The fourth week of Project Runway starts with the guys talking about stepping up their game, now that the competition is getting harder. Nicholas says that the talentless people are going to get weeded out. One can only hope. In Estrogenland, Qristyl is talking about how she is the b-i-t-c-h of the show. And I [...]

The four remaining designers were really stressed out this week, in their final runway show before New York Fashion Week. Their challenge was to create an evening [...]

I always get concerned when people blithely dismiss what Tim has to say, because he often seems to know how the judges are going to feel about a garment. I cringed at Joe’s confidence in his design, in the face of so much serious criticism. Even if he wasn’t willing to listen to Tim, he [...]
