The Future Of Fashion Meets The Future Of The Funk

Don’t forget, readers, that tonight’s Project Runway features LL Cool J as guest judge, with the contestants’ challenged to create hip-hop clothing. As in Korto telling the camera of her endlessly whining, self-important cohort Kenley, “We’re not gonna tell her, we’re just gonna let her believe that’s hip-hop.” I sincerely hope she’s talking about Kenley and not Leanne, because I know whose meltdown is a loooong time a-comin’, and it ain’t the Cat Power lookalike. I also hope Uncle L comforts this season’s favorite reality-show spoiled brat: “Take my hand / Listen to the man / You have a plan / Don’t even risk it / What, do you want a biscuit?” And I hope she looks at him and breaks into that braying laugh of hers, as the editors cut to LL looking into the camera and asking, “What the hell is this woman’s problem?” [Project Runway]
