'Project Runway:' Life's no picnic
Boy, these "Project Runway" contestants know what's expected of them, TV-wise. Either that or they're prepped from the start to project obnoxious confidence. But it's hard to breathe in a roomful of Santinos. Worst offender: Blayne, who is trying a little too hard to be this season's Christian Siriano, and who apparently thinks "girlicious" is an original term. Don't tell Robin Antin!
And here's the rub: They've studied the show enough to be distastefully cocky, but not enough to realize that when you're sent to the supermarket to find dress materials, you shouldn't start with a tablecloth? (Honestly, I wasn't impressed with Korto's kale-and-tomato collar, either.) The judges picked the right winner. As for the bottom two, it was a toss-up.
But the most entertaining part of tonight's season premiere? The previews for next week's epiosde. Tim Gunn is in fine form: "It's a pterodactyl out of a gay Jurassic Park," he says of somebody's dress. Let's hope he'll be able to be just as perfect on Lifetime next year.
