Run away from Runway

That legendary bastion of truth and insider knowledge, Perez, reports that the current fiasco surrounding Project Runway is not as mysterious as it sounds. His sources are reporting that Nina Garcia was indeed fired from her post at Elle magazine. The cause? She never did any work! She'd drop into the office for a few hours a week, then make her Assistants carry most of the load.

This sounds perfectly logical to me - Being an Editor is hard work, while being a talking head on 'Runway' is an indolent, egocentric banquet. Perez is simply providing more evidence for the widely-held view that, as is the case with most of her Bohemian cohorts on the show, Nina needs and fully deserves to be 'aufed.'

Tim Gunn teaches fashion,
Michael Kors designs fashion,
Nina writes...sorry, used to...write about fashion,
And Heidi only wore other people's fashions.

...So Tim and Mr. Kors are the only ones with the slightest credibility or justification to even be sitting there.

As for Heidi's qualifications, let's be clear: Five years as an over-priced, anorexic clothes-horse for the design talents of others does not give you the right to stand in judgment on the lives, hopes and dreams of people who possess even a modicum of that particular talent.

Tim and Mr. Kors can stay. Everyone else -- Hasta la vista!
