Slog - Comments on Last Night on Television http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/last_night_on_television It has been brought to my attention that a new season of Project Runway began last night. I am housesitting for a friend who has a huge and glorious backyard garden but no cable TV, and so I didn't see it myself. (It's waiting at home on TiVo.) But I've been informed (in the comments to my Mamma Mia! post) that our West Seattle homeboy contestant is laboring underneath a garish spray tan (how I love ya how I love ya, my dear ol' Yammy!) and is angling to lodge the term "girlicious" in the nation's vocabulary. Please continue...

He is BEYOND obnoxious, even if he is from Seattle.

It's sad. Also, I know there's only been one challenge but what he made was not an outfit by any stretch of the imagination. Unless you are the retarded version of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

That's not a spoiler, is it?

And since he worked for Marc Jacobs I doubt he'd mind.

He's phrase should be "do I look orange-licious." Or Mr. fake and bake.

Didja notice that the contestants all seem to come in identical pairs? Two Bettie Page rockabilly chicks, two grey Portland indie craft chicks, etc.

I won't give it completely away, but the winner's bottom half was the most creative thing I've ever seen on P:R. Top half, meh, but below the waist, unbelievable.

"She looks like a grunge bunny"

(ala, playboy bunny)

He repp'd Seattle as hard as he could, bless him.

i fucking love michael kors. we watched his critique of jerry's losing outfit 3 times. "the dress is like a... handi-wipe gone wrong."

agreed w/ fnarf about the winner. i can't believe she pulled off that skirt, but those coffee filter titties were hideous.

Was there a single scene where he wasn't hoovering particulates out of the air? Mercy.

I think he saw Blayne and realized how orange and ridiculous he looked.

Blayne is a cross between the crazy spitting lady from last season and the crazy NY "artist" that splatter painted that paper dress.

]]> Christin http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/last_night_on_television#c1076426 http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/last_night_on_television#c1076426 TV Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:35:44 -0800 Comment by Jessica Blayne made me ashamed to be from Seattle. Between the spray tan, the coke sniffles, the insistence on making "girlicious" happen (give it up, Blayne, stop trying to make "girlicious" happen!), and the perma-high grin, he was all I dislike.

Seattle has a deserved reputation for having no fashion sense, and his trainwreck didn't help it any.

He embarrassed Seattle last night. He needs to say he's from California, because even if he really is from Seattle is is not OF Seattle. He's SoCal trash through and through.

Could it have been any more obvious that this show is no longer about fashion design but merely about how to create a brand for yourself? Even Tim Gunn is just a bloated caricature of himself. Just sad...

Salt Lake City? I wonder if he is another Mormon; the hot gays always seem to be either fallen LDS boys or Jews.

Keith to me looks like a guy who fell asleep in the tattoo parlor, and his "special ed" glasses don't help. That's hot?

But then, I think the indie-chick Craftpalooza girls from PDX are luscious, so what do I know?
