Project Runway 11.14: The Critical Path

rs_560x415-130425163000-1024.PR.sl42513_copy

If Tim Gunn suggested to the proverbial hare, “I think you have more work to do. Is this the best time for a nap?” would the recalcitrant lepus shake off his yawning siesta and leap with his long hind legs to the looming finish line? Just how valuable is criticism, and who hears it? We [...]

Project Runway 11.13: Ding Dong! Tim Gunn Calling!

1PRRndC05.jpg

Can you imagine if you were in your house, and the doorbell rang, and it was Tim Gunn? Wouldn’t you be just the happiest person in the world? Or would you suddenly remember that it’s been three months since you last cleaned your bathroom? (Shame on you! How hard is it to bust out a [...]

Project Runway 11.12: Left Behind

b98fa04dc7702ade0f527948a9c3e509-4175

I like Patricia. I like that she’s older, non-traditional and has an identifiable point-of-view. She’s true to her culture. There’s no question she’s a great textile artist. I even like her ululating. Yoo-loo-loo-loo! And she is genuinely warm, kind and supportive of her competitors. But, repeatedly, Patricia has used her allotted minutes to make a [...]

PROJECT RUNWAY 11.11: They’re Baaaaack!

evil-dead-poster2

(Scene: A dim runway room. The Five are summoned by the Blonde Goddess and the Silver Fox, “hats and all.” They are a proud five, happy to have made it this far. But little do they know…) BLONDE GODDESS: Congratulations. You five survivors have earned the right to slip the dead weight off your shoulders [...]

Project Runway 11.10: Dear Me!

pr11-ep10-episode18

Dear Andy Others: I have been reading your column for months, and I need your advice. You may have seen me on Project Runway. I’m Daniel, the one you liken to Hercule Poirot, Salvador Dali and Snidely Whiplash. What have you got against mustache wax? Anyway, here’s the situation: This week, the judges again re-combined [...]

Project Runway 11.9: Oh Lord (and Taylor) Almighty!

627

Did you think this was a show about fashion?   Oh, foolish you.   The clothes in this show are like the plot in a Cole Porter show: the flimsiest wisp of a pretense. What matters is the singing! Or in this case, the drama. [Note to self: pitch a reality show to the networks [...]

Project Runway 11.8: Don’t Cry for Me, Laughing Nina

andy_others_project_runway1

Our dedicated judges are looking out for us. Photogenic professionals Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Zac Posen wish to coax the best designs out of everyone, so they hand-pick this week’s two teams to ensure the perfect complement of design skill, taste and style. Fittingly (har-har – fittingly!), it’s how I imagine a papal conclave [...]

Project Runway 11.7: Where’s Carrie when you need her?

carrie_1976_meets_project_runway

Break out the pig’s blood, y’all, we’re going to prom! You may remember that Benjamin went home last week. Do you care? You have such a short attention span. You may also remember that Amanda did not go home last week, contrary to all the smart money. Many people feel cheated out of their smart [...]

Project Runway 11.6: Spelling Bee-otch

project runway featured ageless

Treadle, thimble, toil and trouble! Needle poke and cauldron bubble! There’s much ado about fashion on Project Runway this week, when our contestants work their magic on the age-old problem of old age, hoping for a Cocoon-like transformation through a fountain of youth. I guess cat sweaters and polyester slacks don’t cut it anymore. Sorry, [...]

Project Runway 11.5: A Day in the Country

Lifetime_Project-Runway_0_A-Little-Bit-Country-a-Little-Bit-Rock-N-Roll_105244_LF_HD_768x432-16x9

Nighttime covers Manhattan like a royal blue cashmere robe. Wait, what? Nighttime? Don’t we usually start this show over sunny coffee and Pop-Tarts at the Atlas apartments? Not this time, my friend. Apparently, it’s still last night, and there is something so pressingly dire we can’t let our fatigued designers go home yet. Doesn’t this [...]
