projectrunway Holier-Than-Thou peeps -
Wow - way to bite the hand that feeds, eh? You get a mention on the LJ home page, get an influx of new members, and suddenly you get evil and defensive towards us new arrivals.
One of my favorite comments? This one: "I'm still not used to having PR being a popular show because when I started watching it no one I knew had heard about it. Now it's everyyyyyywhere...." *boggle*
Is Project Runway an emo-boy-band now? You know, like "Fall Out Project Runway Boy" or something? Did the f*%#ing show start on Public Access in Crown Heights or Bed-Stuy - then somehow get discovered by a Bravo exec channel-surfing at 3 a.m., who went, "I must have this show for the network. NOW!!" The next thing you know, they're going from small-time to larger-than-life, leaving your sorry asses behind, whining into your (ironically ordered) Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer ... "I knew them when, back in the days... Now, they're all over the place. I just hope that they don't sell out!"
Last I checked, the show was on TV for two, count 'em TWO, seasons previously - and unless you were best friends with one of Tim Gunn's underlings, or served as Nina Garcia's whipping girl/boy at ELLE Magazine, we all came to it with a pretty even playing field, eh?
Love - ?
Me
But, enough of that rant ... I just think it's funny, that for a bunch of people that constantly parrot last season's line of "Lighten up, it's just fashion!", they're taking themselves far too seriously. And it almost makes me wonder if they want to just be all smug and arrogant, to build themselves up or something - like schoolyard bullies.
And my apologies to Fall Out Boy, as well as Tim Gunn - no offense meant. (Especially since Pete Wentz would probably cringe at being associated with "Project Runway", and Tim Gunn would feel similarly towards Pete...)
