Project Runway 4 - Episode 10

This is the episode dedicated to all of the straight guys who are forced to watch the with their wives, girlfriends or girl they're trying to nail.


You got to keep your audience happy.

But before I get to my thoughts of the shows, I have some sad news. I must report that the word "fierce" is now dead due to overuse. It has been utter so many times during the season that the word has lost all meaning. Now with Tim Gunn is saying it, you know the word has to die.

You will be missed.

The Challenge:

Create an outfit for the WWE Divas to wear in the ring
The designers head to Spandex House for the materials needed for this challenge.


This makes me laugh for a couple of reasons:

1) just the notion of store with nothing but spandex.
2) the lack of creativity of the name.
3) that thought Mood being too classy to carry spandex in their inventory.

All the designers meet with clients and Sweet P had the hardest time with her WWE Diva, Candice Michelle. This is how Candice describes her style:

"It's the classy sexpot, you know. To the whore sexpot."
Great ... now the word classy has lost all meaning now. I mean, can she really use the word classy wearing that outfit? Or doing this:


Klassy, yes. Classy, no. I say this but Candice is not completely delusional. During her fitting with Sweet P she made this comment:


"...I could buy this at the stripper store, just the boy shorts and the top."
I wasn't sure if it's called The Stripper Store, or just a general term for a place to get trashy clothes. I Googled "the stripper store" and I found a website called the Stripper Zone (obviously NSFW). It's basically like Office Depot for strippers. Doesn't it look like Candice is trying to lead Sweet P to the Champagne Room for a "private dance". No sex in the champagne room, Candice.

The show managed to work in a promotional tie-in with Blockbuster for their online movie rentals.


And it is totally natural looking. Not staged at all. I was kind of disappointed with Jillian shilling products for Blockbuster, because the service is horrible. But all was forgiven when I saw this:


Awesome. It's graceful, yet deadly.

Results:

Winner: Chris, Auf'd: Ricky, My Fav: Christian
I don't know how Sweet P avoided elimination because her final garment was straight-up stripper wear. I mean, the girl was wearing clear stripper heels and look at that hair and makeup.


Instead of being on Project Runway, she should be on HBO's Cathouse and working at the Moonlite BunnyRanch.

While I am on the topic of strippers, when the girls were coming down the runway I had this thought: if the WWE Divas were strippers, what song would they strip to?

Kristal


Song: "P*ssy Control" or "319" by Prince

Michelle


Song: "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake

Layla


Song: "Hot in Herre" by Nelly

Maria (stripper Lara Croft?)


Song: "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles

Candice


Song: "Sex Shooter" by Apollonia 6 or "Nasty Girl" by Vanity 6

Torrie


Song: "Barbie Girl" by Aqua

What would you choose?

I never been to a (straight) strip club but this is the music I imagine they would play. But it's moot, because they are wrestlers:


...not, strippers?

Ricky was auf'd, but you knew he was going within the first three minutes of the show.


"Even though I won, it doesn't really feel like it's gained respect by most of the people. But help me to realize, who cares what people say. Just keep doing this."
And oddly enough, I didn't hate his garment and he shouldn't have gone home because of this challenge. Also, the one time it would have been perfectly acceptable for Ricky to open up the flood-gates and allow the tears to flow, he doesn't.

Ricky, if I had my way you would have gone episodes ago ... but, thanks for the tears.

I will leave with this. During the critique of Rami's design Heidi had this to say:

"She definitely stood out because of the color. It was so pink, her hair is so blonde, and boobs are SO BIG. She got was she wanted, but not in a good way."
If you partly overheard this conversation, starting with "her hair is so blonde...", what would you think they were talking about?


Easy there, Heidi. I am not trying to pick a fight. I just making an observation.
