Apparently, when I walked in for the interviewed, Mr. Gunn remembered me from a couple of fashion weeks ago when I met him after a Tracy Reese show! I felt so honored. He even gave me his card after the interview.

Then I took a picture with him:

MY HEAD LOOKS ENORMOUS. And the glasses make me look REALLY odd.

Kenley, the retro Dita-Von-Teese-in-training, on Project Runway was cute and lovable at first, but now – the bitch just needs to shut the hell up and learn to take criticism.

For real, why does she think she’s all high and mighty? First she tries to “set Heidi straight” and then she questions Tim’s style suggestions. Listening to her talk is like trying to get help from an employee at an overpriced, pretentious vintage store.

She definitely has a chip on her shoulder. She needs to break out and stop using that uber-red lipstick. She’s lookin’ like a vampire prostitute.

Ugh. She just needs to calm the hell down. Then again, she’s probably the most interesting thing to bitch about on this season thus far.

And is it me, or is this season of Project Runway turning out to be mind-numbingly boring? I’ve tried to like it and get really involved, but I’m just not feeling it. So many of the designers are turning out to be annoying – and not in a good way.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop watching. I mean, I might as well finish what I started – even if it is like waiting for a box of hair to talk.

Okay, okay – Brooke Shields’ style expands above and beyond the SATC step-sister. You can never forget her “Nothing comes between me and my Calvins” (thanks for reenacting that for us Suede). More than that, who can forget her Pocahontas beach diva role in The Blue Lagoon?

But I digress…

The challenge was to design an outfit for Shields’ boho-chic character on Lipstick Jungle, Wendy Healy. The twist in this episode? The designers were working in pairs! Bravo Photo: Barbara Nitke

This week, the designers were introduced to speed skating Olympiad turned “Dancing with the Stars” hunk, Apolo Anton Ohno and to their most interesting challenge this season: design an outfit for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

It seems fitting considering the Olympics start this week. PR stunt or coincidence? You be the judge.

So let’s get some stuff out of the way before I get into my take on the actual challenge. Here are some really important highlights from last night’s show…

Last night our designers went out into the urban jungle of Manhattan and snapped shots of the city at night. From the pictures they took, they were to create a garment suitable for a night on the town.

This challenge seems very familiar to me. Maybe it’s because they did something like it in season two – except they didn’t have to make a garment for a specific time of day. They just had to make a garment inspired by digicam snap shots of the city. (Photo by: Barbara Nitke/Bravo TV)

This is quite exciting. I love hearing Filipino accents. It premiered last night and unfortunately, I don’t get the ETC channel.

What a great way to represent the homeland! I wonder if this Pinoy version of Pro-Run is going to have a BARONG or MARIA CLARA challenge. Or maybe a Tinikling costume challenge. What if they had to make a costume inspired by a Filipino dish? I would so choose embutido.

Sounds a little boring huh? Well…that’s what I thought too, until there was a little twist: the models had to pick the fabrics! What a way to fuck with the designers, huh?

When the models came back from Mood with their treasures, most of the designers were less than excited – especially those who got that shiny doo-doo fabric.

Since it’s only the second show, there’s not that much work room drama. I think the most exciting thing about this episode was Blayne poking fun at Stella’s leather fetish. And P.S. I am already tired of that term “tanorexic” to describe Blayne. Just call him a scrawny crack-ish Ken doll and call it a day.

…and am I the only one that gets Leanne and Jennifer confused?

So as the designers try to make their garments, Korto second guesses her design, Jerrell makes fun of team doo-doo fabric, Keith wonders what the hell he’s going to do with peacock feathers, Wesley calls the fabrics he got “disgusting” and Suede goes for an ambitious design that looks exciting!

Fast forward to the runway and the designers find out who their guest judge is – let’s take a look at this special video footage:

I like how they gave Natalie a grand entrance. That’s going to happen when I become a guest judge on the show. Miss Portman is so enchanting – and did Tim Gunn just say “holla atcha boy” in that little video package?

So as the garments come down the runway, I am really diggin’ Keith’s flirty design:

I’m worried about Wesley’s. It just looks so messy and it doesn’t look like him. It looks like something a bad sewer would do. Someone like me…

Kenley’s is just fabulous! I am so feelin’ this high-collared/streamlined goodie…

Leanne’s piece looks like fabric gone schizophrenic on a dress form…

But in the end, Suede’s tulle ballerina, uber-strappy glam rock creation won over the judges and a spot on the cyber-racks of Bluefly.com…

And in the end, Wesley was auf’d…

I was kind of surprised. This meek gentleman seemed like he had a boatload of talent that would take him far in the game. Plus, he worked at Marc by Marc Jacobs! I guess that don’t mean jack when you fumble on the runway. I also really liked the way he dressed…

I think shiny, tight and short is the quickest way to look cheap.
