From whackdoodle to Yankee Doodle
The moment I saw his cast bio, I knew Suede would be my new fav. When the word "whackdoodle" came out of his mouth, I was sold. I have a special place in my little black heart for his blue mohawk and Perez Hilton-esque looks. The outfit he created was a disaster and his styling was even worse, but it was enough to keep in made in the Suede. (I couldn't help myself.)
The moment I saw season one contestant Austin Scarlett's outfit, I busted out laughing. Can you say Yankee Doodle dandy? Actually, I was just jealous that he looked prettier than I do.
The moment I saw orange urban wannabe Blayne, I knew we'd have a problem. "Girlicious" is not going to happen. Ever. Give it up immediately if not sooner.

Gunnz blazin'
Right before poppin' the bubbly (life is lovely), Tim Gunn diplomatically called the 16 hopefuls "the most diverse group" they've ever had on the show. Complement? Veiled diss? True assessment? All of the above? From trashy edgy rock 'n' roll types to those who've worked with Marc Jacobs, the gang seems to be a tranny mess of the possibly talented. I found myself wondering if it takes the guys or girls longer to get ready in the morning. Joe seems to be the token straight guy. The new Daniel seems just a cute and talented as my former fav Daniel V.

Tablecloth terrors
After the designers searched a New York City grocery store to get materials for their first challenge, it became evident how lazy they are. Instead of being creative, half of them used tablecloths. Lame. Gunn called them all "slackers." The new Daniel represented by making a dress out of plastic cups. Here I thought those were only good for beer. Kelli ended up winning the challenge with her dyed-dryer-sheet-and-coffee-filter dress. Hot. Jerry got auf'd for his fugly raincoat contraption. I guess he was trying to bring rubber gloves back, but it only brough back my gag reflex.

Ain't nothing but a G thang
Overall the episode was okay. I loved the promos for the rest of the season. It looks like Gunn is going straight gangsta. "Holla at ya boy," he said. I most certainly will.
Check back next week for another "P. Runway" recap.
