Down and Out in Denver

Last night I was en route to San Francisco to see my Gentleman Friend for the long weekend — and to celebrate my birthday — so was unable to catch Project Runway as it was aired.  But the folks at Lifetime — unlike the stingy Bravo crew who hoard their episodes, releasing only one or two — graciously include all Project Runway episodes at mylifetime.com.   I’m really coming around to Lifetime, I have to say, even if they have given up The Golden Girls to the Hallmark Channel.

Peach Carr

This post will have to be brief — I’ve got fun things to do in the city, after all — but I would be remiss if I did not mark the occasion of Peach’s departure.  Was her dress the worst?  Indeed it was. Did she know it?  She sure did.  Peach Carr was a realist.  And that was pretty refreshing on a show of bloated egos and insecurity masked as arrogance.  She also — despite constant self-deprecating references to her own age — was a thorough delight and I am going to miss her.  She did keep up with the young ones.  And she did make me laugh.  And she also — take note, Gretchen Jones — managed to be both funny and interesting without constantly saying nasty things about other people’s designs.  There is a lesson here.  What impressed me most about Peach came at the very end; it was pretty clear that everyone there was going to miss her.  There were tears.

So we here at DOD join with the remaining contestants in wishing you a very fond farewell, Peach Carr.
