Tonight begins the ninth season of the hit series project runway, and while I enjoy watching the designs come down the runway, listening to the melodic voice of Tim Gun and the squabbles of the designers. At the end of my Thursday nights, I often feel withdrawls. I find myself digging my acrylic nails into my skin, fiending for more drama in the workroom, more of Tim's comments, and most of all the anticipation of the judges reaction.
More importantly though I almost always disagree with the end results of the show. Last season for instance, Gretchen had talent event though it was often hard to remember because she spent most of her time in the workroom bullying sweet sweet Michael C, and pretending to be Tim Gunn's stand-in (as if Gretchen). If I was a betting woman I swear, I would have lost the shirt off my back, because all my money would have been on Mondo. His talent eclipsed the competition, but the judges disagreed.
Which leads me to the purpose of this blog, this season I have decided that I want to be a female Tim Gunn, and I am sure there are readers out there that take on the persona of Nina Garcia, Michael Kors and Heidi Klum. Conversely, there are home trained, and up and coming designers out there that would like a platform for their work to be judged and for exposure, so on this blog we will be re-creating the challenges on project runway. Designers will email their pieces, I will upload and comment, and everyone else following can comment. Obviously, there is NO final prize at Bryant Park, $100,000 and an HP suite. But seeing as how all kinds of jackasses go viral, and create amazing careers seemingly out of thin air (i.e Snooki, entire Housewives Franchise, Rebecca Black....the list can go on and on) I think it might be great exposure for everyone involved. Also, it is like a project runway appetizer in between our Thursday night main course.
