"I'm concerned."

I've had this post sitting round for a while but haven't posted it. Sometimes, that happens. But it gave me the chance to add on to it, every week, for the past couple of weeks of episodes! So it's a SuperPost, now.

So: Project Runway Season 2, hooray!

• That tagline on the website: "They sew... she cuts" It's like some cheesy seamstress horror movie!


• In the episode a couple of weeks ago, Guadalupe's sketch for her lingerie line (right). Pow! WTF? Most half-assed sketch ever!


• At first I liked Diana, because she seemed like a sad little science nerd ("OMG my magnets have lost their polarity!"), but lately she's started to bother me. So tonight was a moment of (double!) vindication.

& finally, a brief vignette. At one point a couple of weeks ago, I was telling Mena some juicy tidbit of knowledge about a Project Runway contestant, & why he received the old "you are out", and we were like:

Ben: So yeah, I heard he's really out because [some reason that I don't remember].
Mena: What the fuck? Where did you hear that?
Ben: Well, yeah, so I was listening to Tim Gunn's podcast...

And then I was like, to myself, oh—I listen to Tim Gunn's podcast. That was, you might say, my moment of realization that I'd crossed a certain line w/r/t reality television enjoyment.

As someone who knows zip about the industry I find Tim's podcast insightful, plus, I can hear him say my favorite phrase of his: "the poor thing can't help him/herself."

Have you seen any of the contestants' websites yet? I've seen Santino's and Diana's so far.
