Project Runway, what is up?
What in the holy hell?
(I'm putting this under a cut for spoiler purposes, even though I really don't want to. I'm nice like that.)
Tonight's Project Runway was a huge letdown. First of all, Michael's work was overlooked for the third week in a row. Not cool yo, not cool. He has some amazing ideas. Second, neither Crazy #1 or Crazy #2 were kicked off tonight. Two crazy people whose clothing you couldn't pay me to wear, and yet they remain on the show. And third, Katy was aufed.
Let me set aside for a moment that I know Katy from high school and that I always thought she was a pretty cool person. Let me set aside that Brad met her at the premiere party and loves her so much. Let's talk exclusively about her work.
I love it. If you look at the portfolio on her website, she has some terrific stuff. I liked her dress tonight. It was wearable and very pretty and simple. Would I have liked it more with a hoodie over it? Yes, I think so. But that alone shouldn't have made the difference, in my opionion. The doggie hoodie was freaking ADORABLE and although I detest clothing on dogs, I want that dog and that hoodie RIGHT NOW.
In fact, Katy, can I hire you to make one of those for my dog?
I also loved her work the first week. I wish they would have shown more of the dress without the jacket/hoodie/sleeveless thing over it, but what I saw, I loved.
I had every expectation that Katy would make it several weeks more in this competition, and I was seriously excited about that. Am I tad more pissed about this than I would have been had I not already known Katy? Probably, yeah. But no matter what, I would be, and am, really annoyed that several terrible designs and designers remained and a really talented person left.
I forgot how much I hate that aspect of reality shows. Bleh.

I was super-disappointed, too. I wonder, though, if she will be invited back after whoever-it-is gets ousted next week. That happened on Top Chef when one contestant had to leave the show due to her father's failing health ... .
I really like Michael, in general, but I thought his outfit last night was a little ... bleh -- mainly because of the overwhelming camel color. (Yeah, it *matched* the dog's color; but I would have liked to see something more complementary).
