And So It Begins
Chicken Caesar salad, lemonade, two cute dogs, one sweet husband, and an hour of Project Runway - my Wednesday night routine is thus restored (I watched two episodes of the current incarnation of Bionic Woman and couldn’t face more, and I never got into Grey’s Anatomy). Fuzzy kept trying to show off features of his new phone, but I made him shut up and eat. He actually paid attention to the entire show, however. My thoughts? Click and read. Yes, Virginia, there are spoilers at the end.
I went into this having picked people I liked / disliked based on nothing at all scientific.
- I think we’d all put him in the final three, and based on tonight, it’s obvious why. I think men and women alike will be having fond dreams of our West Bank designer, and his dress was lovely as well, though I did exclaim, “Oh, god, a fleurchon!” when I saw it. Prediction: Final three, definitely, early favorite for the win.
- I wasn’t in love with the floppy stuff at the back of the neck, but otherwise his dress was gorgeous, and looked rich. I love that he was comfortable enough with himself to just walk briskly to the tents when it was clear he was going to be last anyway. And I think his dress was underestimated. Prediction: He’ll surprise us.
- I included her in my initial picks for Final Three, and I want to like her because she’s 46, competing against people who are in their 20’s and 30’s, but was it just me or was her dress completely shapeless? It was like a mu-mu. Or the love-child of a generic sundress and a mu-mu. Prediction: She’ll stay “in” for a while and be one of the last to go before the really tense challenges, but never win.
- I liked the quirky tailoring of his jacket, wasn’t in love with the skirt, and still find him extremely annoying because he has that manner of speaking? Where everything? Is a question? And it drives me crazy. Prediction: Will eventually learn how to make declarative statements.
- Elisa, whom I referred to as Grass Stain Girl throughout the episode…clearly she should have gone to sleep before attaching the vast array of butt-lint to the end of her dress. (The color was pretty.) I bet she’s one of those vegetarians who orders meat at restaurants “to be polite.” There’s just something…off…about her. Prediction: She will go postal and stab someone with scissors, then use their bloody clothing in a dress and call it “visceral tie-dye.”
- Simone, hon, did you watch the first three seasons? If so, you’d have learned you can be either boring or have poor construction, but not both. You let me down. OUT!
