Maybe we're unaware of a Project Runway challenge that involved making Michael Kors and Nina Garcia an invisibility cloak. Or maybe the invisibility cloak is just the latest fashion trend. All I know is that Nina and Michael have been missing from various episodes this season. The preview for tomorrow's show didn't feature them either.
Everyone needs a sick day. Perhaps these two have H1N1. I just want an explanation as to why they're being replaced on the judging panel by people like: Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, and Eva Longoria-Parker. Most celebrities are styled by a stylist. Why not have Rachel Zoe sit in for Kors or Garcia? I highly doubt these celebrity replacements have as much industry experience as a stylist. Or why not have Tim Gunn as a guest judge? He follows the designers through their entire creative process! Don't you think he might know a bit about who deserves to stay and who needs to go home?
There's a reason the winner of Project Runway is separate from the winner of "America's Favorite." The judge's panel is there to aid America in seeing what is innovative design and what is not. I understand giving the host of the show (Heidi Klum) input in the decisions, much like Padma Lakshmi has input in the decisions made in Top Chef. But in my opinion, including these wannabe fashionistas in the judging panel is unfair. It's like having me sit up there in place of Michael Kors. I would have no idea what I was talking about. "I like it. It's different. I would wear that," are the only comments these celebrities can come up with. I think the designers would much rather have the opinions of Nina Garcia and Michael Kors than Lindsay Lohan.
Please, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, I'm begging you to ditch the disappearing act. America is lost without you!
