Foiled Again
Hello and welcome back to my Project Runway review. I know some of you don't dig it 'cause yer too cheap to spring for cable TV or can't get someone to buy it fer you (i.e. sugar daddy) so you must sit around watching...what IS on Wednesday nights on regular TV?
Anyway, for those of us in the know and who don't care if we have to sell a kidney to get some good TV viewing on, here is the latest on what happened on The Runway. ($68 bucks well spent!!!!)
Since the commercial previews last week I knew the designers would be making a dress for "a famous socialite." Obviously THE most famous socialite of the Age is Paris Hilton. She is also the most annoying blonde ho clogging the airways. Now that she is super-busy being famous for being famous (and rich) she hasn't the time, I guess, to grace The Runway. I mean, like four years ago only those of us who read celibrity rags knew who the heck she was so she would have totally been perfect for the show but alas and alack we got the lesser-known Hilton (and that includes the mom), Miss Nicky. Not blonde. That's hot.
The designers were given a dossier to study and then had 30 minutes to sketch. When they interviewed Marla (known for her lack of fashion design knowledge) she had some kinda interesting sketches but she said she did those BEFORE she knew WHICH socialite she'd be designing for and said those other dresses were what SHE would like to wear to a party so she changed it when she got the dossier. Right away I noticed that her new "creation" was just like a dress Nicky was wearing in one of the two pictures provided in the dossier. Uh-oh.
Since the show wasn't that exciting tonight, I think I'll take the time out to say that I watched the end of the previous Runway which was being re-shown by Bravo- the one which saw the end of Daniel Franco's fight for top design dog because of his similar and rather boring black lace "Lovemaking" line of lingerie. I noticed it last week but there was no sad music as he packed up, which is one of the trademarks of the show. (The stock music includes the "theme" music, the music they play when the models walk the runway, the scary drama-filled music for when the judging is beginning and the designers must defend their creations, and finally, the little sad background music they have for the eliminated designer's exit.) It was nice that they chose not to have that for Daniel as he left with a lot of dignity for sticking up for Chloe and Kara, his helpmates on the design. I have to say that he was so cute and sweet I got a little crush on him. I think he's gay, though. Okay, he's pretty much obviously gay but so what? And now he's gone! Daniel Franco, ah wish ah knew how to quit yew!!!
Back to the challenge. Daniel Vosivic (now the only Daniel so we don't have to distinguish him by calling him Daniel V, I guess) bought chocolate brown fabric to go with his pink-with-print fabric but it was an accident. He wanted black. He told both Diana and Kara that they had what he wanted so if they had some to spare....They didn't. There was also some drama when things got misplaced and someone yelled (I think it was Santino but this was off-camera): "Where the HELL is my chiffon?" It was classic and I KNOW I'm going to see that on "The Soup". (Before you judge me for watching too much TV I happen to know lots of you watch tons of movies and movies are like two hours long so you have time to waste as well! So what if I didn't start this blog right away 'cause I had to sit down to the newest "Daisy Does America" first? I mean, I love Brits who are America-holics....unlike...Bollocks to you, Harold Pinter!)
The designers were then to go to a party at the Markee to hang out with their client Nicky Hilton where their models would be wearing their designs (again, as I stated before, the models are not emphasized at all this season so it's almost stupid that they have a semi-dramatic "bringing out" of the "losing" model and "winning" model from the previous week so one can be eliminated) and where they would have to "sell" themselves to Nicky Hilton.
Science geek Diana made a splash not with her dress but by having a drink and dancing sexily. She wasn't drunk or slutty, mind you, but everyone was surprised by this coming out. They started to call her "Dirty Diana". That was once my name too but I won't get into THAT.
Nicky took a shine to Santino despite the fact that he's a pompous jerk. Go figure. She also told Daniel she loved his design (but then again he was the first she saw) and she seemed to love Chloe's and Nick's. She did not seemed at all thrilled by Emmett, Kara or Zulema's designs and she was straight-out unimpressed by Guadalupe's weird mish-mesh (reminiscent of Santino's lingerie disaster because it too had lots of trim and too much embelishing). Unfortunately for Marla, who is also the oldest, Nicky noticed that the dress she made was just like the Chloe design from the dossier. Ooops. Tim Gunn warned Marla but she would not listen!!!
Next day, time for judging. Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Nicky Hilton join Heidi Klum on the judgement seat. It's time. Bring out the models. Smiles for Nick and Chloe. Frowns for Guadalupe, Diana and Marla. Safe are Daniel, Emmett, and Zulema. "You may leave the runway." Santino is still there. Is he best or worst?
I hate Santino but to his credit his dress was much nicer than some of the others. BUT...to me it was VERY SIMILAR to his first dress that won the first competition. It was just longer and in a different fabric and instead of cerulian blue it was Nicky Hilton gray-blue eyes blue. He told her as much: her eyes were his focal point, his muse. Aw.
Nick's dress had a very pretty back and was blue and black. Chloe's had a braid down the back and was lauded by the three usual judges. But Nicky was not only the guest judge but the client. Her say went.
So, Santino wins! Bugger! (Foiled agian) Not only did she not know his other dress was too similar to this one but apparently she didn't get the memo that his attitude sucks. She actually LIKED him and felt his personality and attitude were great. He was of course very full of himself afterward, saying, "I may not have won the Barbie chellenge" (which Nick beat him on) "but I won the Nicky Hilton challenge, which is more important because Barbie won't be buying dresses from me but Nicky might." Ugh. Nick looked perplexed about losing and I don't blame him. I actually think he'll take the big prize home.
The two losers left on stage: Marla the Copycat and Guadalupe the Awful Designer. Michael Kors felt that Guadalupe would put Nicky on Worst Dressed lists and that was sort of worse than her wearing a dress that would "bore" people by being similar to another one. Heidi Klum, however, was disturbed by the cloning situation.
Out? Guadalupe. Cue the sad music. She leaves saying she knows some people won't "get" her designs. Yeah, 'cause they suck. Sorry! Auf Weidersehen.
