Fierce Models, Wack-a-Doodle fashion designers: I’m Hot for Fashion TV.
September 4, 2008
Hey, Girrrl, hey!!
Wednesday must be my favorite night for TV right now. With America’s Next Top Model premeiring tonight and Project Runway in midseason I’m in seam rippin, fashion reality heaven. I am no fashion queen, but I loves me some tragic fashion television programing. The wackier the better. Pre-op transgender models? Bring it on.
can you believe this chick is actually a dude?
Blue-haired dress makers who talk in third person? I’m there.
As with my previously mentioned love of depressing TV, I too am fascinated with fashion TV. And maybe the two subgenres of reality TV aren’t that far apart.
ah, suede, you’re such a wack-a-doodle.
Depressing TV takes me away to another place filled with drug addicts, dying children, and old people ….albeit, those are not places I really don’t want to stay for very long. Fashion TV, in all its groan-inducing wackiness too is good just for an hour-long visit.
Take America’s Next Top Model season premiere. What was going on in the first hour of the two hour show? Tyra-bot and Alpha Jay and Beta Jay were just too much. Each cycle they try to conjure up some theme. This year it was technology (or the future, or aliens, or something) but all those those zaps and beeps and bad special effects during the first round of eliminations were almost enough to switch the channel. But alas, I love ANTM and stayed on to see which quirky, beauty would win over my heart this time. Will it be Elina the Vegan lesbian who is a little intimidating or Marjorie the sweet and awkward French immigrant home schooled girl?
Let the cat fights and groaning begin!

Oddly enough, Isis seems the most normal of the bunch. I didn’t realize you watch ANTM. I’m a big fan! I thought the futuristic approach was way over the top – and tell me, why the hell the CW can’t come in HD? Same goes for Project Runway.
For ANTM, I like Marjorie, Brittany, Elina, Annaleigh and maybe McKey if they cut her hair differently (oh and she figures out how to model without going into boxer mode).
On PR, I am loving Leeann’s and Kaato’s (sp) work. I also like Kenlee, Jerell (blk guy) and that other blk girl who does the androgynous look really well.
Have fun in CS!! I miss you! We need to hang soon.
