"You don't have to get an MFA at Parsons, but if Christopher had gone to design school, he would probably be a working fashion designer right now, not some kid with a bad beard who cries alot and still lives in Minnesota."

praise jesus hallelujah. or, just move to NYC, get residency, then go to FIT - cheaper and doesn't get the same visibility, but the fashion education is decent or so I hear. why are these people trying to push the envelope in a town which doesn't even get the mail? #projectrunway

Finally saw this piece of dismalarkey. Put it off because i had better things to do, like staring at a wall. Fine recap, and I agree: I'm sick of self-taught designers simultaneously bragging and fishing for pity.

That said, it can be quite hard to go to fash school. The Parsons students I knew were worked to the bone, did not sleep for 3 years. I'm not exaggerating, the PR contestants have it easier. Horror stories abounded of students slaving over a garment, only to have Donna Karan physically rip it apart because of a single errant stitch. True story. It's a brutally rigorous program, and costs a fortune. #projectrunway

That's a stretch. The Glad joke was certainly poking fun at "Top Chef" for its overt shilling, but in the process 30 Rock dedicated an entire scene to sandwich bags. I doubt Glad is too unhappy about that. #30rock

I missed the whole show because Virginia Beach has been overtaken by a bitchy nor'easter courtesy of Ida and we had no power till tonight. I see that we had more drama here, with water pouring down our chimney, coming under our garage door, and overflowing our pool than this show.

Also, Tim held the champagne glass that way because the the proper way to hold a wine/champagne glass is always by the stem, never the bowl. And of course Tim would know that! #projectrunway

30 Rock is the only thing on NBC right now worth watching every week. I watched it on my DVR this morning and was laughing my butt off. It's probably the only thing that NBC doesn't completely sanitize before reaching the airwaves. I love that they take digs at the network and whether it's b/c the Lornes/Fey team is powerful enough to get away with it or the people at the network are too stupid to get it (it's definitely possible,) I'm all for it. I highly doubt it'll be the digs that get them canceled but the ratings should they fall low enough, not that NBC can afford to lose any more programming at this point.

I love Jack's reaction when Padma showed him that she was pregnant. It's a reminder of what all women experience when they announce their pregnancy to superiors, no matter their job or industry. Meanwhile, you could come to work and announce to everyone that you had herpes and the reaction wouldn't be any worse.

Side note: Padma needs to stick to presenting on Top Chef. Her monotone robotic delivery doesn't really work for anything else. Some girls (and also boys) need to accept that a pretty face can only take you so far. #30rock

In another thread, someone posted a link to this website where you can see this season and all of the past seasons final collections:

Just look at the other seasons and notice the world of difference in talent. This season was such a nightmare and I'm glad it's over.

Padma Lakshmi can't act her way out of a Glad bag. I cringed during that whole scene. Josh Fadem as Liz Lemon's agent on the other hand...brilliant. #30rock

@b4nt4: I cringed through most of Padma's horrid performance, until she started stealing food (in a Glad bag!) at the end. That deserved a chuckle, but only because she wasn't actually saying anything. #30rock

I think this analysis is completely backwards. 30 Rock has made dissing the actual product and product placement itself a form of product placement. Like Jack says in the Jack-Tor episode in season 1, it's like "Letterman dissing the suits. Hippy humor." Look, NBC is in on the joke, they're cool! Seems odd that Gawker wouldn't be able to grasp this type of thing, since it built an online empire doing pretty much the same thing re: media.

The sandwich bag jokes are pretty clearly subtle product placement, not a "real kick in the shins". We all know she shills for Glad, and here she is taking credit for inventing the sandwich bag! Buy Glad!

That's the way I saw it last night, at least.

Tim in that retro apron ( of course he would choose one Betty Draper would wear. Even though we hate her. gah.) made the show for me. I just want to bring him home and have him make grits and cornbread with me, while he criticizes super sweetly my fashion choices, and says how darling my house is. Gunny, the bringer of peace and light. #projectrunway

The fact that a designer was puking last night reminded me of this quote from the William H. Macy character in State and Main:

"Who designed these costumes? It looks like Edith Head puked, and that puke designed these costumes!" #projectrunway

A bit surprised the Tim dancing behind the screen moment was at least mentioned....

Also in regards to the big chunky knits.....Jillian did it better last season. #projectrunway
