This past week's episode of Project Runway showed Heidi saying "Auf Wiedersehen" to the Portland based designer, Janeane Marie Ceccanti, on only the sixth episode of the season. After a mediocre beginning and dismal last two weeks of being in the bottom three, Janeane was finally "out" on the show. Not only did she manage to cry the most out of any contestant on the show this season, she also managed to be average at best, never making it in the top three and not having any innovative designs. Disappointing being kicked off sixth out of sixteen! However, word on the street (Janelle met her and is housemates with a friend of a friend of Janeane's) is that she is really nice, gracious, and down to earth. So...uhh...atleast she has that going for her? I'm sure Anna Wintour really cares about heart and kindness.
See Janeane's losing design from Thursdays episode. The challenge was to make a children's outfit with a complementary adult piece. Yeah, the picture says it all...boring, unoriginal, and unflattering.
Not only has Janeane proved to America that Portland can't design, but the winner of season 5, Leanne Marshall, another Portland based designer, is arguably the least memorable winner in Project Runway history. And I'm pretty sure that she wouldn't have gotten so far in the competition if it hadn't been a pretty disappointing season overall. Try and remember one of her pieces from that season...I bet you can't. Even the Portland winners are losers.
Oh well. We always have the hope of Seth Aaron, not exactly a Portlander, but a Portland neighbor from Vancouver, WA. He's still in the competition and won the challenge last week. We can only hope his rocker chic can save us all.
