Project Runway!

Michael Kors has no poker face at all. As soon as Heidi announced they had reached a decision, I knew it had to be Mila because Michael looked pissed.

Also, Emilio really needs to lose. He's such an asshole. And as we all know, you don't diss Tim Gunn on Project Runway. To quote Luke Skywalker, "your overconfidence is your weakness."

I, of course, want Seth Aaron to win because I love his stuff. And he looked like he hasn't slept since they sent him home. Seriously, when Tim was telling him he needed to reconceptualize his line, he was thiiiis close to crying. And who does twice as many outfits as necessary? That's like being told your thesis needs to be sixty pages and writing 300 (a certain someone in my chemistry department). Why do that to yourself?

We love some Seth Aaron at our place. Have since the first day. I would take his shittiest piece over Emilio's best, and not just because Emilio comes off as jerk and Seth Aaron literally seems like America's Goth Sweetheart. (His family visit? A-DORK-ABLE.) But no, seriously, I'd take repetitive clothing that's tailored within an inch of its life over Emilio's oft-sloppy presentation. Seriously, I cannot believe, to this day, that NO ONE commented on his skill level as much as it deserved. Even that very first win, there was some serious saggy tits going on. Judges say, "HE FARTS ROSES!"

To be fair to Emilio, there's almost no on-screen proof of why everyone hates him. He says jerk-y things to the camera sometimes, but the level of hatred for him and Mila among the designers is higher than what would seem to be appropriate given what we see. I can't believe the PR people aren't pushing to get that drama out to the audience. They eat that shit up. As for saying no to Tim, I agree in his case specifically because a) that green looks like pea soup vomit left over from The Exorcist, b) my grandmother's mother had a couch that color blue (and that's the last time anyone pulled it off), and c) you don't be rude to Tim. Tim is wrong sometimes. It's fine to challenge his assessment. But be rude to Tim?? FUCK YOU, I WILL CUT YOU.

Seth Aaron's heartbreak, on the other hand, was earned, and he stood up, but he didn't do it in a way that was rude. And, yeah, he's an over-achiever. Good for him. No, seriously, if anyone deserves fame, it's the hard worker. And that's what industry really prizes, too. He might not have his own line, but he could get a job in a reputable fashion house in a snap. A lot of what impressed me most with Christian Siriano was his impeccable tailoring. Yes, his clothes were fun, but that pocket gay peacock could sew anything and have be neat, perfectly fitted, and done in half the time of the others. Likewise, Seth Aaron. I like his style, it's to-die-for cute and cool and fun, and it fits his models like their own skin. (Or better, since models frequently looks like their skin doesn't fit because THEY HAVE NO FAT.)

Did you watch Models of the Runway last night? I don't usually, but the designers were on, and Emilio was definitely being a dick. He told the other designers to their faces that they weren't on his level and he didn't consider them competition. And he bullied Mila into naming which designer other than her should win and then refused to answer the question.

It's not so much that he is as overtly mean as some PR contestants in the past, but he is so full of himself, and so dismissive of everyone else, I don't fault them for their dislike.

Seth Aaron had that desperate look of being on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I recognize it from some of my college classmates around thesis due date time.

Trampoline!

We did not watch Models last night. It's on so late, and we have to take the train home, plus we were pissed off at Mila winning over Jay. We usually record and watch the next week, although that show was SO BORING last week that we just fast-forwarded it to the end. Could not care less about the mannequins and their "issues" with one another. There's no one with any personality left. Brandise has the most of what you might call personality, in that she has opinions some times, but most because she looks like the female version of Jim Brewer: constantly pulling a fucking stoned face. It's booooooring. But now that I know Emilio was a dick, I might watch it. Unless he wins, in which case I burn the DVR.

TIM GUNN ON A TRAMPOLINE WITH TEENAGERS. WHOSE DAD SPECIFICALLY WANTED TO PUT TIM GUNN ON THAT TRAMPOLINE. If there were nothing else, I'd love Seth Aaron forever for that.

I love that they played Pictionary and one of Tim's guesses was fallopian tubes...
