Hello, 911? We’d like to report a robbery. We may have given the impression that we hate Andrae. That’s not it. We think he needs to pare down the bullshit and just express himself in his work, because when he does, he really demonstrates the soul of an artist. This was a unique...
Note (and pics) from GraceShe’s fabulous AND she’s crazy! “Hi boys. Grace Kelsey here. I’ve really enjoyed the posts about Season 2 and thanks to everyone for all the fine compliments. I’m flattered! I’m also pretty into the ongoing battle of the Hair Harpies. How exciting,... Seeya Shatangi!Yow. Not even Tarah could make this look good. We may have ragged on Daniel for having a somewhat uninspired inspiration, but for sheer lameness, nothing beats using a dress as inspiration for … a dress. Zulema really fell apart this week. We never really liked any of the stuff she made... S2/E8: Congratulations Daniel!This garment has been a point of contention in the T&L household for over a year now. Tom always thought it was a beautiful garment perfectly executed. Lorenzo always thought that basing your look on a flower is far from the most original idea in the world and didn’t warrant the... Daniel V & Nick: Recap/RethinkWe always hated this outfit, but looking at the screencaps, we wound up liking it a little more than we thought. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not crazy about it, but we don’t hate it anymore. The color’s pretty and the basic design is fine, if a little…well, basic.... Justify My Dance RecitalHere’s what we find so annoying about Andrae: he can’t just complete the task at hand; he has to make some sort of grandstanding statement all the time. Which is fine, but this is a reality show competition and it’s just not the place for you to be crying about past... Musical Mondays: My Fair LadyYes, it’s My Fair Lady, that fluffy, candy-colored musical about class distinction and prostitution for people too polite to O TannenBOMB!Grace, you fabulous bitch. This really should have been the winner, kittens. Sure, it was another “Chloe blue,” and yes, it’s probably not as form-fitting as Sasha would have liked, but it’s gorgeous – and it would have looked fantastic in motion. Although... Ice CapadesWarning: We are approaching critical gay mass. Meltdown imminent. What’s scary is, this is what the boys of 35D did when the cameras were on them. God knows what went on when the crew wasn’t around. Quentin Crisp called, Emmett. He wants his shirt back. It’s always fun when... Musical Monday: My Fair LadyYes, it’s My Fair Lady, that fluffy, candy-colored musical about class distinction and prostitution for people too polite to call it prostitution! Our story opens in turn of the century Covent Garden in London, where Audrey Hepburn attempts to pass herself off as dirty, poor Eliza... Santino: Put your head down and rest for a bit.You know, it’s really saying something when your dress can be accurately compared to a turkey, a baboon’s ass, and Carmen Miranda on acid all at the same time. It is at this point that the designer should take a moment to reflect. Perhaps in such cases a change of course is in... We’re still pissed.Lorenzo needed time alone last night to compose himself after we watched this again. This is the bullshittiest of bullshit judgments. Oh Not-Nina. How we hate you. Bitch needs to get the hell over her sour self and at least attempt to be consistent when she’s being a bitch. It was both... S2/E7: Congratulations Zulema!We’re sorry, but this is pure fugnificence. Imagine for a moment that this is flawlessly executed (I know, right?). Even without the puckery and ill-fittery, it’s just a hopelessly ugly and unflattering design. We honestly have no idea what the judges or Sasha saw in this thing,... Nicotino: Crash and BurnThis was a disastrously bad pairing of two opposing aesthetics and personalities. Santino’s all structure and form and occasionally deconstruction. Santino wants to make a statement. Whereas Nick’s all Glam! Fierce! Body! Nick wants to make an impact. The outfit isn’t... You better cry and cut!Sometimes – not always, mind you, but sometimes – the manipulated drama on Project Runway really does foster some interesting results. All too often, and probably to the producers’ delight, the drama produces nothing more than, well…drama, but this time it worked. This... Chloe & Emmett: You wuz ROBBED!This should have been the winner, poodles. No doubt about it. It was chic and stylish, perfectly executed, and the window looked fantastic. That skirt is hot. You know, normally we’d hate a big floppy bow on a blouse like this. Always makes us think of Lily Tomlin in “Nine to... Musical Monday: On the TownThe Harvey Girls today, but fate (in the form of an ice storm) kept us from getting to the videostore this weekend to rent it. Never ones to let our readers down, we went with On the Town, since we picked up a copy last month in a two-for-one deal with Brigadoon. Unfortunately…well,... Ciao, Ladies!Sometimes those judges can be a bunch of drama queens. Don’t get us wrong. For the most part, we agreed with their assessment that this was too severe, too retro (neither of which was helped by the styling) and just not the Banana Republic look. Add to that, some issues of poor... Congratulations Daniel and Andrae!Truth be told, we don’t love this outfit. The dress itself has some nice detailing and it’s well executed but we both went “Hunh?” when Nina called it “modern.” We were thinking exactly the opposite. It just looked so done to us. See, this just falls into... One we loved and two we absolutely HATEDY’know, we’ve given Andrae a lot of grief in the past, but credit where credit’s due, this is a really beautiful dress. It’s feminine, chic and understated, which is ironic because we wouldn’t have used ANY of those words to describe his previous entries.... Three More We LikedY’know, almost everyone brought their A game this week because there were an unusually high number of good entries. This is a reversal of the normal Project Runway blogging phenomenon known as recap/rethink. Normally, when we have to rethink a garment it’s because we... |
