Project Runway Makes it Work!


I was so excited to watch the premier of Project Runway. It is one of my favorite shows and when I heard talks that BRAVO dropped the show I was shocked! I have always thought the show did fairly well as far as ratings go. You can imaging my relief when I heard Lifetime was picking it up and a grand new season would start again. The Lifetime channel isn't just celebrating their Top Runway buy they are sucking as many funds as they can out of the show by starting the night with Project Runway: All Star Challenge, then Project Runway and then aired the Models of the Runway reality show that looks into the lives of the Project Runway models. It was about 3 hours of fashion TV. I do love fashion though so I wasn't necessary upset they decided to benefit from the show. I must add I thought that most of the designs that the supposed All Stars made were just awful. I didn't really think most came with there A game and some were even sleeping throughout the intense competition. I was thrilled when the new season started. I loved that they pretty much had the new contestants do the same red carpet challenge that the All Stars did in the previous show. The even more impressive thing was the new season cast blew away the all stars as far as designs are concerned. Right away my top favorite contestants are Shirin Askari, Irina Shabayeva, Gordana Gehlhausen, Carol Hannah Whitefield and Christopher Straub. Their designs were very professional and actually something I could imagine a star wearing on the red carpet. I am guessing most of my favorites will end up staying awhile. The guest judge for the premier was miss Lindsey Lohan. Usually I am not a fan of that crazy red, but I felt she did offer some mature impute that was really factual. Maybe she does know something about fashion...who knew? Did anyone else out there think that Ari Fish (crazy girl who was kicked off first) looked like Lohan's ex Samantha Ronson? I wonder if Lohan will stalk her and start randomly dating women again. The show was fantastic and I really think it has a very talented group that will be tough competitors. I can't wait to see what the rest of the show brings. Hopefully my favorites wont be "OUT" too soon.
