Project Runway Live Blog – Season 9, Episode 3


Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends.  We’re so glad you can attend. Come inside! Come inside!

It’s Thursday, and you know what that means? It’s the fourth day of the week, per Wikipedia! Oh, right, and a little program called Project Runway is back with a Brand! New! Episode! Tonight! Yay!

In case you haven’t been watching – shame on you! However, if you’ve been under a rock or in a coma these past few weeks, I’ll take mercy and give you a quickie recap:

The alleged “designers” have been given two challenges – one to make a look out of the clothes they’ve been wearing to bed and a bedsheet, and one where they had to make a look made out of pet store supplies. Both have resulted in a few abominations, a couple of good looks, and a closeted [totally not gay] Mormon got sent packing.

Filmmaker Takedowns

“Tarantino named his production company after one of my films. He’d have done better to give me some money.” That is, of course, Jean-Luc Godard insulting QT. Flavorwire has collected what they consider the thirty harshest filmmaker-on-filmmaker insults, and there are some really delicious ones. The quotes from Vincent Gallo are particularly acidic (and eye-rolly, depending on how seriously you take him as a filmmaker).

Flavorwire previously posted a collection of harsh author-on-author insults, which is also worth a look if you missed it. Which are your favorites? Do you know some good ones that they missed? Artist-on-artist? Musician-on-musician? Director-on-actor? Some quick googling turned up this nasty little line from Otto Preminger about Marilyn Monroe: “She’s a vacuum with nipples.” Oh snap.

My Experience with “Reparative Therapy”

Caution: Contents May Irritate Skin

Michelle Bachmann decided she wants to be President of the United States of America. Supporting her in this run at the White House is her loving husband Marcus. Marcus, a PhD in clinical psychology, operates a clinic where allegedly homosexuals can become heterosexuals, a fact Marcus has denied. Some wonder what Marcus Bachmann’s investment in the myth that people can change their sexuality is. As for myself, I really tried to deny that I’m attracted to men. It didn’t work out for me. This is my story. Continue reading

QOTD: With Whom Would You Engage?

I have become increasingly obsessed with Star Trek: The Next Generation lately. It’s because I married a Dork-American. My husband adores all things Star Trek (and Star Wars, and Battledork Gallectica, and Game of Dorks, but that’s not what we’re talking about here). Thus began my exposure. And my attraction to certain characters, which only intensified when I had the pleasure of seeing Patrick Stewart on Broadway in MacBeth a few years ago.   Continue reading
