Last week on Days of our… whoops, wrong website, wrong recap.

Last week, on Project Runway, mousy youngster Shirin got bounced for sleeping with Tim Gunn. Or making something gross, one or the other.

Fellow mousekateer Carol-Hannah pulled off her first win with an amazing multi-textured black stage outfit for pop diva Christina Aguilera. Seven designers remain in the hopes of becoming the next great American Designer. Attention all other American designers, you’re worthless.

This week’s challenge is for Christopher to cry as much as possible so that he stays another week. Oh, also, Michael Kors wants them to design an outfit inspired by one of his favourite cities. First off, deja vu on deja vu, but haven’t we already had a repeated challenge this season with the Wedding Dress Challenge? Season two had a Michael Kors inspiration challenge. Admittedly, Daniel Vosovic made one of my favourite PR outfits in that challenge, but nonetheless, STOP REUSING CHALLENGES!

We’re more than half way through the season. Only eight of the original sixteen designers are left, and from last week’s shocking (to me at least) elimination it’s becoming tougher to predict who’s going home.

Epperson was the victim of misunderstanding and poor taste last week and was sent home, while both Christopher and Logan squeaked by with some pretty terrible looks.

Gordana won for the first time with an amazing deconstruction of a wedding dress. She has immunity this week, the last of the season. Winning no longer means you are safe the next time around.

This week’s challenge is to design an on stage costume for pop sensation Christina Aguilera. Oh man, I know more than a few homos who probably bust a nut when they found out Ms. Durrty was the guest judge. Although I’m not her biggest fan, I recognize how major a guest judge she is. Probably one of the biggest. Take that ANTM! Also thrown into the guest judge mix is “Sultan of Sequins” Bob Mackie.

This is an interesting challenge. Not as costume-y as the drag challenge, but still an element of grandeur.

Bah! Looks like we forgot to recap last week’s episode, so here’s a little mini recap:

The challenge was to design a dress to fit into the Macy’s line of products made entirely of blue shades. Picasso’s got nothing on these bitches! Kidding, what a stupid challenge. Half my freaking closet is blue, it’s not hard to make something. Choose salmon, or tye-dye, THAT would be a challenge.

Irina’s a little full of herself, and also is kind of being a bitch. But she makes up for it by pulling off some pretty good outfits. She won last week, and the prize was to design a dress for Macy’s. I saw the dress she designed. Barf.

Christopher and Louise were bottom two. Christopher cried a lot, AGAIN. Louise looked sort of like she gave up. Not in her clothes so much, but when the judges started picking her designs apart, her face looked like she’d had enough. In the end, her execution was pretty bad, and she was sent home. I like some of her stuff, and would have rather seen Christopher leave, since it seems like his early success was beginner’s luck.

This week, the challenge was a little more difficult, but also, kind of a re-hash of a previous season’s challenge. Take a divorced woman’s wedding dress and re-construct it into something that they could wear again. They did pretty much the same thing in Season one. This week also sort of reeks of the Lifetime Network’s influence.

The winner gets immunity. The last immunity of the season. Very important!

Hello Project Runway fans! It’s Donovan filling in for Topher this week for the Project Runway recap. As you all know Topher is moving to Amsterdam and been busy packing and getting his affairs in order. In fact, I drove the little bugger to the airport yesterday to bid him bon voyage good riddance. HAHA. Ya’ll know I’m bugging. So I thought I’d offer a helping hand and take a stab at recapping duties.

This week the designers had to create outfits based on popular Hollywood film genres: Film Noir; Western; Period Piece; Science Fiction; and Action/Adventure. In the Project Runway world, being given a comment like “costumey” is usually the kiss of death but not during this episode. I’m going to do the recap a bit differently than Topher and just going to critique the outfits and insert random comments about the show. Hope you enjoy.

Last week, the models were the clients and the designers were given another easy challenge that some of them still managed to mess up. Qristyl was in the bottom three for the third time and was rightly sent home. Althea listened to the challenge and her model and made a great outfit to snag the top spot and immunity for this week.

This week, the designers are finally presented with something interesting: make an outfit out of newspaper! Ooooh. Here’s a chance to be creative. I can’t wait to see the final results

Johnny starts off the episode singing “I’m never going to beeee, in the bottom threeee again.” Reverse Foreshadowing? I F’ing hope so. He’s the only really obvious one who’s out of his league.

Ugh, there just aren’t enough hours in the day anymore. The few hours a week I allow myself to watch t.v. are filling up fast now that Mad Men, Project Runway, ANTM and other great shows are coming back for their fall season starts. At least True Blood is finished it’s second season. That will free up some time. So, my apologies for the lateness again.

Last week, the designers were put in teams. The tragic mess that is Mitchell was FINALLY sent home, and Ra’mon pulled out two winning looks all by himself. This week, we continue with the easy challenges. The designers have their models as their clients and have to make them a dress for an important industry function. Who will pull out all the stops? And who will be sent packing?

Heidi’s taking a little beauty nap. She’s exhausted from the long weekend, and so am I, hence the lateness for the recap.

Last weeks pregnancy challenge revealed a few more details about this seasons crop of designers. The weak stayed weak, some unexposed talents shined magnificently and all in all we saw some interesting designs.

This week’s episode was one for the history books, as we got the first team challenge of season six! The challenge for this week is to design an outfit in teams of two for beach wear. But that’s not all, as the competition heats up with the first real twist.

Team members will fight, feelings will be hurt, and ultimately another designer must go home.

Episode two wasn’t much of a change from last week. We have another celebrity judge, Mitchell can’t sew, and Marvin is weird and pretentious.

This weeks celebrity judge is formal model and current T.V. & movie star Rebecca Romijn (sans Stamos). Romijn is now married to fellow T.V. and movie star Jerry O’Connell and at the time of taping was pregnant with twins. Awwww.

And there’s the premise for this week’s challenge. Design a chic pregnancy look. They can design for any type of event. Unfortunately, no one chose to design for the actual birth and we got a bunch of lame dresses. I wonder if there’s any coincidence with the fact that the show moved to the Lifetime Network and that they’re doing a pregnancy challenge. Good thing they didn’t move to the Discovery Channel, or they might have had to make a dress for an elephant… On second thought, same thing really.

Oh Shit, here we go! Round 6 of my favorite unscripted television show. A new season of Project Runway isn’t just an event, it’s a reason to get out of bed in the morning!

Project runway has evolved over the years into one of the premiere reality competition based T.V. shows. I know to a lot of people that may not seem to be that much of a compliment considering the quality of most reality T.V. shows, but let’s not paint them all with the same brush.

The production values, editing, qualified guest and regular judges, and genuine talent on Project Runway all coalesce into one heck of a show.

The first episode of the new season aired on Thursday, and it was something.
