CP fashion platelette Rebecca Grites sizes up Season 5 of Bravo’s Project Runway every week on Critical Mass.
Going green may be all the rage, but what about all the rage? I remember clearly marked enemy territories by Episode 2 in seasons
past. All 5’s giving us is poking fun at the easiest target — “leatha” momma Stella — and then ending scene with a hug of good jest. I want bitter! I want
mean!
As far as designs go: Terri got jipped big time. Her navy dress with a
fringed halter deserved a spot in the top three, unlike Kenley, whose tulip
collar we’ve seen on that runway one too many times. Who would’ve thought Suede
would steal hearts this week with his slashed satin mini tulle masterpiece and
that poor Wesley would get auf’d with a knife to the heart from Nina Garcia, the ice queen
to freeze all ice queens? All it takes to annihilate the hopes of
a Marc Jacobs rookie: Tell him his model looks cheap.
As for the weeks ahead,
Tim Gunn’s comment clips are coming off weirder than ever — and that’s
wonderful. I need to know what a “pterodactyl out of a gay Jurassic Park” looks like, as well as what would make the
master of quality, taste and style want to “jump in front of a taxi” before
slitting his wrists.
We got a glimpse into Episode 3’s rainy-day field trip
with that out-of-the-blue bro, Keith, puking at every turn. Keep your fingers
crossed for bear claws. Otherwise, a puking bro is just another day at college — not another day on the Runway.

Suede is killing me, but Blayne even more so (they should have a terrible catchphrase-off to the death). And, totally agreed, Terri got robbed, that dress was phenomenal, especially considering Stella’s was totally boring (yeah, she inserted her personality into it, but that’s not what the model asked for. She just didn’t know how to do what the model asked for). Although, I got to give it up for Stella. When Blayne was talking shit on her, she totally came right back at him and was hilarious about it instead of leaving and crying.
“my cat’s leathah. the TV i watch is made of leathah. my husband’s leathah. i popped my babies out and they were leathah.”
leathahlicious.
sorry.
the next challenge needs to be “Design a ball-gag for Suede, using Blaine’s balls.”
Suede is such a hot tranny mess with his wanna-be catch phrase. He’ll never be Christian, NEVER.
I LOOOOVE Blayne! He’s so hilarious. And you have to admit, although somewhat annoying, the show would be boring witout Suede. Suede and Blayne SAVED this season. With boring people like Jennifer and weirdo’s like Korto, thank goodness for Blayne and Suede.
Its too bad Wesley went home over Leanne. NOT A FAN.
And the “leathah” quote was HILARIOUS.
