Do you Runway?
J'adore Project Runway. I started watching it back in Season One, before Tim Gunn was a household name and Daniel Franco was just the lame-o with the trashbag dress who got cut in the first episode. It brought back memories of the books and books of fashion sketches- or should I say "fashion sketches" I made as an 8-10 year old longing to be a designer, scribbling away on lined paper with my colored pencils. And thanks to Robert Best it made it OK for me to admit I still like dressing Barbies- but only in couture, mind you. And yes I bought the Uncle Nick Project Runway Barbie and no, my husband doesn't know yet.
Anyway, I've been a fan since its inception. And while I will agree that Season Three has arguably the most talented group of designers yet, and one contestant who bears a frightening resemblance to Jude Law, there will never be a group of characters quite like Season Two. This is mostly due to the incomparable Santino, my gay crush. He is arrogant frosting on a hurt little insecure chewy center. Above is the infamous "Where's Andrae?" impersonation that cemented Santino as my favorite.character.evah. on PR.
Enjoy, my fellow fashionistas. (I will one day return to fashionista territory, after the kids are grown and the pregnancy pounds eliminated, and these horror-filled days of stained t-shirts and sweats will be just a bad dream. Just a bad, bad dream.)

um, excuse me, but LAURA would not be succumbing to the stained t-shirts and sweats!! Okay, maybe a little, but the shirts would be cut down to there and the sweats would have spangly things at the hems.
Yeah, I am very impressed by Laura. Did you know she was PREGNANT during filming? What a bot.
I Runway also and love it. I cannot believe that Laura was preggo!?!
I have watched every episode since its inception as well, and I too have a gay crush on Santino. But Tim Gunn is my aaaaa-bsolute favorite.
Carry on!
Ok, the hick town I live in refuse to carry Bravo but I'm thinking of Netflixing the first and second season.
I so love Project Runway. Although my sister and I used to love to dress up the Barbie dolls, we found that paper dolls were a more satisfying medium. ;)
I'm proud to say that I've turned Lloyd onto PR as well. It cracks me up to see him go from watching Ultimate Fighter or WWE to PR. :D
I'm just not in love with any of the contestents this year, whereas I had a huge crush on Nick, loved to watch the mess that was Santino, and was waiting for Daniel V to implode. This season seems to lack any of that sparkle. And there's certainly not enough Tim time.
