I'm diving into mass media for Spring semester 2010 at Metropolitan State College of Denver. I'll take a critical look at as many types of mass media as I can and write about them here. This is for my JRN 1010 project.

One day in fashion you're in and the next day you're out.

Seth Aaron Henderson is aggrivating the other designers.  He is singing and making noise, just for the sake of making noise, adding to the tension in the design studio.  Mila Hermanovski is making comments about the color choices some of the designers have chosen for the current project.  There is plenty of anxiety and subdued chaos as they all compete for the largest award in Project Runway history.

As if it weren't enough that the dress you are designing is for model, producer, singer, actor, television host, Heidi Klum, the winning designer's creation will be modeled by Heidi on the April cover of Mary Claire magazine!

How did I get sucked into this show?  Sure, I have heard plenty about it among all the Gay people in my life, but usually something like this would not be my, eh, thing.  I degress.  I am actually starting to enjoy this.

Janeane Marie Ceccanti is a train wreck in the design studio.  She is second guessing herself and has lost faith in her abilities.  When a concerned Tim Gunn told her, "I don't want this to look like clown clothes.",  I thought she was going to cry.  Tim leaves the evening visit to the design studio reluctant, seeing nothing impressive. 

Shorts, Anna (Lynett)?  Really?  I do not pretend to be a designer or know anything about making clothes, but shorts for Heidi Klum on the cover of Marie Claire does not sound like a good idea to me.  Anthony Williams admits he doesn't know what he is doing but I like his the best. 
They all line up for the runway display and the cuts are made.  As predicted, Anna's creation is a complete nightmare and obviously not received very well by the judges.  A side note here:  It was at this point in viewing Project Runway that I realized that Heidi Klum is more than just the model who will appear on the cover of Marie Claire.  She is the host of the show!  Again, this is a show I have never seen. 

My prediction is Anthony's dress works for the cover.  Let's just see if I am right.  My second pick is Ben Chumra's.  Anna or Janeane are gone. 

Moments later:
Anthony!  I was right!  Anna's Out!  I'm good at this.  She made shorts and a camisole, for Godsakes.  Not fashion forward, I say.
