Project Runway: Postponed!

 

It’s no secret that we love us some Project Runway ’round these parts, so imagine the horror when we learned that the show’s next season has been postponed indefinitely. The New York Times has this story, which details all the crazy legal drama between Harvey Weinstein and NBC Universal, including the switch from Bravo to [...]

Project Runway Episode 13: The Last One

 

LeAnne wins!

And thank goodness! Although Korto’s collection was gorgeous and I wouldn’t have felt the least bit sorry to see her take top prize, LeAnne has consistently been the strongest designer. And she’s a Portland girl and I like that.
For the sake of space, I’m just going to post my favorite piece from each collection [...]

Project Runway Episode 13: One Down

 

One to go. Today was the first half of the Project Runway season finale—series finale if you, like me, are planning to protest the station switch—and you know what that means. Tim Gunn home visits!

First, let me preface this by saying that if Tim Gunn ever came to my home, invited or otherwise, I would [...]

Project Runway Episodes 11 and 12: And So It Goes…

 

A thousand apologies for the lack of Runway recaps last week. I was on holiday in Portland and was too busy throwing back microbrews to remember the time difference. Whoopsie. Thank god for reruns and fellow Runway fans.

Project Runway Episode 10: Workin’ That 9 to 5

 

True story: When I started interviewing for internships, my mom made me buy an uptight Banana Republic suit, because she thought that was the only way to appear professionally dressed. I wore it to my interview at PW. Now, two years later, I can see how silly it was to dress that way for a [...]

Project Runway Episode Nine: Blayne is Offlicious

 

This season’s previously eliminated designers were paired with current contestants to create avant garde garments inspired by one team member’s zodiac sign. The designers, however, interpreted “avant garde” to mean “fucking hideous.”

The slow and steady decline of Project Runway can be summed up by peeping Kenley’s garment, which certainly didn’t win, but also didn’t send [...]

Project Runway Episode Eight: Back to Ratbones

 

True story: The gal pals were over for beer (or cherry coke) and pizza tonight, so attention to Project Runway was at an all time low. But, who really cares about the details? If you’re that into it, you’d probably be obsessively checking Tim Gunn’s blog and not ours. The important thing to know is [...]

Project Runway Episode Seven: Sponsored by Saturn

 

The product placement in Project Runway has always been a little … heavy-handed. Constant references to the Bluefly accessories wall and Loreal cosmetics are one thing. Even the weekly snippets of Saturn-inspired designs during the commercial breaks are acceptable. But having an entire challenge clearly sponsored by one of the show’s key monetary supporters? We [...]

Project Runway Episode Six: Bullshit!

 

Finally! An interesting episode! Who knew all we needed were a few drag queens and a little neon to spice this season up?

This week’s (totally amazing, super exciting, awesomely fabulous, downright fan-friggin-tastic) challenge involved each designer creating an over the top garment for an over the top client: NYC drag queens. Originally, we thought that [...]

Project Runway Episode Five: WTF Bravo?

 

While we’d planned another rant about Stella’s unneccesary and inappropriate presence on the Runway, we can’t bring ourselves to really even do a legit recap this week. This week, they sent home Kelli. And we are freakin’ devastated.

Long story short: The designers paired up to design a day-to-night outfit for the lovely and gorgeous Brooke [...]
