The Project Runway

Manolo says, if like the Manolo you are obsessed with the Project Runway, than perhaps you would like to visit the links of the websites of the three finalists, the Jay, the Wendy, and the Kara Saun.

Manolo his favorite contestant it is the Jay, who makes the Manolo laugh with his sassy/bitchy wit, and whose dresses, although not always to the Manolo's liking, are both original and thoughtful.

As for the Kara, the Manolo he loves her work, she is the true professional, and except for the crazy pants for the Grammy, her designs they are always good. (Although, the Manolo he will admit that it was the pleasure of the guilty to watch the chaotic evil Wendy get under the skin of the Kara Saun in the latest of the episodes.)

Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. What is there to say, but that she has some talent, but that her conniving/needy/tough/weepy personality it has the Manolo wondering if the therapy of the hormone replacement, it is not needed. Trust the Manolo, you would not want to work in the same office as this woman.

And then there was the Austin. The Manolo he loves the Austin. He is the beautiful, scrawny, flaming creature, who wears the costume of the Post Office better than any of the not-so-super models. Has not anyone but than the Manolo noticed the striking resemblence (certainly intentional) between the Austin and the young Yves Saint Laurent?

However, as the designer, the Austin, he the pony of the one trick. Yes it is the very good trick, but he keeps doing it again and again, even when it is not the right trick for the moment. And, the worse, the one time he does not do the trick, during the challange of the wedding dresses, it is the debacle so bad that the producers they must step in to save him from the elimination.

Manolo says, this show of the television, it is the addicitve pleasure, one that the Manolo he will miss when it ends.

P.S. Many thanks to the Manolo's internet friend at the Bradford Shellhammer for the links to the websites.

It is addictive, and awesome, Manolo!
As for Austin being a one trick pony, last night it was someone else's horse. Today, in Bloomingdales and Saks I saw countless numbers of dresses and tops shockingly similar to Austin's design from last night. It really did look tired.
As for Wendy's design...Nancy O'Dell has awful taste. It would have been awesome if it turned out the dress she chose was the loser. I would have picked Kara's and not worn the pant.
<----looking forward to Wendy's self destruction.

I found myself rooting for Wendy over Austin in the previous episode, which is strange, because I will forgive anything but nastiness and Wendy has a mean streak.

I liked Wendy's dress the best and thought she deserved to win that particular challenge. It wasn't something I would wear, but it was for someone else and for the Grammys, which are supposed to be somewhat wacky.

I didn't like the pants Kara designed at all. They didn't look right with the dress. The cut was bad. They were way too chunky and baggy and dragged on the ground. Considering the material she chose, a close-fitting Capri cut for the pants would have been better with that wispy dress, if one were wedded to the pants idea. Kara's dress was the second best to Wendy's.

Jay's style reminds me of early Alexander McQueen. His stuff isn't that wearable, unless you're a wacked-out rock star.

Kara, I believe, should win Project Runway. It's so refreshing to see a show where people are judged on their creative abilities and not their looks or the ability to consume foul substances.

The only thing I hate about the show is the dreadful Heidi Klum, who DARED once to state that one of the designers wasn't creative enough. Yes, because we all know how creative Heidi Klum is.

Yes! I have been saying all along that Austin looks just like YSL.

Wendy, you are a mean, mean woman.
