Project Runway Canada: Episode 1

May I start by saying that I am completely jazzed (not sure why I chose to use that word, too much excitement to choose a better one, ahh) about this season starting up. It's also pretty exciting, for whatever reason, seeing places you recognize in a TV show (as lame as that is).

This time around it's being hosted by Iman, which I have to say is pretty hilarious for two reasons:

1. It's almost as if the producers of the show were trying to keep up with the 'foreign appeal' a la Heidi Klum and scripted Iman as the host. Her accent is somewhat annoying, but oh well, I will deal with it.

2. Out of left field a couple times during the show she'll make this extremely harsh comments and I'm pretty sure I said, "Oh snap!" because they were pretty good burns. (For example, there was one part in the show where one of the designers created a reeeally short dress and the judge from Elle Canada was saying that it was a dress that Victoria Beckham would wear. Iman comes back and says, "actually it's probably not short enough for her." Iman: 1 VB: 0)

Out of the designers, my two favourites at the moment are Biddell (kind of alternative and really funny) and Marie (so strange and French).

In this episode, the designers had to make an outfit using 3 items from another designer's suitcase to create an outfit that is wearable. I have to say that I love this challenge (they did it in the original Project Runway as well). A lot of the outfits turned out great but a couple of them were just brutal. It almost makes you want to look away, and yet you stare at the monstrosity coming down the catwalk.

The best part is: the entire season is online which is convenient because I am terrible at trying to catch a TV show for a specific time.

Watching this show is pumping me up so much. I just want class/exams to be over with so that I can get back into sewing hardcore. 4 more weeks!
