How long ago was the ProjRun avant garde challenge? I mean, did Holly see it, with the "high couture" runway pose?
It was a few weeks ago, so if she watches PR, she would have seen it. Actually, she pulled that pose off much better than the PR model did--it was much more natural, in that model-esque way.
Perry was the only one of the guys to give good pose on the runway this week--that initial pose, with the sleeves spread out, was perfect for that outfit. I thought Ben did pretty good on the runway this week, but he should have done more Robin-Hood/Errol-Flynn-like poses, since that's what his outfit reminded me of.
MMaS is really really growing on me. I think a lot of shows I really enjoy the first season the best. The relationships among the models remind me a bit of Project Runway first season. As for the competition, Perry and Shannon seem the top two for me. I loved Perry with the accent and the mustache.
Did anyone see the commercial for the top Bravo moments? I had to rewind Santino's Tim Gunn robot several times. LOVE!
I did the same thing, bon bon.
I'm also getting to like MMaS a lot. I watched all of it this weekend, thanks to all the talk here, and thought the tasks this episode were great,
They've been running these promos for Paradise Island, making it sound like it was a big hit the first time around. This is the reality show with lots of purportedly good looking people lying around in the sun ... that was cancelled about four weeks in.
Paradise Island or Paradise Hotel? Because Paradise Drunk Asshole Hotel kind of rocked. Very Lord of the Flies, only with daquiris.
I was wondering if I'd missed hearing about some Amazons Gone Wild reality show...
Paradise Hotel! sorry ... I watched the first one and then gave up on it. There didn't seem to be any rules or any end point to it.
I did, however, have this vision of a few years in the future some station accountant looks at the accounts and sees entries for Paradise Hotel ... and it turns out the same people have been hanging around there (Lord of the Flies! with booze and sex!) getting more and more dissipated. Also possibly starting a new generation ....
On MMaS, while I think Perry is very entertaining and hunky, I looooove Ronnie. He is so sweet. (Although the Ronnie/Ben damage control - "No, we're just friends. Really. No, really really." - was a little bit much).
I thought this week's challenges were really interesting. The group photos were lovely and the art installation/runway show was weird but fascinating. And the real runway show finally had them in clothing. Was this the first time? Maybe, no? The first week was the thong incident; the second week was Heatherette (basically naked with glitter); then last week was the pony play.
And I don't know what the hell that professors and school girls party was really all about, but if Ronnie can be my human anatomy teacher, then I am all in.
Man, Tyra just gets worse and worse in comparison.
Yeah, MTV has Top Model on marathon again, at the moment, and seeing them after seeing the MMASM....yeah. Though partly it's the guys, who look so good, the MMASM girls are meh for the most part (though I do like Shannon). I have no idea what the professor/schoolgirl thing was about, but it looked like fun!!
