Sister Christian, you are motoring

Wednesday night was the much anticipated Project Runway season finale. I was sucked into this show this season, having never really watched it. The finale was down to Christian, Rami, and Jillian.

I really didn’t care who won, as long as it wasn’t Rami. He makes beautiful clothes, but they all seem to be the same clothes – and they all involve draping. This week he brought ought the mini blinds – some slightly different clothes. I liked his weaving, and a couple of his dresses were gorgeous, although the models seemed to have trouble wearing them. However, I don’t understand why he was on a show for discovering new talent – he had already been discovered and was making fancy dresses for society women including Jessica Alba. I totally agreed with Michael Kohrs – Rami has no understanding of color. He always picks a color that is just two shades the wrong side of ugly.

I loved Jillian’s outfits. They were smart and cute. She seems to be one of those HM people who stresses about things. That is cool. She might need some therapy to figure out how to get through these things. Otherwise, her stuff was awesome and I wish she had won. Her outfits looked fashionable, but they would translate to things that you or I could wear. That was probably her downfall – they have thrown people off of the show for being too wearable, and I think she got busted on that one. They said her line was lacking continuity – I think it might have been slightly so, but the line needs to not be the same thing repeated again and again. That doesn’t sell.

Sister Christian, what can I say, I knew from near the start that you would be the winner. You ARE motoring! He may have had lots of skinny pants and jackets, and the line was all in black and white shades, but it was fierce. Really, it was. I loved it. I wish I were 6-5 and weighed 112 pounds and had somewhere fashionable to wear that crap. It totally wouldn’t go down when I’m working in the field, but damn it was fierce!! You totally deserved the win, just for creating those pieces in a room the size of my bathroom. Way to go. I don’t know that you will actually sell anything on bluefly.com, but best of luck to you buddy,
