Advertise on podcast: Blood Orange: We are SO Pretentious

Here we go again. Season 11 episode 1. We think. This season the designers are stuck in teams. They are challenged with creating a garment that showcases them as a designer inspired by NYC but they're also supposed to use the input of them team members. We also go on tangents about how much group projects in school sucked, reality tv gimmicks, twins, Mary Kate and Ashley, being star struck in general, dogs, indie bookstore day, and The Pit.

Listen to us complain about the finale and then go on tangents for almost as long as we talk about the episode. We take a minute to listen to our namesake, blood orange. We fixate on how the episodes are edited. We talk about Who Framed Roger Rabbit, cybertrucks, Daiso, window shopping, mallrats, the books we're reading, kids on social media, tiktok, burning man, a heavily edited story about a rave, miniatures, and politcal history. This episode was hell to edit.

We're back from a short break in which we've still been recording episodes but I haven't been uploading them because we had to change the program we recorded and it's become obnoxious to edit. So anyway, yay for the season 10 finale part 1! In which Tim Gunn travels around the country to visit the finalists and the judges see their mini collections and decide which of them will go on to show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. We also talk about why Caitlins name isn't Caity, what we did for St. Patricks day, early 2000s high school fashion, federal monuments, Sacramento museums and things to do on the weekend, cyber trucks, road rage, news stories and politics from 2025, sorry, lol, Vivian Wilson, rent in San Francisco and we STILL didn't get a Blood Orange clip. How Rude.

Today we watched Season 10 Episode 12 of Project Runway and we had to tragically change how we record... so now we have video? That's not intentional and I have no idea if it's going to last. It should have been our moment but our moment was cut out. Devastated.

We're back from an extended break and on todays Project Runway the designers are making clothes for babies. We also compare Trump to Henry the 8th, talk time travel, Jurassic Park, a wide variety of random tv shows, babies r us, home ev classes, robot babies, maternal mortality and abortion bans, and finally camping tents. We probably talk about other stuff too but I was busy and stopped taking notes for the description. Suffice to say this is a big one of tangents.

Today we fully intended to talk about season 10 episode 10 of Project Runway, the one where the designers were challenged to make a new costume for the Rockettes, but in reality we just went on hundreds of tangents and instead talked about: Folsom Zoo, Folsom Prison, Tory Amos, Kate Bush, Lady Gaga, high school cliques, Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Debra Messing, Traitors, among other things.

Today we're talking about season 10 episode 9 of Project Runway, this is this seasons textile challenge! And Mondo back to help and judge. We also talk about the newest season of Project Runway, must about changing the topic of the podcast entirely, the fate of Tiktok, geography, and books.

This week we watched Season 10 episode 8 of Project Runway. The designers were sent out into the street to earn their own money to fund this weeks design. Trigger warning: This was recorded in February and during the second half we talk about "current events" such as prices going up, Canada, trade wars, politics, philosophy, immigration, nazi salutes, birth right citizenship, Hank Green, Selena Gomez, contacting our representatives, etc etc etc We also go on a couple other tangents: our own negotiating skills, a person we knew passing away, tie-dyeing.

Trigger warning: at around the 39 minute mark there is a several minute discussion about disordered eating. We've watched season 10 episode 7 of Project Runway, they're designing for Lord & Taylor. There's minimal drama and we go on lots of tangents. Such as: America's Next Top Model, the book podcast that could have been, The Handmaids Tale, baking donuts, the train museum in Sacramento, miniatures, train rids, and our plan to blame Elon Musk.

It's season 10 episode 6 of Project Runway, it was the l'oreal hair challenge and Project Runway had people nominate their most fashionable challenged friends to get a make over. Tangents - toxic reality tv shows, what we're currently reading, our favorite books of 2024, Chappell Roan. Also, important: Trigger warning for a lot of political talk. We recorded this the day before the inauguration and right now the government is terrible and people are being hurt. We talk about that a lot.

This episode we watched season 10 episode 5 of Project Runway. It was a team challenge and the designers were challenged with creating a cohesive line to be photographed for Marie Claire at Work. We also do a throwback to two episodes ago and read some commentary from Laura Bennet's blog. Tangents- going viral, losing tiktok, ai social media accounts and internet literacy.

We're watching season 10 episode 4 of Project Runway and the designers are dropping like flies. In the meantime, they visit the Michael Kors flagship store and are told they'll be designing for the woman on the go. We also talk about: The Roseville Gallery and other malls, Shien, thrift stores, the Olsen twins and what books we're reading.

As we struggle through learning all these new contestants names, on Episode 3 of season 10, the challenge brings back a few familiar faces as clients. The designers are challenged with designing a look for their client to wear on the red carpet. We also talk about The Real World and it's spin offs, how reality tv killed sitcoms, and is tiktok really going away?

Digging into Season 10 of Project Runway, we're back with episode 2. The designers are let loose in a candy store. We also talk about America's Next Top Model, The Real World, the Tiktok ban, Spotify Wrapped, and various podcasts we like (other than this one of course)

We thought it would never happen but we have officially made it to the Blood Orange season, prepare to be disappointed. We go over who the new designers are and who we recognize. Tangents - Fabio is a freegan and we talk about dumpster diving and food banks, we try to remember what we were doing in 2012, the Barbie movie, cyber trucks, Sabrina Carpenter, Miwok books at Chaw'se, thanksgiving plants (ok I'm a bit behind on posting)
