Host Heidi Klum, this time with child, is back with my favorite guilty pleasure: Project Runway. Watching egotistical creatives duke it out in the fashion arena is a beautiful thing. They call it a catwalk because of all the catfights that occur on it–right? The show airs every Wednesday night on Bravo, and reruns umpteen times the week following. If you’re watching, you are in, and if you aren’t, you’re out of it. (Below I’ve provided those of you who missed the two hour season premiere with a cheat sheet, and a look at the second and first winning dresses, respectively.)
