Oh Em Gee, guys! It is the Project Runway we’ve always fantasized about–the season that includes the likes of Mondo, Miss Sugarbaker, Adonis Rami, Austin Scarlett, and Our Lady of Rosettes, Kara Janx. Talent and crazy bananas! What more could we ask for? (Aside from Tim Gunn and Andrae, obviously.)
Mix your cocktails, pop open that wine (or, if you’re like me, pop out the little cardboard square of your cheapy-cheap boxed wine), and join us for a bad attitude liveblog.
Before we go a moment further, I want everyone on the interwebs to know that this header image was The Worst to deal with. So there.
Now that we have that biz out of the way, here comes a cold reality. No Bitchy Orange. No Meana Garzilla. No Heidi. No Tim. But we do have Isaac Mizrahi, doyenne of value priced Target fashion lines, and we do have Joanna Coles, a lovely lady who works at Marie Claire and who was a judge on the last regular season of Project Runway.
We also have Georgina Chapman (who?), a former model, a designer, and oh here it is, wife to Harvey Weinstein. Ring a ding ding. Can’t imagine how she got the job. Continue reading
Kanye, who has never been known to be modest, or quiet, or controversy-free, would like you to continue experiencing the performance art he considers his fame, now with an extra dollop of erratic, strangely garbled self-promotion and a heaping spoonful of “Just What Is He Talking About?!” Continue reading
Making videos on YouTube and Skypeing with her boyfriend, that’s where. In this video uploaded to YouTube she talks about how she now has a cell phone and a computer and feels like she finally has ownership of something for the first time in ages.
As for her exact whereabouts, she is still in Florida hiding out somewhere until she has finished serving probation for check forging. After that there was previously talk about moving to Mexico with money provided by a sugar daddy.
Comrade Cletar’s fabulous haiku works around the subject of the Iowa caucus made me think we should harness more of that poetic creativity here at Crasstalk.
I propose the poetry type be a Shakespearian sonnet. (The link will refresh those who have forgotten the sonnet rules.) The subject Michelle Bachmann her manly husband Marcus, disappointment and unrequited love. Continue reading
Capital New York is reporting that film critic J. Hoberman was let go from The Village Voice, where he has been a staff writer for nearly three decades and senior film critic since 1988. The news isn’t terribly surprising–several longtime staffers have parted ways with the paper in recent years, but it’s certainly a blow to the Voice’s already deteriorated reputation and another example of the changing (crumbling?) nature of both journalism in general and specifically film criticism, which has had something of an identity crisis. Comment.
Rich people, with their fancy mustard and whatnot, are the ever-loving WARST, are they not? But do you know what’s EVEN WARSE? When rich people claim to “feel middle class” because of all that terrible private school tuition and week-long Aspen vacations they have to pay for.
Today’s Worst Assholes Ever of the Day are the mommy-commenters (mommenters?) of NYC parenting forum UrbanBaby.com. Yeah, I had no idea such a cunty site existed, either — but it does! (One of today’s hot topics: “Is nanny poaching a problem?”)
This week someone started a thread with a simple question:
What’s your hhi [household income] and do you FEEL poor, middle class, upper middle class or rich where you live. No judging.
So let’s read some responses, and do so without judgment or malice. Hahaha, no. I’m kidding. We shall verily judge these assholes! Continue reading
I often use the one-liner that “I was raised by a pack of rabid televisions.” It’s either not as funny as I think it is or most people just don’t get it. But in any event the truth is I was raised by the television and before the dawn of Glee. You know there didn’t use to be any role models for an impressionable gay youth, such as myself. I once thought I’d found one in Paul Lynde.
Ok, you guys are not a lot like Iowa. Here are the details of your responses. Continue reading
