I’ll be honest, I love a good pair of jeans. I’ll even rock a jean skirt but I am not crazy about any sort of mixed denim or matched denim ensembles. I just can’t deal with them so imagine my horror when this week’s Project Runway challenge is like an ode to denim (or a giant infomercial for Levi’s. Take your pick).
I’m sorry but all the models looked like the Glades Prison Inmates from Out of Sight. I will say, however, that I expected more from the designers. Sure they have a limited fabric and color pallet, but why didn’t anyone rock the jorts? I would have paid big money for Chris March to stand next to his jorts-wearing model and proclaim: “jorts–not just for college football games!” Or better yet a denim catsuit a la vintage Jennifer Lopez. True confession: I once tried on a denim catsuit. I have no idea what in the hell I was thinking (perhaps that I was fabulous!) but seriously, it wasn’t that bad. I just don’t see how all those denims produced two blah coat dresses (Victorya and Jillian). Seriously, look to the catsuit!
In other news, I can’t say I’m sad to see Victorya go and better yet that she was in the bottom two with Jillian whom I dubbed “Team Personality” in last week’s pairs challenge. That’s another thing: Project Runway is one of my favorite shows but I just can’t seem to get into it this season. Last night I watched this while reading spoilers for Days of Our Lives. I think it’s the contestants: while I like a few, don’t know what to make of others, and apparently love to hate Christian, I’m underwelmed. At this point, I would rather we just follow around Michael Kors for 48 hours so I can pick up on all of his pithy comments. I know everyone loves Tim Gunn and really, he is wonderful, but it’s Michael “Mother of the Bride” Kors that gets me everytime.
