Things were fierce when the fabulous Tim Gunn and PROJECT RUNWAY finalist (and come on, probably winner) Christian Soriano faced each other in a walk off high above New York City. Christian was the clear winner, but Heidi thinks it’s just because Tim was loose. And she knows just how to loosen him […]

Tonight, we had the annual "Project Runway" penultimate episode, the one where Tim visits all the designers at home. It was also the one where Rami had to face off against Chris for the chance to be the third designer in the Fashion Week show. What struck me about this episode, though was just how friendly everyone was. I have to admit that while I never really liked Christian Siriano, he’s a lot nicer than any of the "bad guys" on the previous seasons. It’s remarkable just how much the other designers like and respect him.
Spoilers after the jump…
Awww, Chris went home.
Rami did a good job of course, but I loved the use of safety pins and human hair in Chris’ fantasy dress.
Even a 4th place finish, though, is pretty damn impressive, especially given that the final three are Christian, Jillian, and Rami.
Tune in next week for […]

PROJECT RUNWAY is nearing the end of its fierce run, so there’s no better time to bring back all the auf’d designers and their ‘tudes and look back at the season that was.
I don’t think there is anyone better out there giving us the play-by-play of what went down than the very funny Jennifer Eolin […]

Conan O’Brien had both Larry The Cable Guy and "Project Runway" host Tim Gunn on set at the same time last night, and Tim was absolutely charming. First he complimented Larry on "owning his look" and then talked to Conan about fashion and how to dress, praising age-appropriate clothing and dissing the "grandma Jezebels" who dress like teens. Finally, Conan brought out a photo of George W. Bush wearing shorts, Crocs, and socks with the presidential seal on them. Gunn was struck almost speechless.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I just got so sick and tired of reality TV last night that I couldn’t even watch "Project Runway."
So I’m giving you the short short version, clipped from the  concise version over at Project Rungay:
The show has "once again [has] rewarded someone in part for being a self-aggrandizing shithead, but that’s reality TV and our Princess really does have the goods."
By "Princess" they mean Christian the emo-twink. By "goods" they mean sewing skills and vision. By "self-aggrandizing shithead," they mean acting like Christian the emo-twink. Or Santino Rice. Pick your poison, really.

Let’s not bury the lead here, Ricky is gone!!! Praise Jesus, Ricky is gone. It’s been a long time coming. Let’s be honest here, he probably shouldn’t have made it this far on the show. I’m starting to wonder if he was cast as this season’s Sanjaya. You know, the […]

Just so you know, I’ve been drinking since "American Idol," so don’t expect any kind of coherence in this liveblog.
This week opens with Christian bitching about how Ricky didn’t deserve to win. I’d put that up to Christian’s usual bitching, but Tim Gunn was also less than impressed with Ricky’s work. Whatevs. We’re on to the new challenge: The designers are all guessing, and they all have no freaking idea that they’re going to get WWE Divas as their clients. The commission is to make an outfit the Divas can wear in the ring.
That’s tricky for four reasons. First, the Divas are taller, chestier, and more muscular than the usual models. Second, these clients need to be more active than a model just walking down a runway. Third, stretch fabrics are harder to sew. Fourth, it’s hard because none of the designers are comfortable with the glitter and […]

(Begin pointless personal digression.) I have a soft spot for the semi-annual TV Week Critics Poll. (Read the story here and results here.) Back when the magazine was called Electronic Media, I used to be in the poll all the time, and I started talking to the people over there - we were all in Chicago at the time - and I ended up getting hired as assistant managing editor and getting a whole different look at the industry. While I worked there I ran the poll a couple of times, too, which gave me lots of time to talk to my critic friends who I only got to see on press tour otherwise. So this poll is like an old pal. (End pointless personal digression.)
But seriously, "Pushing Daisies" is better than "Mad Men"??? I don’t think so. Better than "House" or "The Office"?? Really? Uh, no.Ten Best Series1. Pushing […]
