Looks like Live Journal is down for the count at the moment. Guess we’ll have to make our own fun sitting close to the fireplace telling ghost stories and making shadow puppets.
Instead, let’s talk Project Runway.
I was pretty cranky after last season. Any of the designers who showed promise were kicked off the show in a series of arbitrary judgments that resulted in a mediocre Bryant Park collection. So, Heidi and the gang had to redeem themselves. Tim NEVER has to redeem himself.
The judges did not fail me. It helped this season that two of the best designers I’ve ever seen in the seven seasons of the show took to the studio, Both Emilio and Seth Aaron know the tricks of the trade. They bring actual clothing making skills to the work room. Emilio is innovative, confident (bordering on egotistical?) and clear about his vision. Seth Aaron also has a clear idea of what he’s about. The man is the fastest tailor I’ve ever seen.
There is a contest next week for whose should be the third collection. Not to slight the two designers in contention, but I just don’t care. Neither of them are in Emilio’s or Seth Aaron’s league. That’s where the contest will be this time, and I can honestly say that I will be happy if either of them wins.
Good job, Project Runway. You get my Nielsen’s for at least one more season.
