Project Runway: Sew 70s

What just happened??!!  Joshua is safe and Anthony Ryan is going home??!!  Now you may find my reaction odd since last week I professed my love for Joshua but remember.  It’s not because he’s a great designer.  It’s because he’s a drama queen and I LOVE drama.  But to have Anthony Ryan sent home instead of him seems sick and wrong.  I am so sad right now.  Anthony Ryan drives me nuts because he has two names and truth be told I haven’t really connected with him or his pieces but this just doesn’t seem right.  Joshua consistently produces pieces that are way out there.  I mean out of left, who would wear that, wait…didn’t he copy that from one of the other designers, the only good thing I can say is that he didn’t bedazzle anything this time around, who is his target demographic anyway, is he flirting with Adam Lambert in front of the judges, field.  I just don’t get it.  I am very upset right now.  Though I should be happy my comic relief is still around I am not.  I am very sad for Anthony Ryan who I seem to remember pulled a few good pieces out over his time on the show.

OK.  Now to happier news.  Anya.  I think I’m in love with her.  She is so amazing.  To make an incredible outfit out of $11.50 that wins the competition is pretty spectacular.  Did you see the detail work on the back of her muslin shirt?  Incredible.  If I thought my boobies would stay put I would totally wear that shirt.  I would wear either outfit.  She nailed it.  Out of the ballpark.  Home run.  (What’s going on with all the baseball analogies today?)  Now, in the preview for next week Victor makes a comment about her sewing skills so she may have a rough go of it.  Or Victor could just be being his negative, stodgy self and everything comes up roses in the end.  I can’t wait to see.

Two people are surprising me.  Victor because he seems to be getting meaner and meaner as the series progresses and Bert because every once in a while if the challenge is right his playful side comes out and it’s incredibly refreshing.  Maybe I’ll pin my comic relief hopes on Bert from now on since I’m so mad at Joshua for sticking around.  Bert is a dirty little devil and it’s cracking me up.  He’s so cantankerous all the time that when he lightens up it really brings a smile to my face.  Keep it up Bert.  Let your light shine.

I hear your girl power but I am not feeling Goldilocks.  Laura just doesn’t speak to me at all.  And what about this pact they made with each other and then promptly went running away with their tails tucked between their legs.  And guess what?  Kimberly did just fine.  She wasn’t in the top but she most certainly wasn’t in the bottom.  Have a little faith.  I like Kimberly and I think she has a smokin’ style.

I am still really mad.  I thought this would be some kind of therapy for me but it didn’t work.  I want Joshua to go home next week.  Then Bert.  Then Victor.  Then three girl finalists.  But if I had to be realistic I’d say Victor was going to the final.  Sorry but he’s pretty solid.

Is anyone as angry as me?  Or do you think the judges made the right choice?

Project Runway is on Thursdays at 8pm on Lifetime.  It’s available at myLifetime.com  the day after for those of us without cable.

I’m surprised, too. I really liked Anthony Ryan and am sad to see him go. Especially over Joshua and those horrible, horrible pants. GROSS.

I’m also surprised that Anya won. What she was able to do was incredible and I don’t sleight that at all. Mostly I feel bad for Victor. You’re right that he’s getting meaner, but he is always #2 and I just feel bad. I think he wouldn’t be so mean if he got a little recognition. The tailoring on the jacket. The fact that everyone loved the pants and shirt and dress…..I think that if Anya hadn’t lost her money, he would have won.

That said, I think Anya has GREAT style and a great eye. And really, does a designer sew all the pieces in their own collection each time? No. They design, then have seamstresses. I do think she needs to learn more, but ultimately, it’s more about the collection looking good than having the right kind of stitching.
