE!", or a Nina Garcia evil side-eye!  Besides, the first episode is always the hardest to recap, because we aren't yet familiar with the new fashiontestants.

I will also not be on Twatter  Twitter during the show.  Speaking of Twitter, are you FOLLOWING ME?

Look for my recap sometime tomorrow.  I have real-life work obligations and meetings throughout the day - so my recap could come quite late.  And when I do finally post it, I expect all of you to tell me how fabulously witty I am - even if it's not true.  I'm shallow (and needy) - I embrace it.  Remember - flattery (even disingenuous) will get you EVERYWHERE.

Time to "Make It Work", Biatches!!!!!

Project Runway - THIS WEEK!

Is anyone else counting down the hours until Project Runway Season 7 premieres on Lifetime (Thursday at 10:00 pm)?  After the debacle that was Season 6, I am really looking forward to a fresh start.

Some of our friends HAVE ALREADY SEEN the first episode (lucky Biatches!) - and they have good things to say...

Blogging Project Runway says:

"We are back in New York, back at The Atlas and back at Parsons. Everything feels like the show that we love. We have the rooftop champagne toast, Heidi is pregnant, Tim is in a suit and all is right with the world."

And Tom & Lorenzo report:

"We really love the designers so far. All of them, believe it or not. It feels a bit like Season 1 in that they're all loaded with personality and don't seem to care that there are cameras on them. Plus, there's some major talent on display and unlike the last season, each designer has a very distinct point of view."

More from TLo...

"A new World Record for PR was set. Not only did someone burst into tears in the first THIRTY SECONDS of the show, but this someone also managed to cry TWO MORE TIMES over the next hour."

So far, it sounds DELICIOUS.  Visit Blogging Project Runway, Tom & Lorenzo, and MyLifetime to get to know the new fashiontestants and for PR news and updates.  And look for my first recap on Friday afternoon.

Project Runway - Tonight!

Yes Minions, it's Thursday - and that means there's a new episode of Project Runway on Lifetime tonight. We're down to the final nine Fashiontestants...

Check out a preview video HERE. And YES, tonight will involve former brides and their dreaded wedding dresses...

Let's just hope we don't see another "French Maid at a Funeral"...

Also, check out Project Runway prognosticator Alan Gratz's precap for tonight's episode HERE. Last week Alan thought cute Logan might be going home - but Logan ended up being safe. Gratz explains what happened - it was the Shiny Pants again...


Never underestimate the power of the Shiny Pants...

Don't Forget Project Runway - Tonight

Is Logan winking at me - or did someone squirt him in the eye?

Anywhore, make sure you check out Alan Gratz's PRECAP (thanks for that term, Ginger!) of tonight's Project Runway - complete with predictions of who might be going home. And for a preview of tonight's "Hollywood" episode, go HERE.

My recap will probably a little later than usual tomorrow - I have work stuff to take care of in the morning/early afternoon. Look for it to be posted by late afternoon/early evening.

Project Runway Tonight - Ink-Stained Wretches

What is this huge "Unbelievable Challenge" Lifetime is promoting for tonight's Project Runway? The Fashiontestants will be making dresses out of recycled newspapers ... not exactly earth-shattering, is it?!?

Please check out predictions of what might happen tonight over at Gratz Industries. Alan Gratz analyzes the preview videos to try and determine the outcome of each show - and he is pretty damn accurate! It is always an interesting pre-show read.

Project Runway Episode Two

Sorry gang, I won't be writing a recap for Episode Two - I'm still trying to get my apartment (and my liver) prepared for the arrival of Maddie and Ginger.

But I did watch the show, and I must say I wasn't sad to see Malvin go. Yes, he seemed sweet - but he also seemed a little on the pretentious side. Especially when he said things like they haven't "invented the vocabulary" to describe his designs. Mary, puh-lease.

Thoughts about last night's show?!? Feel free to discuss in the comments.

Oh, and I was TOTALLY digging the "I'm up for an ARBY'S commercial!" storyline on Models of the Runway. Lucky Biatch!

Project Runway Episode One - "Making It Work, At Long Last"

All right biatches – it finally happened. After waiting way too long, we were all able to watch a new episode of Project Runway on Thursday night – and it did not disappoint.

All the worries about moving the show to Los Angeles and to Lifetime seemed to be unfounded after watching last night’s episode. The music was still the same. The clock on the wall is still the same. And Michael Kors is still orange. God Bless America.


We begin the show as we always do – with the arrivals of the 16 Fashiontestants. First to arrive is Ra’mon. Ra’mon says he went to school to become a Neurosurgeon before dropping out to become a fa’shion designer. Which is pu’zzling to me. But then again, I am somewhat stu’pid.

Logan enters the residence and immediately states that he’s a “Guy’s Guy”. You know, you can’t turn on a good fashion competition reality show anymore without the straights throwing their sexuality in our faces. It’s what wrong with this country today. Besides, I don’t want my kids exposed to that kind of behavior. Boys dating girls! It’s unnatural!!

We also meet Johnny. I’m going to say this right now – sorry people, but I think he is adorable. And when he mentions that he tried out for Project Runway before but didn’t make it because of a Crystal Meth addiction, I KNEW that Johnny is the cute hot mess of my dreams. Seriously, give me a little bit of pudge, throw in some puppy dog eyes, and stir it up with a horrible drug dependency – and Voila! – the man of my dreams. Call me anytime Johnny … COLLECT if necessary.


We meet Gordana – who looks (and sounds) like Uli’s (Season 3) hard-living older sister.


Malvin (not Melvin – this is the season of quirky spelling) has Adam Ant-like hair…


…but will he show Adam Ant-like flair?…


Then there’s “Qristyl with a Q” (I told you the names were weird this season). The clothing she designs for bigger gals is called “Plus Sexy” not “Plus Size”. However, she may be spelling “Plus Sexy” with nothing but vowels. With a name like Qristyl, you never know. But least she doesn’t spell it Q’ristyl.

We also are introduced to Nicolas. Nicolas says he is known in New York as the “Feather Prince”. Biatch, please! There is only one homosexual in New York City who is the Feather Prince – Christian Siriano…


Christian walked a CHICKEN GOWN down the runway at Bryant Park and the place went crazy. Nicolas needs to shut his beak immediately.

Oh, and BTW – did you notice that Nicolas name-checked a designer from The Fashion NO Show - Keith Lissner? Yeah, that’s not a collaboration I’d be bragging about. Even Kelly Rowland has taken The Fashion NO off her resume.

Anywhore, the designers receive notes telling them to proceed to the roof for cocktails with Heidi and Tim.

Heidi looks gorgeous – and she’s wearing her traditional “just above the cootchie”-length dress. And Tim Gunn is … quite frankly, the most fa’bulous person on television. Period (with a P).

The Fashiontestants are welcomed, Champagne is consumed, and we are introduced to more of the designers. Louise “I like vintage” Black looks like Kenley’s (Season 5) hard-living older sister. Christopher “I didn’t go to fashion school” Straub looks like a cute gay Amish boy. And wait a second … is Johnny drinking Champagne??

Which of the twelve steps is “Drink Champagne on the Roof”? Seriously, Johnny and I were DESTINED for each other. Tim tells the designers to get a good night’s rest, because they will find out about their challenge early the next morning.

The next day, Tim and the Fashiontestants meet on the Red Carpet at the Nokia Theater – where the Emmy’s will be held later that evening. Tim explains that for their first challenge, the designers must create an innovated red carpet look that shows their point of view as a designer.

They head back to the L.A. version of the Parson’s workroom – where they have 30 minutes to sketch. Malvin admits that he “doesn’t watch red carpets” – and doesn’t think that red carpets are any better than beige carpets or Persian rugs. Malvin believes in carpet equality. And Ari Fish (who is a girl – even though her name sounds like your father’s attorney) doesn’t sketch – so she meditates while doing a handstand. I’m going to try that the next time my boss asks me for a sales report.

And then it’s off to Mood L.A., where they have 30 minutes and $200. Ari is looking for fabric that will help her create a “bulbous” red-carpet gown. Wait, I think I know who Ari has in mind…


Lady Caca!

The 30 minutes at Mood is winding down, and we hear Qristyl screaming that there aren’t enough people cutting fabric. She runs around the corner, carrying scissors so she can cut her own fabric. Didn’t Qristyl’s mother Qathy (actually, it’s “Qatherine”) teach her never to run with scissors?!?

Back at the workroom, designers begin constructing their garments, and Johnny begins having a nervous breakdown. Swoon! Johnny starts second-guessing his original plan, and finally he must leave the workroom and sit down in the lounge. He explains that because of his addiction background, when he gets stressed he needs support. Oh yeah, sign me up, I’ve been on this cruise before …

But if there is one person who could handle this sitch better than me, it’s Tim Gunn. Tim swoops in with soothing words and hugs. Johnny, who is now crying, is thinking about leaving. Tim is having none of it, and talks Johnny down off his ledge with three magic words: “Make It Work”. That’s all Johnny needed – and he goes back to creating his garment.

Seriously biatches, Tim Gunn is magical. We need to put Tim in a room with House and Senate Democrats. “Healthcare reform?… MAKE IT WORK! Marriage equality? … MAKE IT WORK!”. When Tim Gunn says “Make it work”, bitches gotta make it work. Forealz.

OK – at this point I have a notation I have in my notebook that doesn’t really flow with the story, but I had to share. It says:

“Ari – wonk-eyed & really weird”…


Truth, people. I'm not so much a Recapper as I am a Truth-Teller …

Day One ends, and Day Two begins back in the workroom. Young Mitchell - who went to fashion school but now works in “the business side of fashion (AKA “Retail Queen”) – tells Amish Christopher that he is “smocking” his dress. Self-taught Christopher isn’t quite sure what “smocking” is, but he’s pretty sure he tried it once with his best friend when they were drunk. And he’s almost positive it didn’t have anything to do with a dress.

It’s time for Tim to visit. Unlike a certain fashion designer-slash-TV host (rhymes with "Misack Lizrahi"), Tim actually doles out words of encouragement and advice – not bitchy comments. But even Tim is having a hard time finding anything nice to say about Ari’s design. Unless “Halter Diaper” is a compliment. Maybe he meant to say "HALSTON Diaper".

Tim continues his visits. Ra’mon wants to give his model a “big butt” (Ra'mon l'ikes big butts and he cannot l'ie) Mitchell’s garment is all smocked and shit, and the front of Qristyl’s dress look like Charo exploded on it.

Time for a model fitting. Unfortunately all of Mitchell’s smocking was in vain – because the measurements he was given for his model were WAY off. Basically, he has a lovely collar. Which would be fine if this was the Chippendale’s challenge…


… but it’s not, so Mitchell is kinda screwed.

It’s now runway day, and the Fashiontestants have 2 hours to get their models into their garments, down to hair and makeup, and onto the runway. Mitchell has some pantyhose-like fabric left – which he attaches to his fancy smocked collar and throws on his nude model. Prediction: Nina will simply ADORE it.

Everyone heads to the runway, where Heidi greets them and announces the judges. We have Michael Kors, Nina Garcia (who is now with Marie Claire), and this week’s special guest judge – Lindsay Lohan!

Sweet Mother of Liza Minelli, how did they get LiLo’s nose off a mirror long enough to tape this episode?!? And she actually looks decent and sounds sober! WTF?? Heidi announces Lindsay as an “actress, singer, and designer of her own LINE”. Heidi should have said, “consumer of multiple lines”. Drug jokes!!

Models walk. Nina throws the side eye. Queens cry when their looks walk down the runway. The usual.

Everyone is called back out onto the runway. The “safe” designers head backstage, leaving Qristyl, Johnny, Mitchell, Ra’mon, Christopher, and Ari.

The judges no likee: Qristyl (btw – I am SO tired of looking up her name every time I have to spell it), Mitchell’s collar/nightgown/smock, and Ari’s "Ode to WTF".

They likee: Christopher, Ra’mon, and JOHNNY. See – Tim told Johnny to make it work, and he listened. Magic. Forealz.

Judges discuss with the designers. The highlight of this was when Ari said she was designing for an everyday gal who would be attending the Video Music Awards, and then swinging by to pick up her Nobel Peace Prize. Not only is Ari weird, she is also high as a kite. Michael Kors calls the outfit a “Disco Soccer Ball”.

Besides Qristyl’s dress of mess, the other garment the judges hate is Mitchell’s. Probably because it’s just a collar and some pantyhose with a skinny girl underneath. SO last season …

Time for the results…

Johnny is safe and so is Ra’mon. Amish Christopher is the winner…


Qristyl is safe – so it’s down to Mitchell and Ari. And poor, wacky, stoned Ari Fish is sent home without a VMA or a Nobel Peace Prize.


But Ari’s garment does rate right up there with my all-time favorite ProjRun Episode One losing outfit…

Next week, Nina says “She is a mess!”. Wait, is Lindsey Lohan going to be on Episode TWO also?
