Shalla Wonders... Project Runway

Was everyone ganging up on Keith Michael?

Why do they complain about him?

When Tim was complimenting his design, some of the other designers did not seem to like it (we saw Laura give a big sigh)... Jealousy?

And why did Laura feel she had to "defend (her) man" (Michael Knight) from Keith? Couldn't Michael get the sewing machine back himself? Did he have to get "bad mommy" to help him?

About the judges, I like Michael Kors, I really do, but I feel it's great you have other judges on there. I was beginning to wonder (since last season) what other top designers think. I suppose viewers just miss Kors' witty quips.

Last thing, is it just me or did Bradley's A-line skirt and sleeveless shirt reminiscent of Daniel V's winning dress from last season (the one where inspired by exotic flowers in Michael Kor's studio)

So, note to future designers: Memorize winning dresses and base your designs on them

The need for new judges, so important...

Latest News on Project Runway:


S o far, Season 3 of "Project Runway" lacks the hilarity of Santino's Tim Gunn impressions on Season 2. But the design talent on the Bravo network's reality show is hot, and the drama hasn't been diffused.
One sleek Manhattan mama, a crafty Ohio farmer, Barbie's own dressmaker, a smug punk rocker, a pageant freak, a couple of brainy blondes and one kooky old dude make for good TV.

If that's not enough, this week's show (10 p.m. Wednesday) promises mega-drama when a cheater is expected to get expelled. We can't wait!

Reality bites

PROJECT RUNWAY: Could anything possibly be more adorable than the sight of Tim Gunn walking 13 tiny dogs in Central Park? I think not.
Not adorable were Vincent Libretti's and Angela Keslar's latest creations. Angela went for a woman-teaching-art-at-summer-camp-in-Paris outfit, but the look was more demented, crafty showgirl. Vincent bafflingly escaped the runway inquisition with a hideous black dress paired with leggings. Katherine Gerdes was unfairly booted for a green dress that was deemed too simple and poorly executed. Confidential to Keith Michael: You say you're taking a principled stand by not dressing your dog, as the challenge required. But we know you're just insecure enough to try to sabotage yourself, so you have an obvious excuse if you fail, to which we say: Boring!

There were many beautiful creations this week, too, including a sleeveless brown dress from Michael Knight, with interesting detailing on top, and a lovely blouse-and-plaid-skirt outfit from Robert Best. Alison Kelly deserved to win with a fabulous linen, silk and leather dress and jacket combo that perfectly illustrated her Japanese-fashion-buyer-in-New York narrative, but Uli Herzner won with a bohemian ensemble of clashing prints.
Coming soon: Oh, the drama! Are the Internet rumors right, or will there be a surprise? (Adrienne Lu)
