Hello gentle people! It's time once again to recap this week's episode of Project Runway, aka Death of the Little Mermaid1. Val and Ivy are Bosom Friends. Tonight's episode begins with Val and Ivy expressing their feelings of love and friendship for one another. OK, we were not aware of that, but it doesn't bode well for either one that they are going on and on about how great the other one is. Cut to the rest of the gang...talking about how much they can trust each other and love one another. OK, what's going on here? Does Lifetime feel like our PR crew has been too mean to one another lately or something?
Cut to Heidi on the runway. Hello. Apparently, the winner of this challenge will not only be winning the love and respect of the judges, but also a big chunk of change. We wonder if Heidi knows what that means. What's the catch? Apparently, there's no catch (other than taxes, of course). After the designers return to the workroom, Tim comes in, with the Loreal guy, and explains that the designers will be creating a high fashion, couture look to complement Loreal's new eyeshadow duo. The winning design will be featured in a Marie Claire advertorial for Loreal AND the winning designer will win $20,000! Everyone oohs and aahs.
Tim next explains that the designers must also incorporate one of the eye shadow duos into their design.Tim warns the designers that they should all avoid velvet like the plague (we're wondering if there's been a recall on it or something) as it is impossible to work with. Mondo chooses "bright" (shocker) as does Ivy (double shocker), Christopher and Val choose "crystal", April chooses "matte", Mike C. and Andy choose "metallic", and Gretchen, the rebel hippie, chooses "velvet". After the selections are made, Tim lets the designers know that they will have $300 and, wait for it, two whole days for this challenge. The designers fall over themselves in joy. How naive our young designers are.
