Episode One: introducing the villains

The First Episode

Last night I heard some bad news. My mother, in the suburbs, did not have *BRAVO*. Gasp. Needless to say, I was worried. It was 8 p.m. when I received word. Eric suggested I knock on Robyn’s door and ask her if we could watch the two-hour kickoff to “Project Runway: Season Three”. Robyn obliged, but was so tired by the end, that she said it didn’t look like a possibility for us to continue watching the show for the rest of the season in her apartment.

I am doing my best to convince us to watch it at her place *religiously*. I even bribed her by promising to make her a future “It Girl” on Blue-Style-Canopy, (the fact is because she oozes fabulosity independent of her generosity, and I was going to make her an “It Girl” already). Pray that events turn out for the best!

So …

In regards to the first episode as well as the preceding hour of casting calls, it is quite easy to see who the villains are.

But first my list of the likeable candidates:

- Robert Best (Parsons student who likes BARBIE)
- Uli Herzner (a German living in Miami)
- Kayne Gillapsie (the redhead, former vet technician who has a shop in Oklahoma and likes Dolly Parton)
- Michael Knight (great style, low-key, humble African-American)
- Laura Bennett (likeable)
- Alison Kelly (25 year old New Yorker who’s cute)

The first project involved designers’ ravishing their shared ATLAS apartments for raw materials. They went ape-shit. Keith Michael, 34, was the winner making a simple elegant navy blue dress out of bed sheets with his backside strewn with big red ribbons.

Corporate big-head, Stacey Estrella, was out due to lackluster, ill-fitting design.

Villains to watch out for:

- Malan Breton (didn’t anyone notice his AUSTIN POWERS laugh except the scary part is it’s not an imitation)
- Jeffrey Sebelia (Jeffrey was displaying some of Santiago’s egotistical quirks both in his language and design … can we say *foofaraw*?
