Project Runway

Almost a week after the latest Project Runway episode aired, I've finally watched it.  I always hate the "real women" challenge that occurs every season.  There's always that one designer who complains constantly about what a burden designing and sewing for the average woman.  Really, you've been making clothing for years and you've only designed for models a size 2 or smaller?  I must say, I can normally overlook it but this season, contestant Ven caused such anger in me.  It's one thing to bemoan the size of your lady in the interviews with the producers.  I get that they will highlight anything you say in that regard.  However, it's a whole other thing to make that woman feel like less than a person.

Her friend nominated her because she is always so busy caring for everyone else that she wanted to treat her with an outfit made just for her.  Instead, the poor women was publicly humiliated on national television by this arrogant and incompetent designer.  What I hate is that he actually does know how to design clothing but he chose not to under the pretense that she was just too big.  Knowing her size he purposely tried a belt that he knew wouldn't fit just so he could berate her and tell her how difficult of a client she is because of her size.  Seriously, who does that?   It just made me so angry that I wish I was better with clothing and could actually treat her to a day of beauty.  

I hope he gets eliminated soon.
