Project Runway Season 5 Premiere

Finally, an old favorite is back with a new season. Project Runway premiered last night with the usual collection of outrageous and self assured designers with varying degrees of success. Of course they all have one thing in common...they will do whatever it takes to win PR!
So far, nobody is really standing out as being a "star", and nobody's really stepped up to show how "fierce" they are. Oh, there are a few who think they are gonna to be the next thing, but I think they are in for a rough slap in the face when they find out they aren't cute, don't have personality, and possess minimal talent. And WTF is "girl-iscious"?? A desperate attempt to be the next Christian Siriano is what it is. And, you are NO Christian Siriano!
For the first challenge the designers went back to a challenge from season one...the grocery store challenge. They had to create their design from what they could buy in the grocery store, with a budget of $75. While there were some very clever purchases that made it into the finished garments (dodge balls, fly swatters, and plastic cups) there were also wa-ay to many who went for the safety of a tablecloth or shower curtain.
At the end of the night though, the only thing that stuck in my mind were my screams of, "WTH do you mean Blayne is safe?? With that hideous, monstrosity of a diaper/onesie? How is that better than the "Serial Killer Slicker" ensemble?"
Ugh, well let's hope for better next week!
