Models of the Runway
Whoever was the genius who decided to pair 'Project Runway' with 'Models of the Runway' deserves a special Emmy Award. The designers are all huge personalities but they have nothing on the models chosen to show off their creations. Like high strung thoroughbreds, these 'coat hangers of fashion' can be as nasty as they wanna be. I think this show has forever cured any sympathy of pity I feel for these radish eating stick figures. No wonder nearly all of the top supermodels are batshit crazy. Look at the snake pit of an environment you have to work in - all the while having to resist that luscious chocolate eclair in the window of the pastry shop. Hell, I get one less piece of bacon than everyone else and I am ready to commit murder. So we have half starved, pretty girls who are jealous and fearful and feeling entitled. Sounds to me like the perfect setting for conflict and entertainment. And so it is. The way that some of the girls are willing to stab their fellow models in the back just to be chosen by a particular designer is so cold blooded that I can only imagine what it would be like to date one of them. I used to think that models and athletes and actors got together because they ran in the same circles and lived the same lifestyle but its more than that. They are the same kind of driven people who basically have to shut off their human decency to be successful in their chosen professions. Anyone who has ever made it must have a pile of bodies left in their wake of the unsuccessful. Plus why not have the nasty people be together? Why make three people miserable?
