project runway - inspiration

toastykittenNow here's an interesting project - designers were given digital cameras, and instructed to take pictures of what inspired them, and use one of those pictures as inspiration for their next outfit. Tim Gunn gives a pep talk, because their last couple of projects have been really lackluster. Tim is right, of course.
The models got switched this time, because Zulema won the last one, and because Zulema wishes she had the bitchiness of Omarosa. Then she wonders why everyone's hating on her. She steals Nick's model, Tarah. Nick, even though I sympathized with him, acted like a two year old who's had his candy taken away from him. And dude, when it takes 24 year old Daniel V. to snap 38 year old you out of your funk? I think there are maturity problems.
If I was Rachel, Nick's new model, and I was watching this particular episode, I would want to go jump out a window because of Tim's shocking description - "elongated marshmallow", "Gumby legs"? Good lord, man, tell us how you really feel.
According to Tim's podcast, he warned Santino at the fabric store that he'd chosen the same fabric as Austin in Season 1. So his shock on the runway when Jay pointed it out was utterly fake. Does Santino know any women? Does he know where a woman's waist is? Every dress he makes is totally unflattering, and it's the same damn dress he made for Nicky Hilton, without any trim. His Tim Gunn impression was hilarious.
I liked Andrae's dress better than Daniel V.'s. I also thought that Daniel V.'s, while elegant, was totally ripped off of some Japanese designer like Yohji Yamamoto or Issey Miyake a few years back. Andrae's was much better, although imperfect, and I liked it because it wasn't quite so literal an interpretation of his photo as the others.
Zulema lost and good riddance. God, her bitchiness was not even good television, and the fact that it happened illustrates exactly why I love Project Runway. For all her talk about strategizing, the show is ultimately about tangible talent under enormous time pressures, and she proved she couldn't handle the time pressure. (I'm not so sure about the actual talent, either.)
