It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me… (and let’s face it, probably any one who doesn’t but knows I have a shop where I make “stuff”) …that I love Project Runway. Love. So I was super excited when that started their new season with the ALL STARS!! And here, my lovely fashion forward friends, is my person recap of the first episode. Yay!
*Preview for Dance Moms. I’m a dancer/dance insructor and couldn’t force myself to
sit through one episode. Really. Not one. I’m not even going to go there.
*Mondo!! Omg go watch his season if you haven’t. He’s a genius. If you want to argue, feel free. I can’t hear you. Love how he mixes prints.
*Michael Costello was hugely underrated his season. But not competition for Mondo.
*Mila? Hu?
*Anthony! Love him! Work it girl!
*k I love Jerrell too. You take that tiara honey.
*This season is shaping up to be a fight already…cause I pretty much adore everyone.
*Not Elisa. That quickly made it easier.
*Any other theater geeks notice that her intro music sounds like Sweet Charity?
*Austin Scarlett IS a star. Cause we (okay, I…) will watch him on any show and love it.
* “Sometimes I can come across as really stuck up, snobby, and just rude. But screw everybody else.” You are such a sweetheart Kenley. Deep down. Maybe I’m a hater but I hate her.
*RAMI RAMI RAMI RAMI! If you’re not familiar with his stuff…go outside and talk to people. Brilliant drapery and fit. Gah!
*Right now I’m seeing Rami and Mondo in the final 3.
*Gordana is an All Star?
*And Sweet Pea?
*Please bless Wendy doesn’t show up.
*Wait, no Heidi?!? For serious? Yeah okay I see the point of switching up the judges…but…huh.
*Ooo, April Johnson. She’s a good one too. Very goth rock chic.
*No immunity. Woah.
*Who is this Kara woman with the accent?
*Kenley, seriously girl, let the 50’s thing go. Evolve. Grow. Get a good make-up remover.
*For some reason when I think of Isaac Mizrahi I find myself thinking of a Target clothing line or something. I hope he brings a more refined eye than I am currently expecting.
*Starting with a fashion show? Love it right away.
*Elisa has the kind of genius that I know someone somewhere appreciates. It’s just really not me. At all.
*k folks, let’s see these looks.
*Jerrel: That’s way more resort evening party on a cruise than I expected of you. Disappointed but I don’t hate it.
*Mila: I;m sorry someone cut your dress in half and you had to make the other side in another fabric. That must have been almost as hard for you as it was for me to watch it go down the runway.
*Kenley, if you’re a freak about fit and construction, why does your dress fit your model so poorly? Joan Rivers would crucify any celebrity caught dead wearing that on the fashion police. You know it’s true.
*We’re born naked to embellish ourselves? I love you Austin. I do. That’s not why we’re born though.
*Aaaaaaand Elisa’s butterfly dress does not disappoint. Fly away little model, use those wings and fly!
*Elisa, you design organically?...isn’t that the whole point of creating something in the first place? That we created it? Ergo it is inherently organic of ourselves? Yeah I’m not going to think about that too hard.
*Rami’s is amazing, of course.
*Gordana’s isn’t so bad if you take away the bright red shoulder pads. *April brought something ready to wear. Which I would ps. It is very cool. I hope they don’t hold its simplicity against her.
*Anthony, yours looks like Austin’s, but shorter and green. And a little more tacky. No no no honey.
*Michael: meh. Except that your model made you question your sexuality. That’s kind of a big deal.
*MONDO! I LOVE THE FASCINATOR! I bet you’re all shocked.
*Kenley, welcome to 2012 dear. Can you bring a little modern into the shake shack?
*Valentino. Legit. Woah. I’d probably be in tears too.
* ”Ya’ll I’m from the projects, I thought you all was shooting.” Ah Anthony. So funny.
* UNCONVENTIONAL CHALLENGE! This really is genius challenge because it forces designers to think outside their little world.
* I love the .99 store. I would have rocked this challenge. Except for the sewing and making the dress part.
*No Sweet Pea! I see disaster on the horizon.
* I bet Mondo practiced at home on unconventional materials. I totally would have. And I predict an amazing dress.
*NO TIM GUNN?!? Awww. Sadness.
*Dear Elisa. Ew. Stop spitting on your fabric to give it blessings. Ew.
*Looks like it’s going to be Sweet Pea. That dress is a towel.
*What’s with the twisty wire sleeve Gordana?
* “It’s a piñata. I hope her model is full of candy.” So does the model Mondo.
* Ouch, poor Austin.
* Poor Austin’s head scarf.
*Austin is a champ. He’ll recover.
*And he does! I called it.
*Hate the hip extensions Austin.
*No.
*Yes! Love that Jerrell.
*Bahahahaha!! The butterfly dress take 2.
* Wow, Rami. I’m am calling Rami for the win today.
* No Sweet Pea!!
* YES MONDO!!! Wow the detail is unreal. And the fascinator!!
* Ha. Kenley’s .99 dress made with a shower mat was better than her real one.
* Anthony’s looks like he is designing for Jersey Shore.
* Gah! Mila! What is she wearing?!?
* The two mop dresses are not too alike. I wonder if they will mention it. I like both of them.
* Rami, Jarrell, & Mondo: highest. Elisa, Sweet Pea and Gordana: Lowest.
* I am right and I agree. Ha.
* This story Elisa is telling is hilarious. “A full story…360…from 180…and it is 2 stories…on a sleeve…” Bahaha.
* Yes Rami’s dress looks similar to the first one…wasn’t that the challenge?
* Well I guess they liked the twist wire sleeves. That is why art is subjective.
* Whew. They agree with me about Elisa. My fashion sense isn’t completely lost.
*Elisa needs to go. Please Elisa.
*Please Elisa.
* Elisa.
* Elisa?
* Rami wins!! Yay!! Well deserved.
* Um, cut Elisa please now.
* Yes. Good choice. Bye bye butterfly.
