Hooray for Michael C’s second win on Project Runway.  This design challenge was to transform an ugly bridesmaid dress into a fashion forward design that the owner (or viewer) would want to wear again.  Each designer had a $50 budget to spend at Mood.  Michael took a bland bridesmaid dress and transformed it into a lovely cocktail dress.  His client was pleased and the dress was very flattering on her.

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch

Please pardon my french but it’s the only way I can accurately describe what’s happening among the “elite” group of designers on this season’s Project Runway.  I’ve seen every season of Project Runway and this one is like no other.  Like most reality shows, there’s always one or two contestants who think they are the best of the bunch.  This season there seems to be a pack of arrogant, egotistical, know-it-all designers who are greatly influenced by their queen bee, Gretchen.  After last week’s chastisement by Tim Gunn, I thought this group would dial it down.  Boy was I wrong.

They are so jealous of Michael that they won’t even congratulate him on his wins.  In last night’s episode, the only designer who congratulated Michael was Casanova.  The rest of them just sat in silence while they looked at each other and rolled their eyes like a bunch of spoiled, childish brats. They had their collective bitching session before Michael came in and announced his win.

With the exception of Peach, who was eliminated this episode, I’m old enough to be their mother.  If I was the mother of any of this group, I would be embarrassed and hope my friends were not watching the show.

That’s Why They’re The Judges

This group is so arrogant they challenge and question the judges decision – but only because it’s Michael.  Project Runway judges are extremely successful people in the world of fashion and design.  If Gretchen and company knew as much as they think they know, why are they still unknown and trying to get discovered?

Overall Michael C. may not be as talented as some of the other designers, but he had one of the best designs last night.  Was his design better than Mondo’s?  I think it was but it’s a judgment call and the judges called it.
