Wait, this is supposed to be a picture from the new, Lifetime-owned season of Project Runway? I refuse to believe it! Where's the gloomy weather of New York, or the bodacious belly of a pregnant, Kate Gosselin-competitive Heidi Klum? Yes, I know that the new season is set in Los Angeles, but I didn't realize how much that would affect the Runway tone until I saw sunlight streaming in from behind Tim Gunn in the Parsons design room (below).
This may be even harder to withstand than the unhip move to Lifetime, so permit me to engage in a bit of cognitive dissonance: these are not pictures from Project Runway at all, but instead stills from Sam Mendes's aborted first take on his upcoming road trip comedy Away We Go. Before the director brought in John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum had been cast as the bohemian young couple forced to scour the Unites States for a suitable place to raise their adopted baby, 44-year-old Latina spitfire Nina (in these stills, we see their sojourn in Los Angeles). Oh, and Heidi was cast in John Krasinski's part. Try to make sense of that.
Boy, I'm taking this much harder than I thought. Get the men in (fashionable) white coats.
