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...
TLOungeChristmas 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... Zac Posen Replaces Michael Kors on Project RunwayYou 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... PR All Stars: Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons“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... T LOungeDress modestly, ladies! We’re heading off to DUBAI, where the money flows like honey! Cirque du Soir Bar and Club, Dubai It’s about time we all headed out to someplace cray-cray, right? Guest judges Lala Anthony and Kylie Minogue with Isaac Mizrahi, Georgina Chapman and... American Horror Story: The Coat HangerMy goodness, we’re getting awfully spoiled now. Two episodes in a row with linear narrative techniques and events following each other with something that resembles a natural progression. In fact, when the episode opened with a whole bunch of characters framing Sister Jude for the... PR All Stars: It’s Not Easy Being GreenWhat a total snooze of an episode. A “make a pretty dress” challenge that they tried to – pun unintended- dress up with a totally unrelated visit to the High Line and the imposition of a “green” restriction, which really only meant that the designers were all... TLOungeIt’s Thursday, darlings! And we all know what that means! Time to celebrate that it’s the day before the day the weekend starts! The end is in sight, y’all! Now let’s all jet off to Munich and sit in a dark bar, looking mysterious, shall we? The Martini Club, Munich... American Horror Story: Unholy NightIt really says something about this show that we considered the episode with the psychotic Santa Claus threatening to rape a nun with a crucifix to be something of a respite from all the craziness going on. We suppose it’s up to the individual to decide whether that’s a good thing... Elisabeth Moss Shooting “Mad Men”Check out Miss Peggy, looking all late-6os fabulous! Elisabeth Moss filming ‘Mad Men’ at Little Dom’s restaurant in Los Angeles. Okay, we lied. That’s more late ’60s frumpy, but it would have been considered stylish at the time. We’re pretty damn close to... Revenge: RevelationsWe were shocked to find out, after the fact, that this episode was titled “Revelations,” because, from where we’re sitting, the episode was woefully short on that front. This seems to be the day where we complain about vagueness in our TV shows, but we’ve got to go... The Walking Dead: Made to SufferWatching that very confusing firefight, as the Grimes posse invaded Woodbury to rescue Glen and Maggie, the question occurred to us: Who are we supposed to be rooting for here? You could – and by all means should, if you’re so inclined – argue that a story doesn’t... PR All Stars: Boys on the SideY’know? This was a pretty good challenge, as so-called “avant garde” challenges go. Androgyny can be tough for some designers – especially the ones in this lot, who probably figured they could make it through the competition churning out pretty dresses until the... T LOungeWe’re back in business, darlings! Tonight, we’re jetting off to SHANGHAI! CLOUD 9 Bar at Grand Hyatt Shanghai Gorgeous, no? We’ll start a tab. Isaac Mizrahi, Georgina Chapman, Carolyn Murphy and guest judges Jason Wu and Robert Rodriguez. Boys tonight, kittens.... American Horror Story: “Origins of Monstrosity...We can accept – we have no choice, really – that American Horror Story defies conventional storytelling techniques and that it’s going to gleefully keep throwing things in the air in order to keep our attention. That’s the show. That’s always been the show.... RPDR All Stars: Iron Queen CompetitionWe’re not gonna lie, kittens. After writing as many words as we have on the topic, it gets pretty tough trying to come up with any thoughts on the latest reality competition; especially when it’s the wrapup of fairly lackluster season that nonetheless ended well. Not that we... Revenge: LineageAs much as we think main-character voiceover narration is a cheesy storytelling device, we kinda missed it with last night’s episode. Then again, they were hitting the one theme so hard – that revenge is cyclical and that it plays out again and again with each generation –... The Walking Dead: When the Dead Come KnockingAll right, Glen! Okay, maybe that’s not the right tone to strike when reviewing an episode as bleak and horrifying as this one, but his feral and triumphant one-on-one while cruelly locked in a room with a walker was exhilarating in a lot of ways, and it tied into something that’s... RPDR All Stars: In Your Satin Tights!Of COURSE we didn’t forget, darlings! Think of it as our little pre-Thanksgiving gift to you. Complete with meat. Good GOD, those ladies look ROUGH. This was cute enough, we suppose. We find ourselves missing the occasional photo shoot. These challenges are designed to put the queens in... Lea Michele and Chris Colfer on LocationLorenzo is currently shrieking like a tween girl at a One Direction concert and Christmas is once again ruined in the T Lo household. But first, pictures: Lea Michele and Chris Colfer film for their show ‘Glee’ near the NY Public Library and Bryant Park in New York City. Brooks... The Walking Dead: “Hounded”If you’ve been reading our Walking Dead reviews for any length of time, then you know we’ve been a bit nervous about the depiction of Michonne. In the books, she’s such a memorable and starkly realized character who upends a ton of conventions in fiction as to how women... |
