Project Runway College Grad Makeover Challenge

Coming off of last’s weeks Project Runway double elimination of Blayne and Terri things were a little tense at first.


This weeks Project Runway challenge was to do a makeover from head to toe of a recent college graduate transitioning into the workforce. The winning makeover and designer would appear in ELLE Magazine courtesy of Project Runway.


“Kenley can make one hell of a 50’s or 60’s dress, but that’s all she can serve up,” Jerell said, Which I have to totally agree with. Show us something different Kenley, please. I’m becoming bored with you as a designer. This is Project Runway girl start shining.


Tonight on Project Runway Kenley got very personal when she bashed Suede and his ability as a designer in the dorm room in front of the other designers. Kenley also said she thought Suede was a poser. At the same time Kenley is hard headed and she has difficulty accepting constructive criticism. This is going to come back to haunt Kenley. Mark my words.


The consensus of all the designers preceding the Project Runway college grad makeover challenge was that Suede would go be the designer going home this week. We shall see if the designers were right. Let’s get on to the runway.


Joe’s outfit was described as a total cliché. Korto’s outfit was called modern but professional. Suede made his client look 20 – 40 years older than she was and it was dated. Leanne’s client looked frumpy.


While the judges were critiquing the designers designs Kenley and her mini me were laughing on the runway once again.


Tonight’s winner was Jerell, the judges thought his design was brilliant. And the key point is that he did give his client a makeover that she loved and it literally transformed her from head to toe. Kudos to Jerell.

We had to say auf wiedersehen to Joe this week and ha ha Suede squeaked by once more. If Sanjaya of American Idol could do it so can Suede.

Project Runway Drag Queen Challenge with Guest Judge Rupaul


This week’s episode was introduced by Project Runway Season 4 designer Chris March; dressed as a Viking Drag Queen.

Tonight’s challenge was to create a look for a Drag Queen. Tim Gunn encouraged the designers to be theatrical and over the top.

Meanwhile, Blayne was driving everyone crazy with his licious-ness. Man-licious, girl-licious finally it was like would you shut the licious up.

As the challenge progressed you see the designers working closely with their Drag Queen partners. Designer Suede was paired up with Drag Queen Heada Lettuce. Suede had made Heada Lettuce a pair of gloves to go with her outfit.

And clearly you could tell that Heada Lettuce was not impressed when she asked, “Did you make gloves because you were too lazy to make sleeves?”

Pow, right in the kisser, that surely knocked some of the wind out of Suede. But later on in the Project Runway sewing room Suede called her “a soggy piece of lettuce.”

Some of my favorite quotes this week come from the lovely Tim Gunn when he was giving constructive criticism to Blayne. He said his design “looked like a pterodactyl out of a gay Jurassic Park.”

The other one came from Michael Kors when he said that Keith’s design looked like a “sad chicken, a malting gray chicken.”

Let me tell you who I think are the ones to watch. That would be Terri. She is consistent, creative and fierce. Even though she hasn’t won a challenge yet she’s always in the top three.

The winner this week was Heterosexual Joe. You have noticed that he always mentions that in case we the viewers get confused.
And they had to say Auf wiedersehen to Daniel and it was way overdue.
