I would like to state, for the record, that I called this week's Project Runway challenge last week based solely on the previews. Boo. Yah. They teased it with Heidi Klum saying that the challenge's answers would be in "black and white," and they showed a quick flash of something pleated, and I knew it was newsprint. Logan Neitzel thought it might be old Hollywood film, but he was so wrong. Hey, maybe it's just my line of work ...
They had three minutes to grab LA Times sections and rolls of blank paper.
Then they headed back to the workshop, where they got dye,
glue, markers and cookies and milk as long as they were quiet. But
Richardson's Shirin Askari wasn't to be shushed, and all the other kiddies in
arts and crafts were really tired of it. She talked and talked and made
noise and felt up her dress form and asked everyone if their mannequins
had names.
Johnny told Christopher in the sewing room that origami cranes would hold up his dress, but I was immediately convinced that was never going to happen, since I initially thought he was making fun of Shirin. But he wasn't. So he painted this bird-shoulder contraption with a paint that looks like blood, and the dress started to resemble a turkey being drained. Ra'Mon explained his inspiration was Cubism and origami, and it was then that everyone watching turned to their loved ones and said, "Huh?" Louise, making a rare appearance last night, got to tell us her plan for a decoupaged "headline" dress.
Them, Johnny turned into a big fat liar: He told his model Emarie that the steamer sputtered and ruined his first dress. His second dress frustrated him after his model fitting, so, like ya do when you're on a deadline, he worked on a crossword puzzle. What's a six-letter word for bullshitter who whines like a 5-year-old and would end up pissing off the Tim Gunn? Johnny.
