PROJECT RUNWAY's newest season

Let's just begin with this:

Is that a "unibang"? Or would it just be called a "bang"? Would "bangs" also be correct because it refers to the multiple locks of hair that are greased together?

But in all seriousness:

Lots of talent this season. Also lots of crazies. Looking forward to seeing the meltdowns and the miracles!

I'm glad they kept the Japanese guy. I feel like I need another couple of episodes to sort out what's going on there.

---

I agree with the judges as to Cooan (the japanese guy). Let's see if he can get a little more serious.

---

I'm liking the the guy Ven (is that his name) and the guy that won.

I have yet to like a single one of the Christian Siriano wannabes that have been featured in every season since his. Christian was the only one who actually had the talent to back up his personality and ego. The others, including this season's Gunnar, are big on the go and "personality" but have all fallen short on the talent, which just makes them insufferable.

I always find it hard to pick a favorite this early on, but I did like the girl who was in the top three. But once again the disconnect between the judges' comments and the actual winners continues to mystify me. They all seemed to love both her designs and had no real negatives at all, and yet the winner one on the strength of his pre-made design, even though the dress that was actually part of the challenge had a lot of fit and construction issues and they all wished it hadn't been done in black. I guess it just shows just how much power the producers actually have over the limited amount the judges have.

Buffi looks like Sporty Spice and sounds like Scary Spice. I love her.

But you're right -- Gunner is obnoxious. And I am seriously the only one weirded out by the unibang?

---

I need to start reading her blog again. She's such a bitch but it's interesting at times.

Last week was the first time I felt sorry for Mila. Ever.

See, I totally disagree that Kenley's dress was wrong for the Emmy red carpet.

1) It's the Emmys, not the Oscars

2) It's Kenley, not Nicole Kidman and it is EXACTLY what she would choose for herself for any red carpet ever

3) It's a dress that will get noticed because it's stunning and it's different than the parade of long gowns

I was so glad that dress won because it was the perfect blend of challenge/client. I don't know why Gunnar's white sausage dress was in the top three.

"2) It's Kenley, not Nicole Kidman and it is EXACTLY what she would choose for herself for any red carpet ever"

To be fair, according to Laura's blog post, that is exactly what Kenley did.

"But craziest of all, Kenley took complete credit for the dress that Ven and Fabio designed and made. She demanded the silhouette. She showed them the length. She instructed them to buy Navy blue silk gazar. I haven’t see a lot of Ven’s work, but I’ve seen quite a bit of Kenley’s and I am pretty sure he doesn’t need her help. I’m just going to say that the editing was kind to her. And that if she had been on my season there would have been a murder in the workroom."

I won't say that it shouldn't have won, it was indeed the best representation of their client, and the construction and styling were great (it was nice to see them take that primary red off of her lips that she seems to love to use to highlight how big and loud her mouth is), I just didn't feel it was a red carpet dress.

Sadly I don't have cable so I have to wait until tomorrow, but I'm with you Jordan, please, please, PLEASE God let Gunnar go home tonight. I'd be willing to go find a Chik-Fil-A and buy two sandwiches if you can make this happen; please, God?

Oh, these shows are soooo scripted now, but, hey, I like it anyway. Looking forward to VEN tonight. That candy dress from last week was freaking stunning! He's the most talented so far imho.

1. I also don't love anyone's designs this season yet.
2. I thought Kenley's dress would have looked at home on the set of Far From Heaven.
3. They might purposely keep Gunnar on because he's so obnoxious. Otherwise, where is any drama this season?

I wasn't as much of a fan of Christopher's dress (nice dress, but not for the challenge), but Sonja was totally on my radar from the first episode, and Dimitry's work was stunning.
