So I was bored this afternoon and downloaded the premiere of Project Runway: Australia which, oh my god, I don't know what I was thinking but so far it's AMAZING. [This is to be imagined in a classically broad Aussie accent] "My friends say I'm like champagne on heels! I design beautiful clothes for beautiful women!" So ugly women should just wear sacks, right? "I was a soldier in the Israeli army for four years. I LOVE fashion." *dies* unbelievable. Actually I think my fave bit is all the different accents - actually, I enjoy that about all the PRs, especially brit and aus. Aus has some pretty familiar Sydneysiders (my mother's sister and one of her brothers, not to mention five of my cousins, live in Australia, and they all lived in Sydney until a year or two ago.) and all sorts of other things too - I'm hoping for something exotic and melbournian.

ETA: "I own a frock shop." *sigh* god, I love the colonies. I believe only new zealanders and australians older than 45 use the word frock anymore, which has an entertainment value all of its own, and then you add the accent. (You know what's really funny? No-one other than new zealanders and australians can really tell the difference in our accents, but I find it so different it's incredibly comic and entertaining. Perhaps it's the proximity - so much about our accents are similar that the differences are really pointed. Or something.

So, um, are you able to divulge where you sourced this download from? :-P

Just emailed you! :)

O if you go on this way, I will wind up watching it! stooop tempting

Heh. *tempts, tempts* It's a bit ridic, truly.

I WATCHED IT. How are so many contestants clones of American Project Runway contestants?? Bizarre! But many of them are really cute. What day does it air? I can't seem to find this out ... but I want to be ready for episode 2!

LOLOLOLOL I say frock ALL THE TIME. It is one of my fave words.

Do you remember Rendalls? You might be a bit young. They used to have "Ladies Frocks" as a proper section in the shop.

You're sekritly ancient? :P

I don't remember them at all, I have to admit, but - heh, classic.

Not so sekrit. Lines are showing. Grey hairs on occasion. All very dire!

Canada was a colony! A FRENCH one. And then the English came and beat up the French at the Battle on the Plains of Abraham (I don't even know why I remember this), and took all the French land here, and now the French only have St. Pierre and Miquelon, which they STILL have.

Unfortunately, we do not say frock, which I really think is a shame. Perhaps I'll add it to my vocabulary.

I didn't think you guys said frock! Glad to hear I guessed right :P Hmm, frock. I don't know, it's kind of adorable to me.

I love Project Runway, in all its incarnations. SO FAB. And in an embarassing no-ironic way, too.

I KNOW RIGHT. omg pretty dresses! I'm always losing count in my knitting because I have to stop to LOOK AT THE PRETTY.

Project Rungay is THE best blog for Project Runway america stuff *pimps unashamedly*

Project Runway is great to knit to.
