Project fairway.

Our favorite moments from last night's "Project Runway"?

1) Santino's "Tim Gunn and Andrae at Red Lobster" scenario. Seriously, a brilliant idea executed flawlessly. If only he could get that to work for his designs.
2) Straight-faced judges conversing about garments made from sod. And we thought the ice princess week was pushing it! Sorry, Nina, none of those outfits was near wearable. Mostly because they were made from sod.
3) Everything Daniel V. Which is consequently the name of the store we plan to open right after the wedding.













In light of the challenges becoming more and more non-fashion-or-reality-oriented, we'd like to suggest some design ideas for future episodes (done in Santino-as-Tim-Gunn voice):

1) "Pasta Pizzazz!" Designers, you have until midnight to make a dress out of fusilli.
2) "Fashion Emergency!" Designers, you have two days to create a garment using pieces of either 9/11 or New Orleans. Please use the Banana Republic Accessory Wall to your greatest advantage.
3) "Marat/Seder!" Designers, please create a piece for a ritualistic event. It could be religious or secular. But it must reflect solemnity via repetition. And it must be made from one box of Streit's Matzo.
4) "Wax On!" Designers, you have 10 minutes and $20 to spend at Yankee Candle Company. Your challenge is to create a garment that smells like pesticide and looks like crap.
5) "Actual Dress!" Designers, in our most outrageous challenge yet, you have 24 hours to create a garment using fabric, thread and a sewing machine. Good luck!

All right, we're late for an appointment at the TRESemmé hair salon. Carry on.

oh this post is a riot! After 27 years, I've seen everything. I'll bet that if you said that with a straight face (and were in a position to dictate) they'd probably do it. While of course waxing eloquent about their muse or sources of "inspiration". Don't mind me, designers can be such prima donnas and it gets old so I'm a little cynical.
