I just started watching Project Runway last week and I’m wondering, “What took me so long?!!?”  Actually, the drawback was watching it online.  I do a lot of things online, spend a lot of time but watching shows was a literal TV thing to do.  I watched some show a while back online (see it didn’t even matter enough for me to remember it) and I hated it.   Truth be told, usually I’m surfing the web while I’m watching my actual TV.  Killing two birds with one stone so I just couldn’t make myself do it.

Then last week I just woke up and watched it.  Just out of the blue and I am so head over heels in love with this show.  I’m a newbie so I’m sure I don’t get the importance of everything going on but I am a Project Runway believer.

Like last night (for me this morning) getting those students to paint for the designers and then having the designers interpret the painting into their outfits.  Absolutely amazing.  Some of them were stunning to me like Anya’s feather outfit and others I just shook my head at.

Anthony Ryan’s brush stroke dress was truly inspired.  I could see how Kenneth Cole felt it wasn’t finished very well but really thought the execution of the idea was flawless.

I don’t understand how Heidi Klum could have found anything redeeming in Bert’s suit.  I know retro comes in and out but that screamed 80s to me and not in a throwback, look how cute it is to wear this again, kind of way.  In a bad, completely out of touch with what’s happening in the real world around you kind a way.  I really disliked it.  One of them said it looked like a Teletubby would wear it and I completely agree.  And Michael Kohr’s said it looked like he was washing the floor and then just stuck the sponge on his suit.  Total fail for me.

Oh Joshua C.  I don’t even really know what to say.  I saw what he saw, with the open rib cage and the vulnerability, but I completely understand why none of the judges saw it.  It really did look like a cocktail waitress’ get up.  I think Joshua is so cute and sweet and wonderful but I don’t feel like he put forth his best work  in these two tries that he’s gotten.

OK.  Who is my fav?  Anya.  Hands down, every week.  I love her style and ambition and her cute accent doesn’t hurt either.  And according to myLifetime.com she’s ahead on the polls too.   This is my first time going through this show so I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl.  I cannot believe I waited so long to watch this.

I you haven’t watched it either you can check out episodes of this Season (S9) and catch up here.  I found episodes 2-6 really easily and I’m sure if you dug around you could find one.  But it’s reality TV.  If you miss an episode here and there they’ll recap it for you at the beginning of the next.

I feel like I could talk about this for days but I’m going to cut off here.  Who was your fav this week?

Project Runway is on Thurs at 8pm on Lifetime.
