project runway

this was the last project before the final 3 in fashion week...

mission: create an evening gown that will show the theme of the line that you will take to fashion week if you make teh final 3...


santino: gold gown... 500 trims, check... he picks about a million phat sequins "paillettes" they call them.. is it because they are a bit oversized?... paillette is just french for sequins anyway... i had gold sequins glued all over my carnacs when i was in france... so i feel the phat sequins on santino's joint... i feel the gold...

chloe: not real interesting what she is doing...

daniel: always doing something nice.. i picked up on the nice navy color

kara: had not a clue as to what was going on.. and they kept cutting to her talking about how terrible she was feeling about it all...

it is soon revealed that iman will be the super duper secret judge and will wear the winning gown during a red carpet event...

i think- iman is the guest judge and she wears the dress?... santino wins... gold sequins on iman is going to be good...

les paillettes... dope!... but as it progressed i was less excited about it... there werent 500 trims.. there were like maybe only 50... the bottom was nicer than the top.. but i can say that it made a statement compared to what the other designers did... but it wasnt a signature santino dress... not like his niki hilton one... it sort of didnt live up to the promose of his original scetch... but hey.. what can you do?...

the highlight?... kors called santino right out and that was pretty funny to me... he said that santino knows that the judges know what he is going to do.. and that he knows the judges arent going to dig it so much but he is going to do his thing anyway just to make the point... he gets props for his fuck em all attitude but kors is on to him... it just goes to show these old guys know something...that old kors has seen it all before... just when you are convinced that you are new and different somebody comes along to say "Listen up, maggot. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else."

this episode to me was not that great...

daniel wins.. deservedly... kara is out.. predictably... i cant say whose garment was that great because i think this time it really didnt have to do much with the challenge. it had more to do with the body of work produced during teh show... i try to take the show as it is presented.. but this time it was a forgone conclusion and for the quality of the show and the validity of it's result what was done had to be done... any one of the 3 designers could have turned out shit (and they did) and the result would not have been changed...

i finally figured out that santino (who is freinds with me on myspace) looks like julio from sanford and son...



i was happy that santino and daniel could share a hug... because it is just a game in the fight club sense... now if santino could just punch daniel in the ear we would have something worth watching this time...

now- this is what i wanna know... who would make the grade into project mayhem?... you cant really say because the whole lesson of fight club is that you never know what people can become and how great they can be when they have nothing and have no reasons.. you cant live until you die... who can "make it work" when all pretense has been removed and there is only you and you now know that you just arent special and you never were...

i thought they should have kicked all three of those lame dresses off the show. doesn't tim always say "this looks like i could buy it on madison ave." as a criticism all the time? daniel shouldn't have won, but your point about it not really being about the dress is dead on.

yeah.. but the thing is that kara was showing at fashion week... so i wonder what happened to get that going.. i am sure we will find out...

if you are interested to google it there are all kinds of things on the web about what the contestants showed on the runway there...

if you go to the sites of the contestants you get an idea of what they are doing in the real world... their designs that these people have on their personal sites are a lot different from what they have on the show... i think its a function of the time constraints and project parameters.. and pressure of competition...

i am looking forward to the reunion show...

its interesting to me that a lot of people seems to have trouble dealing with other people when there is something at stake... maybe its because i have been an athlete for my entire adult life... i think a lot of the people on the show have a hard time with themselves and they really have a tough time dealing with things because they lack a proper perspective... i like zulema for this reason.. she seems to be really well grounded and able to deal with things in a constructive and unemotional way... she is aware...

these people all need to take a trip to paper street...

i encourage also the broke back life style of bull riding and kicking the crap out of people... like what cowboys do...

Anyone aware that Willy Nelson just released a cover of Pany Division's "Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Eachother"?
