Ok, so Project Runway. I love the show, I have a lot of respect for it. But, they really pissed me off with this dog challenge. Dogs as accesories? Living beings as an accesory? This is totally perpetuated by the fucking Paris Hiltons of the world who buy small, purebreed dogs because they are trendy, and disregarding it as a living being. Sure, one could argue that these “high fashion” dogs have a good life because they get expensive pampering and expensive food. But their owners don’t want to take the time to really take care of them or clean them and grow tired of them when they are out of style.
Ok, so where did the dogs on the show come from? They were all purebreads, did someone donate them? Were they homeless? What did they do with them when the fashion show was over? They all thought it was so cute when one of the dogs was struggling to get out of its little designer outfit. Yea, maybe because it hurt it and scared it that is was confined by something. But hey, it was cute, so what did it matter?
Anyway, it would have been great if there was a little message at the end about adopting dogs or whatever. Maybe that was wishful thinking.
Anyway, there was some interesting fashion. The winning dress was blah, but I didn’t think the losing dress was that bad. I would have liked to see Keith leave for being an ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING ASSHOLE. Anyway,
here are the ones I liked the best:
And the ones I thought were fug:
Kayne’s outfit (on the left) looks like it could be found at Joyce Leslie. And I agree with Robert. The whole storytelling aspect of the designing is obnoxious. Camp Director at a children’s campin Paris? Japanese business woman? Wtf?
I too agree that storytelling is annoying, although it did provide the hour’s funniest moment–Angela explaining that her hooker dress was for a “camp director’s assistant at a kid’s camp in Paris” for “6 to 12 year-olds.” Good grief! What a camp THAT must be.
