All right, you judgmental bitches. LINE UP. Tuxedo Jacket and Pants by ALC. Fenton-Fallon Jewelry. It’s very sharp and photographs well. Not to mention, it’s flattering if you’re spending all your time on camera sitting down. Love that necklace she’s wearing and her...
PR: Weak and WearyUgh.Where to begin? A bird challenge at first seemed kind of arbitrary and weird, but the more we thought about it, the more we were okay with it – or would have been if they hadn’t mucked around with it so much. On the surface, it was a fine idea; designers take inspirations from... PR: Ripping the Collections – Anthony RyanAt the time, we were hoping Anthony Ryan was a finalist because he had one of the stronger collections shown that day. Pitched as a sort of love letter to his hometown of New Orleans (with the still-visible water marks from the Katrina flooding referenced in the blue makeup on the... PR: Someone needs a nap and a slapOh, Miss Kimberly. You are making us very sad. We think you’ve got the talent and the style to go all the way in this competition but your work is getting weaker and weaker with each challenge. And how you managed to squeak by without comment this week is a mystery to us. Because this... “Asian F”NOW do you believe us when we say that Glee season 3 heralds a return to greatness for the show? We’ll even be magnanimous and admit that we were wrong when we predicted that this season would be all about the four main characters of Finn, Quinn, Rachel and Kurt. Happily wrong; because... PR: Funny GirlWe’re at that point in a Project Runway season that we find ourselves every year, when the commentariat seems to hate certain designers way more than we do. We think Laura’s hilarious. Probably unintentionally so, but still; she’s constantly shooting off her mouth and... Doctor Who, Terra Nova, and HomelandOur TV blogging roster is pretty heavy right now, and about to get heavier with the Walking Dead season 2 premiere less than two weeks away, but we figured we’d give our thoughts on some of the more notable television offerings out there. Because “opinionated” is in the... PR: The Grownup’s TableOne of the best things about Bert as a contestant – and probably the number one reason why the other contestants are threatened by him – is that he’s an utter pro when he’s on that runway talking to the judges. He knows his references and he knows how to explain... “Ourselves Alone”As per usual with the theme-heavy scripts of Boardwalk Empire, stray bits of dialogue reveal the larger story. As Eli says to Nucky when it becomes clear that the noose is tightening and he’s holding the other end, “Nobody takes power. Somebody else has to give it to them. Look... “We’ll Always Have Paris”As much as we love this frothy, poodle-pink confection of a show for what it is (a sort of Happy Days-slash-Love Boat redux set in the Camelot era), we can’t help spending most of the episode yelling at the TV because of the hair. They’re doing that thing that a lot of period... PR: Crash and Burn at The Clinique CounterCould it be, kittens? Could it be possible that the cracks are finally showing in the narcissistic facade? Because this was the first time this season where it seemed like all of the designers and even all of the judges were aware of his shortcomings, both the creative ones and the... PR: The ShouldabinViktor’s slowly inching up the ladder to become our favorite of the season. Whether through editing or through self-awareness, we’re no longer getting the lame attempts at a catchphrase (“Oh my Lord of the Rings” was never as clever as he seemed to think), but he... PR: Judging the JudgesHere’s some judging: WE HATE YOU YOU’RE STUPID GOODBYE. Aw, we can’t stay mad. We can, however, judge. Nina is wearing a Miu Miu dress. It’s chic and breezy in that summer kind of way. Love the edginess added by the dog collar necklace. The shoes could have been a... PR: Whatevs.We’re not gonna do it. We refuse, kittens. We just can’t spend another Friday morning getting all ragey at the judges and/or producers. Rage, after all, indicates a high level of engagement; an interest in the outcome. Rage means the producers have done their jobs. Well,... PR: Ripping the Collections – OlivierPrecious Moments never got the chance during the competition to show the judges what he’s capable of. Or at least, what he prefers to do. He struggled mightily (to our eternal annoyance) with pretty much all the constraints of producing a garment in a gameshow setting and under gameshow... “I am Unicorn”We can think of no better illustration that we’re in the world of nuGlee than this: All the characters didn’t go around trying to shoehorn the “unicorn” idea into every conversation and the script didn’t try to draw clumsy parallels between the action of... PR: Nothing says “Rockstar” like a pretty b...Oh God. Let’s just get this over with. We have absolutely no recollection of this look. We kind of love this guy because he’s laughing his ass off in every picture. Wouldn’t you? “Who looks ridiculous? THIS guy!” That fabric is hideous, but we like the red piping... “21”We read Mo Ryan’s take on the first six episodes of the coming season and it makes us kind of sad. Mo, lead critic for AOL TV and someone whose opinions on most shows line up perfectly with our own (because she’s an unrepentant nerdy girl), thinks that this season is, if anything,... PR: Cindy Braidy and Post-Rehab ShaggyWho’s a little teapot? YOU are! … … Look, we’ll freely admit that Bert’s entry was definitely one of the better ones and that he made some smart decisions, but we’re still finding it hard to work up the words to discuss any of... Pan Am isn’t Mad Men, ThankfullyLike a lot of people who pay attention to these sorts of things, we rolled our eyes a bit when this television season’s two Mad Men ripoffs, The Playboy Club and Pan Am, were announced. We immediately declared the former not interesting to us (and judging by the reviews, we were right... PR: Ripping the Collections – BryceIt’s time for that annual T Lo tradition of ripping the Project Runway decoy collections, darlings! Not to be mean, but we don’t think anyone in that tent believed for a second that Bryce was presenting anything other than a decoy collection. He’d failed to wow the judges in... |
