Auf Wiedersehen Blayne

Another Wednesday, another Project Runway. I guess we all knew Blayne's time was running out & last week he got the big Auf Wiedersehen from Heidi. And an unfortunate reference to his model "pooping fabric" from Michael Kors.

Hmmmm, ok, I have to agree the Libra-inspired number he designed for his last challenge was truly hideous, completely unwearable, and made no sense whatsoever. He probably deserved to go.

But you have to hand it to the guy: he's really young, he's from Yakima for god's sake, and the fact that he got on a national TV show in the first place is pretty amazing. He had to have a certain amount of talent just to be able to complete the challenges, especially within the time constraints these designers are always given. And he actually lasted a few weeks: he was entertaining, had a cute little dimple, was perpetually tan, and I think he more than charmed Tim Gunn with his wierd little sayings. (Do you think Tim had a crush on him? I wonder...)So you have to wish him well, hope he gets it together, gets a nice break from someone somewhere, and gets to quit pouring lattes in Seattle and get on with his career.


As for tonight: first of all, what was the wierd thing Jerrell was wearing on his head? He looked like an Adam who escaped from Eden, turned gay, and put all his fig leaves in the wrong place.

The outfit he designed was very cool tho, & he deserved a win. Maybe the fig leaf hat was good luck.

But why did they like Kenley's little floral Easter dress with the belt in the wrong place and the dorky brown jacket/vest/whatever-it-was-supposed-to-be? That was just plain wrong.

And poor Joe. Loved him, but he deserved to go for that idiotic '80's biz suit. What was he thinking? Get in the 00's, Joe. Yikes.
