Project Runway...any reality in reality shows?

Ok...I am not one to follow reality shows. I think a lot of them are degrading and tarnishing to the human spirit, but Project Runway has caught my attention. Usually, when one is dedicated to an art form, one can translate understanding about other forms and mediums using knowledge gained from the craft already being perfected . But this has caught my fascination as I am amazed at the creativity and depth the designers move on with their assignments. How could anyone make a glamorous gown out of materials from a recycling plant?!!

I see a bit of spirituality in this show. The concept of taking something from nothing and making a wearable garb of clothing from it- that's a transferable skill. We all have the power to create something from nothing. We can do it through character refinement, our schedules, old scraps lying around the house and words that haven't been said yet. We can use free will: for good and positive change or for bad and emptiness.
And it is apparent on the show the way the designers handle themselves amidst stress, competition and judgement. The ones who stand out are the ones who are committed to operating out of their own moral code and not anyone else's. Yay for art!

I wonder what will happen this Wednesday, as we are down to eight of them and they will be designing for the everyday woman.... I miss Alison already..she was so relaxed and in her own world....Oh man, listen to me!
