The Project
Runway designers make outfits from Levi’s.
Let the mass yawning commence.
Victorya
can’t get Sweet P’s name right. It’s
morning at the lady apartment and Victorya keeps
calling Sweet P “Kit.”
“My
name’s not Kit!” whines Sweet P, suggesting
that this has happened before. All the white devils
look the same, so that’s understandable,
really. I don’t blame Victorya for this. I
don’t even blame her when she does it
again seconds later. If anything, it’s
less about all blond Caucasians resembling one another than
it is about Victorya probably wanting someone to say,
“Kit’s not here!” so that V can
think to herself, “But I am.”
In any case,
Sweet P yells again, “My names’s not Kit! My
name is Sweet P.” Even though that’s not
really her name either.
Cut to the man
apartment. Chris and Rami sit in chairs and chat.
“Seven people left,” says Chris.
“Well,
nothing changed here. We’re all still here,”
says Rami. “And look at how much thinner I am
compared to you.” OK, Rami didn’t say that
last part. But I always think that he’s got
stuff like that in his head now. And he’s still
dead to me for being so awful to Sweet P. I’ve not
forgiven him. Maybe I never will. On Judgment Day, when
I’m standing next to Prince in front of my
savior Jesus and then Jesus goes, “You were
supposed to forgive people, even that dick Rami,”
I’ll say, “I know, but he was
such a dick. And to Sweet P!” Then I
imagine Jesus will say, “That’s true. Come on
in to heaven.”
Cut to Ricky.
“I’m trying to be excited about
everything,” he says, on interview-cam.
“But it’s hard to be excited when every time
you go to elimination you’re told that
you’re not good enough.” Oh, boo hoo. Suck
it up.
The seven
remaining designers gather at the runway for their next
challenge. Heidi emerges wearing what appears to be a
unitard that was recently used to sweep a chimney by
Dick Van Dyke. AND SHE LOOKS GREAT. I really wish
Heidi were more involved in the on-camera aspect of this
show rather than just showing up at the beginning and
the end. I’d like her to flounce through the
workroom from time to time with Tim, even if it’s
just to show us her latest outfit and bark German curse
words at people she simply finds unamusing that day. I
have some suggestions:
Fick dich ins Knie (fuck off)
Leck mich doch am Arsch (lick my ass). And this is
Goethe, so you know it's classy.
Das ist zum Kotzen (that makes me wanna puke)
potthäßlich (really fucking ugly)
Boah, das geht mir total auf den Sack, ey (that's
supremely irritating)
Steckdosenbefruchter (electrical socket impregnator)
Homofürst der Finsternis = ("faggot Prince of
Darkness")*
(*thanks, Chris
P.)
The camera cuts
to Victorya looking sad. I can’t figure out why she
looks like that. My friend Xtreem Aaron is sitting on
the couch watching the show too, and says, “I
dated an Asian girl in high school.” Like Victorya
just reminded him of that for some reason. Then he says,
“She had a Vespa. I looked really cute on the
back of it.” That he didn’t figure out
he was gay until almost 10 years later is the punch line of
that little anecdote.
