Bandanna fix

A (somewhat) live look at Episode 3, Season 5 of "Project Runway."

8:02 -- The designers utter a half-hearted hello when Heidi greets them.

8:07 -- Jennifer and Leanne look exactly alike and have a vacant look in their eyes.

8:09 -- Keith utters the words "I'm not here to become their friends" when Stella and Kenley complain about him in Times Square. (See video below for more.)



8:13 -- An ad runs for the new season of "Top Design." See you later, decorator.

8:16 -- Keith, sans bandanna, doesn't look as much like Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir (pictured at right) today.

8:18 -- I'm rooting for Joe Faris of Detroit.

8:18 -- Leanne, creator of last week's satin mess, utters the words "I hope I'm not too creative again."

8:19 -- Keith's bandanna is back!

8:21 -- Kenley is to a flapper as Emily is to a 1940s pinup.

8:28 -- Blayne inadequately explains the phrase "Holla at cha boy" to Tim Gunn.

8:33 -- You heard it here: Daniel Feld will be formidable this season.

8:39 -- I admit it, I would laugh at most anything Michael Kors says. When he says "Hey guys" to the designers each week I smile a little bit and all is right with the world.

8:48 -- In a remarkable turnaround, Leanne's outfit garners quite a bit of praise this week.

8:49 -- Jennifer, Leanne's doppelganger, appears to be in trouble however.

8:50 -- Nina Garcia says "no comment" on her dress.

8:56 -- Kenley is victorious.

8:58 -- Inexplicably, Emily is eliminated and Jennifer goes on for another week.

Holding pattern

Welcome to the patternless area, a companion blog to the driftless area. The patternless area will include views on topics beyond those covered in the driftless area. These might include television, team sports and everyday life. For those familiar with the pensieve of the Harry Potter books, the patternless area will be a tool for emptying my thoughts on a broad array of topics.
