As I am currently unemployed I can watch all the Project Runway I want. In real time.
As the last person I know that not only doesn't get HBO but doesn't have DVR, TiVo, Satellite Anything, and still utilizes a VCR from time to time, a constant travel schedule and a lack of cable (as dictated by my building) prevented me from viewing this fabulous show in real time the past season, which was a crime against me that I am still reeling from. But today...today. Today, Season 6 of PW starts. (And no, that is not a typo - have you HEARD Heidi Klum speak?)
Project Runway is not Reality Television. Reality Television, to me, is a skank fest dressed in gutter rubbage yielding a nation of wasteful, vapid trollops and douchebags that pollute otherwise rational minds and sully my US Weekly with stops of "Who the F--- is that?" Project Runway is a big ass Job Interview, narrated by Career Counselor Extraordinaire, Tim Gunn. Contestants show up EVERY DAY and bust themselves to get a JOB at the end. I love this idea. Best of all, most life lessons can be extracted from the show. Don't believe me? Keep reading:
"If you're going to cry, you better cry AND cut." (Pick your sorry ass up and keep going.)
"Don't bore Nina." (Get creative people. Innovate or get out of the way.)
It doesn't have to be in quotes, either. I think viewers of PW will agree with me that the show is a walking PSA, telling America to not name their children Detroit (or get that tattooed on your neck), avoid using hot glue on couture, and Quality and Talent will always win.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take my inspiration and write some cover letters. Because, after all -
"I can't want you to succeed more than you do." - Tim Gunn
