Anybody watch Project Runway on Bravo?? I love it!! I can't sew a stitch so I so admire how they take a piece of fabric and make it into something -sometimes awesome, sometimes ugly - but the fact that they can make it fit and hang right!!! What an art! And it's so showy, I love it. The attitudes are so diva-ish, but it's never boring icon_smile.gif. It always makes me want to make a cake - lol!!!!

one of my favorites also, glad to see all four get to do the last show. It is the one show my 16yo will watch with me.

Oh, I am a major PR junkie! I loved Santino and my friend and I never get tired of saying "Andre.....where's Andre?"

I mean seriously, we have the reunion special on TiVo and hit it about 3 or 4 times a month to hear Santino immitate Tim Gunn..... I think this season is not nearly as good as last season though. I can't put my finger on why but it is different.

I used to like the tattoo guy but after watching the Mom episode again, he really was such a tool that I don't like him anymore...he's like that one mean boy on the playground.... icon_evil.gif

And as for the redhead, I almost wet my pants hearing her describe how she will just throw the new baby on top of the pile with the rest! LOL! icon_cry.gif priceless......

I Love Project Runway!!!! I have watched all three seasons. Santino was fab. I also loved the Andre thing. "Red Lobster!!!"

I love this year and I am so happy that all four of them get to go. I have the final show written down on my calendar so I can watch it. I can't wait to see what they come up with.

I watch the reruns all the time. Love it. I tell my mom all about it and she just laughs at me.

Did anyone see Cara's collection from last year? There was chatter about if she was in the final 3, she may have won it. All along I thought Daniel had it in the bag. And cripes....they kept saying Santino was too wild...so he tames it down...then they say it was boring. I thought that was ridiculous.

Cara showed (I think) at the same show that the other 3 did....they had here make a back up collection and I think you can see some of it at youtube. Very strange, maybe they wanted to be safe in case something happened to one of the other contestants. icon_confused.gif

** Every time I watch season 2 I crave Cheddar Bay Bisquits..... good ole' Red Lobster!

Don't you love it when the judges say tone it down and when they do it is too boring! Whatever!

It was obivius to me that Daniel had it, I can't decide on who this year. I really like Laura and Uli. But, the two guys are great, too. It is so intense.

I'd like to see Michael win. He is so good at making a woman look fabulous. The redhead (why can't I remember names when I watch it like a junkie?) is good, but she is too predictable. But she so looks the part of a fashion designer. Uli is good, but I am tired of the print dress with the rope neckline :0. And tattoo guy - he's just obnoxious. After the episode with the moms, I just can't stand him. He is ill mannered and mean. But watching his mom, it looks like she never drew the line with him. Did you see how she handled the tantrum her son threw. After he disrepected the other mom, Tatoo's mom goes to the mom whose feelings are hurt and asks here what she (the mom with the hurt feelings) can do to make things better!!!!!! She should read him the riot act and made him apologize!

Laura is the red-head. I think she is super talented and I love her classic style--I myself would wear her clothes. Jeffry is the tatoo-guy. I find that he is talented but obnoxious and arrogant. He turns me off big time--especially the way he treated the mother of one of the designers---whether he hated the designer or not--it was over the top for me.

I hope Micheal takes the win as well. He knows how to dress a woman to create a total look---hair, jewelry, shoes, and dress. He also seems to be a real team player and a nice guy as well, probably a rare combination in the fashion world.

Their collections are up at olympusfashionweek.com. It doesn't tell you who won, but you can see what they sent down the runway.

My favorite moment of the season- Michael Kors' comment about the big-ball necklace thing Uli made for one of her dresses--> They look like pool floats

I'm dying to see the collections, but I want to wait and watch the show. The nice thing is I'll have about fifty chances icon_smile.gif. Uli makes some strange stuff. Some of it is beautiful, and I have great respect for anyone who can design and sew that well, but I'm glad someone finally said something about those neck lines!!

I'm sooo oooo ooo happy Michael made it to the top "4"!!!! I was thinking "oh no, they're not going to pick him!" (because of his chartreuse evening gown) but lo and behold, they did! they did! Very excited to see the collections that each of the designers put forth.

As for Jeffrey being an *#&hole, I totally agree! But I do have to admit that his plaid yellow couture gown was on point!

I looked at the collections on line and thankfully I don't think you see everything. It will be great to see them on T.V. and on the runway. I can wait to see them.

Jeffery is not very, (well um) nice. But, who said you had to be nice to design great clothes!

Proyect Runway is my favorite show, I hope MICHAEL wins, he's sooo talented. I also like Laura and I think she should win because she has a BIG family to support. I hate Jeffrey he's a mean person. Uly is very talented but I'm tired of her prints.

Did anyone see the reunion show? What did you think?

I really enjoyed the whole thing. I woke up my DH who was asleep on the couch next to me, laughing.

What do you think the whole "Keith Micheals" thing? I say rules are rules!

You got it, pinknlee!!! Rules are rules...the contestants are not kids; everyone can read.....The guy kicked off exercised poor judgment in bringing his "cheat sheet" .

What amazes me is how surprised he was that he was called out! Where was his common sense? Did he actually expect his fellow contestants to sit silently while he used whatever fashion notes he had. And why did he leave the facility unauthorized? He gave the producers no choice. Letting him stay would have totally eroded the credibility of the show, in my humble opinion.

Other than that sore spot, I really enjoyed the segment about Tim's verbage (use of big words), Vincent's "that turns me on" a million times, really cracked me up!!! Micheal won the $10,0000! I'm happy for him. If he didn't win, I would have wanted Laura to have the prize.
