Project Runaway

Project Runway minicap

The first season kicks off at a new time (thank god for dvr or would have totally missed it).
The contestants seem to all be kinda edgy, there's too many right now to go through, but some that stand out:

Suede: he of the blue fauxhawk and penchant for referring to himself in the third season- I can see it getting real old real fast
Blayne: self proclaimed "tanorexic", also possible on drugs
Stella: "rocker" mom type, wearing red and white striped pants, who apparently designs for rockstars, pimps, hoes, really anyone that can handle her designs
Some dude with shorty shorts whose name I can't remember
Some boring girls
Jennifer Hudson look-a-like
The rest will come with time...
Anyway, the first challange was a homage to season 1, a supermarket challenge- make something fabulous with materials from gristedes. We see lots of running around, grabbing of table clothes and other boring cop-out materials, a couple of veggie grabs etc. Back at Parsons, we see again a lot of dresses made out of tableclothes, including a few of the same yellow one and checked one. Blayne is making something called "girlicious" and is either fabulous or a hot mess (I bet on the latter).
On to the runway! We see some plain dresses, a few interesting pieces, overall not bad, not blown away. Momentary sighting of Jaslene, but turns out to not be her.
The bottom three are Stella, who made a dress out of garbage bags that just draped around the model (after a dramatic "this fabric sucks!" meltdown), Blayne, whose diaper/dress is just weird, and Jerry, who made a white raincoat and bunchy dress (called serial-killer attire by the judges). The top 3 are Kellie, who made a really cool dress out of coffee filters that she put bleach and dye on to make an awesome pattern, Daniel, who made a cocktail dress out of blue plastic cups, and J-Hud 2, who made a bright yellow kimono with real vegetable trim. The winner is rightfully Kellie, and the first designer to be "aut" is Jerry.
And that concludes projuct runway #1! See you on the runway!
