2009.07.14 14.52 Terrible Movie Boyfriends Battle 6 Sometimes I am really surprised by the outcome of these face-offs. I totally thought that Allison was going to win yesterday and that everyone would be all like "I've never seen Steel Magnolias so I vote Breakfast Club." And yet, Annelle's Fundamentalist ways carried her to an epic win over Allison's high school kleptomania, which many of you opined she would get over. Today we have the battle of the super blockbuster romantics! Will Turner from Pirates of the Carribean VS. Jack Dawson from Titanic  VS.  In the red corner, Will Turner - a poor blacksmith who knows how to use a sword. Of course, he learned how to used a sword so that when he met a pirate he could kill him. He's all sorts of hating on pirates until he learns that his dad was one and then he's like "just kidding, I am a pirate now." He expects people to be honest and upstanding, and seems constantly surprised by others going back on their word. Wouldn't you eventually catch on? Also, Will seemingly has no sense of humor. In the blue corner, Jack Dawson - poor, scrappy, and quick-witted, he likes to save rich girls from ridiculous suicide attempts and then charm his way into their pants. He's pretty vocal about social class disparities, but a smooch and a little wind in his hair is enough to convince him that he's the king of the world. He likes lying and sketching women. Unfortunately, his art is not very good so you would end up posing nude for multitudes of mediocre drawings. And then you have to tell him that you like it. Ugh!

2009.07.13 12.10 Terrible Movie Girlfriends Battle 5 Welcome to another week of play! Stifler soundly trounced Spicoli in the Boyfriends Battle 5. Let's see which of today's contestants you find more annoying! Annell Dupuy Desoto from Steel Magnolias VS. Allison Reynolds from The Breakfast Club  VS.  In the blue corner, Annelle Dupuy Desoto - a shy, anxious woman whose marriage dissolved when her husband took all of her clothes and the car and ran off. She went through a period of drinking, smoking, cursing, and partying but now is a religious fundamentalist. She doesn't want your beer in her Frigidaire, but she does want to pray for you. In the red corner, Allison Reynolds - needy and desperate for attention, this girl is poised to dump out the carefully planned contents of her purse at any moment. She steals wallets, pretends to be a nymphomaniac, and admits to being a compulsive liar. She has terrible dandruff, and looks better without all that black shit under her eyes. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your girlfriend or your friend's girlfriend.

2009.07.10 10.24 Terrible Movie Boyfriends Battle 5 In a shocking (at least to me) upset, Avery Bishop gave Kelly the smackdown to advance to the semi-finals. After four rounds of play, we have the following semi-finalists: Boyfriends Large from Garden State Billy Loomis from Scream Richie Tenenbaum from The Royal Tenenbaums Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Ep. 2 & 3 Girlfriends Clementine from Eternal Sunshine... Sara Thomas from Serendipity Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's Avery Bishop from Jerry Maguire And now on to today's battle of the blonde teen movie boys! Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High VS. Steve Stifler from American Pie  VS.  In the red corner, Jeff Spicoli - he's got no job, he's got no money, he's always stoned, and to him surfing is a way of looking at the wave and saying, "Hey bud, let's party." Kind of a chucklehead, but on the plus side, he has a great appreciation of pizza. In the blue corner, Steve Stifler - he's an sex-crazed jock, fairly arrogant, likes to bully his friends and throw wild parties. He's the type of guy who is more interested in what a girl looks like than what she says. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your boyfriend or your friend's boyfriend. Vote with your heart. Feel free to stump for your candidate in the comments.

2009.07.09 11.43 Terrible Movie Girlfriends Battle 4 In the closest race yet, Anakin Skywalker barely won yesterday's battle by 2 votes. I thought we were going to have to go to a tie-breaker, and honestly, I haven't figured out what that would be yet. On to today's match up: Kelly from Lost in Translation VS. Avery Bishop from Jerry Maguire  VS.  In the blue corner, Kelly - extremely bubbly American film actress, has a lot in common with Keanu Reeves (they both live in LA and have two dogs), likes to stay in hotels under the name Evelyn Waugh, and will tell you if she has terrible B.O. Likes to take over singing with the jazz trio at the hotel bar late at night. Somehow she has a hard time being taken seriously. In the red corner, Avery Bishop - driven career woman who believes there is no real loyalty. She doesn't cry at movies, she doesn't gush over babies, she doesn't buy Christmas presents 5 months early, and she doesn't tell the guy who just ruined both of their lives "Oh poor baby." So, generally not supportive. On the plus side, she asks that you never stop fucking her. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your girlfriend or your friend's girlfriend. Vote with your heart. Feel free to stump for your candidate in the comments.

2009.07.08 10.45 Terrible Movie Boyfriends Battle 4 It was another close race for most of the day, but Holly Golightly proved to be the more annoying girlfriend in Round 3. On to Round 4! Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Episodes 2 & 3 VS. Billy Madison from Billy Madison  VS.  In the red corner, Anakin Skywalker - a Jedi knight in training who enjoys brooding, whining, and being pensive. He says when he's around you that his mind is not his own, which could either be a compliment or an accusation, considering his profession. Oh also, future life goals include being Darth Vader. In the blue corner, Billy Madison - man-boy extraordinaire. He is happy to live off of his father's money until push comes to shove and he has to go back to school to prove he's not a dope. Except that it gets hard when he has to get through 9th grade again and he just about quits. He's fun-loving to a fault, and when confronted by your beauty would most likely yell "BOOOOOOOOBS!"

2009.07.07 11.36 Terrible Movie Girlfriends Battle 3 Yesterday's battle was very close through most of the day, but at the 11th hour Richie Tenenbaum triumphed as the more annoying boyfriend. Game. Set. Match. Today we have a match up of girls who like to wear gigantic hats and make out with dudes in the rain. Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's VS. Carrie from Four Weddings and a Funeral  VS.  In the blue corner, Holly Golightly - a flibbertigibbet of epic proportions. Her cat doesn't have a name, she insists on calling all men Fred, she sleeps in a bathtub, and she visits Sing Sing weekly where she naively helps out a mob boss in return for a weekly salary. In polite terms, Holly is a kept woman, so you'd better be prepared to pay for dinner! She enjoys petty theft, parties, planning to marry millionaires, and not facing up to reality. In the red corner, Carrie the American - pretty, loose, used to work at Vogue and only goes out with very glamorous people. Unfortunately, she is unendingly dull and not terribly interested in more than a one night stand here or there. Though native to America, Carrie can usually found in England attending many weddings and few funerals. On the upside, you can take her out in any weather as she doesn't seem to notice rain.

2009.07.06 11.57 Terrible Movie Boyfriends Battle 3 Well, we have two new most annoying significant others to add to the finalist list: Billy Loomis mopped the floor with JD and Sara Thomas soundly trumped Anna Scott. Here's our finalist list so far: Boyfriends Large from Garden State Billy Loomis from Scream Girlfriends Clementine from Eternal Sunshine... Sara Thomas from Serendipity (which I refer to in my head as Serencrapity) Today we have a Terrible Movie Boyfriend Battle of neurotic proportions! Alvy Singer from Annie Hall VS. Richie Tenenbaum from The Royal Tenenbaums  VS.  In the red corner we have Alvy Singer - sometimes inexplicably called Max, a comedian who feels insecure about you smoking grass before having sex with him. If you decide not to get back together with him watch out: your words will be transformed into a play where the outcome is what he originally hoped. On the up side, he'll buy you lobsters. On the down side, he is afraid of lobsters so you have to do all the work. In the blue corner we have Richie Tenenbaum - a former tennis pro known as The Baumer who had an on-court meltdown and now just sort of travels around, doing whatever. He has a big boner for his (adopted) sister. Doesn't handle the news of former lovers well and may react to your "number" by self-harming. One good thing, you can easily convince him to take up smoking. Oh, and he has a hawk. Take that as you will. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in.

2009.07.02 16.48 Terrible Movie Girlfriends Battle 2 The polls are still open for Terrible Movie Boyfriends Battle 2, but since I have tomorrow off (!) I wanted to post Girlfriends Battle 2. Tonight, we have a battle of epic proportions! Sara Thomas VS. Anna Scott  VS.  In the blue corner, Sara Thomas - a sentimental lady obsessed with fate and what's "meant to be." So cute and coy, she spends an entire romantic day with you but won't tell you her last name and instead of giving you her number, writes it in a book AND THEN SELLS THE BOOK. But, she's perfectly willing to dump a hot fiancé for you if you are somehow able to track her down. In the red corner, Anna Scott - hugely famous American film actress who hides her long term relationship from potential suitors. She makes you help her learn her lines, blames you for any paparazzi who might follow her, and has unfortunate nude pictures floating around in the press. But, she is just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. In flipflops. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your girlfriend or your friend's girlfriend. Vote with your heart. Feel free to stump for your candidate in the comments.

2009.07.02 10.23 Terrible Movie Boyfriends Battle 2 Clementine was the hands down winner of Girlfriends Battle 1, though many of you mentioned that you have dated "her" in the past. Interesting. Today's Terrible Movie Boyfriend battle is, a real killer! (And admittedly, a little silly.) Billy Loomis VS. Jason "JD" Dean  VS.  In the red corner, Billy Loomis - cute, devoted boyfriend who turns out to be a little bit mentally unstable. (We've all been there, right?) Totally loves scary movies and special effects. Unfortunately, his hobbies include (spoilers!) killing your mom, all of your friends, and eventually trying to kill you. On the plus side, he kinda looks like Johnny Depp. In the blue corner, Jason "JD" Dean - rebel with a cause, and that cause is death to the popular kids! He calls his dad "son," manipulates you into being his accomplice, and kind of tries to blow up the school. Don't drink any hangover remedies this guy concocts! On the plus side, he won't make fun of your monocle. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your boyfriend or your friend's boyfriend. Vote with your heart. Feel free to stump for your candidate in the comments.

2009.07.01 09.47 Terrible Movie Girlfriend Battle 1 Wow, Large from Garden State ran away with the first face-off. Impressively done, slightly fictionalized version of Zach Braff. Today we have our first girlfriend battle and I have a feeling there are going to be some impassioned responses to this one. Betty Rizzo VS. Clementine Kruczynski  VS.  In the blue corner, we have Rizzo - a tough talking broad who hates all of your friends and openly mocks anyone who looks at her sideways. She's moody and mean to you in front of said friends. In the red corner, we have Clementine - a risk-taker who enjoys breaking into strangers' beach houses, sleeping around on you, and then erasing you from her mind. Literally. Her relationship cycle is to fall in love, then get bored, and feel trapped. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your girlfriend or your friend's girlfriend. Vote with your heart. Feel free to stump for your candidate in the comments.

2009.06.30 12.03 Terrible Movie Boyfriend Battle 1 Here's the thing about some of the most beloved men and women in romantically-minded films: they would be the most annoying people ever to date. Over the course of this summer, I'd like to host a bunch of face-offs to see who would be the most annoying boyfriend and the most annoying girlfriend. And today, my friends? We have a battle royale (with cheese). Andrew "Large" Largeman VS. Lloyd Dobler  VS.  In the red corner, we have Large - a clinically depressed twentysomething who falls in love with you once he goes off his meds. He leaves his life and career in LA just to hang out and listen to the Shins with you! In the blue corner, we have Lloyd - a guy whose life ambition is the be a great boyfriend. Let it be said that he doesn't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. He doesn't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. The Rules of Voting: Don't think of these characters in the movies you've seen them in. Think of them pulled out of those movies, suddenly in your life as your boyfriend or your friend's boyfriend.

She is congratulating everyone and standing right behind the producer. 11:05 and we're out.

2009.05.13 11.42 In less annoying news.... Wanna do something together this afternoon? I am going to donate to Ben Schtune's MS Bike Ride fund this afternoon. You should too! It's fun and it helps people! Donating is a lot easier than riding your bike to the shore! Take it from me, I never ride a bike! |

2009.05.05 13.54 Sexy singers So I was listening to Ryan Adams while I walked to the (ugh) Gallery at lunch and I got all swept up in how sexy his voice is. Seriously, I was not able to get over it. Then I was listening to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Karen O - M -G, her voice is super sexy too. So I thought I would pose this question to you: which singers do you think have the sexiest voices? Followup: who do you like listening to but don't think their voice is sexy at all? I mean, I really like Elvis Costello but he does not have what I would call a sexy voice. |

2009.04.09 16.00 Love I cried to Aaron about how I'm not eating well because I'm back in rehearsal and everything is going down the tubes about eating well and not drinking during the week, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. And you know what he did in response? Made an enormous quantity of bean and barley soup and portioned it out for us. Then he made cucumber, tomato, dill salad AND EVEN kept the vinegar on the side so it didn't get all slimey. And on top of all that he agreed with me when I bitched about something that happened in rehearsal, making me feel less crazy and dumb. Love, I tell you. I think one of our landlady's cats got out last night. The reason I think the cat got out is because she came thundering outside and started yelling, "BUDDY! BUDDY!? BUDDY!" This was at, oh, 12:15. Did I mention that she is the goddamn loudest woman on the face of the planet? And that our bedroom window is right next to her front door? Sheesh, lady. |

2009.02.23 11.53 Oscar fashion 2009: The Good, The Bad, and The Meh Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! The Oscars were last night and many of my favorites won. Sadly, Mickey Rourke's comeback role in Mickey Rourke's Life Story Except With Wrestling Instead of Boxing was bested by Sean Penn in OMG Sean Penn Smiles, but I'm still happy for all of the winners. I felt the fashion was a bit lackluster this year, though. We have a lot of Good, a handful of Meh, and man were there some Bad ones this year. I didn't try to shrink any of the photos and I think the quality is much better than the last fashion post I did. All behind the cut - enjoy! ( Poofy, Shiny, and White: Oscar Fashion 2009 ) And thus we end another Hollywood awards show season. Thanks for playing along, celebrities! |

2008.10.17 14.01 Project Rundown: "I want to encourage you to have a pant." Phew! We did it! We made it through the worst fucking season of Project Runway ever! I'm so proud of us. Like most of the rest of the season, the finale was boring and unsurprising. There were a couple of stellar moments, but all in all, the clothes were nice and the outcome not terribly surprising. This is going to be a pretty large post, with pictures and everything (!) so, let's venture behind the cut, shall we? ( Oh yes, there will be Morganza ) |

2008.10.16 14.14 Project Rundown: CRAP You guys. There was a lot happening last night so I didn't get to see PR until the THIRD RUN at midnight. And then I left my notes at home. I will do my best to get a post up tonight, but it might have to be tomorrow morning. But there will be pictures of the best and worst looks (my opinion, as always) of each collection. Oh yes, there will be pictures. |

2008.10.15 13.27 I'm Concerned. Let's talk about television tonight: 8:22 PM - Phillies OMG Possibly Make The World Series Philadelphia Freaks Out 9 PM - Final Presidental Debate 9 PM- Project Runway Season 5 Finale Me? I volunteered to usher for This is the Week That Is, so I'll be...at the theatre. Sometimes I amaze even myself with how well I can screw up my own schedule. Don't get me wrong: I am psyched to usher for the show (especially since it is opening night!), but maaaaan. One easy elimination is the Presidential Debate because, seriously, what are they going to tell me that I don't already know. Sure, I may miss some stunning remarks a la "That One," but I will read all about it tomorrow. So now the issue is this: PR reruns at 11. Fine. But by that time, it will be the end of the Phillies game and I am FIRMLY on their bandwagon. I want them to win and I want them to win tonight. Just like I want Leanne to win tonight. It's all very exciting! Runway fans... tonight is the night! Who will win??? Kenley!?  Korto!?  Leanne!?  Shane!?  Watch what happens INDEED! |

2008.10.09 15.11 Project Rundown: Tim doesn't want a "snatch shot"! Well, friends, I think Bravo has finally killed Project Runway. First, the theme of this season was "Remember this challenge from another year? Let's do it again!" Then they cancelled the reunion show. Now they've changed the rules to get to Bryant Park. And I am none too pleased about it! We'll start with Heidi in a see-through dress. What? The shiny, tiny, and short was out at the dry cleaners? Each of the remaining four designers will have 2 months and $8000 to create a collection to possibly show at Fashion Week. Oh, but there's one more challenge to decide which 3 will compete: create a wedding gown that a) shows who you are as a designer and b) fits cohesively in your collection. I really dislike it when the designers are given this vague "show who you are as a designer" crap because that is really a hard thing to nail down, I think. The Silver Fox Tim Gunn is on the runway with Heidi and as they dismiss the designers, she proclaims, "Come on, Tim. Let's walk into the sunset!" And then they air kiss behind the white screen. Everybody packs up, talks about how awesome they are going to do and then Kenley leaves without saying goodbye to anyone. Jerell, Korto, and Leanne make fun of her once more before hopping in cabs and flying home. Then we finally get to the good part of the episode - Tim's at home visits! I truly love this portion of Project Runway because it gives us an insight to the designers as people, we see where they live, and we get any back story we've been missing. First up: Korto in Little Rock, Arkansas. She has this great, spacious studio and I have to say that her collection is looking good! She's looking to culture to the space immediately around her to inspire her. She wants it ethnic, but not too ethnic. She has beautiful bead work she did herself - that's a big plus. You'll notice that ever since Kara Saun Shoegate and Jeffrey Sebelia Pleatgate everyone is like NO REALLY I DID THAT WITH MY HANDS! THESE HANDS RIGHT HERE! Korto has this green dress with what could be described as a gold vagina in the middle of it. I love this dress, but Tim thinks it looks a bit toooo "sexual" and warns, "I don't want a snatch shot." Oh, Tim! You are hilarious. Tim eventually goes on to call her collection sensational. Then we meet Korto's family - her cutie husband and her absolutely adorable daughter. And Korto performs with her drumming partner for Tim! Talking about her family, she gives probably the best and most useful quote of this season: "Just because you fall doesn't mean you have to stay on the ground." Hear hear! Listen, producers: the combination of the strength of her collection, the gorgeousness of her family, her amazing story, and her highly quotable insights really should have made this the last designer profile. It was so much fun and nothing after it really lived up. Case in point: Tim's next visit is to Portland to see Leanne. Her place is cute and so is her boyfriend. I get the feeling they hold hands a lot while softly talking about their dreams and cooking spaghetti. Bottom line: this visit is boring as shit! Yes, Tim and Leanne ride a tandem bike (Leanne without a helmet - FOR SHAME) and Tim looks like he's going to shit himself the entire time and that's fun, but not much else. Oh, but her collection? To die for. I love it I love it I love it. The white-white doesn't "trouble" me as it does TSFTim Gunn. True Confession: For as long as I've been doing Project Runway write-ups, every single time I go to write Tim Gunn, I spell it Time Funn. And then I have to fix it, but really Tim Gunn is Funn Time, don't you think? Back to the show. Next up we get to see Jerell in Los Angeles! We look at his collection first and that is bad for morale. It looks like ... not good. I don't like any single piece I see. Which is really a shame because I love Jerell. Tim wants him to give the bust of the wedding dress he's made more stability. Oh my god, and there is an outfit that has an overlay of fishing net. You know the kind - like what they put on the wall of seafood restaurants in the suburbs? And they'll throw like a plastic flounder or something in there so you know it's a net with which one would catch fish? It's the kind of thing that catches your eye when you're out to dinner with your parents and you're 16 and bored because they are just talking about where you should go to college or whatever and you're looking around for something, ANYTHING to hold your attention and it occurs to you that this place is pretty tacky. But you really like that they have the large oyster crackers on the table to snack on while you wait for your dinner. Jerell's outfit is like that, except that instead of a plastic fish in the middle of the netting, it's a bustier. Then we go to meet Jerell's family and oh my god, everyone is gorgeous! He introduces Tim to his "love interest, Dan." Annie sent me a text about his last night and I stand in solidarity with her - all significant others from now on will be introduced as my "love interest." That means you, Aaron! We get a picture of baby Jerell in a baby bouncer on top of a car, which is really dangerous and hilarious. He tells his story about his father working so hard to provide for the family and how supportive his family is of him. Tim is moved and so am I. Lastly, we go to see Kenley in - where else? - Brooklyn! She swears, "I do value Tim's opinion, even though it seems like I don't." We see a picture of her grandmother, who recently passed away. It's clear they were very close and that she was Kenley's style icon. Her collection looks pretty cool - it's mostly hand-painted and inspired in some way by Alice in Wonderland. And then she mentions the tugboat! She brings out the wedding dress and, okay. I don't like feathers. HOWEVER, this is seriously stunning. The Silver Fox Tim Gunn agrees. It's show-stopping and totally gorgeous and huge. We meet no family or friends of Kenley, which helps continue the "Everyone IN THE WORLD hates Kenley" motif. When everyone arrives back to New York, they get to stay at the Westin! How nice! Korto and Leanne play Mean Girls and claim a bedroom together before anyone else can arrive. Everyone is already there by the time Kenley arrives and they are being bitchy and clique-y. Kenley half-heartedly apologizes for being a bitch and the tension eases slightly. Then Tim sends them approximately a case of champagne and urges them to relax! Nice! The next day, champagne hangovers intact, they are welcomed to the Bluefly.com studio! And after they unpack all their garments, Tim asks them to gather round and they are given- dun dun DUN- yet another challenge! They have 1 day and $150 to design a bridesmaid dress to accompany their wedding gown. I thought at least one person would burst into Chloe Dao-sized tears over the added challenge, but instead they chose to glare at Tim and wish death upon the producers. Jerell is putting together an assy looking bridesmaid dress and I begin to fear the worst. Tim comes in and is trying to help. He says, "Whatever you do, don't fight nature!" and Jerell replies, "Or Nina Garcia." Too true, my friend. The quotable Korto: "There's nothing wrong with your bridesmaids being cute, ladies!" Hear hear! After telling them how to fix their garments, Tim tells them he loves them and truly cares for them. He's totally verklempt and I think it might have something to do with the show moving to LA, but he seems genuinely sad that this is his last chance to give them guidance. I love him. Aaron decided that Tim is like the fairy godmother of Project Runway – and everyone loves their fairy godmother! I guess that means that Heidi is the evil stepmother and Nina and Michael are the wicked stepsisters? Who gets to be Cinderella? Oh and then Old Kenley rears her bitchy little head and decides that Korto and Leanne copied off her because they made their bridesmaid dresses short when she was the only one with a short bridesmaid dress before Tim came around. I can't imagine what an insufferable pain in the ass this woman would be on her wedding day. Look, I really detest the C-U-Next-Tuesday word, but if ever there was a shining example of that kind of a woman, it is indeed Kenley getting pissed about other people making short dresses. The models come in, Jerell has some orchid headpiece he's waving around, and then it's time to get on the Runway. So let's hit Rate the Runway for the last time this season. Ugh, these pictures are horrible. First up, Jerell's wedding dress. That is a LOT of look. Nina thinks the grey tulle makes it look dirty. The headpiece is distracting. BUT I like the shape of it. Overall? It’s a mess. Next is Jerell's bridesmaid dress. I like the color but it's that wrinkly silk again. I don't care how many times you tell me it's supposed to look that way; I will forever be convinced it needs pressing. You can't see in this picture, but there is an orchid branch stuck to the front of it. I kind of like that. Next is Kenley's wedding gown and this picture is terrible. She looks like a chicken in this picture, whereas the gown was really great. Here's a better picture: Kenley Wedding:  Oh! And the judges called her out for making a dress that is almost exact replica of the dresses Alexander McQueen was sending down the runway not days before filming! AHAHAAHA! Thanks to the Project Rungay boys, I have photographic proof. Alexander McQueen:  The bridesmaid dress was WAY TOO SHORT for my tastes, but Michael Kors fell all over himself about it, proclaims it the cutest dress he has ever seen. Really? Ever? Next! Wow, these pictures are terrible. Korto's dress was over-worked and not cute. I liked the color, but that was about it. I can’t find a better picture, sadly. And her bridesmaid dress was adorable, I thought. Sure, it didn't seem like a bridesmaid dress at all, but it's really super cute. Next is Leanne's but you cannot see the dress at all in this picture! How annoying! It was cute and looked perfect for her collection. Here's a better picture, but no close up detail, sadly:  And Leanne's bridesmaid dress was simply adorable. I didn't love the bust, but it worked. A fantastic color, to be sure! In the end, Jerell was Auf'd. While his entries were the worst of the week, I still feel that it's a little bit bullshit to change the rules at the last minute like that. If you win the last challenge before going home to work on your Fashion Week collection, you should go straight to Bryant Park. But not this year. This year, it comes down to one OTHER last challenge and they send Jerell packing. That smacks of producer meddling. While I agree with the ultimate judgment because his dresses were the worst of the lot, he shouldn't have had to compete in the first place. Jerell, being amazing until the end, has the most graceful exit from Project Runway I have ever seen. And babies, I have been watching since day 1. So it's an all-female finale. And thus Chloe Dao shall relinquish her crown as the only woman to ever win PR. Who will it be? After peeking at the collections, my money is on Leanne. OH AND - Jamie saw Jay McCarroll outside of Essene health food market today! Ooh lala! |

2008.10.02 14.22 Project Rundown: The Return of Collier Strong Where do I even start!? I guess we'll start at Atlas, where Kenley is not talking to Leanne because she thinks Leanne sabotaged her design last week by "clowning." Oh please. You didn't hear Korto complaining that Suede clowned, and he TOTALLY did. Now, Suede did a better job of acting the genre than Leanne...plus the fact that Korto won and Kenley was in the bottom two.. Oh who cares. I hate Kenley. Then it's over to the boys' apartment where Jerell is all alone. To keep him company, he's decorated a grapefruit to be Suede and an apple to be Joe. I couldn't tell if Jerell himself was being portrayed by Mrs. Butterworth or Aunt Jemima, but nonetheless, he made himself be the syrup. There was a Tim Gunn bobblehead in on the conversation, too. This is the best and funniest moment of the episode. Too bad it happens 10 minutes in! Then Jerell starts crying about how he wants to win and basically doesn't stop for the rest of the episode. Another yawntastic model aufing, with Heidi in shiny tiny and short leopard print. Yikes. Heidi stresses heavily that there will only be 3 who compete for the big prize. Then she sends the designers off to meet Tim for a field trip. We get casual Tim for this field trip - no tie, bright pink shirt. Love it! They head off in the van to...the New York Botanical Gardens! Fabulous! They have a special guest there and it's... COLLIER STRONG! He's not dead! Though he has been replaced in the L'Oreal Paris Makeup Room, he's back on the show for a guest consultation. It's the L'Oreal Paris Challenge! Drawing inspiration from the gardens, the designers are to make an evening gown and then they are going to do some crazy makeup on the models or something. So the designers each pick a camera and then start taking a million photos. Korto is reminded of Africa so she says, "I think I'm gonna win this one for my mama." I am all for this idea - go Korto! Then there's the part where Leanne can't take any pictures because she is too busy running away from bees. Did anyone else get nervous that drawing inspiration from flowers would be playing straight into Kenley's floral print bag of tricks? As for Jerell, he's still crying. For some reason on this last episode of the "regular season," he has decided to all of a sudden be The Ricky. Tim takes them back, they pick a photo, they sketch and then it's off to Mood! As they are checking out and The Silver Fox Tim Gunn calls time, Korto half-heartedly asks if that is anyone's fabric just sitting around on the counter? No one hears her, of course, and they leave. Back at Parson's Kenley asks if anyone has seen her other Mood bag. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN. Guess what?! That was her stuff on the counter! She left it at Mood! The other designers can barely contain their glee at her misfortune. Then Kenley says, "Okay. I wanna kill myself," and I'm like WELCOME TO THE CLUB OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KILL YOU! She tells us it would really be a shame if she wasn't able to make the dress as poofy as she wants to because she lost her tulle and the other designers won't share. I think she means it would be a shame for her because it would give her a disadvantage, but the way she said it, it sounded like she meant it would be a shame for the world. The other designers are being bitchy about her behind her back and in front of her face and Kenley finally decides that she is not in the mood to talk to the other designers. She tells us that she grew up "tuff" on a tug boat or something and that she hasn't really had friends for her entire life. She's not really sure why, but it's probably because she hides her cripplingly low self-esteem by posturing and being a loudmouth and then the moment you criticize her in the slightest she bites your head off. That's just my opinion, of course. I'm no expert! She lets Tim know that she's missing merchandise and he tells her that if it's on her receipt, she can go back to Mood and get it. No problem! Hooray! Tulle! The world will see the dress she intended to make! Moving on, everyone is crying on this episode. They are tired and stressed out and they just *sniff* wanna go *sniff* to Fashion Week *sniff*! They keep designing. They design makeup with Collier Strong. Tim is concerned about Leanne's ruffles, Korto's lace, Kenley's scales, and Jerell's ability to finish a garment. But then Tim gives the final four pep talk and it's just lovely - "I'm proud of you all," he says, though you know he actually means, "I'm proud of you all, Jerell, Korto, and Leanne!" We get out to the runway and Heidi is wearing what -at first- seems to be a suit with some bling around the lapels. Upon further investigation, we see that it is indeed a bling-embellished suit, but what's under it? A sparkly bra. Oh Heidi. Georgina Chapman, co-founder of Marchesa and all around gorgeous gal, is the guest judge. Conveniently they neglect to mention that she's also Mrs. Harvey Weinstein. Ol' Harv is one of the producers of the show. Do you think he may've whispered in her ear, "I don't care what you have to do, Kenley stays." ???? Anyway, Georgina's lovely. Let's follow along with Rate the Runway, shall we? First up, Jerell. He is inspired by some flowers. This dress is okay, but it's a big maternity, no? More than anything, it would benefit from some s! s! steam heat because it is the most wrinkled dress in the history of wrinkled dresses. The green part underneath is too long and a disaster. The back looks unfinished and it's fairly unflattering. But what do I know? Jerell wins! Next is Kenley's gown inspired by some leaves. The scaly print and the tight fit makes it fairly serpentine for me. I think the belt was a great idea, because otherwise she would just have one long column of pink stuff. The "leaves" or whatever it is on the bottom are interesting, but I think I would have liked them better if they weren't trimmed in purple and pink - maybe not trimmed, or maybe just trimmed in a different color. I am glad she got the tulle because I don't think the skirt would have worked otherwise. Next is Korto, inspired by a flower. Maybe the iron just wasn't working this week? Why are all the dresses such messes? The top fit well and I thought she edited the lace well. Personally, I loved the lace she chose and I would have used it more in the piece. Tim and the judges did not agree with me, though. I think she chose nice fabric, but in the end, it just wasn't what the judges wanted to see. I liked it fine. Lastly, we have Leanne's dress, inspired by some flowers. I thought this was a rough look - not a very elegant choice of color, and the ruffles looked perhaps like a vine draped around her hips, growing higher and higher up her bodice to eventually strangle her. The bottom of it is reminiscent of a curtain and not in a good way. And then that shock of deep blue in the back...oh honey no. BUT Georgina loved it, so again, what do I know. Then again, I did not like this look, and which was made by guess who? Yes, it's Marchesa. Going through the judging was pretty rough this week. The judges said "pageant" and Korto burst into tears, which was kind of funny actually. Then there was this exchange about Kenley's look... Nina: It looks like a reptile- Kenley: excited and pleased intake of breath Nina: stern BUT NOT in a cool way. And then Heidi re-boards the I Hate Kenley train but announcing, "It is a little bit annoying, the attitude. I have to agree." DUH, LADY. WE ALL AGREE. The judges then ask them why they should go to fashion week and which 2 they want to go with them. You can guess who Jerell, Korto, and Leanne want to go with them. Kenley wants Jerell and Leanne with her because she thinks that classic has no place in Fashion Week and that Korto is classic style. Um, okay. They get into the waiting room and Kenley starts crying because nobody likes her and then Korto is like "Bitch!" and Kenley tries to one-up her by saying that she experienced the hurt that Korto feels ten times over because everyone else dissed her. And Korto is like, "I said nothing negative about you." And Kenley is like, "Well... I grew up on a tug boat!" And Korto is like, "I grew up in LIBERIA. You will never win this game." Anyway, Jerell wins. His prize? He might not get to Fashion Week! WHAT!? They "can't decide on a winner." (code: the producers wanted to get rid of Leanne or Jerell but Georgina did a shitty job of getting them into the bottom 2) And so, all 4 will make collections but one of them will not compete at Fashion Week. As we know, they all show because there were 3 real and 3 decoy collections. I smell a last minute challenge when they get back to New York to decide who will show for real. Maybe a bathing suit or something whack like that. Let me just say, this is some BULLSHIT. Jerell, by way of week 12 win, should automatically show at Fashion Week. He took the news like a champ, but I would love to see what he says to his friends back home about it. Backstage, Tim calls for a group hug and Kenley opts out. She doesn't need them! She grew up on a tug boat! Oh, and the preview for the Tim visits the designers at home episode shows The Silver Fox Tim Gunn on a tandem bicycle with Leanne. Amazing. |

2008.10.01 13.54 Well, Runway fans...what's it going to be? Tonight's the night for FASHION, my friends. Tonight we find out who is going to Fashion Week! And so, I ask you: who will it be? Still in the running: Jerell, Korto, Kenley, Leanne. My prediction: I want it to be Jerell, Korto, and Leanne. I think it will be a season 3 throwback and all four will show. |

2008.09.30 13.26 Project Rundown: The Silver Fox Tim Gunn Smackdown Edition! Sorry this is so late. I was busy backhanding Kenley. We begin with a model shake-up! FINALLY, something interesting happens with the models. Everybody is taking everybody else's model, the models are leaving the runway in tears, and Heidi looks happy to see the lesser models cry. This week's challenge is a throwback to Season 2 - the designers will design for each other! Last time this happened poor Kara Janx ended up in a hideous jumpsuit. I don't have a lot of hope for the designers...ESPECIALLY when we find out that they must design for each person in a specific musical genre! Suede will design for ROCK Jerell. Kenley will design for HIP HOP Leanne. Korto will design for PUNK Suede. Jerell will design for POP Kenley. Leanne will design for COUNTRY Korto. And then the bitchery starts. Korto is clearly over Project Runway. She's tired of these assholes who can't sew and she is not very excited about having to wear a country outfit. Everyone is fed up with Kenley at this point and the schadenfreude over the idea of her being forced to design a hip hop look is off the charts. I heard a story one time about a guy who had interacted with Marisa Tomei. This guy had a thick Italian-from-Italy accent and his entire review of Ms. Tomei was, "Mareesa Tomei: Whadda beech!" I think of this often when observing the behavior of our Kenley. When I heard that Suede has been auf'd, my heart jumped with delight. But that was before I watched the episode. After watching the episode I am still glad to see Himself gone, but Jesus Christ. It should have been Kenley. Jerell is delighted that he can force Kenley to ditch the "1959" look. He dubs her Kenley Spears and proclaims, "Everything is going to be stretchy and naked and sparkley!" HEAR HEAR! Am I alone in my love for Jerell? I have been growing steadily fonder of our boy wonder, and I hope he makes it through to fashion week. Leanne is a disaster this week with that trainwreck country outfit she's designing for Korto. Korto knows it, but she's busy knocking everyone out with the fumes from her bleach treatment of the pants and shoes for Suede. Korto did a pretty good job with Suede's outfit - it was perhaps more of a "whole" look than I would have designed for punk, but the basic idea was a good one. Meanwhile, Suede is ignoring Jerell's request for a rock and roll cape. I don't blame him! Stella Steve Perry got auf'd for a cape! Jerell wants Freddie Mercury, but Suede designs Lenny Kravitz. What would he have done with a glam rock approach? Alas, the world shall never know. Meanwhile, Kenley is insisting that high-waisted jeans and floral patterned shirts with shrunken jackets are very much in for hip hop. Everyone is sort of like "you are delusional but we're not going to correct you," but then The Silver Fox Tim Gunn comes in and this becomes a PR episode for the ages. He makes his rounds, expresses concern, and does the mentor thing. Then he gets to Kenley. He expresses his concern. He opines that high-waisted jeans are perhaps not the correct way to approach hip hop. And then, much to the horror of television audiences across the country, Kenley snaps back at Tim and frankly, disrespects him. TSFTG says, "It would help if you remove the sarcasm and facetiousness." She continues to bitch at him. He says, "You just think I'm being snarky." Then basically, Kenley tells Tim she thinks his opinion is bullshit and then Tim tells Kenley he thinks Kenley is bullshit. TSF Tim Gunn finally does what any normal person would have done about 3 episodes ago and throws his hands up and tells her, "Fine! Don't listen to me!" And, obviously, she won't. I, for one, am proud of The Silver Fox Tim Gunn for not slapping her across the face and calling it a day. If I was him, I would have had Nina Garcia on speed dial within 3 seconds of leaving the workroom, arranging for an emergency cocktail tout suite. The actual construction scenes are boring and rough, with Kenley telling Leanne she has a weird body and everyone just being bitchy to each other. PS, I wish my body was as "weird" as Leanne's - she's adorable. They all go to hair and makeup - EXCUSE ME, the L'Oreal Paris make up room and the Tresemme hair studio or whatever it is. And they look AWESOME. Korto gets some sparkly lipstick and a perky country ‘do. Kenley gets a blowout and some pastels. Suede - oh Suede! -gets the most ridiculous "I'm being PUNK for Halloween" makeup treatment - different color eye shadow per eye, strange purple lipstick. I mean, goth maybe, but punk? They do, on the plus side, give him multicolored extensions for his little Suedehawk, which look fantastic. Jerell gets made up to look like...Jerell wearing foundation. But Leanne? Jeez, she looks great! Big swooping Mary J. Blige bangs and a big ole side bun. Without hair and makeup, no way would any of these designs looked remotely like the genre they were trying for - okay, maybe one or two. Leanne in those pants and that jacket without makeup and with her hair down? Trend whore in a mall. Leanne in those pants and that jacket with the makeup and the hair? Bad Mary J. Blige costume. Best part of the episode? "Musical innovator and style icon" LL Cool J is the guest judge. But wait. Is someone a style icon if they just wear the same kind of hat all the time? I don't really care one way or the other because, as we know, Ladies Love Cool James. And I am a lady. Let's head over to Rate the Runway, shall we? All the tags are F'd up on RtR, so it looks like they designed their own looks, but we'll survive. First up: Suede for ROCK Jerell. The pants are hot and the vest is definitely not bad. Too bad the shirt looks like something Jerell would wear on a Tuesday afternoon to the grocery store. Nina came just short of dropping the B word (boring), and the judges said they wanted something more... something like...a... a...cape. Or something. Truthfully, my favorite part of the look was the boot choice. Hott. However, this got the AUF. Next: Jerell for POP Kenley. On top of every other reason to hate Kenley in this episode, she was like the worst model ever. She can't walk for shit. But she looks totally hot in this getup. If we're to keep up the Christopher Guest thing with Kenley, I envision this as Libby Mae Brown doing "Turn Back O Man" in Godspell. I am not totally into the choker, but the rest of it was fantastic. The sparkly cup boobs, the little jacket for a pop of color, the sheer back - I mean she's dressed a tad conservatively to be a Pussycat Doll, but it's really along the right lines. I thought this should have won. And then there's Leanne's design for COUNTRY Korto. I fucking hate this. You know Leanne's my girl, but I totally thought this should have been the one to get the axe. It was SO BAD. The fit of the skirt was fine, but it would have made more sense for country in denim. The belt was a MAJOR misstep. The purple looked good but I hated the gold accents in the shirt. And honestly: how cliché is that checkered neckerchief!? Ew! Leanne. Step it up, girl. You got lucky. Oh wait, and then there's Kenley's design for HIP HOP Leanne. I think we've discussed this enough. On top of everything else, the pants were poorly made. Sadly, Leanne, looks like you get to be the Kara Janx this time around. Also, TERRIBLE choice of shoes. The only thing worse would be those hideous orthopedic sandals Rami kept making his model wear last season. Finally, we have Korto for PUNK Suede. Listen, I am here to tell you that Suede SOLD IT on the runway. He was fabulous! I really think his walk gave the look the edge it needed to win the challenge. I love the chain detail on the shirt, but we all know she won because those pants are totally fantastic - they look great with the bleaching, but more than that: they fit him perfectly. Korto for the win. Oh but then we're on the runway and Kenley mouths off not just at Michael and Nina, but at LL Cool J. I can’t believe she didn’t get auf’d for her attitude alone. Kenley Collins: Whadda beech! Ultimately Suede goes home wearing the winning design just like Nick Verreos did when Chloe designed his adorable little shirt and vest look. I felt really bad for Suede until he started speaking again and said "Suede's gonna rock it!" Then I wanted him out of my living room and out of my life forever. The preview for tomorrow's episode looks like EVERYONE is going to cry. I hope they have a moment where they're all crying and Nina and Heidi and my little orange angel just start laughing at them. Now THAT would be a way to christen the final three. |
