TV Times - Project Runway


I adored Project Runway last night. They had husbands working with the designers to make a dress for their wives. It was fun to see who the women were who married these goofy guys and often their reasons for helping to design a dress for their wives was very touching.

I love design shows that give me insight into the process of creation the motivation. The effort and the results. Add a dash of heart and I will be clapping at my desk every time.

Tim Gunn - All class.

Burt - An adult

Designer Oliver - numnut - had no idea what DD meant in relation to women's cup sizes (we all know it means YIPPEEEE!) and he makes woman's clothing. He finds designing around the boob is inconvenient to the look of his garment. Apparently he only wants Taiwanese lady boys to wear his stuff. I want to smack him but I fear he has a mental deficiency.

You could understand why fashion brings so many people so much joy. A person just moves, acts, and talks differently when they know they look good. The designers that made clothing for their clients without letting their egos get in the way were the most successful. A happy client is a return client. The quicker you tune into them, the happier you will be. It must feel great to have a smiling person wearing something that you made. Certainly feels better than the ennui that Oliver produced. He needed to go home for being a whiner.

And I say that while LOVING the final outfit he designed. He is just infuriating for an tree lemur with ADDDD like myself. His mind works way way way too slowly.

WAKE UP OLIVER! - Grow a pair, drape a boob.

I end up watching that show when my mom is around. She loves it. Weird how it can suck you in.

It's so anti-Kardashian for a reality show. The designers have to produce something and the critics have to justify their critiques and do so with KNOWLEDGE and CREDIBILITY.

Timm Gunn is a GREAT teacher and cheerleader. The right mix of honesty and support - both essential qualities for a mentor. Timm's the man. He's the one. We just live in his Matrix.

I've watched a couple of seasons of Project Runway and liked it a lot. I love it when they go to a thrift store and have to use the clothes they buy there to design something else. I like watching people create something too. I love the guy who checks in on them, I guess that is Gunn. He is kind but honest.

I think Joshua is a meanie.
