Fasten Your Seatbelts


The challenge on last night's Project Runway was interesting - take a bunch of Saturn minivans, pack them chock full o'random car junk and let rabid reality show contestants make haute couture out of it all.

The non-originality award goes to, well, almost everyone for making something out of the bizmillion seatbelts available in each of the family wagons. I'm not a maverick fashionista but I do know that the seatbelt has been done before. Stuff made from seatbelts is tres passe. However, Korto's coat was to die for and I'll second Rachel (gag) Zoe when I say "I want to own that coat!" The rest of the seatbelt stuff was pure roadkill.

It was nice to see Kenley bow under pressure. I like her but it seemed like Daniel left a little of his hyper anxiety behind. I also hated her outfit. Totally ridiculous and it had such promise when she was making the zebra stripes on the air filters early on. If only she'd 86'd the pencil skirt and made a cute tiered number using the filters - that would have been cute. And it would have also helped the model wearing her outfit walk without looking like she had a car axle shoved up her arse.

Jerell's little number was cute. The judges love it but to me the hem looked poorly constructed. Loved the top of it.

Leanne done good. Funky and completely unwearable but bold and interesting.

Joe (who for some reason I just really can't stand) had a pretty cool concept with his motocross ensemble. I'd liked to have seen a little more of that one.

Finally, we get to say good-bye to Keith. DUMB ASS. I find it somewhat satisfying when the contestants weed themselves out like he did. It's one thing when the judges give someone the boot but its completely another thing when the contestants just have a total meltdown and can't hack it. Stella's outfit was awful but I don't even know why the judges had to deliberate. Keith shot himself in the foot from the second he was in the bottom last week and just kept on going. And then he cried. Oy. Na na na na... goodbye.

Where was Nina this week? I hate Rachel Zoe but quite a treat to have Laura Bennett on - LOVE her!

Word! Keith is a big hot hunky sexy cry-baby who got exactly what he deserved for his blasphemous backtalk to Ms. Laura. Speaking of which, Nina Garcia may have shot herself in the ass (with fat from her attitude?) by not showing up for work this week. How in the F#%K does Laura have 57 children, look fantastic in a simple dress, and have to do her own job AND Nina Garcia's?! Watch out Nina Garcia, Laura will make you into a very bitter stringy stew and serve you to her army of children!

Anyone else think Koto (sp?) was pissed she didn't win?

What is wrong with these contestants??!! What show do they think they are on? And if you want to "change the way the world dresses" how about starting with yourself!
