Project Runway

Does anyone anywhere besides my wife & I watch this show?

We love it! We’ve been watching since the very first episode of season 1!

Redwolf

Us too. My brother says that Austin Scarlett is so gay, even he’d slap him. We think leather lady needs to be auf viedersen’d already.

No. No one besides you, your wife, and Redwolf watch this show. Thanks.

We got hooked last year. My wife and (7-year-old) daughter both design clothes. Daughter made three outfits for her stuffed yeast this morning. All formal wear; she thought he was underdressed at the wedding we went to a couple of weeks ago.

I’m not at all thrilled with this year’s troupe of contestants, but maybe they’ll surprise us.

We’re with you on that one. All she does is b*tch about how “this isn’t my style” and “I want to work with leather.” So far her stuff is BOOOOOR-ing.

Redwolf

What the devil is a stuffed YEAST? And why would you want to take it to a wedding? :confused:

And, no, I have never watched this show. Probably a good thing if it inspires people to dress up a fungus.

And what happens when it’s underdressed? Does it get frothy and pick a fight with the stuffed baking soda? Throw vinegar?

I didn’t take Yeastie to the wedding, the ring bearer took her to the wedding. Well, technically, I was driving, and I held her during the ceremony, so maybe I did take her. It’s a her today, I think it was a he then. I’m SO not with it when it comes to those things.

As to what’s a stuffed yeast, have a look at http://www.giantmicrobes.com/ . I can’t remember, but I think it’s about a 10,000x scale model, complete with five buds. I’m a homebrewer and breadmaker, so a friend gave this to me a couple of years ago, and it’s the stuffed animal of choice for the daughter right now.

Thanks to Chas, now anyone who want to give someone Gonorrhea as a gift knows exactly how to go about it.

Well, I see! It’s a yeast, by golly! I’m glad it’s socially responsible Saccharomyces and not a Candida. (I was kind of thinking that would be icky.)

Is, umm, your daughter a pretty good designer, then? Going for a career in fashions? How’s she feel about design for other kinds of . . . stuffed . . . animals?

I dunno, I don’t have much eye for the stuff (I thought the judges got both the top and bottom wrong this week). She’s actually designed two dresses for herself. Pretty simple, but functional, and my wife has to draw up the patterns. She also designed a wooden wagon for Yeast today that I’ll make when they’re down at grandma’s this week.

Oooooh, and you’re RIGHT THERE near G-Street Fabrics in Rockville. I’m sitting here suffering pangs of jealousy!

G-Street was the only thing I regretted having left when I moved away from there. It’s irreplaceable.

OMG I love Project Runway.

They Auf’d Wesley! :frowning: He was the cute one. At least we got a decent shot of him ironing with his shirt off before he went.

I’ve never heard of it, but I just googled it and one of the men looks like Céline Dion.

This is wonderful. I’ve been smiling all morning at the image.

Best wishes,
Jerry

Auf vierdersen leather lady.

Here is my prediction for the final 3:

Kenley

Korto

Leanne

I’m glad Leanne finally pulled herself together. Kenley is my favorite. Korto knows how to make a statement but she got to get over the big sleeve business.

My only problem with Leanne this whole time has been that her personal style is so frumpy. She’s made a couple of nice things, but I know I’d have a hard time hiring a fashion designer whose personal style looks a little like college student meets farm girl. I noticed in the last episode she’d updated her clothes a bit, though she really still needs to do something about that hair.

I adore Kenley’s work. If I were a few pounds thinner, I’d love to have that dress she made last episode.

:astonished:

Of all the stupid shows my girlfriend sometimes decide to watch (Sex and the City, Desperate Housewifes, Top Model, Friends, etc), this is the only one that makes me acctually go through with the impulse to throw the tv out the window.
Well, it’s this one, and I know there’s one other, but I think that must be so horrible that I’ve repressed the memory of it, because I honestly can’t remeber…

well, nothing helps the motivated forgetting as well as a few drops of cask strength
whisky :party:
