When I started crafting ideas for a daily blog I realized I would have to create some theme days that would allow me a pre-assigned topic. On weekends it would be the Point Game and on Wednesday’s it would be New Release Extravaganza. I intended to write about the new releases on DVD and music that I picked up and/or recommended. Now as I wake up and write my first New Release Extravaganza column I’ve come to a horrible realization; nothing new or any interest came out yesterday. No releases=No column. My predicament made me think…what would Santino do?
Who’s Santino? Probably the most consistently entertaining reality TV star since the crazy widowed Jesus family from last fall’s Amazing Race. Santino can be found on my latest guilty reality pleasure, Project Runway. Let me be upfront in saying I know little to nothing about fashion, especially women’s fashion, yet I find this show pretty captivating. It certainly has all the prerequisites for a successful show:
Interesting Challenges (design an outfit with the clothes of your back, get out!)
Super Hot Host (even though she’s preggers)
Holeyer Than Thou Judges (not sure what the second judge lady actually does but is high fashion really wearing a wife beater on TV every week?)
Minority Stereotypes (the whole spectrum of gay stereotypes plus the obligatory bitchey black woman thrown in for good measure)
Contestants You Want to Cheer For (really the remaining cast all have a likeable quality but I’m hoping for Chloe or Daniel)
Contestants You Love to Hate (Marla, the English lady, the first season reject, and Zulema please just sew your outfit in a competent fashion and stop whining)
So what would Santino do faced with my dilemma? He’d probably make some snarky comments and put together a column on whatever he had in front of him in a haphazard yet slightly effective way. In my case that’s a rerun of Project Runway.
Slightly effective.
