Apparently to him constructing clothes is just like welding, making a 'mud motor' duck boat, etc.!</p> <p>We haven't watched Project Runway for a few seasons but my daughter and I have gotten addicted to Say Yes To The Dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-388106 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:41:04 +0000 Maya 388106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to be addicted to this show, but recent seasons have really gone downhill so I probably won't watch the next season.</p> <p>Heidi's tone doesn't bother me. You have to have a thick skin in any competitive, creative field. I just got some brutal client feedback for a series of logos I did, and I just have to take it as part of my job. Same with fashion, presumably.</p> <p>The drama-tastic episodes fair the best in terms of ratings, so I don't blame them for focusing on that. What I can't stand are the grossly misleading promos that plagued season 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-388086 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:10:46 +0000 Janet 388086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IIRC, Heidi improves significantly in her delivery after the first season or two. </p> <p>I am huge fan, and Nicole, if you ever get that date with Tim Gunn, I want to tag along! I love him. </p> <p>I haven't been pleased with the decisions of winner the last couple of seasons. We'll see what the new season brings.</p> <p>Fun fact: Christian Siriano is from my hometown -- I've never met him but we have mutual friends. My hairstylist knows him really well, and he was the ring bearer for the wedding of one of my exes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-388081 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 01:03:39 +0000 Jonesy 388081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, which season are you watching? I have watched it from the beginning, and I still think my favorite season is the first one. I just love Jay so much! I too am bitter about how victory was stolen from Mondo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387998 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 22:49:58 +0000 April 387998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, I did watch that clip and I much preferred Elizabeth Hurley's wording: "I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave the catwalk." More compassionate, and more graceful.</p> <p>Alas, I found the clothes in that clip disorientingly weird, which didn't make me want to watch more episodes. Also, no Tim G. :)</p> <p>Marley, you're too much. I love that you're in a private tiff with Michael Kors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387872 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 19:32:18 +0000 Marley 387872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE Project Runway - but I am still trying to recover from last season's results. Still mad that Mondo didn't win. REALLY mad at Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Now, whenever I see a Michael Kors item or shoe, I just walk away - I'm not buying anything from a designer that made such a lame decision and was catty and condescending about it! (Can you tell I have "issues?") :-)))) However, I will be watching the new season when it starts the end of this month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387854 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 19:12:14 +0000 RoseandJoan 387854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April out of curiosity, do you find the UK version less brutal?</p> <p>'fashion shows no mercy, you may leave the catwalk'<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6I1_mvVrVg&#038;NR=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....&#038;NR=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387838 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:38:58 +0000 April 387838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just feel that for the beautiful, majestic, famous and established Heidi to use the phrase "You're out" is too much like a popular in-girl casting out social misfits. It makes me uncomfortable. </p> <p>Also, she needs a voice coach. At low volumes, she sounds fine to me, but as soon as she projects, she sounds grating and juvenile.</p> <p>Tim is, of course, perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387833 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:27:56 +0000 nicoleb 387833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love, love that show! Tim Gunn is probably the one celebrity that i was actually like to meet in real life (i'm not a big starstruck type person i guess). And if i did meet him i would without a doubt take him to Red Lobster. :D</p> <p>Heidi i could take or leave. Her attitude grates on me sometimes. But i love Micheal Kors who can obviously be a lot more harsh...his comments are just so funny. XD </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387830 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:18:13 +0000 greenglove 387830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April,<br /> You are much too polite to ever get used to Heidi's tone. It does get to seem much less harsh and more expected as the season's move on. I love watching- they are very creative! </p> <p>Tim Gunn is wonderful- his critiques are always constructive. He is never rude, always encouraging and demanding at the same time. Good for a teacher to learn from! </p> <p>"Make it work" is better than "You're out". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387811 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:40:25 +0000 lyn* 387811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoy Project Runway a lot ... it's inspired me to think about funky things and having fun with fashion. I don't much like the drama. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387767 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:20:54 +0000 lynne 387767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I DVR it, too, and can get through an episode in my half hour treadmill routine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387757 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:09:36 +0000 MNsara 387757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that the one with Tim Gunn? Once I got used to him, I really enjoyed him and the way he tries to keep decorum in the midst of these loose cannon designers ;-)</p> <p>I've only watched one season, though, maybe Season 5, and it was on DVD so I could FF thru the tedious recaps and bits. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387756 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:07:52 +0000 Anonymous 387756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You get used to "you're out" after about the 5th season.</p> <p>I wish they would focus less on the drama and more on the clothes and the design process. Although I do enjoy the drama..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-exposure-to-project-runway-not-sure-i-can-take-it#post-387750 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:01:16 +0000 April 387750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pile of freshly washed curtains to iron and the Style network is running a Project Runway marathon, so I have seen my first few episodes ever. I have to say, I'm having trouble adjusting to "you're out" routine. It just seems unnecessarily mean to put it that way.</p> <p>I notice, however, that I'm still watching... </p>
