Too Much TV: December 2004 Archives

Poo on anyone not watching Project Runway on BRAVO. 12 up and coming fashion designers squaring off each week in weirdo competitions (design a dress using "envy" as the theme) that put them and their skills to the test. The designers are all characters and honestly, having known a young, up and coming fashion designer for some number of years, it seems they're all cut from the same bizarro cloth.

All that being equal, what's a reality show without some ridiculous tag line used when one of the contestants is thrown off? Thankfully Heidi Klum as the hostess of the show gets to really vamp off it. Her intro, right before the runway competition starts always beings with the same speech: "As you know, fashion is about the now. One day yaw in and the next....(dramatic pause or forgetting line, we're unsure)...yaw out. Blah, blah, blah." But the best is when they toss the contestant off for horrible, uninspired, ugly work. Then you get the very Aryan handshake with a firm "Auf Wiedersehen!!" I almost expect her to get pissy with the devastated designer and give them a final, "I said GOOD DAY."

Watch it!
