Did you find this show to be fashionable?
Television critics have sliced, diced, and sautéed Bravo's "The Fashion Show," which debuted last week. As you have already figured out, it's the cable network's new "Project Runway," since it lost the reality gem to Lifetime after a lengthy court battle. The main complaint about "The Fashion Show" is that it's trying too hard to be "Project Runway." Well, as we used to say in sixth grade, duh, of course it is.
I didn't find it to be as offensive as others. It will take some getting used to, and some of the contestants make my skin crawl (see above), but otherwise it was engaging. The worst thing about it were the clothes, but hopefully that improve with future challenges.
But I want to hear from you, dear readers. Will you be tuning in again this week for the "Fashion Show"? Love it or hate it, I want to hear your thoughts.
