newcritics: Project Runway: The Live Blogging Continues

  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I love that each week is the "hardest challenge yet!" Hee hee! I can't believe I missed SJP last weekend! And the tears! I hope there are more tears!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Claire! You're here!

    Oh did you miss the tears... tears and spit... thank gawd it was only a 60 minute show. Who knows what other body fluids we might have seen!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Why is a football player there?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I was wondering if they were going to have to design for men.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    WOW! Menswear! That is crazy for this show. I can't wait to see!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    I hope they make him a suit like Nick made two seasons ago!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    He's not afraid of pink!

    Good boy.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    They did some menswear in Season 2, but not everyone had to do it.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Classic Make It Work Moment!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    This is going to be so hard for everyone. Blue Girl! You're commenting real time! Yay!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I wish I could type the way each of these people talk.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Any bets on when the first major tears show up?
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    These people on this show! Going on and on about immigrants, how horrible gay marriage is, how literally they believe the Bible, how many guns they have, why torture works, and how the world wants to kill us. I just can't take the personal attacks, the crying, the outright bitchiness...

    They call this fashion??!!

    Oh wait, it's the Republican YouTube debate - lemme switch over and get caught up.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I have a long cord snaking through the house like some sort of blog addict.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Is anyone else's page taking a long time to load?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    These people would hang me if they could see what I was wearing right now.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Haha, this will be much better, Tom.

    Yay! I'm glad you're a blog addict, BG!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I was gonna say, TW! What ARE you talking about and what am I not seeing?

    LOL.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Tom- that does sound a bit like a former challenge...
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I've got a time lag on loading, too.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    That girl is cute....the one with the ballerina thing around her waist.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Dear... someone sounds like they're making him sansabelts!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    It's nice that Jack is sharing.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Bring out the ugly, people!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Bring out the ugly!!! Bring it!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Ooh, where does the pattern issue fall? We had someone kicked out one (last?) season for pattern use.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Jinx
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Yeah, it was last season.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Claire- how was your final presentation?

    BG- are you using commercial time to plan your bake-off strategy??
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    All I need for the bake-off is some Jello pudding mix and some Nestle morsels.

    And I'm set to go.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Oh. And a little coconut.

    I'll make it work!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Good girl!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Is Tom baking?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    And Res will be eating the crumbs at my feet yet again.

    I'm gonna go see if I can drag him over here. I'm sure he watches this show.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    The presentation was fine (not the best), but the paper came together well. No more early mornings! Yay! Almost done!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Yay pants!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    *so* !!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Hahaha! I love the responses to the male models.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    I'll give Res extra points. :)
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    He could never "relate" to the hot chicks/straight guy thing before?

    What kind of imagination does the boy have anyway?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Oh no... Elisa's going off on her own tangent
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    "He is the only male I choose to touch."

    Is that Elise? The weird one?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    It's time for the Ricky waterworks.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Yep- it's Elisa... from her own planet.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Oh, this should be painful.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    How do you spell Tiki?

    Is it Tiki?
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Interesting twist with the mid-way critique!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    I think so, but don't know, BG.
  • James Wolcott · 2 years ago
    I'm never walking around in my underwear again.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I kind of love that Ricky cries. Maybe it's early for that statement. It may haunt me.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    "Ricky doesn't look good." :)
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I think I'd forget the dress shirt and go for a nicer thicker white t-shirt and a nice suit coat thing?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Members Only! Ouch!!!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Uh-oh! If you've got Tim worried - it's not good! Members only! God no!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Seems like a dress shirt and a suit coat are too much to do!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    That would be a ton of work.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Yes! Snap! We want snapping!
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    Wait a minute, I have half a dozen Members Only jackets - I wear them every day! I live in Members Only. It's a lifestyle thing. Is she suggesting they're somehow out of style in their oh-so-hip New York Parsons/FIT runway hang-outs?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Has anyone done PANIC as a clothing line?
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I love that Kara Saun is a worse spokesperson than Santino. I think that's hilarious.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    TW, we need to have a talk about your fashion choices.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Tom do you also wear one white crystal glove?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    You better not be wearing Members' Only jackets around my city.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    I miss Santino!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Atonement looks good, doesn't it?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Tom- you haven't answered... are you baking in the bake-off? Hmmm?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Atonement sounds like a cologne.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I cannot wait for Atonement. I just read the book. It is too beautiful. The movie looks fab.
  • Jim Tourtelott · 2 years ago
    Do the rules allow them to send ten people home in one night?
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    I have two real leather, two genuine imitation leather, one rain-proof cotton, and one in pleated parachute silk.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Did I see James Wolcott in the comment section wearing his tighty whities??
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Jim T- quit harshing on the Project Runway mellow.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Suh Raaaad.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I really like Kit.

    And the models are super hot.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Claire- who donated the accessories last year? It wasn't Bluefly.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Whoa. Amazing is right.

    And I'm not talkin' 'bout the clothes.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    They are nice aren't they, BG...
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Aw! What's her name? The one with the tattoos?
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I hope it's Carmen that goes home and not Sweet Pea.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Oh dear! That crotch is bad!! Yikes!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Oh no! That was totally Members Only!
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    "The crotch on the pants is insane." I get that every day.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Yeah, Sweet P has grown on me. Carmen's rather harsh.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Should we start calling you Insane Crotch?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    one in pleated parachute silk.

    TW, were you, like, totally Flock of Seagulls in the 80s?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    one in pleated parachute silk.

    TW, were you, like, totally Flock of Seagulls in the 80s?
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I think Sweet Pea is more talented, too.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    I agree, Claire. Plus I thought it was admirable how she dug into Elisa's craziness last week and made it work!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Sweat Pea...that's it.

    I felt sorry for her.

    Jennifer, please note ALL ABSENCES FROM LIVE BLOGGING. And please take special note of me and Claire.
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    More Sex Pistols, actually...but I enjoy mocking the 'gulls style!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I meant....

    P
  • Jim Tourtelott · 2 years ago
    I'm guessing Carmen. She doesn't even have a shirt. Admittedly, Sweet P's has a collar fit for Pavarotti, but at least she's got a shirt.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Duly noted, BG. You and Claire score copious bake-off points for live-blogging.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    You know. I'm happy to see Michael Kors doesn't seem to be a total jerk.

    I always feel vaguely ripped off just when I see his logo in a store.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    God Carmen's jacket doesn't even look complete!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    No.

    Members Only woman.

    No way.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Michael Kors is pretty funny.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I have NO idea who will be in the top.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    That last one looked like Jerry Lewis!
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    Last week's models were better.
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    I missed some - any spitting on fabric this week?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I liked Rami's

    and others, but don't know their names yet.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Wrong!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Go Kit!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Navy fleece seems all cozy to me! Sort of xanaxish.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Go Sweet P! It's not over!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    My page wouldn't load. The wrong was in response to Tom's comment about models.

    oh no... poor Sweet P!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Stripes, stripes, stripes!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Most people on the Today Show look like fools, so no worries, Tiki.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Sweet P smells a chance!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I think ballerina girl will lose.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Insane crotch has to go home!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Is he a newsboy??
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Yes, insane crotch must go.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I like Jack's too
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    Wow, some major blunders - and this time, I don't mean the GOP debate. No shirt, quite the miss. She's gone.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Boy, that is a reeeeally long tie.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Ooh! Harsh from Heidi: They all thought they were better than they are!
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    Civil War Hat should get booted, just so we can see him cry s'more....
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    I think cozy fleece or funky vest or maybe stripey but not too stripey is gonna win.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    It's got to be Carmen. You can't have an insane crotch, no shirt and Boogie Nights' pants and NOT go home...
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    He'll cry from relief when Carmen goes home.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    They all thought they were better than they are!

    Yeah, that's one harsh thing to say.

    LOL @ Civil War Hat must go
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Tom, don't worry. You can admit your love of Flock of Seaguls to me.

    and I run, I run so far away....
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Which would you want to undress?
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Was Jack stripey but not too stripey?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Yay! Stripey/stripey!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Yay Sweet P!!!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Yay! Go Sweet P!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Oh my God. Carmen's totally out. She did not make it work at all.
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    Looks like a scene from Gone with the Wind...two of 'em standing there.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    YES!!! Ricky lives to cry another day!
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    I like Jack and his outfit - glad he won.

    Insane crotch is gone and tears from delicate Ricky!
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Aw, Ricky's crying.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    How does she have integrity with menswear??
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    It's much easier to lose when you lose *so bad* and you know you did so bad.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Ricky's always crying. I bet he's often dehydrated.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Steven just looks like he could go round the bend in a second.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Not to be sexist, but the men's thing was boring.

    Bring on the funky styles!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    They need drag queens.
  • Claire Helene · 2 years ago
    Alright, GREAT showing people! I now have to go pass out. See you 'round these parts next week!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Sounds good, Claire.
  • blue girl · 2 years ago
    Yeah, thanks guys. It was fun.

    Now, I gotta wind up this cord.

    Night!
  • Tom Watson · 2 years ago
    Good night, all!
  • Jim Tourtelott · 2 years ago
    Claire, "integrity with menswear" means knowing you're so bad at it that you deliberately turn out a real piece of crap.

    The poor girl was doomed from the moment "Members Only" was pronounced.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 2 years ago
    Good night! Thanks everyone for showing up.
