[taps microphone and gets in way too close] I actually like S17+ Project Runway more than S1-10.

(S11-15 is... decent. But imo saying that the Siriano seasons are worse than 1-10 is just the nostalgia talking lmao.)

please don't argue with me I'm just here to complain about Popular Opinions I Disagree With

#vent post #project runway #phoenix liveblogs #Honestly the early seasons are just so incredibly mean-spirited and rude for the sake of 'comedy' #the judges aren't charismatic they're just... rude #Brandon and Elaine are significantly more enjoyable as judges to me. They critique the clothing and are more open-minded #about who/what counts as fashionable and allowing people to just. You know. Show off their subculture skills #e.g. consider Garo Sparo's corsetry getting recognized as a genuine skill in S17 compared to s16 Samantha Rei getting DRAGGED for... #doing a skilled and near-perfect lolita look that fit her client's wants and needs exactly #and if I never have to hear Michael Kors and Heidi Klum asking 'where is the sex appeal' it will be a Happy time #The fact that they allowed modest designers to EXIST is a bit of shocker considering the amount of rage that 'where is the sexy' #got out of me #I cannot emphasize the frustration I get out of their focus on sex appeal as a core part of fashion #'what woman wants to feel so unsexy?' lots of them. not everyone is you heidi #(I'd have loved S16 for the format shift and wider inclusion of sizing but. The twins. God. The twins.) #TLDR: Genuinely think new PR is better than old PR #Elaine and Brandon are 100% more interesting to me as judges than Michael and Heidi #(Zac was. [shrug emoji] I mean he was better than Karli #but I wasn't a big fan of Karli in the first place.)
