Project Runway: Fashion Giant (more thoughts)
Having gone through the blogosphere on Project Runway this week, I came across this notable quote from Television without Pity:
And, per expectation, Ricky cries. He officially has a problem.
Indeed. We’re all waiting for the mother of all meltdowns when it happens.
They could have picked a better subject for a menswear challenge.* Tiki Barber, however handsome, is of little interest to a fashionista audience. Hell, most of the designers couldn’t get excited about it except for the pint sized Kevin, whose gushes about Barber being the greatest running back simply amounts to another reminder of him being straight.
Which brings me to another subject. Why does this man with the gay facial hair take every opportunity to tell the viewers that he’s straight? As if he’s the first heterosexual male designer on Project Runway? Please. There were at least two in Season 1 (one of whom returned in Season 2) and three in season 3 (including winner Jeffrey Sebelia). If I hear one more reminder, I will scream.
A question I have about Project Runway and its casting policies is “do they use extras?” Jillian has managed to slide by in three episodes with very little screen time. She is often in the background, designing and sewing away on her creations, but we get to know little about her and her work. She looks like Elaine from Seinfeld, though there’s little basis for comparison. We don’t know if she’s as annoying. If she goes, will we miss her?
As for Abercrombie God‘s winning creation, Tiki Barber’s stylist could have procured a similar outfit from the mall. As much as Kevin annoys me, his outfit should have won. If he tucked his model’s shirt in, it would have.
*Personally, I’d nominate Duran Duran, but Justin Timberlake is also a good candidate.
