Ok–total spoiler ahead. If you haven’t watched last night’s episode of Project Runway…..DON’T READ ON. Go watch it. Then, come back.
I had a $5 Friday post all ready….but we just have to talk Project Runway today. I am still baffled that two designers went home. THEY WENT HOME. I am not getting it. I don’t want to judge them, because I am not in their shoes—but it all just seems so confusing to me?
They make audition pieces, go through multiple rounds of auditions and all of the stress of that….only to go home in the first little while. I am so confused.
I get that it is stressful—Project Run and Play was stressful, especially because by week 3 we were sewing in real time and trying the juggle dishes, kids, homework, sewing, fittings, photographing, and Liz’s brand new baby! Talk about stress. And I get that sewing construction can be stressful, trust me when I say that I am not thinking the happiest thoughts when I rip out a seam for the umpteenth time—but I still don’t get the leaving part. Am I the only one?
Michael Kors is right…..”Fashion isn’t for sissies.” Whew.
Ok. Done with that soapbox. Now onto the people that I really like……all right it’s one person. I was so happy for Sonjia tonight. I REALLY like her. I like her aesthetic, I think her skills are ahhh.may.zing and she has some great style herself. But the number #1 reason I LOVE her—-she just seems no drama. Just a quiet, sweet (someone even called her that after she won) girl who is in there because she loves fashion designing. I even read her bio tonight and like her even more. What a refreshing soul she is this season!
There are others that I really do like their design aesthetic….but I just don’t love their personalities all that much. And then there are some contestants that scare me alltogether. (And from the previews of next week, I think we’ve only seen the beginning of scary 😉
Your turn. Spill the beans. Who are you loving?
Sonjia has definitely crept into my favorites, as well as Ven. I am still trying to figure out how he draped that top from week 1.
I thought only whatshername left. I mean, she just disappeared, so as usual when something unexpected happens, they replaced her with the eliminated designer from the last episode–Squiggy. Okay, okay, I know it’s not his real name, but I have dubbed him thus because of his Squiggy ‘do. (Laverne and Shirley predates me, but I saw it in reruns as a kid!) I don’t have a clear fav yet. Until mid-season, I usually don’t know names. It’s only about after half of them are eliminated that I start putting names and faces together!
Sonjia is totally my favorite to—besides her hair, clothes, and fashion sense, she is no drama…ahhhh no drama. How nice and rare especially when it comes to fashion and design. I like her. She’s confident with out being nasty or crazy.

ps—I don’t understand the giving up thing either…

I like Sonjia too…and Ven. Both seem no drama & I’ve loved what they put together so far! Yep, pretty crazy leaving. Especially sneaking out in the middle of the night & not answering any calls…
I love Ven but only because I am in love with that rose top he did for his entry. He might be a little full of himself – which I don’t like – but the man has talent.
Agree with all of you… I did like Asian Afro because he made me laugh…and Buffy was so likeable (not her clothes, though, sadly!) but Ven and Sonjia both seem talented. Ven seems a bit annoying and conceited, though. Love this show!
wow! i cant believe two people decided to leave this week either. to go all that way and give up so soon. im just bummed that i cannot watch episodes 1 and 2, i totally missed them when we were on vaca so i am a little behind on who i like and what has gone on.
I’m with you, I love Sonjia’s personality and her clothes, for the most part. I really loved Dimitri’s dress last night, too, and personality and aesthetic wise I like the blonde girl, too (sorry, I don’t have all their names down yet either). 🙂
Sooo, I’m a little late to the party because I just got around to watching last week’s episode, but seriously…what the what??? Why would you just leave? SO weird. I agree that Sonjia is awesome. She seems like a super sweet girl and she makes great clothes. I think Ven is amazingly talented, but I’m not a huge fan of his personality. He just doesn’t seem all that excited to be there, or almost like he thinks he’s better than everyone else. I thought Buffi was an adorable person, but yeah…her clothes were weird!
My three favorites aesthetically are Sonjia, Ven, and Christopher. Though I’m a little mad at Christopher for throwing Andrea under the bus. I don’t like mean people or drama-starters. I think that’s why she left.
