Project Runway

You all watch Project Runway, right? So, you saw last night's episode as well as last week's? If not, get caught up by reading these rundowns of the runway, and then come back.


I'll wait, really.



Okay, so obviously the writer of those entries wasn't very happy about the comments made in regard to Alison's model... but she's not the only one.

I have to say, that I agree to some degree about the comments made. A girl who is 5'10" and would probably blow over in a 15Mph wind should NEVER be regarded as fat, hefty, lumpy, thick, or anything else. (She also shouldn't be made to wear her own hair on her head as a bow, but that's besides the point...)

I do agree with the fact that this sends the wrong message to girls and women everywhere, but at the same time, while I respect the designers and enjoy reading about the industry...I never expected anything profound from Project Runway. I don't turn to it for deep messages or advice on how to live my life and perceive my body, and those who do probably have larger issues to address FIRST. Then they can move on to their weight and body image.

Just my two rusty coppers on the subject.
