My thighs take over Manhattan...


What's more frightening: the Cloverfield monster, or that it's only mid-January and my thighs have gotten marshmallow-y enough that my friends could feed off of them if the world really did end...?

So Fierce

So what was probably the best episode of this season's Project Runway aired last night, which is such a relief because the first couple of episodes were such a bore. I thought that the avant-garde project just produced such great results, considering there were only four different looks (excluding the everyday looks, which were pretty much just throwaways except for team christian/chris).



So far i this season i've been very blah about the clothes - the only reason i've stuck with the show for season four is basically because i looove christian and chris. And of course to my delight last night they were paired up as a team to make an avant-garde look, which produced some very spectacular results.


I also equally loved Jillian and Victorya's avant-garde jacket; it so made the look and just showed how a really great coat can create a whole look on its own. they were very creative for being the only team to come up with a look that wasnt a dress, and it was all executed very well when the model unbuttoned it at the end of the runway to reveal an incredibly well made blouse (although i didnt think it was very avant-garde), and it didn't even matter that those pants were horrendous and the second look was so last minute thrown together. I waited the whole season for looks like this, and was able to breath a nice sigh of relief when that glorious look walked down the runway. It's just too bad that there weren't more like it.
I didn't even realize that there are only six contestants left now, which is a big thing, because now it starts to get serious. I remember last season around this time is when Angela and Jeffrey were starting to be at each other's throats after that mom challenge, and it was all claws afterwards even until the very last episode between Laura and Jeffrey. It doesn't look yet as if there is a super huge antagonist this season, i know they've tried to portray Victorya as a villian, but really she just seems to be this type A person who just can't work in a team because she is only comfortable with having things go her way, as we saw between her and Jillian last night when they had to flip a coin because they both were unwilling to give in to letting the other be team leader (hilarious).


The only "villain" i think might emerge from these final six is Rami - they way he treated Sweet Pea in this last challenge was very unneccessary. It seems that he has the same kind of ego that Jeffrey and Santino of season's past had that was so conflicting with the other contestants and viewers that kept them all from being a fan favorite even thought they were all incredibly talented in their own respects.

All in all, no one has really butted heads with each other, everyone just seems to be holding their own heads and stressing out. It'll be interesting to see what new stresses are coming next week. My predictions are that ricky is to be booted off next - he has to be, has has failed to show a single strong piece at all, and i think the judges are just waiting to pounce on him next.
