Dear Project Runway Jackhole

(For those of you who don't watch it, here's an article describing it. http://theclicker.today.com/_news/2012/08/24/13458082-project-runway-designer-slams-plus-size-model-leaves-her-in-tears?lite. To Bravo/Andy Cohen, my apology for using your coined phrase on a Lifetime show.)

Dear Project Runway Jackhole,

The challenge was to design something for a "real" woman. The model you drew was a size 14. Size 14. As in the size of the average American woman.

But you'd have thought she had a hump back, second head and unicorn horn by your reaction.

You behaved shamefully and should be horrified by your treatment of her, but I know you're not.

Newsflash: She already knows she's bigger than your average model. She already knows it's hard to fit her body because she deals with it every time she goes to the store. She already knows there are assholes like you in the world that pass judgement on her and treat her as if she's positively repulsive.

You embarrassed this woman on national TV. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Every time you pulled out a belt and tried it on her, declaring, "It's way too small," you failed to notice the embarrassment and pain in her eyes.

Every time you lamented out loud, in front of her, about how impossible a challenge this was (in other words, how horrible she was), you didn't see her get that look of wishing the floor would swallow her whole, nor do you care that that's how she feels every single time she goes into a fitting room.

Every time you failed to notice how she felt, or THAT she felt, you reinforced all of the bullshit she carries around inside of her, making her feel like she's not worth anything.

And to top it all off, you gave her the quintessential fat girl dress. Tacky fabric, grandma sleeves, badly proportioned, ill-fitting crap.

Which proves to me you are not a talented designer. And it also proves that you are a horrendous human being.

Oh, and by the way, YOU ARE A PLUS-SIZED DUDE! I get the fact that your head is so far up your own ass to get the irony of this simple point.

The good news is that you made yourself look like a tool on national TV. Way to kick off your career, douche bag.

And, P.S. to TLC's "What Not to Wear" crew ... Call this woman. Get her on your show and help her feel beautiful.
