Project Runway

This season, Bravo  I mean Lifetime has extended the show to 90 minutes, the better to do away with the horridness that was their post “Runway” vapid “I-think-I’m-cute-maybe-I’m-too-cute!” model show. Now PR is followed by something involving the fabulousness of Santino and Austin Scarlett, previous PR shoulda winners.

Note: Because of the length of the show and the ridiculous amount of commercials, I highly suggest watching via DVR or TiVo. Or this recap, actually. Save yourselves!The new contestants are completely full of themselves before the season hath begun. A man with the worst facial hair/haircut mix ever wants to be called Casanova. He wears a tiny, tiny, yellow tie. So. Wrong. Contestant Ivy says it’s really the “Ivy Show.”

Also wrong. Other contestants include a dude that looks an amazing amount like former winner Daniel V; another who wears a bowler hat and wishes for the best; some 50-year-old who designs for “ladies who lunch;” and 12 others. All of them have some back story, but who cares because really, we’re not going to know any of their names for another six weeks.
