Those whacky designers have done it again! Hey! Nora and Austin are wearing pieces from the Sarah Hudson dresses! How is it that we never noticed that before? We’re surprised they were allowed to take them out. Was Bravo not auctioning off the garments this early in...
SayaNora!WARNING! WARNING! We are heading into a bra-free zone! Please keep your hands inside the car and refrain from jumping up and down! Poor thing. She tried to give her client what she wanted and what her client wanted was the fashion equivalent of one of those 99-cent greeting cards covered in... Plastic FantasticWe both recently turned 40 and when that happens, one naturally tries to take stock in one’s life and in doing so, ask that most inevitable and important question: How much work should I get done? Oh, don’t look at us like that. Like you never asked the question? Not once? If the... S1/E5: Congratulations Kara Saun!And it’s Kara Saun for the win again! We couldn’t have agreed more. This gown was GORGEOUS. The one thing that T&L were in disagreement over was the trim around the neckline. Lorenzo loved it but Tom didn’t think it was necessary. God bless freeze-framing, because this... MORGANZA!!!!!!!We told you she was crazy, didn’t we? They should’ve just stapled a wig to her head. What she needs? She needs to up her dosage, that’s what she needs. We like the “Go down and get her.” Like she’s an unruly dog or something. This will now officially be... Homo for the HolidaysLike a lot of gay folks, we tend to bristle under the “tragic homosexual” label that so often gets hung on us. When we wrote a post we cut out a portion having to do with the “tragic messes” that can be found in most (actually, all) gay neighborhoods because we felt we... She’s a girl on the verge of a nervous breakdown.Y’know, we can’t even imagine the pressure these designers are under and we do try and take that into account when we sit back and judge them, but there really was no excuse whatsoever for Nora’s accusation and outburst. “I came here to compete.” Well you know... That Bitch is Crazy.Man, we knew she was nuts but even we were surprised at this one. Oh, sorry. Are we being unclear? Here, let us help you out: We repeat: THAT BITCH IS CRAZY. [Screencaps:... Crack-Smoking Judges Strike AgainTwo years later and we’re still not over the fact that this look was totally ignored. It was the only look on the runway this week that wasn’t 100% derivative. Original, striking and perfectly executed. Plus, Jay’s team was the only one that was completely devoid of any... Ciao, Vanessa!“Oh fuck, did I just say that out loud?” We didn’t think she was the one who needed to go, but unfortunately, she didn’t seem to be taking the competition as seriously as she could have and that became fairly obvious to the judges when she ran her mouth off on the... Congratulations Kevin!Oh, Melissa. What have they done to you? Not only would this not have been our choice for the win, we considered it the worst out of the three. We’ll grant you that a design challenge like this means you can pretty much throw everything out the window and do whatever you want, but this... Here is a story about a magical Princess.See the Princess jump. Jump, Princess, jump! See the Princess flap her hands dramatically. Flap, Princess, Flap! “Oh!” she thinks. “If only I could fly!” Why is the Princess excited? Because she knows that the PRGayBoys will be on the couch tonight watching Episode 4... The Rest of the RestAnd the retro train keeps rolling along. Funny how each designer seemed to pick a decade. Alexandra: 1930s, Austin: 1950s, Wendy: 1960s and now Vanessa: 1940s. We’ll give her credit for at least updating a 1940s look instead of simply redoing it outright. We don’t really like this... The Best of the RestWhat is it with all the retro stuff this week? True, Banana Republic did have a “Grandma’s attic” story to sell, but the designers went a little overboard. It’s pretty. The top and the neckline look great. Delicate and feminine, which definitely seems to be... Life Off the Fruit LoopWhen you’re an old gay married couple, as we are, you find that you have to put more effort into connecting with the gay community than you had to when you were young, cute and single (as we used to be). Much as we love our gay brothers and sisters, the community has its flaws and one... Fashionably WastedAh, when fashion and alcohol meet, it’s rarely a pretty sight. But it’s a laugh riot, you gotta admit. Did anyone else feel the dread when they started drinking? Darlings, the likelihood of us applying to be on a reality TV show is about equal to the likelihood of us suddenly... The Austin Tea PartyThis one definitely deserves its own entry. This dress is gorgeous and Nina was hitting the crack pipe just a little too hard this week. Yes, there’s a retro vibe to it, but no moreso than Wendy’s dress and one of the themes of Banana Republic’s... Modelicious!One of the very best things about S1 (from our admittedly gay perspective) was the fact that the models were a much bigger part of the process and subsequently there was much more model drama. And who doesn’t love model drama? Because of the way the model selection process was set up,... Kara SaunderfulSee what we meant when we said the garments suddenly got better with this episode? Not an art camp project among them. This is a 100% impact dress and while it’s not for every woman, the woman who can wear it is going to turn heads in it. We’ll grant you that a bright yellow is a... Jaysus ChryslerYou’ll have to pardon us, Kittens but this post is more than likely going to be sans bitchery. There’s simply not a bad word to be said about this dress. In our opinion, this is one of – if not THE – most beautiful garments ever produced for the show, whether in the... Unlucky StarrOy. The judges did a fine job of pointing out just what was wrong with this one, the most glaring problem being that it was clearly not in the Banana Republic style. That, and it was ugly. Here’s the thing: a dress like this, it’s not for everyone but we can definitely see it... S1/E3: Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?And it’s Crazy Lady for the win! Credit where credit’s due, Wendy pulled a winning design out of her ass this time. It’s pretty and well-executed and definitely designed with the client in mind. Our only real quibble is that it’s retro to the point of costumey. It... Forgettable, That’s What You AreAll we were going to do was post a one-line joke about this pic: Which, let’s just get out of the way now: She looks like someone beat her in the face repeatedly with a fingerpainting kit. Anyway, we realized we completely forgot to talk about her dress this week. Oh,... The Rest of the RestEw. We guess it’s supposed to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek but frankly, it’s bordering on the vulgar and again, we’re surprised the judges seemed to gloss right over it. This is just a great big what the fuck. For some reason, the designers this season seem determined to do... The Best of the RestThe PRGayBoys were in mild disagreement over this one. Lorenzo liked it a lot more than Tom did. It’s definitely bold and eye-catching. But penis envy, Robert? Puh-leeze. It wasn’t an original concept, but against what the other designers were doing, it stood out. It’s a... Taking a Stand on the Tough IssuesWe’re opposed to gay weddings. There. We said it. No, not gay marriage, Darlings. Believe us, we’re a hundred percent behind that. No, it’s the weddings with which we have a problem. Now, before we go any further, we are always thrilled to see two of our brothers or two of... |
