At the back of the catwalk on Bravo’s Project Runway, there’s a large, translucent panel with the Project Runway logo.
During the first season there were a number of times when they had a camera backstage watching the models enter or exit the catwalk, but since the entire logo wasn’t in the frame, this is all you’d see:
They’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on branding and marketing and yet, week after week, they seemed intent on leaving people with the subliminal impression that the show was a big YAWN.
I think they’ve learned their lesson, though. I’ve watched the first three episodes of the second season and I haven’t seen the big YAWN once.

Too funny. What’s interesting is going to Google and typing “project runway yawn” and seeing how many people use “yawn” in commenting on the show. Wonder if they realize their brains have been tampered with.
You actually watch this nonsense? THE WEDDING IS OFF!
Hah! I wished I’d seen it! Hah. love it.
Jodi, I assure you that the only reason I watch such nonsense is the remote possibility of catching a glimpse of you gallivanting about the sidewalks of Manhattan.
If you don’t buy that one, how about, “I only watch it for the article?”
The wedding’s back ON!!!
And you are all invited!
YESSSS! Jodi, lemme know when you’ve got my plane ticket and I’ll give you my address so that you can overnight it…
As a potential bridal party participant, may I make a suggestion in four words? (1) Teal (2) taffeta (3) bridesmaid (4) dresses. Teal is in both Jenny’s and my color keys.
I’m assuming that dyed-to-match satin pumps are a given. And I’d like a big, huge bow on the bum to cover up my own, um, overabundance.
I hate to dampen the potential bridesmaids’ enthusiasm, but…
a. Bridesmaids are usually chosen from among the bride’s single sisters and friends.
b. If you are married, you can’t be a “bridesmaid,” per se. I believe the appropriate term is “Matron of Honor.”
c. The typical uniform for a “Matron of Honor” consists of an A-line dress in a heavy synthetic, a pillbox hat, and orthopedic loafers.
d. As I mentioned earlier, any potential nuptials are at least 2 years away. And although teal taffeta is truly timeless (since polyester doesn’t biodegrade), there is a minute chance that, at the time of the wedding, it may not have the same de rigeur je ne sais quoi au jus as it does today. I’d leave your fabric options open for now. A fetching fuchsia nylon organza or delicate apricot tricot might catch your eye between now and then.
Oh, poop.
I did find a picture of the best bride-and-groom cake toppers ever, though.
