Project Runway takes a break this week. Next week, they will go where no designer has gone before. At least the promos make it out to be making clothes for professional wrestlers.
While everyone’s favorite fashionista program is grasping at straws these days, another one seems to be growing on people, including yours truly. The best way I can describe “Make Me A Supermodel” is that it’s like America’s Next Top Model, but more equal opportunity. While Tyra and company will point to that they audition people of all colors, the only people they offer the opportunity are women. Tyson Beckford and company, however, level the playing field and give men the chance to compete along side the female contestants.
Tyson, a supermodel in his own right, doesn’t have Tyra’s campy charisma. Sometimes, he’s downright intimidating, especially during panel. He has a deep voice with the hint of a growl, so when he tells the models they’re in or if they’re up to the public’s vote, he comes across as the voice of God.
While Project Runway only offers glimpses of male flesh, there’s no shortage of it on “Make Me A Supermodel.” For the straight viewers, there’s also women in various stages of undress. In this week’s episode, the models take it off at Parson’s and later at a performance art piece.
Which model do I like the most? Ronnie – he’s adorable!
Every episode, the public gets to vote on which of the bottom three gets to stay. This feature of the show is very time sensitive and it’s amazing that they put the show together so quickly. I voted for Casey – he has that Joe Dallesandro vibe.

When I read “making clothes for professional wrestlers”, I caught a flash back to one of the Bud Light “Real Men of Genius” ads. Yes, they did one for “Mr. Professional Wrestling Wardrobe Designer.”
Come to think of it, perhaps the producers of the show were websurfing old commercials….who knows?
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on one’s perspective, I don’t watch this show. But, thanks to your reviews I don’t have to.
Here’s a link, btw:

If I knew it would take Project Runway to bring you out of hiding, I would have done it a long time ago.

I’m glad to know you’re up and about and even tuning in to ShindoTV.
I just watched the vid. I didn’t know that Bud filmed these – I only heard them on the radio. However, it was everything I thought it would be, including the mullet-head jingle singer.
