Runway Bravo Newcritics

When I head to the office, I never know what to wear on any given weekday. In winter, the blue suit or the gray suit? The pinstripes or the, er, pinstripes. In summer, the navy or the olive green. Tie for clients, no tie for no clients. Weekends, which sweatshirt with those jeans? Hmm...what's the color this season? So okay, my personal fashion sense is somewhat limited - but that doesn't mean I don't admit fashion's role in popular culture, its thousands of years of history and vital importance, the strange, coltish nature of those darned models, and that weird cross-toe runway walk. So who was I to object when newcritics bloggers Jennifer and Claire teamed up to go all live-bloggy on Bravo's popular Project Runway reality series, which began its fourth season last week? Why pass up the chance to caper "with cameo appearances by some of the nicest bloggers ever to caper in a catsuit in homage to Honey West," as Jim Wolcott put it. I'm up for vicious fashionista snark and the low, low necklines of pret a porter putdowns as much as the next guy! And what better way to follow on our Mad Men Thursday night blogfests - now in hiatus - then with Wednesday night fashionfests. So I'm on board, right there in the front row, looking up the ... I mean ... at the skirts, and dresses, and blouses and lingerie (yes, Lance, lingerie!) of the newcritics Project Runway live-blogging party. 1o EST, Bravo and newcritics.com.
