All About PR

I'm watching the second to last episode of Project Runway right now, and I just cannot escape it. Apparently, 6 months out of law school and unemployment hasn't completely atrophied my brain.

For those not in the know, before Fashion Week (i.e. the finale) Tim Gunn visits the designers in their homes to see how their final collections are going. When he visited Irina (my least favorite contestant who is unfortunately the most talented), she announced her intention to use Coney Island t-shirts she had bought. First off, why isn't that against the rules? Second, my immediate thought was that the artwork on the front was copyrighted, possibly even trademarked (I couldn't see it that well). Sure enough, half way through the episode, Tim calls Irina and informs her of this. It's supposed to be a big "OH NOES!" moment, but my legal education left my underwhelmed about the revelation. The entire season has been underwhelming, so I was kind of annoyed that my big "HA!" moment for Irina was spoiled. *sad face*

Anyway, next season needs some changes if they're expecting me to watch again. For one thing, the judges (especially the guest judges) need brains. That would be nice. Also, it would be fabulous if they judged on actual skill instead of who was most popular - *cough*Chris*cough*. And where are my off-the-wall challenges? Make a dress out of things you find in a pet store or something, please.

Yeah, that's all I have to say. Unemployment is unexciting.
