newcritics: Project Runway: Live-blogging!

  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Ooh, I here that this season sounds a lot more professional. Let's see how it goes!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Damn! The 21 has some contacts! Or do you think that's a little stretched? It's totally stretched. He's 21.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Whoot! We've got a Chicago boy!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    These people have tons of experience. Oh! Here's the one that must be the craziest. She's 47 and named Sweet P!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    This group definitely seems the strongest!

    Hee! It's never about fun people!!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    *loved* the look Tim had when the woman was "imbuing" her chiffon with grass stains...
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Tim's looks are indeed priceless. That contestant is a performance artist. She'll be interesting.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Ok! I ran up as fast as I could! I'm like the one guy who pulled it up last, I think.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Hi BG! Don't you love Tim!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    When that girl started staining the cloth with grass, I said to BK, "Well, that was a creative idea!"

    BK: "No. It's not. They're all scary. They'd all gut you for a pair of Prada shoes."

    lol.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    BK is right. I think this group has a lot of fringe element.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I "kind of" know Tim from the bits and pieces I've seen in the past -- but, not really. I will have to get to know him this season.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oh, BG, you're raising that kid right. :)

    I'm glad I'm not the only commenter! :) I feel so separate from Jennifer!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I will never remember these people's names...
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Ok! Back downstairs I go.

    What I do for this live blogging...

    lol.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Man Men almost killed me doing this.

    Ok, I'll be back.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    BG - you don't have to remember names until a bunch have gotten cut. You'll learn to love Tim. Unless his britches have gotten too big. Doubtful.

    These people are nuts. They are OVER THINKING.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    The grey dress - gorgeous.

    21 yr old - not making sense. The judges will call him out. Never argue with Tim! He's always right!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I dislike the editors giving the crazy nature lady special music. It's unfair and very manipulative. C'mon people. Unnecessary.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    HAHAHA!! Santino has totally sold out!!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Christian is TOO MUCH.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Tim is always right. BG, you'll want Tim to move in with you.

    Claire- how long before the young one bites the dust? Will he rise to the occasion or be eaten by Mean P?!?
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    This show is making me want to go to NYC and go shopping!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Snag would grill and eat Christian.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    BG- you have to wait until the show is over.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    How many people get booted tonight? Is it just one? I like it when they cut a bunch. Is that mean of me? I just want to get through the crappy people first.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I liked that blue dress from the front, but not from the back. The one the girl who went to bed made.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    OMG - that Atonement preview gave me goosebumps. I'm *so* looking forward to that film.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Poor blondie who couldn't finish. I like her so far.
  • Snag · 1 year ago
    An outfit made of salad? An outfit made of offal would be better.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Snag! Yay!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Snag!! You made it! I think offal would indeed be interesting.
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    Those Bluefly nude models act so smug!
  • Snag · 1 year ago
    Nude models? I need to upgrade my cable.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Heidi's hair matches her dress too much. Too "matchy matchy" as Nina would say.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Purple dress is fabbo!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    WHOA! ORange dress kicked ass!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I liked the metallic mini, but the Jack's dress is great! I love the pattern and blue!
  • Snag · 1 year ago
    A floral pattern snorkel would really complete the ensemble.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Should we take bets now on who goes?
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    Ricky's childhood hero was Choo-Choo Charlie.

    One of those boomer references that may not register with the younger folk.

    Forget I said anything.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oh, it's going to be either Elise or Simone. Elise is confusing the HELL out of the judges.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I'm old enough to know Choo Choo Charlie. :)
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    That one designer--the one who ignored her intuition--really reminds me of Emily Prager.
  • Snag · 1 year ago
    Choo-Choo Charlie would make an outstanding judge. As would Mr. Greenjeans.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I love that Elise was literally a train wreck. :)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Soon everyone will be wearing the "Pooing Fabric Dress"!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Train wreck- perfect, Claire!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I *loved* that blue dress from the front.

    And I thought Christian's was hideous. I don't even get that.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    BG- didn't Christian's look like a Lollipop Guild ensemble?
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I've got to figure out a way to get cable where my computer is. This show's way too fun not to be able to comment as I'm watching.
  • Snag · 1 year ago
    You know, I don't have cable here. What the hell, exactly, is "pooing fabric?" Or is that a question best left unasked?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Pooing fabric is when you have a "train wreck". Watch the rerun. :)
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Yeah, Christian's was too much for me. I don't get it. I'd never wear *anything* with those patterns.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Think the babydoll's gonna get the boot?

    Gotta go!

    I'll be back after.
  • James Wolcott · 1 year ago
    Choo-Charlie survived the dreaded Blade of Elimination!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Poor Simone. You've got to be able to sew! Sucks to go first!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Aw, poor Simone.
  • Snag · 1 year ago
    Yay Rami (sp).
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    That other woman better not go to bed again before gettin' her act together!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oooh! Can't wait for the bitchy! Oh the drama!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Jennifer - thanks for starting us off! I feel a little silly for all my comments.
  • Jennifer · 1 year ago
    Claire, thanks for all of your comments! I'll be returning the favor next week.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Two thoughts about the winner....

    1) The dress was pretty but it needed to hug a little snugger at the sides, and

    2) The designer has really nice arms.

    :)
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Claire, don't feel silly. I would've been right there with you if I could've been multi-tasking.

    Good idea, gals!

    Fun show.
  • Jennifer · 1 year ago
    BG- get that cable hook-up by your computer!
  • peteski · 1 year ago
    Santino was right - the most inspirational place in LA is a strip mall.

    ps. P should get a neck tattoo - she has the same chin as last year's neck tattoo.

    pps. Simone LeBlanc was her real name.
