Can you cut patterns? Great. Handy with a needle and thread? Superb. Think you’re a cross between Yves Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood, with a sprinkle of Stella McCartney? Right on. But what the producers of ‘Project Runway’ really want to know -- according to the application to be a contestant on the show -- is this: ‘When was the last time you lost your temper?’ (In other words, please tell us that you threw your pinking shears and shrieked like a ferret on fire.)

The application for ‘Project Runway’ aspirants is posted here, and the deadline is Wednesday. You must include a virtual lookbook and a personal video journal. Oh, and do tell them about the ‘last time you cried’ and ‘what bothers you most about other people.’ (Um, I am always sobbing on the inside.)

Note to contenders: If past victors are any indication, be sure to include your catchphrase (‘Hot tranny mess!’) and cultivate a signature hairstyle that defies gravity.
