Project Runway: I’d like my dress to match my hair…


It’s that time again… time for another stab at the live-blogging of Bravo’s Project Runway. The only difficulty here is the “live” part. For as much as I have loved this show, I’ve been finding it hard to stay awake for this season. There has not been much life in this cast.The entire ensemble seems to be wrapped in a tranquilized haze and it’s seeping out of the televisions and is affecting at least this viewer.

While this season promised more experienced designers and therefore tougher challenges, I am suddenly remembering that experience is not always what makes this show great; it’s the mixture of personalities. It’s the creative clashes, the humor, the hissy fits. We’ve had few. Last week came the closest when our favorite “love to hate” designer, better known as Christian, was teamed with his nightmare client, a teen girl with more ego and demands than his own. This young girl had prom dress visions of lace, ruffles, and more lace. Her dress started taking off in the direction of a parade float only to turn into something that looked more like a root beer float. I almost felt sorry for Christian, that is until he threw his client under the very float he designed. He was supposed to be the professional. He should have led her, difficult though she may be, but at least we had some tension!! At least there was some drama! Up until now, our drama has consisted of real life tragedy: Jack’s having to leave or Elisa’s story of how she clung to and then started a new life. And let’s not forget Ricky’s non-stop tears. I’m tempted to suggest that Ricky only work in moire silk, a fabric known for its watered appearance.

On tonight’s episode, designers must create outfits based on various hairstyles. It should be interesting… could be challenging. Last week’s teaser hinted at life emanating from the contestants. I might even go so far as to say they were showing spunk! We still have 8 designers left. There’s still time for this season to snap out of its stupor. Be there when it happens!
