Project Runway: Heidi, You're Out (Part 2)

Heidi comes out to the runway wearing a bright, candle apple red suit, which we didn't like when we saw the pics at first, but there is something mesmerizing about the way she appears to glow in the dark. Along with Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, Jessica Simpson will be on the judging panel. Jessica Simpson, who is wearing a sparkly sacklike Micheal Kors minidress, which would look great on a tall skinny model, looks like a dumpy ex-cheerleader who thinks she still looks hot.


Gretchen Jones on the Runway. Gretchen's collection is called Running Through Thunder. With each look, we are reminded why we disliked her collection before. We hate those prints, but then we realize as more of them come out, that there's a seventies vibe (or is it the early nineties?) about her collection that feels on trend. Plus, she's even got animal prints. But then she also has sweater diapers, which we can't get on board with. And then we realize that this collection would look good on someone like Nicole Richie or someone else much more hip than we are. Someone who shops at a thrift store and finds clothes that they can put together to create an image, a look, a feel. It's not our style, but we're starting to get it and we're starting to think she has a shot. Plus, after seeing all of the runway shows this year, it looks very now, now, now, but in a hippie chick way. Hmmm. Were we wrong about hating her collection?

Tonight's two hour episode begins with Gretchen totally psyched to be at fashion week. Yeah, she should be, we say (although we feel a bit differently by the end of the show, but we'll get to that). So, Gretch, Mondo and Andy are all having a nice little breakfast when they find out they have some friends waiting for them back at Parson's....where we soon find out they will be combining the normal reunion show with the finale. OK, we guess.



1. The Reunion. So, we'd first like to take this opportunity to say that the reunion's never as exciting as we think it's going to be and this season's no different. Oh sure, we find out a few funny little tidbits like Casanova has learned English and Peach has a gay following, but otherwise, it's really just an excuse to get Gretchen riled up by calling her a bitch. Fortunately, all that really happens is that both Mike C and Mondo come to her defense, she cries a little bit, and then we get a montage of her time on PR. Oh. They also do a Mondo and Andy montage as well. After the little jaunt down memory lane, Heidi asks the designers who they think will win, but in a Project Runway first (we think), none of the designers will take the bait.

At this point, we're still thinking that somehow April is going to be allowed in instead of Andy. We're wrong, unfortunately and the remaining three leave to finish up their collections for Fashion Week.

Project Runway: WTF?!?!?!?!?!

(Photo by Mark Von Holden/Getty Images for Piperlime)Our final Project Runway post is coming soon dear hearts, but for now, we couldn't contain our utter shock and felt the need to post something, anything about tonight's episode. In other words, we'll let you know what we think as soon as we actually know what we think. We think.




Stay tuned..
