Slog - Comments on West Seattle Barista Storms Project Runway! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/west_seattle_barista_storms_project_runw Slog tipstress Stephanie alerted me to the breaking news and ongoing coverage at WestSeattleBlog: We mentioned this earlier in the middle of a multi-topic post—and clearly we erred in not making it banner news: Blayne the barista, who’s worked at Hotwire Coffee for 2 1/2 years, made it to the popular cable-TV reality show Project Runway and is taping now for the season that starts next month. It is not a lie to declare this super-exciting. (Thanks to WSB and Hotwire boss/shooter of the above photograph Lora Lewis.)...

The show starts next week!

Is that the MMO where you create avatars to sit in gothy rooms to discuss Sartre with other pr0n fetishists?

Nonetheless, thanks for the re-link.

The REAL news - why hasn't the contestant list been OFFICIALLY announced? When we first heard the scoop from Lora, we went back and noticed that the preceding season's lineup had been announced more than a month ahead of time. Now we're days away and still no official word. Some suggest it's because Bravo's losing PR and wants to pretend it's not happening. Hmm. Now THAT sounds like a Slogvestigation.
