If someone asked me a couple years what was my favorite reality TV show, well, it would have been an easy answer--- Project Runway. No doubt. But something happened last season with the legal issues causing the delay in airing, the switch to Lifetime, and the regrettable move to LA--- seemed like some of the magic was missing. Sure the fixtures were the same: Heidi, Tim, that bitchy bloated orange queen Michael Kors was unfortunately still stinking up the judging panel, Nina was occasionally there, the celeb guests were a-plenty, there's a Mood Fabrics in LA fortunately which was familiar, but something was off. Maybe the contestants weren't that interesting? Maybe some of the challenges were lame? As a previously hopelessly-devoted fan--- it pained me to watch last season, and I actually didn't even see the last two episodes. I certainly haven't written that show off though. Far from it. One disappointing season out of six is easy to overlook.
I recently was sent some promo material by the people who do web pr for the show and my interest is certainly peaked. They're back where they belong in NYC and show will begin airing Thursday the 14th. I'll be watching. Here's the cast of season 7.....
And a sneak peak from the upcoming season.........
Looks promising! Very promising. For more info on the show, you can click here to go to Project Runway's official website where you'll find cast photos, designers portfolios, and all kinds of goodies. I got so revved up for their return that I made the following collage of some of my drawings from previous seasons.
You can read my previous Project Runway entries here. Here's hoping Season 7 will be a triumphant smash!
If you enjoy looking at my drawings online, the next step would be having one or two or three in your home. Interested? Click on over to my etsy shop and take a gander. And your credit card. :) Much appreciated!
OMG I thought it was just me. Something was indeed off last season. I dont even know who won last season and I didnt realize another season was already upon us. I guess I will give it another shot.
Now the show I am waiting for is RuPaul's Drag Race which to me was part-Project Runway, Part America's Top model with a whole bunch fabulousness thrown in.

Last season was like getting back together with an old boyfriend and realizing the only reason you thought he was good in bed was because you didn't have enough experience to know better all those years ago. It left me feeling icky, foolish and slightly dirty.
I have high hopes for the return to New York, but I'm keeping my pants on until I'm sure.
