New Batch Of 'Project Runway' Contestants Desperate To Coin Next Sassy Catchphrase Sensation
Posted by Seth at 5:00 AM on July 18, 2008
The fifth season of Project Runway premiered last night—something you might have easily missed, considering a scorned Bravo did everything in their power to sabotage the Lifetime-headed series short of retitling it People Sitting At Sewing Machines Acting Bitchy and burying it after a 4 a.m. Shamwow! infomercial. In any case, despite all the essentials being in place—i.e. Tim, Heidi, Michael, Nina, and even a surprise cameo by Season One breakout fop Austin Scarlett—there was no mistaking it: the bloom is off this rose. Case in point, the designers blatantly solicitous attempts at establishing themselves as this season's Christian Siriano, whose arsenal of Christianisms—we won't even bothering repeating them here, you know the ones—helped propel him to become the breakout sensation of Season Four. "Girlicious?" "Suede is gonna rock it?" Subpar Tim Gunn impressions? Please. Make it stop.

Girliscious = Homelesscious
Side note: As someone who actually has a degree in fashion design, this show is confirmation that my career change into graphics was totally the right move.

Shamwowlicious! And as a tie-in, they could have a design competition to see who can make the most fashionable - and more importantly, most absorbent daywear collection. The Shamwow dweeb, and his adorable headset, could be guest judges.

Christian's "fierce" was totes cribbed from ANTM.

I sell ShamWows for a living, and I can tell you, they are shamtastic. I tell prospective buyers that if Moses had a ShamWow that was 400 miles long, he could have absorbed the entire Red Sea, and that would have made the exodus so much more convenient for the Jews.

@Oxycontinmoron: Oh yeah, and I am so stealing "Alterational" but I'm adding two snaps, a high five and an "Mmm-kay?" to mine.

I wanted Tim to bitchslap the "girlicious" dude across the face and just say "Wrong Network, asshole, so can the cross-promotion!"
Also, if a designer is going to go all out and name themselves after a fabric, why not opt for excess and go for "Gold Lame" or "Sequined Tulle?" Suede is a totally difficult fabric, so maybe he's foreshadowing something.

Sorry, but anyone who refers to himself in the third person should automatically be aufed.
