Its back!! Finally! Project Runway, aka "The Best Show Ever", is back on! Last night's premiere was awesome! BTW, if you haven't seen it and you don't want to know what happens you should stop reading right now...OK, so, I am so pumped that (almost) everyone on this season is pretty much already a bad-ass. Like Wesley- who interned for Marc Jacobs, or Kelli- who owns he own boutique. Love them. My favorite so far is Kenley- I loved her Grocery store get-up and her pin-up red lipstick and headbands style. I loved her dress so much- she really should have gotten higher marks...
Kenley's design- My favorite!

My other favorites were Kelli- who won. This was a seriously adorable dress made from vacuum bags for heavens sake! And, she used the spiral part of a notebook for the clasps in the back- genius.

I also loved Korto's gorgeous yellow dress- I am waiting to see if her personality grows on me (Geoff agrees) but I can tell she has some serious design chops.

OK, we HAVE to talk about Blayne. First of all, does every season of this show have to have a buzz phrase? I got so sick of Christian (though I heart him) saying "Fierce" all last season...and now Blayne is trying to get "Girlicious" thrown in there-its just not OK. And, this thing he made (see below) was so alarming. I thought this poor girl looked like some sort of woodland creature with a furry tummy on its way to a rave. Or someone who needed a serious bikini wax. Also not OK. Personally, I think Blayne deserved to go home for this- at least poor Jerry (who has a bad attitude, but can still make lovely clothes) had some sort of design aesthetic- even if it was psycho killer meets hospital worker.

All-in-all I though thew show was so much fun- can't wait to see what happens next week!
