Fashion and TV

I was introduced to Project Runway a few seasons ago, and I am hooked.  I watch it and am left with a sense that I can sew anything after I watch it. Completely not true. I am surprised when Marc can find a needle and thread. I can sew a great straight seam and was taught to use a sewing machine by my husband. I hope that Manogue is offering Home Economics now.

Here are my thoughts as I have pondered as I have watched the show:

Terri:  Lay off the pants. At first I was such a fan, but as a short wider person, I could never wear your pants anyway.  Can you sew a skirt? Finally when you did, you were kicked off. Maybe pants is the safe bet?

Jerrell: How can anyone not love you? I thought you were very innovative on the Saturn challenge. You used things that totally did not look like car parts. Awesome.  Really, you are very creative. The win for the Elle shoot was fantastic. You deserved to win.

Kenley: efor you, I have never liked you. Never. Not for a second. I never thought you deserved to win any challenge. I am completely annoyed by you and think everything about you evolves around 1950 or 60s and your hair that goes with it. Ugh. Yuck. You have done nothing else.  Mostly, you are self centered and annoying. Get over yourself. I would never wear anything that you have made.

Leanne:  Man, you can really tailor a garment. I am really surprised and impressed with the detail that you put into everything. The tailoring is unbelievable. Seriously. Perfect. A little marmie, but always looks impeccable.

Suede: Morgan hates third person. Come on!  You are fun, creative, and I know that you are Suede.  You remind me of Zach Taylor from Saved By the Bell with blue hair. Nothing about you Morgan really hates or likes. I kinda liked the dress from this week - without the jacket. A cute pair of light, flowy pants under the dress would have been super cute.

Korto:  Super cute and cool. Mostly cool.  You have such a smooth vibe about everything. Your fashion reflects a comfortable, easy look that we all strive for. I really think that you are my choice as an overall winner. Congrats! I have not disliked anything you have done.

Blayne: I never thought I would see you again after the first episode.  No, really. You are so far out there, I know that the sun must have an affect on your brain. Fun, creative - but just too out there sloppy and overall not committed.  This is exactly what sent you home last week.

Joe: Ugh. I am over the straight sports look that you pull with everything. You are too safe and straight. Are you sure that you're not gay? It might help. Most of what you made was not done well.

Stella.  "LEATHA."  No, I LOVE "LEATHA."  I am taken with your innocent biker strength. Something is very appealing about your leather work. I don't think you over work your style as much as Kenley. I was sorry to see you go.

I think this includes everyone that is still on....I am still cheering for Korto and Leanne. And now after two wins, Jerrell has sure stepped up the competition. Please have mercy on me and send Kenly home next week. I can't take it anymore.
