I love, love, love Project Runway. The contestants, the judges, the wacky designs … it’s the best reality show on TV.

And it’s a romance novel just waiting to happen.

Think about it. You’ve got all the elements of a good romance. Lovable characters (Kayne!), divas (Laura), strange folks (Vincent, anyone?), drama, catfights, people struggling to overcome obstacles (mainly the weird challenges, like make something out of trash). All that needs to happen is to have love blossom between two of the contestants — or a contestant and a judge.

Can the two lovebirds remain true to their hearts? Or will they backstab each other to make it to the next round? Will the other contestants find out about someone’s secret sewing session with the guest judge of the week? Or will their illicit love affair destroy them both? Tune in next week on Project Runway: Romance.  

Wouldn’t that make for a great book? Just remember, I thought of it first.
