"Life's too short to wear a bad outfit"

WARNING: SPOILERS

Yes folks--The fourth season of Bravo's Project Runway premiered last night at 10 p.m.

The cast of designers is large, so it's hard to distinguish some of the 'less colorful' contestants from one another. However, I'm pretty sure that this is the gayest cast yet, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Out of the seven male contestants, at least five of them are gay--not that there's anything wrong with that!--but I'm sure it will make it a bit harder for girls to get their boyfriends to take this show seriously (I know from experience).



The first challenge kicked off in Bryant Park (ahh, memories). Three tents were set up about 100 yards away with thousands of dollars of fabric. Then Heidi and Tim say "GO" and the contestants have to sprint to the tents to pick up their fabric. Did anyone else think this was an evil scheme to make the very large Chris look pathetic 10 minutes into the season?

The contestants' challenge was to create a look that described them as a designer--what a snoozefest of an inaugural challenge! Take fabric and make something? Blah. And talk about boring, how about Ricky's baby doll/lingerie dress. Been there, done that. Step it up, buddy, it's the FOURTH season!

My favorite is Kit "Pistol"--she's rad. Christian seems like a little punk, but will more than likely land in the finale. Jack is the super hot gay guy and that's all I really remember about him. And then there's Elisa...what a wacko. But, I am glad they didn't send her home because her sound effects and fairytale land descriptions are entertaining.

Personalities aside, my favorite garments (or at least the one's I can still remember the day after) were Chris' and Christian's. Still, Rami won the challenge with his swooping Statue of Liberty-looking piece. It kind of bugs me how he's designed for Jessica Alba--what the heck does he need to be on this show for?

Unfortunately for whatshername, oh right, Simone, she was the first to be sent home after she sent a dress that I could have made in 6th grade Home Ec class down the runway.

One down--fourteen to go. Make it work!

Love love LOVE this show. Also love that you are talking about it on your blog. I heart gay men designers. That wacko hippy chick needs to go. This is definitely another reason to get one hour less of sleep on Wednesday nights.

<3 you,
