Well, I am clearly not in the best of moods. I'll try my hardest to keep it positive.
As I somehow forgot it was Thurday, I sped home and turned on the TV and flipped it to my number one show (since The West Wing ended its series): Project Runway. While I am still reeling over the fact that Anthony Ryan is no longer on the show, I am very happy that Joshua McKinley is still on. I have a confession: I liked Joshua McKinley since I saw his first garment; however, there was something about Anthony Ryan's ability to make nothing into something. Anyway, I digress. SO everything is going well and I am enjoying the show. I even get excited when Joshua gets second best, even though it was way better than Anya (sorry Mom, Joshua is my designer and Anya is just not my style). While I was kinda sad about Viktor not going home - mainly because he whines too much and I can not forgive him over what he has done to Anthony Ryan (or the other designers for that matter) - I was glad that Bert accepted his departure. I'm thinking the show is over when this "first ever" After The Runway interview happens. I watch and am enjoying the whole "Anya needs to not be so hypocritical" and loved the outfit that Joshua is wearing. Suddenly they go to commercials, return from said commercials, and inform the viewer they have a guest. I can only image. It is none other than Laura Bennett.
While she talks to only Bert, Kimberly, and saves Joshua for her final person of interest, she ignores Anya and Viktor. When she does get to Joshua, she completely insults his intelligence, his designs, and his ability to "get the drama over with" as he is too much into drama. I think this was the point when I stated...rather loudly, "whoa bitch, whoa" because she thought she had valid points. She clearly doesn't.
First of all, she was not even a good designer in her own season (she wore a Chanel dress - which was not flattering in any way - for her appearance which shows a lack of confidence in her own garments...as Joshua says, "You gotta own it"). Second, she labeled him as a "bully" which is hilarious because she was one in her own season. Not to mention if anyone does waste their time on her blog they will know that she never has anything nice to say about anyone...even the winners. For someone who was a finalist and not an actual winner of Project Runway, she should NOT EVER criticize Heidi, Michael, or even Nina; after all, they are at the top of their game while she (Laura Bennett) is mediocre at best - and that is stretching it by far.
Another thing Ms. Bennett, HOW DARE YOU create drama when you despise it! What is Joshua's business is not your problem and unless you have a PhD in "solving everyone's problems except your own" and he - or anyone else - asks for your advice then don't offer it....again, leave it to the professionals because clearly you aren't one! By the way, Joshua is older than I am by a...I think a year...and he has undergone a heck of a lot more than I have (and I've gone through a lot) and he is truly an inspiration. Being in the mid-twenties is a challenging time in anyone's life even though people say it "is the time of your life"....it's not. It is stressful, you're trying to be successful and find your niche, living in big cities is hard (I've lived in DC & NY so I have some understanding of this problem), and just trying to figure out what life has in store are enough for anyone to consider getting a martini (or a Ginger Ale & Vodka ~ My drink of choice).
I have the greatest respect for Joshua McKinley, and Anthony Ryan, and I hope he wins this season of Project Runway. When I become rooted into my chosen career you better believe I'll contact Joshua to be my designer - I'll also contact Anthony Ryan because they are really good designing together. I hope Joshua will not leave Project Runway and he deserves to win this season.
Now that I have that off my chest, I just have a quick Grad School update: I submitted my application to ___ and am waiting to hear from them. *fingers crossed*
