Here’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... Three We LikedWe’ve got a lot of catching up to do, Poodles! Hot. Hot to death. Daniel’s been pretty underwhelming up till now, but this was his breakout dress. Love the bustline and the straps. And we love the way he used the print, layering it to get exactly the effect he... Musical Monday: Gentlemen Prefer BlondesYes, it’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the sensational movie musical that teaches all girls the important lesson “There’s nothing you can’t have if you have a great set of tits!” Our story starts with Lorelei and Dorothy, two showgirls modeling Laura Bennett... Seeya Lupe!Lupe! Lupe! Lupe! Lupe! This concludes our critique of this garment. [Screencaps:... Here’s Brini!The other day, the adorable Eric3000 had an adorable post about his adorable apartment complete with, yes, adorable pictures. When we posted that we felt like we were watching the Brini Maxwell show and he told us he’d never heard of her before … kittens, we fell out. Can it be... S2/E5: Congratulations, Santino!This is definitely a case of recap/rethink. We always …if not exactly liked the dress, could see why it won and had no problem with the win. Once we got the screencaps though, we have to say this ain’t all that hot a frock. The color’s pretty and the braiding was kind of... Daniel Franco: Once More. With Feeling.“You see, Heidi, I don’t want to just “have sex” with a woman. I want to make love to her. Therefore, I think lingerie should be about making love and not about trashy, dirty, sweaty, marathon sex. Can you see my wispy little chest hairs from there? Should I move in... Showdown on the RunwayKittens, do you have any idea how hard it was to write this post? How do you make jokes about clothes that are ALREADY jokes? It’s ironic that Nick and Santino were making fun of Marla’s “whickety whack” last week, no? Since when does lingerie include tight pants? Oh,... Musical Monday: Brigadoon, Poodles!Ah, Brigadoon. The movie that asks that age-old question, “What if the Amish lived in Scotland and had magical powers?” Our movie starts with the charming little Scottish town of Brigadoon as its residents wake up to the sun’s rays and stroke their faces with flowers. Trust... Dirty DianaLike so much of what Diana does, this definitely had something going on even if the end product is a little bit of a head-scratcher. There was something about the concept that we responded to. It was definitely different and it had the potential to be interesting and sexy, but unfortunately,... Follow Your Bliss, Daniel!Boy, was THIS a bullshit auf’ing. Sure, the end product was dowdy and uncreative, but first and foremost, it looked like lingerie, which couldn’t be said about ANY of the other entries. Secondly, also unlike all the other entries, it was well made. And sure, making such a point... |
