Lifetime To Air Something Called Project Runway: Accessories

Project Runway is truly the Giving Tree for the 21st Century. Since it debuted in 2004, it has bestowed upon the world many gifts, both good (Tim Gunn! Enchanted German woodcarving Heidi Klum!) and bad (The Models aftershow! Michael Kors' nightmare-inducing unearthly hue!). It helped cement Bravo as a viable network and got Lifetime to stop airing so many movies about breast cancer starring Meredith Baxter Birney. And now, there's a new Runway spinoff on the horizon.

Soul sister site Deadline is reporting that the Weinsteins have sold Project Runway: Accessories to Lifetime. No other facts--host, debut date, set-up and rules--have come to light yet, so feel free to fling baseless accusations and predictions for the show in the comments section. I'll start you off: It'll be hosted by Yasmine Bleeth! The mentor will be a jar of marmalade! The judges will be a three-legged Malamute, a boxcar hobo, and a visibly intoxicated Salman Rushdie! Featured contestants include a deaf geisha, an openly gay robot and pair of salad tongs.

I'm not sure how the show will play out. On the one hand, I'm not sure much drama they can wring out from making bracelets. On the other hand, as a wise woman once slurred, "You can never have too many hats, gloves and shoes."
