Runway Roundup: Week 8

Last night’s Project Runway had so many moments that I find myself struggling to pick just one. So today in honor of John McCain, I am going bullet style all over America’s ass.

•If you did not see Stella’s departure coming the minute after the reveal of the challenge, then you know less about high fashion then she does (not a bad thing).

•As Stella paged through the “look book” given to the designers, did anyone else see the genuine look of surprise on her face? It was almost as if she was thinking, “What are these one legged body length suits?”

•While Stella’s style was ill suited for the challenge it appeared Fusilli Joe’s taste was just as ill suited. I am sorry but the dude is just not high fashion. His Singapore look reminded me of Willie in Temple of Doom.

•Fusilli Joe will now be known as Racist Joe. Not only did he use Oriental to describe a group of folks (who does that), but he also seemed to speak in an “ancient Chinese secret’ voice when speaking with Jerrell in the episode.

•Speaking of Jerrell, would someone please tell him to stop with the hats! Hats on him, hats on his models, hats on his cats, just leave them on the Bluefly shelf.

•I join the designers in calling for an end to Pantsfest 2008. Terri needs to discover the other three patterns she has in her head. Sadly, her two faces are turning into just one ugly one.

•While I knew Stella was in trouble from the get go, I instantly knew that Kenley had a chance to kill the challenge. Of course, I was rooting for her to fail in her most personally important challenge of the season. Thankfully, I got my wish. I was impressed that she had time to make a dress between all the crying sessions. While the dress was nice, it was nothing special. It was certainly not worth pissing Heidi off by being an A-1 nut job on the runway.

•Leanne does it again. Her look (pictured above) is another example of her growth on the show. Four episodes ago I bet she would have put that beautiful back ruffle on the back, front, side, and jacket. Her editing has improved ten fold and her fabric choice is constantly improving.

Before I wrap up, how about everyone takes a moment today and thinks about Stella. I hope she, Ratbones, and her children made out of leatha have a wonderful life…and a spin off show!
