Project Runway

Another late night at work. And now (well, soon) I'm off to watch the prelude to the "Project Runway" finale at a friend's house (this is a weekly event, usually accompanied by a couple other friends and at least one bottle of wine).
I'm not just interested in the show because I fancy myself a budding fashionista (albeit, one who can name the top designers but can't afford to actually buy anything they send down the runway). This is one of the best reality shows out there. And, yes, I know that's not saying much. But I'd put it right behind Mark Burnett's creations in terms of creating characters we care about, as well as compelling drama. And three of the four designers left are truly talented (I think Wendy's style matches her personality--alternating between blah and bizarre).
It's also a chance to revel in our fabulous femininity (PR, as my friend points out, has become the new "Sex and the City" in terms of its popularity among 30-something women in NY and its accurate depiction of a certain slice of life in NYC). We usually keep a running commentary going on the characters and couture throughout the show. Meanwhile, my husband can't stand to watch the show for more than five minutes. So I'm happy to have a friend whose willing to host the weekly screenings.
Gotta get going, if I'm going to pick up some wine. Stay tuned for the recap tomorrow.
