Okay, Revenge-o-philes. You may all settle down now and stop leaving pouty comments or sending demanding emails. We finally got a chance to get caught up with the show. It’s not that we lost interest, which is what many of you seemed to assume. We got a new TV and DVR/cable box, and...

This was kind of an odd episode, in retrospect. It had all the feeling of a table-setting episode; one where various characters and plot points are arranged just so, in order to pay off storylines later on. And those types of episodes are usually difficult to assess because it’s all so...

Oh, WHATEVER.   We suppose this is the part where we’re supposed to rant and then declare that Project Runway has RUINED EVERYTHING but we just can’t work up the energy. A marginally talented reality show contestant was awarded a prize over two other contestants who probably...

Darlings, let’s all head off to somewhere elegant, comfortable, and flattering.   The Nimb Bar, Denmark Because we have a feeling we’re all going to need to get falling-down drunk before it’s all over tonight. Carolyn Murphy, Georgina Chapman, Isaac Mizrahi, guest...

We’re getting a strong whiff of “Final season of Lost” from our television lately. We were two of those people who didn’t hate the Lost finale as much as the internet told us we were supposed to. No, instead we reserved our ire for its final season as a whole; a...

Oh dear. That didn’t take long. We’re afraid this episode represents pretty much everything that’s bad about the writing on Downton Abbey and all of Julian Fellowes’ worst instincts as a writer. The man has absolutely no sense of pacing and thinks plotting consists of...

Attention whores: PRESENT. Project Runway Season 11 -Teams Edition, premieres Thursday, January 24, at 9pm. Once again, we are faced with a fresh crop of drama queens, darlings. Because Lifetime won’t be happy until Project Runway is broadcast every hour of every day. So let’s do...

We have to admit, this was one of the better episodes of Project Runway we’ve seen in some time.   Sure, the setting helped.   As did getting a personal tour of the House of Valentino. Josh should’ve been thrown out for wearing those pants.   But we think a big part...

Oooh La La, kittens! We’re jetting off to Paris tonight to all sit in uncomfortable chairs and bask in very unflattering underlighting!   Le Bar Laduree, Paris We think we may have featured this bar more than any other single bar for T LOunge. One of these days, we’re going...

Okay, now what? With two more hours of storytelling left to go, we’re puzzled as to what’s left to talk about. Sure, Jude’s fate is still up in the air, as is Kit’s, but with Mary Eunice, Arden, and Thredson all dead, the story has seriously lost its steam. There are...

Once again, Victoria Grayson stands revealed as the absolute worst hostess in the history of the Hamptons. At some point, shouldn’t the press (not to mention the rest of the population of Hamptons) zoom in on the fact that every time she throws a party, someone dies, falls off a...

The trick to watching any episode of Downton Abbey – if one really needs a trick to get through it at all – is to look for that one perfectly “of its time” bit of dialogue and vow to use it in conversation in the coming week. For a second, we really thought...

We don’t really mind it all that much, but nothing says “reality show with many seasons under its belt” than wacky staging. Did we need to be on an aircraft carrier? Not really.   We have to give everyone involved some credit; first, for coming up with a worthy twist on...

Darlings, for our first T LOunge of the New Year, let’s all pack our panties and passports and jet off to Australia! Little Red Pocket in Melbourne, Australia Land of many interesting varieties of seating! Isaac Mizrahi, Georgina Chapman, Carolyn Murphy and guest judges Katie Holmes and...

Alrighty, then! Housekeeping time! Hey, remember all the whining about how they threw too many things at the wall for this season, what with the devil, the Nazi, the serial killer, the zombie mutants, and the aliens? Let’s wipe most of them out in one episode and just leave the serial...

Darlings, we apologize for the lack of a T LOunge last night. We were in a butter cookie coma and completely forgot about it, which should tell you something about how memorable we’re finding this season of Project Runway. Onward, though.   Not at all a bad challenge. Sure,...

One of the things that prevented us from ever truly embracing David Tennant’s run as The Doctor (,they wrote, inviting controversy and outrage to follow) was his version’s tendency to get awfully mopey and melodramatic. “Histrionic” is the word we’d use....

Goofy intro and staging – How about those banquet hall cafe tables at the end? – but at least it turned out to be a relatively fun challenge.   These types of challenges are always a bit hard on the designers because they have to be pre-loaded with a knowledge of the period...

Christmas in Stockholm, darlings! It’s like a Lifetime Christmas movie, with a curiously large budget and/or a very cocky art director! Café Opera, Stockholm Freaking fabulous. We want to go to there and then stay there indefinitely, catching the light as we look at fabulous things, all...

You heard us.   Mr. Press Release: “There is no “I” in “TEAM” but there is in “FASHION!” Project Runway’s Season 11 returns with a twist that throws 16 eager designers into a panic when they discover they will be participating in the series’ first-ever TEAMS EDITION, premiering...

“Hello, Designers! We are standing here for no good reason! Really! This setting has nothing whatsoever to do with the challenge you are about to undertake! By the way, can you even hear me right now?”   “What?” “Did she say something?” “The sun...
