Bravo’s New Fashion Show
By admins | May 7, 2009
So, we have all been jonesing for our dear Project Runway to return and no show has stepped in to take its most fabulous place. It seems that PR, Lifetime, and Bravo have sorted out their legal differences and will finally be airing Project Runway season 6 this summer on Lifetime. But what is Bravo to do now that they have lost one of the most popular reality shows on television? Well, their answer is a new show called “The Fashion Show” (yes, we know, real creative title right?). It has the same basic premise as Project Runway but without the venerable Tim Gunn and that sexy German giant Heidi Klum. So will it work? More importantly will anyone watch? Well, we will as it premiers tonight at 10:00pm EST on Bravo. So check back here later for an update with our thoughts on the PR knockoff.
Auf Wiedersehen!
**update 10:30 – Really missing Tim Gunn, WTF does Kelly Roland have to do with fashion? Having trouble focusing on the plot due to red pimp-suit meets gay pirate guy. What the hell is that on his head, really what is that all about? So the challenge is a must have item and one team picked a Bolero jacket, huh?
***update 10:45 – Gay pirate’s name is Merlin, of course! Loving Isaac, he’s fabulous and so New Yorky (is that a word?) The talent over all seems suspect, but we’ll see what happens on the runway.
****update 11:00 – Ok fine, admitting it, at the end Merlin (now wearing a burka?) had the best group show. The tube dress/skirt group which was the most solid concept went so very, very, wrong. It should be a reminder to all, that construction and fabrication choices can never be overlooked. Anyway, the show is easily additive but wow, it really is a generic brand Project Runway.

Ok dahlings, I predict this will be my new reality TV guilty pleasure. Without PR and with the Housewives over, this better hit the spot!

Any show with a gay pirate named Merlin in a head to toe red pimp suit complete with feather is worth watching at least a few more times. nice blow by blow live coments.

after watching this show i came up with a few conclucions..
1. merlin and the asian man kick a$$! but it is an overall okay show, def agree with the generic project runway idea..
2. but most importantly who is kelly rowland to be juding about fashion?? i couldnt get over that, please tell me Kelly something you know that i dont about fashion. Other than taking cues from tacky TINA Knowles who was Destiney’s Child “stylist” and “designer” i just cant, really i just cant!

Seriously, Kelly Rowland? She just comes off as defensive and nasty. If she’s qualified to critique, then I’m OVER-qualified. Try Googling some images of her, you’ll see what I mean. What a Trashionista!
I can’t say Isaac fares much better. He’s like some sour old lady at temple carping about the kids.
This show is all venom, no soul. This thing is only compelling in the way “Wife Swap” is compelling — tune in to see the trash, but after an episode or two, you’ve seen enough.
To quote Isaac himself in the previews for episode two, “Don’t insult us with a mere knockoff.”
Amen, sistah, now take your own advice.

You guys are hilarious and we so agree about Kelly!
As for Isaac, “He’s like some sour old lady at temple carping about the kids.” we thought he looked familiar!
