Crimson, get your Gunn

I'm so glad Project Runway is back! I think I'd been having Tim Gunn withdrawls, but all is right with the world now. Here's what I think of the candidates so far ...

  • Alison — She has very classic design tastes. I really like her style, and I'm interested to see how the show works out for her.
  • Angela — I'm not really sure what I think of her yet. I don't hate her, but nothing's coming to mind just now.
  • Bradley — I don't think I have a feel for him just yet, either.
  • Bonnie — I really like Bonnie. I'm excited for more of her work.
  • Jeffrey — "Neck Boy" is what my dad called him last night while watching the show. I'm mostly a fan, but he needs to get rid of the high-and-mighty 'tude.
  • Katherine — I really love her. I think I'll be rooting for both her and Robert.
  • Kayne — I like him as well. I love that he has a vendetta against all wire hangers. I really liked his dress for the first episode. I can't wait to see more.
  • Keith — Mr. I've Never Done Women's Wear is a bit too cocky for me. I did not want him to win, as he only used bedsheets. That's cheating in my mind. Be brave and go for unconventional materials! (Ok, I forgot about the duvet buttons, but still.)
  • Laura — I like her sass, but her comment about Ohio was really weird. What do people do in Ohio? Same thing they do everywhere else. But I loved her work with the furry rug and chandelier.
  • Malan — Jesusmaryandjoseph. I just want to kick him in the face when he laughs in that Austin Powers way. Ugh. "I prefer working with higher quality fabrics." Give me a break! That's part of the challenge, Mr. I'm From Everywhere I Was Born In Taiwan.
  • Michael — I liked his innovation with the coffee filters. And I like that he's sort of in the hip-hop genre, which hasn't been represented on the show in past seasons. I'm excited to see what his coming designs are.
  • Robert — I think he's going to be my favorite. He's a little nerdy, and he designs clothes for Barbie. I thought he should have won this first challenge.
  • Stacey — She deserved the auf. I'm glad that she tried the show, but having only two years of experience with design, I think think she could use a little more experience.
  • Uli — I really want to love her, especially since she's German, but her design was a little underwhelming. In fact, it reminded me of Stacey's, except a little less I Can See How You Covered Your Cooch.
  • Vincent — Ah, the basket hat. I actually don't mind him. I think it was a little rash to cash out his 401K in hopes of reviving his name in fashion, but he's entertaining nonetheless.


So, Bonnie, Katherine, Kayne and Robert. Those are my favorites.




MD KAL I also managed to finish one of my warshrags (that's the ballband dishcloth from Mason-Dixon Knitting), as you can see. I finished it while watching PR. I cast on for a coordinating one in the opposite colors. So far, so good!
