Your Challenge: Who Wins Project Cuties?
Aruuughh! I’m a little angry about this. Apparently the British have launched their spin-off of Heidi Klum’s “Project Runway” on Sky TV by having Liz Hurley host it and calling it “Project Catwalk.” (Her tagline is “I’m really sorry but fashion has no mercy.” Hah!)
But upon looking at the pictures I noticed there was just the cutest guy on the British version. IMHO, he makes Daniel V look like dog food. What do you think? Who’s cuter? Danny V or Un-named Cute British Dude? It’s like young Richard Ashcroft vs. the singer from The Thrills.
Oh and also, did you know there’s a freaking “Project Runway” magazine? Uh HUH.

1. Joe | 2:30 am on January 15th, 2006
The first person kicked off of Project Catwalk was a fantastic disaster worthy only of British television (and yes, our Brit in the red sweater is 100 times cuter (and a big gay, too!)).
2. laura | 2:40 am on January 15th, 2006
oh wait–he’s a gay? ’cause i think daniel V is straight…which therefore gives him an edge in the straight girl world
3. chicagomonkey | 5:56 am on January 15th, 2006
team daniel v all the way!
even before the show started, I looked at their headshots and was smitten.
just as long as he stays in profile mode. that nose can take on a world of its own sometimes.
4. Blair | 10:15 am on January 15th, 2006
I’ll have to go with the cute Brit boy on this one. As far as Daniel V goes, I love the hair but his face is a little too gaunt for my liking and his nose seems a bit crooked. He seems like a really sweet guy though. I read somewhere that Daniel V is actually bi.
5. Anonymous | 11:32 am on January 15th, 2006
Daniel V. is totally gay. Every man on that show is, aside from the booted Daniel F.
6. laura | 11:49 am on January 15th, 2006
oh crap.. from his official bio: “Though designing is Daniel’s principal passion, he has also achieved professional status as a dance instructor/choreographer as well as being a competitive national gymnast for 12 years. Daniel’s zest for life continues to expose him to new ideas and people, leading him to the cast of Project Runway. When he is not designing, Daniel intends to continue pursuing other interests such as learning the violin by the time he’s 25 and learning to surf before age 30.”
um…he was a DANCE INSTRUCTOR and GYMNAST? Maybe he is gay.
7. Anonymous | 1:55 pm on January 15th, 2006
even if he’s gay, Daniel V is cuter than britboy.
And Liz Hurley, gross, she’s such a wannabe.
NO comparison to Heidi.
Sorry Americans rule all the way on this.
8. Anonymous | 2:02 pm on January 15th, 2006
Maybe he has to act gay to succeed in the fashion world.
9. Satan | 2:51 pm on January 15th, 2006
No way, we may be Americans (some of us) but we aint freaking blind!! The BRIT guy is way cuter… like how is this even debatable? hehe.
FYI this is random but my sister saw Guadalupe in a FRYS in Burbank yesterday. She first noticed her clothes and said, her outfit is cute, then she saw her face under her I AM A CELEBRITY HAT and said, oh its that lady, no wonder.
10. Fo | 3:29 pm on January 15th, 2006
Ill have to go with Daniel V on this one. Daniel Vosevik. I like that last name too. Its too bad he cant just be “Daniel” because of stupid daniel Franco.
I think hes straight but…
dance instructor?? gymnast?? ouch.
british boy is cute but , i like big noses and richardashcroft.
british boy looks like a british ian somerholder(sp?) minus the blue eyes.
daniel v is my choice.
11. charlotte | 10:57 am on January 16th, 2006
curt britboy is called matthew. i watched it last night and pointed out his cuteness to my boyfriend, also named matthew. his reply was ‘well, he’s gay’.
jealous boys, eh?

14. laura | 3:18 pm on January 18th, 2006
Welcome Alex. Your brother = adorable. Found another article on Matthew:
CLICK HERE: Matthew Bowkett
but what’s up w/ the lame Project Catwalk official site? Doesn’t Sky TV have any money for that?!
15. Sam | 3:38 pm on January 18th, 2006
Oh my GOD. Are you people blind? That american boy looks like a weasel crossed with an impoverished Victorian child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. And who gives a crap about how ghastly Liz Hurley is!? Matt is CLEARLY the cuter of the two. I think you lot are getting patriotism confused with objective opinion.
16. Bianca | 4:42 pm on January 18th, 2006
i’m obsessed with Project Runway and Matthew [the british boy] is the fucking cutest one EVER. he’s BRITISH FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!!!! HELLO. . . everyone knows british guys beat americans in hotness
plus he doesn’t hog the bed and he doesn’t mind my snoring when i sleep over. haha
love my Mat
17. Ashley Houk | 8:37 pm on January 18th, 2006
I choose Mat, the brit. First of all, he once made me model Matthew Williamson gowns that cost more than my life for his fashion class, and he is by far the nicest man on the island. And, he’ll talk you through all your problems as you drunk cry in his room after a hard night at the pub. He’s got it all, brains, style, a huge heart and brilliant blue eyes that pierce your soul. Plus, he doesn’t look like he’s riding the H train.
18. Tim | 5:31 am on January 19th, 2006
hahahaha, yes my buddy Matt is a looker, but I’m worried to say that….cause i know he fancies me. xx to you Matt

20. lee um | 2:09 pm on January 19th, 2006
i dont have to live with matt but i bet if i did he’d make me watch are you being served, a british show which is shite. saying that the american guy looks like a hosepipe sucking a puppy. im abstaining from voting.

mat is good looking in an ordinary way, though i haven’t seen project catwalk and know nothing else about the guy.

[...] Whilst the War of Project Cuties rages on, I’ve continued to watch Project Runway. This episode was not dramatic (especially since Zulema isn’t around anymore to be RoboBitch), but nonetheless entertaining. If there was still any debate over Danny V’s sexuality, it was totally cleared up this week when he talked about how he only came out to his parents last year. Therefore Daniel V = Gay. How sad was it that Andrae had to go home this week? Granted, his dress did look like a “doormat” but I just wasn’t feeling Nick’s hoochie mama leaf dress. [...]

Him and his model are getting on very well to the much happiness of everyone else becasue they are amazing together! And that other guy your comparing my dearest Matthew to is just plain ugly! Sadly I do not think Matthew will be on the programme for much longer as he’s letting things get to him..bless his little cotton socks!

That “british guy” is actually called matthew and he used to like near me cause i live in britain and he is WWWAAAYYY cuiter than any american lad. they are either too scrawny (like the danny person) or wat too fat (whichmost of them are!)

i quite fancy chistopher from project catwalk. so much more that matthew. so there.
71. Matthew (but a different one) | 5:48 am on March 10th, 2006
Matthew is, indeed, lovely. Sensitive soul who needs an older man (eg. me) to take care of him. I think he’ll win it - you get that feeling from the way the show is being edited lately. The dress he did last night was definitely the best, although I was sorry to see Christopher go as he is very talented.
I loved the comment (way back in January - sorry, just noticed this site) saying that Liz H is gross and Heidi is fab, showing that Americans ‘rule all the way’. Last time I checked, Heidi Klum was born in Bergische Gladbach which I’m pretty sure is in Germany, not Iowa. Maybe the Americans rule part of the way.
Loving the show and the comments though. Doesn’t anyone on the inside know who won the whole thing? They’ll have decided by now.
72. laura | 8:25 am on March 10th, 2006
Daniel didn’t win Project Runway, so I guess if Matthew wins, he must automatically win Project Cuties.
73. Izabee | 11:34 am on March 10th, 2006
i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to know who wins!

Project Catwalk’s Matthew Bowkett…
Everybody we know is going through withdrawal since Project Runway ended last week. Besides being the most compelling reality show on television right now (barring perhaps this season of The Amazing Race), Proj:Run had a very high gay cuteness……

i think this is stupid.
WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU PEOPLE FIGHTING OVER A ‘COPIED AMERICAN TV SHOW’?
I think it is amazing that they even have these kind of shows and negative reponses will mean they will not air again.
Why are people uptight about the English version?
ITS LIKE AMERICA HAS NEVER STOLEN ANYTHING FROM ENGLISH WRITERS?
for example the no so classic remake of ‘war of the worlds’, once a fantastic book wrote but an english author.
you dont see me crying about it.
get over yourselves.

Yes it seems like Matt is the preffered choice but that doesnt mean Daniel is, excuse my phrasing… a weasel. Who are we to say what is beautiful or “cute.”.

First off, Project Catwalk came first, it just takes awhile to get to America from England and vice versa. And then I’d just like to say that Christopher Raeburn is by far the cutest and best designer on Project Catwalk and it’s a great shame he didn’t make it.
~the above was not meant in any harsh tones no matter how much the person reading it may feel it has been~
97. Taylor | 3:08 pm on June 12th, 2006

No contest!! Matt is such a cutie!! And the other guy, Danny looks like hes on crack, it scares me. Youre all blind if you think Danny is attractive.
