Project Funway

Alright, so yesterday I found a codec that works and I've watched the first five episodes of Samurai Jack. The quality of mkv files is amazing. The video is perfect and the audio is better than when I watch it on TV. I also watched the season five premiere of Project Runway on Bravo. This season is shaping up to not be as good as last season, but I actually have someone I want to win already. The winner of the first challenge is named Kelly, and she owns her own store, the Black Market, in where? Why, none other than Columbus, OHIO!! Now Ohio has had representation in the past, but she was from farm country and more craftsy fashion. Kelly was innovative and creative. This year's first challenge went back full circle, all the way to the original Project Runway challenge, at Gritedes Mega Store. The challenge was to use products found in the grocery store and make an innovative garment using nontraditional materials. A lot of people went for tablecloths (fabric substitutes) and did okay garments, but the smartest designers used surprising materials. Kelly used vacuum cleaner bags that she bleached to create a marble effect, coffee filters that she burned, and the spiral of a notebook for clips. Daniel Feld, my other favourite, used blue plastic cups to make a beautiful cocktail dress that looked like something Feist might wear. Now, even though the season doesn't look like it is going to be another fierce fest, it does have its share of nuts and weirdos. This really odd guy, Blanye or Blaine (I don't want to know how to spell his name), made the most hideous outfit ever. He called it Girliscious and it wasn't. He just took stuff and threw it on. I think he should have left instead of the fat, gay, Asian guy who made an outfit for a serial killer. I don't know about this season. I just really hope Kelly makes it far, because that brings publicity to Ohio, and people will learn how much comes out of here.


Odd guy's outfit. Hideous, isn't it?





















Fat, gay, Asian's outfit. Serial-killeresque, no?
