Megan's been watching the new season of "Project Runway" and though Megan is happy with it so far, Megan has issues with one of the contestants, Suede.
You see Suede talks about himself in the third person and though Suede seems to think it's funny and distinctive and destined to make him the most famous reality show star ever, Megan finds it to be annoying and pretentious.
Even though Megan appreciated Suede's outfit last week and felt he deserved his win, Megan was sick of hearing Suede constantly refer to himself like, "Suede thinks he's gonna get the win," or "Suede loves his look on the runway," or "Suede kicked ass!"
On last night's episode Megan lost patience with Suede because Suede's love of the sound of his own name went into overdrive. It was, "Suede this," and "Suede that" and personally Megan is tired of it.
So Megan has a message for Suede: shut the heck up and let your sewing machine do the talking.
On a different note, Megan thought the judges were too hard on Keith about his ripped up magazine dress last night. Megan liked Keith's dress and though Megan thought it would have looked better if it had been more fitted, Megan thinks the judges should have cut Keith some slack because his model got switched at the last minute.
Megan's favorite outfits so far have been designed by Terry and Jerrell, though Megan really loved Leanne's sidewalk tree planter inspired skirt and top. The skirt was a masterpiece and Megan would buy it in a heartbeat.



















"In Plain Sight:" Colorful Casting Would Have Made It A Better Show
The lead character on "In Plain Sight" should have been a black woman. How's that for an opening line?
But I'm serious. She should have been a black woman.
Why do I say this? Because after watching the pilot episode of "In Plain Sight" and several episodes since, I keep thinking: what a bland show.
It's kind of like watching a show that's set in New York but was shot on the gritty streets of Toronto: there's nothing special about it and it's obvious to anyone who's been there, it's not New York.
Right now the lead character's name is Mary Shannon and she's played by Mary McCormack. How much more interesting would it have been though to cast a black woman or better yet, since it's set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a Native American woman in the lead role? They could have changed the character's name to Sarah Two Feather. If she were black, she could have been Renita Johnson. Hispanic? Consuela Ramirez.
Or since this is the United States of Many Races and Origins, Hispanic, black or Native American, Mary Shannon could still have been the character's name.
