We watch a lot of TV. Good TV. Bad TV. TV we feel guilty for watching. TV we feel smart for watching. And all TV in between.

shocked and amazed

That's how I felt upon hearing that Gretchen had won this season of Project Runway. Gretchen. Grrrrretccchhhhhennnn. Yuck, just saying her name makes it worse. Like the majority of Project Runway fans, I am still in disbelief. The fact that the designer who put this on the runway beat the designer who put this on the runway; it just baffles me.

The finale started off with 3 contenders, but in the end there were only two. Andy's designs were in my opinion, forgettable. Nothing grabbed me (at least, not in the right way). And those head-pieces he put so much dedication into, just distracted me. I couldn't take my eyes off of Andy's model when they were back at Parsons. With the angle the camera reached her at, it looked like she had stars all over her face. It was quite amusing. Probably the only amusing thing that happened once the designers and judges were back at Parsons. I had no idea it would be so difficult to pick a winner. Everyone and their mother (literally, my mother and I both watch this show and we both agreed on the front-runner) had Mondo in their heads as the clear winner, there would be no contest. It was over before it was over. Oh, what little we knew. Oh, how much Michael and Nina disappointed us. Oh, how furtively Nina and Jessica (loved everything she said) fought for Mondo, but to no avail.

Many fans have sworn off Project Runway for good. Many have vocalized their disappointment in Nina and Michael, in particular. I'll agree and say that I am extremely disappointed with this result. But, I'll most likely watch next season. And while I'm tempted to yell at Nina or Michael, should I ever run into one of them on the street, I'll most likely refrain.

Having said all of this, I have every confidence that Mondo will totally overshadow Gtretchen in the fashion industry. He'll be fine....more than fine. Mondo's gonna be OK. We'll all be OK.

Michael Kors does not deserve a "Quote of the Night." That's all I have to say about that.

Mondo: always and forever, my heart will beat on for you and your love of color and patterns.

a rocky show in general

So I finally watched the Rocky Horror episode of Glee.

Yup. It's just as bad as everyone said it was.

I don't even think the episode deserves the time it'd take for me to write a full recap.

I'll just leave you with this:




Much better.
