Is there a breeze in here?

Whoa! Ping, you are officially on my list. I was willing to go with your cuckoo designs as an honest expression of your aesthetic. But being a little cuckoo is no excuse for stupidity. You need to use the fit model the good lord (or Tim Gunn) gave you. Because the only place you could sell that booty-bearing dress is Las Vegas on Halloween (the sexiest day of the year, yo). But what has set me off, is your sudden inability to understand the English language. Really, you didn't understand the challenge? What a crock. Michael Kors isn't having any of it and neither am I. Lady, I am watching you...

I thought the challenge itself was pretty brilliant and one of my favorite ones yet. It was clever and allowed some real creativity. Pamela's losing dress was pretty horribly executed but at least she had good intentions. Personally, I would have given Jesus the heave-ho for arrogantly disregarding Tim's advice two weeks in a row. Foolish mortals, when will they learn.

As for the top three, the judges could have picked any one of them and I wouldn't have argued. At the time, I preferred Mila's dress but now that it's been a few days, I agree Jay Nicolas' ability to spin potato sack into a luxurious, feathery dream is pretty amazing.

While neither made top 3, Seth Aaron and Emilio are quickly become my favorites.

Globe glamour

Oh how I love Mad Men. And boy do I love Jane. Did you see her on the red carpet? Beautiful. But did you notice who designed her dress? Our favorite fierce little designer elf Christian Siriano, that's who!

Game on!

I'm afraid I'm a little low on blogging energy at the moment but suffice it to say, I am quite hopeful for this season. Michael and Nina are back and the talent level appears significantly higher. Overall, I can't really disagree with the judges decisions though I personally may have liked a few others better, had I been able to see more of them.

One thing's for sure, we've got one sure-bet weeper and one aspiring pageant gown designer who may or may not have been chosen for his ghetto fabulousness over actual talent. Sure, we're laughing with you now, but dear, you are treading on lamé-covered ice.

Scoring

After a few years of companionship, all relationships can get a little... routine. We here at PR Central thought we'd try and spice things up with a few scoring changes. Ooh la la! We welcome your comments and are open to persuasion and bribery, but only before the season starts. After that, we will politely pretend like we are listening and thank you for your passionate engagement.

How to win
Each week you will pick your favorite 3 designers and earn points based on the scoring system below. At the end of the season, the person with the most points wins! Easy!

The fine print
Every Monday around lunch time the moderator (Kelly, aka lady librarian, with Lora as a back-up) will send you an email with the previous week's updated scores and a reminder to send in your picks for the next episode. You have until 5:00pm on Thursday, day of show, to send your picks. If you do not send an email, your picks from the previous week will roll over.

When the season gets down to 7 designers, you will pick only 2.
When we get down to the final 3, pick only 1 designer.

If your picks from the previous week are rolled over and one of your designers was eliminated, you will automatically get -1 for that eliminated designer.

If you rolled over 3 picks after we went down to only 2 picks, you lose one point and you do not get to get any points for that week.

The Bryant Park Fashion Week finale will have its very own special scoring (TBD).

The Scoring:
6 points

Look who's all bloggy!

It's that time of year again. Project Runway Season 7 is just days away and thank Coco-Chanel-in-heaven we are back in New York people. Hopefully the train left snoozeville on the way back to Parsons NYC because my faith was severely wavering last season.

This season we're publishing our blather thoughtful discussions for the world to see. Please add your comments to the trash talk spirited debate after each episode.

For those in the super secret and highly discriminating Project Runway Pool, the scores will be emailed directly to you per usual.

Faire le travail!
