Fashion Is Fun

10 Questions For Project Runway

projectrunwaybeachchallenge.jpg1. Seriously, where is Michael? This LA thing is really causing a problem.

2. Is Mitchell maybe Godric from True Blood’s twerpy younger brother?

3. Where’d you get those tights, Rachel?

4. Couldn’t you totally imagine Donna Karan wearing that brown t-shirt Johnny and Irina made to some Hamptons shindig?

5. Who else has a hankering for some macramé?

6. Why does avant garde automatically translate to a large one-shouldered number for so many contestants over the course of this show?

7. Does it bother you that Carol Hannah goes by two names as much as it does me and don’t you think she added on her middle moniker the moment she decided Sarah Jessica Parker was really cool on SATC?

8. Does Qristyl have any clue what “fashion forward” actually means?

9. Are we doomed to a season where every single challenge has a California spin?

10. How on earth did Ra’mon finish that very cool neoprene dress in 35 minutes? I would have loved to have seen that footage.

Regarding #7, it is actually very common in the South to have a double name, where you go by both your first and middle names, so I seriously doubt Carol Hannah was copying SJP.

I am happy for the return of 10 questions - always a fashionista highlight even though I don't watch the show. The questions are amusing even when out of context...!

First of all ... I was totally thinking #6.

And ... mpw (#1) ... I'm from the south. ... In my life, I have met one person who uses 2 names ... and it's definitely not Carol and Hannah. ... If anyone actually had a name like that here, I know a lot of people that would be like "Carol or Hannah? Pick one and I'll call you that." ... That's too much for us southern people to think about. If the second name was one syllable, that would be understandable. ... But I do agree that I don't think she was copying SJP.

you know.. I was wondering the same thing about Ra'mon. and poor Qristyl...she's a little out of her league. She's like the Stella without the Leathah.

I think I would have had to stop watching if Mitchell hadn't gone home. And I did love that Rachel Bilson was a guest judge.

Some of the models on this show are just not helping the designs. The girls who wore espadrilles - I think she was wearing Epperson's green-and-white dress - was just clumping down the runway. Same with the girl who wore Logan's poofy dress - she didn't give it the grace it needed. They need to work harder on selling the designs they're modeling!

About #7:
Like Guest 1, said, some in the South go by two names. But like missavogue mentioned, you don't here it too often. The reason why is that usually it's your family(usually the ladies) who call you by both your first and middle name. I have never been known to any friends or acquaintances by both names, nor would I introduce myself that way.
About #5:
I now have the urge to learn to do macrame:)

Oh, #7. When I read the Stella comment, I totally had this gnarly voice speak the "leathah" bit. :) That made me smile.

And is it sad I was only jealous because the designers actually go Max to look at them? I interned for his damn company and he walked right by me every time he was in the office! : (

the tights are chanel.

qristyl is a joke, imo she's going to be one of those who get lucky to go far in the show cos there's always someone that does worst than her, but she's always at the bottom.she has no taste and doesn't even have a story or inspiration behind her designs.

i'm so glad mitchell is gone. he had the nerves to tell heidi he did no work. did he think he was just going to get away with it again??

Qrystal's only taste is in her mouth.

Great list. And I agree about the CA thing. CA fashion, and LA in particular, are uninteresting. I hope they go back to NYC where true fashion exists.
