make it work

burnunitamong several things that piss me off about Project Runway...
listening to these judges talk about "dressing the woman" or "thinking about the woman's body" or "respecting the womans body" when they're totally culpable for the whole culture of ruining women's bodies! these men and women... the fashion editor of Elle magazine? for how many bulimics is this woman directly responsible? respecting women's bodies? what the fuck was Heidi wearing over her little belly? that black/gray/kimono top thing? the way it dangles over her smooth pregnant form? did she "respect" herself when she put that thing on?
the way they don't seem to like things that human beings would enjoy, and instead favor sheer madness. I like Daniel's work generally and he's obviously trampling the others, but that thing from the "inspiration" episode? where he made that tweed skirt and ...that like... puffball mushroom blouse on top?? that won? what over the gutter-water dress?!
the editing. surely they've exaggerated the whole Santino thing. looking at his stuff, yeah, it's pretty aggressive and I'd probably not wear it even if I was a skinny little cokehead, but this whole thing where they've edited his stuff to play up how he's "out there" or "crazy" or whatever. I mean, come on. I think he's a little baroque (look at me, I all like I'm "getting" the baroque, riiight) or something... anyway yeah, he throws a lot into stuff. but maybe it's time for us to get a little fuller, rougher around the edges. or something but also pull in some shiny/contemporary/even space-age elements.
the total lack of smoking. this relats to the editing, I suppose. if all these screechy little queens don't smoke like an AA meeting, I'm a land baron with many bridges for sale. I wanna see them sewing with a fag dangling out of their lips, sweat beading on their brows, teeth yellowing, etc etc. this "stop at midnight" shit is a crock, too.
last season's winner. his presence on the judging panel made me want to open a vein.
and then send the content to the producers.

Date: 2006-02-10 06:09 pm (UTC)like i thought it was totally hilarious with the american idol past star saying she didn't want people singing her song and then the producers were all like 'we MADE you and now you want to get all diva with us bitch!?' and they're all whining like it's so unfair.
and i thought - you assholes set up this total cut-throat shit and set these people up to be taught all these 'lessons' about how you gotta be this certain way to be successful and then when she actually pulls it off they throw a fit? what the hell, it's so hypocritical.
and with the project runway stuff the judges try to pretend they're all perfect and beyond reproach like they've never made a mistake in their lives and that they fart perfume. and i also think it's super funny how they added another layer of competition with the models. like how the winning person gets to pick which model stays. funny!
i also think it should be a requirement that anything they all make has to have somewhere to store a cell phone, a couple credit cards, and 50-100 bucks.
seriously we need couture with some fucking pockets!
