Project Runway Postulate #137B

Because if anything is lacking from this incisive dog-and-pony show of a blog, it's PR commentary.

Today's theory: Gay men love Laura Bennett but are far exasperated with Kayne Gillaspie. Somewhat contrarily, women (of varying attractional identities) are enamored with Kayne but hate Laura.* Discuss.

I have found very few exceptions to my theory. These two designers are arguably the two in most danger of being eliminated before the finals, with many sources already predicting a Michael/Jeffrey/Uli top three. The two stand on opposite sides of the design spectrum and, as if that weren't enough, aren't really known for getting along with each other. So whose opinion is more valid? The female viewership who would ostensibly be wearing the designed garments and who just love a florid-minded, redheaded gay boyee? Or the gay men that appreciate a prim, attractive olderish woman who never strays from all that is well-tailored and tasteful?

You can probably guess how I feel about the issue. Nonetheless, with Vincent's departure marking the end of this season's hangers-on, this week's elim is going to be affecting no matter who it is, as these five have proven themselves pretty damn well over the weeks. It should be exciting. Now I just wish I hadn't put Allison Kelly in my final three prediction after the casting special.

*Currently, no assumptions could be made for straight men as the sample size is far from significant.
