Oh happy day, the fourth season of our favorite TV series “Project Runway” starts up again Wednesday, Nov. 14. It’s been so long!

You can get a peek at the contestants ahead of time at http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/season/4/bios/index.php

Project Runway
Early favorite, Christian of Annapolis, Md. Gotta love a guy who is a fan of the Brits, McQueen and Westwood.

I looked at a handful of videos and can’t wait to see what Christian comes up with. I think I was standing behind him to get into one of the Bryant Park shows. Even in NY, not too many guys look or dress like him. Hope he’s not a jerk.

What I don’t get are some of the comments posted to the site, like they keep asking if so and so is gay. Why does that even matter?

One woman had the audacity to post: “just like to say that I love the show and am looking forward to this season, but are there any everyday people on this show? Everyone seems to be gay, eccsentric, tattooed or full of themselves. Just my opinion. Hope the show changes my mind.”

Like, how can this woman even say she loves the show? What has she been watching in the past, since there were gay, eccentric, tattooed and “full of themselves” personalities from the very first season? If she wants to see everyday people she should turn off her TV and go for a walk in her neighborhood.

Just goes to show you how bigotry of all types continues to thrive, though most people like to pretend it doesn’t exist until something like “Dog’s” rant surfaces.

It’s sad that no matter how brilliant or creative a designer can be, to some people they will only be recognized as “gay” or “tattooed.”
