Blame it On the Bravo

So, since the advent of DVR, I've become more of a TV nut than I ever expected. I mean, considering that we didn't have Cable at my house for the first three years we lived there, I've really come along way. But I blame it on the Bravo network, for it's enticing programming. Now, in addition to the existing addictions to Desperate Housewives, Lost, and Grey's Anatomy, I can sport brand new unhealthy obsessions with Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List and Season 3 of Project Runway. Not to mention the running affinity for the Food Network. Luckily with DVR, it's easier to justify my jonesin' because I don't actually plan my eating-, sleeping-, or peeing-schedule around said programs. I can chill with Paula (Dean) or Ina (Barefoot Contessa), Bree and the girls, Jack and the Losties, Meredith and Dreamy, Kathy and Matt, or my girl Heidi, any time I want. That way, it's not really an addiction ... because I'm in complete control ... errr ... right ... nervous twitch ... eyes bloodshot, pupils in shape of fabric scissors ...

Anywho, at this juncture, I think it's important to discuss the events of the season premiere of Project Runway. I was excited to see a German lady on there, and though her design was forgettable, I found myself hoping she'd be eliminated simply so she could beat Heidi to "Auf Wiedersehen." Haha, wouldn't that be awesome?! If Heidi was like, "Deutscher, that means you are out," and the German was immediately just like, "Auf Wiedersehen, bitches." Or maybe "Auf NIEDERsehen." (That's a little pun for all you German-speakers out there.)

Anyway, regarding the actual designers, my standouts are:

Laura Bennett - this bitch is awesome. Not only does she look like a drag queen (C'est fabuleuse!), but I thought her design was the most representative of her own personal style. She rocks this week. (See Nikel's blog for pics of Laura's design.)

Douche Baggins - I mean Keith Michael. The blue dress was beautiful, but I didn't think it was really that creative. He took a sheet, which might as well have been a twin-size piece of fabric, you know? And although it's impressive that he'd never made a dress before, and his focus has always been menswear, I'm getting a douchey arrogance that's irritating.

Kayne Gillaspie - this guy is the Prairie Princess who thinks that because he works in a prom-dress boutique, he has what it takes to do couture. I love the red-dirt queeny confidence. His dress was pretty cute though. We shall see, my fairy friend, we shall see.

Uli Herzner - who will heretofore be referred to as Deutscher. I love her just because she's German. That's all. The only reason I need. Viva la Deutschland.

Anyway, sorry this post is almost a week late. Perhaps I'll have more to say about PR tomorrow. In the meantime, checkout bloggingprojectrunway.blogspot.com

It's pretty sweet.
