Una LaMarche: An Interview With The Project Runway Finalists

The morning of the interview I was dismayed to find that I had nothing clean in my closet except for a pair of black jeans and an Old Navy tee-shirt. I hoped the finalists wouldn't judge my garments as harshly as I've judged theirs.

Tim is one of the few reasons Bravo even warrants consideration.

I miss the channel when it wasn't ALL "reality".

A couple of nights ago I watched Hells Kitchen, Chef Gordon Ramsey's sadistic Fox Life show. I was appalled by the abuse he dished out. Completely unacceptable behavior that, if it had taken place anywhere but on TV, would have resulted in Ramsey's dismissal and possible criminal prosecution. What I like about Tim Gunn, on the other hand, is his sensitivity to the contestants feelings. Although part of the same reptilian programming, he at least leaves the abuse to others.

They really need to change the judges. Nina is just nasty to be nasty. Even if something is awful , there's a way of saying it .And Mr Kors is the king of basic clothing, so what does he really know about design anyway. Basics everyone can do.Time for better qualified judges. Just because their Heidi's friends doesn't mean they're qualified to judge anything.

I don't like Nina, I hate her. I like the idea of a magazine editor, just someone else. I don't like having actual designers because they could be biased towards someone more like them. If they are conservative using muted colors they may dislike a contestant with strong sense of color. I like editors, buyers, critics, people that look at all fashion and make decisions.
