Rambling thoughts on Project Runway Canada

There's a new episode of Project Runway but I can't get my hands on it. That's made me very dissapointed

What I am able to get my hands on is Season 1 of Project Runway Canada. After watching the first episode, here are my thoughts.

1) Iman is super awesome. Her accents is so much better than Heidi's. And she's honest and blunt.

2) The tagline in Canada is LAME. Heidi has "As you know in fashion, one day you're in , and the next day, you're out." Iman has "Let's see if you measure up."

3) Drama-rama galore! I love all the cattiness and bitchiness.

4) I miss Tim Gunn!!!!
Brian Bailey is like a lame cross of Michael Kors and Tim Gunn. Except he talks too much about what he likes. Tim is a mentor. He doesn't impose his views or offer to much. He asks the designers what they want to do and offer advice to help them realize theri vision.

5) Where's Nina? Nina Garcia serves up no-nonsense advice. I'm not sure where I stand with this Canadian Elle Editor in Chief.

6) Designers - Very interesting bunch. I'm sad to see the major drama queen gone in the first ep. Hopefully the other drama queens last a bit longer.

7) Why are Canadians more touchy feely? One thing that I notice about this show is they offer a lot more commentary from the judges, makeup artists in general. PLus, the designers say a lot too. I'm not sure where I stand on this. I like to hear what the designers have to say in their thinking process. I'm not so interested with what freaking Brian Bailey has to say about other people's work, at least not during the creative process.
