the Flat Screen: 'Project Runway' - Episode 1

First of all, welcome to L.A. & F.I.D.M. ! We missed you Heidi & Tim! Welcome quirky personalities, divas & future stars!
Let me just say I love the model spin off 'Models of the Runway' which shows the hit show, 'Project Runway', from the models point of view where they have no choice but to hope the designers deliver and it will take the attention off of them. But Heidi makes it perfectly clear, it is a battle for the models too. The greatest thing is you get the inside dirt on the designers (how they really are) and you get to see how they were even chosen anyway. So I'm geeked to see how that will be :-) The first challenge is the Red Carpet Challenge with the infamous, Nokia theatre as their inspiration. The red carpet is where many designers fall in love with Fashion. Guest judge Lindsay Lohan joined the wonderful judges, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, and Heidi Klum for judging. Of course, Tim started it off with his infamous saying, "Make it Work" as he had to talk Johnny, new designer and former methhead, out of quitting or at least from giving up on the first frickin challenge because the pressure was TOO much. Mitchell annoys me immediately because he doesn't have his dress ready but the real reason is the measurements he took were ALL wrong. But he blames the model,Yosuzi , being 5 inches thicker - like really? like overnight? like women never lie about their true sizes? BUT, I can tell that Mitchell is already a hot mess and I will celebrate the day when he goes. But a part of me is curious about good ol' Mitch despite my previous comment but again, that's a tiny, minimal , itty bitty curious. People to look out for this season: Love Ra'Mon (should be careful since his piece was seen as safe & well structured), Irina (although the dress was very long), Love love love Carol Hanna and Christopher, where his piece was coined as having "had some bite to it" but he needs to be mindful of colors chosen People to NOT look out for: Hated Mitchell and Crystal ...Ra'Mon stayed whispering, a sly "Call Me" to Lohan. Ari was booted for her eclectic, out of this world fashion that had nothing to do with the red carpet or any that I know of. But still, I feel sort of melancholy because I wanted to see more innovation this season and I believe Ari had what it took. However, the verdict was in and Christopher wins the first episode and gains immunity for his rough meets feminine red carpet look.
