Yes, there are still looks to discuss from last week’s Project Runway, kittens. Let’s get to it. Ooooh, Kimberley, girl. We want to applaud your every move because you’re just so refreshingly drama-free, but we can’t really get behind this one. That’s a...
PR: Give me an A!The judges nailed it: cheerleader uniform. You could argue that, at worst, this is a simple but relatively inoffensive dress. It’s got a certain retro style to it and it does suit her to a T. But that’s the problem. Anthony essentially remade a couple of dresses that were... PR: When will we share Precious Moments?We figured we’d give Precious Moments his own little un-precious moment in the sun this week, since, despite his middle-of-the-road showing, he’s the one everyone wants to talk about. Not to get all preachy in a post we’re determined not to take seriously, but there... PR: Stylish and Style-lessY’know, upon reflection – because that’s what we do here at the T Lo Institute for Reality Television Studies; we reflect – except for one or two notable exceptions, pretty much everyone this week made a dress that you could find in a department store. That’s not... PR: Judging the JudgesTime once again to turn the tables on these judgmental bitches, darlings. Heidi Klum wears a Balenciaga top, Alice by Temperley skirt, YSL shoes. Wildlife by Heidi Klum jewelry. The combined total value of these pieces is probably way more than your mortgage payment and she managed to make... PR: Kukla, Nina & OllieY’know, if we weren’t so annoyed with them all the time, we’d almost feel a little sorry for the judges; especially Nina and Michael. Why? Because the words that keep coming out of their mouths during the judging sessions are so clearly not their opinions but the opinions... PR: Judging the Judges – Finale ShowOoooh, the ladies really brought their A-game to this one, kittens. Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, and L’Wren Scott pose on the runway at the Project Runway Spring 2012 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Theater at Lincoln Center on September 9, 2011 in New... PR: Team FunctionalFor all the ugliness and nastiness of this episode, we at least got to see a team that actually worked well together and produced interesting garments. We can all bitch about how oxygen-sucking Drama Vortexes make episodes like this tough to watch, but at least the right team won and the... Torchwood: “The Blood Line”Showrunner Russell T Davies and writer Jane Espenson have come in for quite a bit of criticism for this series and virtually all of it is warranted, in our opinion. Whether it was far too many scenes – and even entire episodes – that turned out to be nothing but filler; characters... PR: Team DSM IVKittens, you have no idea how odd it is for us to read at least a thousand comments and messages about an episode of Project Runway that we haven’t seen. Being out of the loop on anything Project Runway related is not something we’ve ever really experienced. Of course, sitting on... PR: Winner & Auf’eeWOW! How about THAT episode, kittens? With the fighting and the sewing and the crying? And that ONE dress! What were they THINKING? Oh, and that Josh. You just want to throw him off a pier, don’t you? Why, when he said that thing to that other designer and then he went behind their back... PR: Crawling Toward the Finish LineOh, god. Let’s just get this over with. This is the first time we’ve seen something of Anya’s where we thought, “Girl, WHAT were you THINKING?” But the more we look at it, the more we have to give her credit. She didn’t make a cocktail dress and add shit to... PR: Becky, Kimberley, ViktorDarlings, we’re busy trying on clothes and packing for Fashion Week and we (like, we suspect, you) are totally over the so-called “avant garde” episode of Project Runway. But we’re nothing if not completionists and the minions do like to pound a topic into submission,... PR: Welcome to “The Dress is Right!”We had an initial reaction to Laura’s dress that we’re pretty sure she didn’t intend. Namely: “Amy Irving made it to the prom after all!”But that was perhaps a bit too bitchy. … Naah. Let’s get this out of the way first: this is in no way avant garde.... Torchwood: “The Gathering”It said something good about this episode (to us, at least) that we felt, for the first time in about 5 episodes, that we absolutely had to sit down and watch it a second time before even attempting to put together our thoughts. Having watched it a second time now, we’re having almost... PR: Judging the Judges, Farm Team EditionDarlings, a distinct lack of fabulous Colombian-born fashion editors on the judging panel means the collective fierceness of the group was taken down several notches, but that doesn’t mean our bitchery takes the day off; no, ma’am. Just forget about Michael. He’s not playing... PR: Top Bitch and Bottom BitchDear Last Night’s Judging Panel, Are you kidding us? Are you fucking kidding us? What’s avant garde about a skirt made out of a theater backdrop and a top made out of tissue paper carnations? And how is it that this color combination had you all praising this look for being... PR: Weak TeaWe couldn’t help but picture Nina on her couch last night, drinking wine and snorting in derision at this debacle, thankful that she didn’t have to pretend she wasn’t looking at a runway full of Etsy castoffs. The concept behind the challenge wasn’t a bad idea: fashion... PR: Flo Don’t Do CliniqueNothing sums up the cracktacular results of this episode than the fact that we’re discussing the winning designer’s actual look last, because the look for which he won the challenge was designed and sewn by someone else. But first… She’s totally Flo, the Progressive... PR: Josh C and OlivierMan, are you guys as talked-out on this episode as we are? It’s hard to believe we still have looks to discuss. We can’t say they’re all worth discussing, but never let it be said that we’re not thorough. This was another look we thought the judges overpraised.... PR: Team BryceSomehow, Team Bryce managed to avoid any drama. Which means, of course, that we’ve all forgotten about them while we got caught up in Bert/Anthony/Becky/Josh drama. Sure, one member of the team got auf’d, but then again, doesn’t that tell you something? The teams that... |
