Nick Verreos Season 8 Project Runway MyLifetime.com Recaps: Episode 3!!!

It's a Party!!!

Quinceañera Heaven

Last night's episode of Project Runway was the "Unconventional Challenge"--yes, the Make-a-Dress-Out-of-the-Garbage-You-Find-in-The-Alley Challenge. But this time, it was about creating a look completely made of party store materials--save for the muslin (that's unbleached cotton for you non-fashion folk) backing.

Tim Gunn showed them the way at "Party Glitters" store and then the Quinceañera fiesta was ON!!!

Guest Judge was none other than designer Betsy Johnson and there were some good, and bad, as expected. Loved Andy South's winning design and Oh Miss Cassanova....poor thang!

Oh, and speaking of loving: Contestant A.J. Thouvenot's Look! Olivia Newton-John would be proud!

Here's the beginning of my Recap:

A Quinceañera “Project Runway” Party … After One Too Many Margaritas!

What could be more fun than party dresses, a new Tim Junior in the workroom, Gretchen-hatin' and a transvestite flamenco dancer at a funeral? Oh, and yes, call the ambulances: We have a designer down! Yep, welcome to Episode 3 of "Project Runway" Season 8.

Where's the Party? The day begins with a model elimination and Heidi announcing that Tim is throwing a party. I assume it is to celebrate that Jason "I'm a Straight Designer, Dude!" and his staples and safety pins are gone from the workroom. Nope, no such party. The 13 remaining designers meet up with Tim at the "Party Glitters" store (sounds like a drag club in Brooklyn), where he announces that this week's assignment is the "Unconventional Challenge," where they are to design an outfit using party-store supplies. He tells the designers that they should NOT use materials such as tablecloth or wrapping paper, since those are similar to actual textiles and the judges do not "likey-likey.".....

A Motley Crew: Season 8 Designers await their Second Challenge

Ahh yes, my Project Runway Recaps continue.... and making clothes is hard work. And doing a dress for a Marie Claire Times Square Billboard even harder, as well as very emotional, as we saw from last night.

Highlights from the first "official" Season 8 Challenge included:
*Emotion Overload: Mondo crying, AJ crying, Nicholas crying (what's with all the crying so early on???)

*Working Disagreements: Nina's boss saying she never agrees with Nina (Can you say awkward!)
*No Schooling: Casanova asking for pattern help...from all people AJ??? (you KNOW "FIDM Instructor Nick" had a thing or two to say about that)*Safety Pinning is the NEW Stapleling: Oh Miss Jason Troisi...On that note...
*Did I Tell You I am STRAIGHT:

Jason had to remind the entire nation--yet once again--that he was a straight designer AND even used it as a "Awwww shucks give me a break" excuse... (See ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!) and BTW: Why does Jason remind me of Dr. 90210's Robert Rey? Just a little bit...
*And of course, the dreaded DOUBLE ELIMINATION came true!!!

Below is a teaser for MyLifetime.com Project Runway Blog...

“You’re Either IN-finity…Or Your OUT!”

Hi Project Runway kiddies! I am finally back from my trip to Europe. A little bit jet lagged, but back! What better way to snap me out of my “Why am I waking up at 4 AM ready to start my day” time-clock than watching my favorite show. There’s nothing I love more than seeing Straight designers remind me that they are Straight (and that safety pinning is their form of “construction”), watching Tim lower his glasses one more time, see so-called designers ask for pattern and styling help, and seeing judge Nina Garcia have an awkward moment with her boss, Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire. May I begin?.....
