P. Runway recap: Part 2
Model mayhem
The designers spent another night in Safeville. Their challenge (if you want to call it that) was to make cocktail dresses for their models. Yawn.
The producers tried to throw in a few curveballs by forcing the models to shop for the fabric, which had to be environmentally friendly. More yawning.
What's with "Project Runway" trying to make it look like the models have substance? I thought they were just supposed to be silent mannequins who stand on the runway in the same black dress before each challenge so the designers can pick them out like they're boxes of Raisin Bran in the cereal isle.
I'm smiling, but I'm actually very sleepy.
Producers tried to throw in another surprise by taking away immunity and telling the designers that the winner's outfit would be sold on (take a wild guess) Bluefly.com. After a great deal of complaining about their inept models, it was time to get to "make it work."
Boring. Boring. Boring.
Tim Gunn said "Hot Mess." It made me miss Christian so much. At least there's my boy Suede who talks in third person. What a diva. I love it.
Boring. Boring. Boring.
Leather fiend Stella whined and got into a pseudo scuffle with beach bum Blayne. (I wished the tan man would have gotten the smackdown.)
Boring. Boring. Boring.
There's going to be a super-special guest judge. Why bother? None of the dresses were able to keep my eyes from getting droopy. Most were short, shiny and trashy. Some were downright hideous.
To my delight, the guest ended up being the posh and polished Natalie Portman. She single-handedly rescued the episode and me from my boredom coma.
Suede made me proud by winning the challenge. Preppy Wesley and his silly boy shorts got cut from the team.
Remnants of nonsense
Throughout the episode, it seemed like people were trying to make their own catchphrases a la "tranny mess." Note to designers: Don't force it. You sound silly. Here are some random quotes from last night's episode. Enjoy.
"Darthlicious."
"I'm a bisexual Sagittarius who likes long walks on the beach."
"Stoked."
"Gnarley"
"Dandelion!"
"Biker street chic."
"Remnants of nonsense."

Shouldn't be "Suede is a bisexual Sagittarius wh olikes long walks on the beach."
Also, Leanne has kind of annoying pretentious way about her art. And for the love of Pete Sampras, why must you call them garments?
