“make it work people”

project runway season 4.

I believe to date this season has been the most challenging and unfair season yet. last night’s ep i wasn’t exactly happy with the outcome. Down to two, Elisa & Sweet P, both designers made mediocre designs. Plus the fact the Hershey’s challenge was indeed a difficult task, especially with a limited amount of time and limited resources. If my memory serves me correct both contestants have been in the bottom two numerous times. I think keeping sweet p was stupid her dress was horrible and not creative in any way. Elisa at least had a idea and creative thought behind her dress. Even though her dress was not fantastic i believe she should have stayed.

Elisa                                                Sweet P

Okay so let me explain why i think Elisa should have stayed. [ its funny i didn't really necessarily like her but in this case i think i should defend her] Elis’s design may be an ugly brown dress with ugly silver swimies but Elisa put imagination in her design which is very important in fashion. I agree yes she should have been in the bottom BUT Sweet P’s design is easy and ugly and not flattering on the model. Sweet P had not idea what she was doing, she a completely different dress and didn’t like and started over and came out with this disaster. I actaully liked Sweet P as a contestant but once again she was in the bottom two and i think this time she should have been out. But i also feel that it will be her time to go shortly there are only a couple designers i really don’t care for. Sweet P bombed the men’s wear challenge. These two designer’s styles really can’t be compared but execution is a whole different story. Making the design that was in your head is a tough task. To sum things up I believe Elisa should not have been sent home. It might just be my opinion on the whole thing but i think creativity and making it actually appear is more important than not likely a design and make a poorly made dress.

Also if you don’t watch the show i encourage you to go to bravo.com/projectrunway. and check out “rate the runway” to see all of the designs from this ep and see how great & creative the other designers were.
Plus i was talking with my friend Mindy, which we have discussed before about the limitation on creativity in these shows. i mean i knwo that they have to have some kind of limitation but making your idea in about 6 hours is a lot of work for your hands and mind. The best example of not enough time is The Shot that was on VH1 it was absolutely absurd. They would have like 15 minutes to shoot a model and that is nearly impossible to get the shot you want. That show had potential to be really cool and interesting but it wound up being rushed and corny.anywho…

Thanks to bravo for having a new called “make me a supermodel” [damnn you guys] it hasn’t started yet. but i can’t wait. Anyways I’m routing for Holly [ not just because we share the same name]
