For whatever reason, my love of Project Runway faded out once the show made the leap from Bravo to Lifetime. It wasn’t like it was moved to a different night and time slot or anything and remembering what channel to look for every Wednesday was only mildly confusing. I think the main problem was that I’d spent all of that long, torturous time that passed between seasons getting over the whole “reality” competition formula (not totally true, I still watch Top Chef). Which is too bad because those first seasons of PR held me in a vice like grip from beginning to end (Danny V was robbed!). Still, I miss Tim Gunn enough that I was pretty excited when I came across an article featuring his review of Wonder Woman’s new costume. That’s right, as of issue #600 Diana Prince receives yet another in a long line of makeovers. In a medium where change is generally met with nerd screams from every corner of the globe, I have to admit that I don’t really mind this and neither does Mr. Gunn:
“Capes and cloaks can be easily removed if they get caught on something. Gowns and dresses, not so much. The more form-fitting, the better. So tight pants or skinny jeans, sure. I think Wonder Woman could work a pant.”
I love that guy. You can check out the rest of his comments at this link (it’s a fun read) and here’s what you can find on the shelves this week.
Auf wiedersehen!
