Fashion me a Winner!
Two out of 3 of my favorite fashion-inspired reality TV show contests are coming to a close. Next week, Tyra will crown yet another Next Top Model who will doubtlessly not end up on the covers of any important fashion magazine nor be the spokesmodel for any product save for her sad fake commercials for Cover Girl that will only air during the next cycle of America's Next Top Model and are always followed by a real Cover Girl commercial featuring either Queen Lahtifah or Drew Barrymore.
Maybe that's the real problem, folks. Celebs stealing jobs right from under poor starving models! Er, the starving being by choice of course.
Meanwhile, over on America's Most Smartest Model they are also down to 3- a scheming conceited jerk named VJ who is chiseled to within an inch of his life, but whose horrid personality makes you want to give up hot guys forever; a semi-smart, semi-pretty gal who seems to think she's an expert at everything (except maybe modeling); and one whacko Russian who keeps spouting off against America, Americans and anything not Soviet but who has never been in Russia (I don't think), doesn't speak Russian, and has no qualms living in America and living off capitalism. Sadly, the choices are so slim I actually am rooting for him. If all America has to offer is VJ and what's-her-face then color me Red! (Just kidding, Big Brother!!!)
Luckily, Project Runway has just begun. We're on Episode 4 and the challenge was to take 3 tacky outdated fashion no-no's and combine them into a collection of current and relevant outfits. The contestants had to be in teams of 3 and the team with "underwear as outerwear", "neon", and "cutouts" had the hardest time, especially because two of them didn't get along. Victorya got all bossy and wouldn't listen to Ricky the lingerie designer and Ricky didn't sew his garment very well and it looked like a cross between Wonder Woman's suit and something out of an 80s rap video...and well, needless to say....Ricky was in the Bottom 2. But lucky for him the team with "dancewear", "shoulder pads" and "baggy sweater" could not put a cohesive collection together and Chris designed a beige sheath dress topped with a hideous brown crop jacket with large shoulder pads. He was out! Oh well...I'm glad Eliza is still around. She's a scary New Age nutcase but her designs acutally turn out pretty nice, and I'd have worn her dress from last night. What do you think- can I rock it?
Bravo is premeiring a new show next week called "Make Me a Supermodel" and you get to vote online! I smell a winner! "The Shot" would also qualify as semi-fashion but I don't know, those photogs bore me.....

Yeah, I agree with you that Eliza makes pretty cool clothes but the whole spit mark thing is kinda freaky. I am not sure how far she'll go in the clothing industry with those kinds of practices.
