Words fail to express the excitement of seeing this show back on television. As I googled "Project Runway" to find pictures to post, I noticed that critics are less than thrilled with the season 4 opener, but I disagree (note: I reserve the right to change my mind if consequent episodes prove to be a suck-fest. Everyone knows that a good tv show can quickly go sour. Case in point, Grey's Anatomy. Moving on...). Here are a few reasons I enjoyed tonight's hour of viewing bliss:
1. Heidi Klum. Tyra really needs to take a lesson on how to look like a model. Heidi always has flawless makeup, perfect hair, and an outfit that is cutting-edge yet not tacky. Ms. Banks has somehow managed to film 8 cycles of ANTM without mastering these concepts...2. ...and the rest of the Judges Panel. Michael Kors is always witty and honest without being overly rude, Nina Garcia is constantly unimpressed (which I love), and Tim Gunn, though not technically a judge, is always dead on. Seriously, the man is a class act from head to toe. Plus, the guest judges are always a treat- could Monique Lhuillier be any more adorable?
3. Nutty Artsy Folk. I love 'em. Homegirl rubs her silk on the grass to "imbibe the earth" in her work, sews on herself instead of the dressform, finishes 2 hours early and takes a nap while everyone else is frantically finishing, and creates a dress with a massive train that, according to Heidi, looks like the dress is pooping fabric. She is all kinds of crazy, yet they keep her around for the same reason that damn Vincent stuck around for so long last season: pure entertainment.
4. The Work. The contestants are much more experienced than they have been in previous seasons, which is fun to watch. No more Fashion Design 101 projects (I hope).
If you haven't set a season pass for this show on your tivo, do so immediately. I have a few favorites picked out so far, but I am keeping my mouth shut until I have seen a bit more of their work. Get excited for my weekly recaps :)

Jealous. I wish I would watch it here in the Barlow. Guess I will get an iTunes pass.
I just set a season pass for this show last night!!!! I can't wait to watch. I don't know when I'll find the time. But I definitely need to ditch McDreamy. I think that every week but continue to watch it. I hate myself for doing so.
I upgraded our package specifically for this show! I love it all. Let's hope season 4 can "make it work"!
I think my favorite part of this post is its title. I hate that song in those stupid commercials... Seriously hilarious! And I am now inspired to watch the occasional Project Runway. :)
