Oh, Bravo, why do you hate me so?
Dec. 21st, 2005 11:57 pmI didn't get to see Project Runway tonight because apparently Bravo hates me. I have, however, been reading about it online and well. I don't normally use this word (ever), but it seems appropriate for all of the designs. Fugly. Just say no people. I mean seriously. Color me unimpressed. Even the winning designs were, um, I don't know. Let's just quote Tim and agree with him. "I, too, responded well to the sleek silhouettes and minimalism of designs, but there was something about the collection that looked very Playboy Bunny, and that disturbed me. It brought out my inner-feminist!" (Tim also says "egads" in his blog. Hee.)
Maybe the designs look different in motion? Except, no, Tim seems to dislike them all. (Am I going to have to start a tally for every time I mention Tim? It's like Dr. Smith and her Matrix or "didactic" fixation.)
Explaining PR to my grandmother, though, I sort of stumbled across the purpose of high fashion. It's art. I knew this before, but I hadn't really thought about it. And I wasn't so much explaining it to her as I was defending the show. Let me watch what I want to watch! I don't criticize her HGTV! (Probably because I watch it myself on occasion.)
In the real world, went to Moses with everyone except Tom, who went to Snohomish with Nicholas. Did the Wal-mart and Hastings thing. Saw tons of people I knew, was asked my opinion on mystery authors, and *finally* found the CDs I was looking for. I take back anything bad I may ever have said about Hastings in the past. In a county without a Barnes & Nobel, it is the best thing ever. We were going to go see King Kong, but I had an icky headache most of the day so we nixed that idea. Instead I was going to come home and watch Project Runway. Oh how wrong I was!
Anyhoo. The fact that I actually found James Blunt in Moses Lake makes it all better.
