Project Runway Season 11 Episode 1

project-runway-26 Hey, everybody! So, we’re back with original recipe Project Runway, but with some changes! First, no Michael Kors. NO MICHAEL KORS. I don’t know what to do with this. No. Michael. Kors. No Queen Tangerine spouting things like, “Slutty, slutty, slutty!” Oh, well. We’ll move on. But this version is also an all-teams version, designed to extract MAXIMUM DRAMA. Lovely. Well, I’d say more, but I’m in a rush, darlings. At 8pm Eastern is the Road to the Runway introduction to all the designers and at 9 EST, the season begins. So join us in the comments as we drink and snarky our way through season 11! Continue reading

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Finale Liveblog

project-runway-all-stars-1 Oh, thank the baby Jesus, this is almost over!

Last week, the Final Four took a thirty minute trip to France, had to sit on the back row at some dull couture event, buy a lot of fabric and make sure they didn’t miss the red eye back to NYC in order to design a couture outfit. The results were…less than inspiring. The judges wisely decided that Joshua needed to be sent packing, leaving Emilio, Anthony Ryan, and Uli as the final three. Tonight, it all ends before Project Runway: Teams debuts. Continue reading

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 11 Liveblog

project-runway-all-stars-1 Oh, hai there! Is this season almost over with? Because, really, I am missing Tim and Heidi. I’m also tired of watching Emilio’s long, slow slide into losing and Anthony Ryan’s inexplicable wins.

Ok, so last week, Ivy was sent packing, and in a move that surprised absolutely no one, the final four remained the final four, with no one being sent home. Joshua’s eyebrows continue to frighten small children. And adults. Nevertheless, this version of the Real Woman challenge once again showed that Joshua can be kind of sweet when he’s not running around as a walking caricature. Continue reading

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 10 Liveblog

project-runway-all-stars-1 This season just chugs along, doesn’t it? Oh, well. Last week saw the exit of Ivy Higa… and yet another win for Anthony Ryan Auld. Another. Win. For a fairly pedestrian look! I don’t know what’s going on with this season, but it needs to stop. And what was with that weird Marchesa infomercial two weeks ago? Oy.

Anyway, tonight’s festivities involve the designers designing for Real Women–in this case, women of the Armed Forces. Ven Budhu would shit his pants, but something tells me that these “All-Stars” won’t complain about designing for Real Women. But you can complain about the awful designs and heinous judging in the comments! Join us, and let us snark on the first Project Runway of the New Year! Continue reading

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 9 Liveblog

project-runway-all-stars-1 Well, darlings, I hope you had a lovely Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice and got all the presents your hearts desired. We’re back at it, with another installment of Also-Rans. Last week, Anthony netted a wholly-undeserved win with a weird lampshade of a dress that was supposed to evoke the 1920s. It was an awful design that the judges fairly splooged over. On the upside, Laura Kathleen was sent home. Tonight, the designers are supposed to tackle “ready to wear,” which means that the designs will likely be even more boring than what we’ve seen lately. Continue reading

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 8 Liveblog

project-runway-all-stars-1 Greetings, fellow Project Runway fans! Well, this season’s been a bit of a letdown, hasn’t it? I mean, the fashions have hardly been awe-inspiring, the judges have been lackluster, and there’s hardly been any drama between the designers! Last week, we bid adieu to Casanova, whose design was a loser amongst a sea of horrid designs in a horrid Unconventional Materials challenge involving the (mis)use of Christmas decorations. Uli deservedly won, as her design was the least offensive to the eyes. Continue reading

Project Runway All Stars Season 2 Episode 7 Liveblog

Greetings, slaves to fashion reality TV! Last week, we bid adieu to Althea at the end of an allegedly “green” challenge. It was a fairly snoozetastic episode. At any rate, we’re here for yet another installment of All-Stars…which, this season has pretty much been anything but. Tonight’s episode appears to involve using items found at a Christmas store. I expect a metric ton of tackiness to sashay down the runway. Join us in the comments below and let’s comment on the craptacular attempts at fashion that will be foisted upon an innocent world tonight! Continue reading

The “Man of Steel” Trailer is Here!


And it. is. AWESOME. Forgive me, but I have just had a nerdgasm. Many Superman fans were worried that Zack Snyder was going to deliver a “Superman” movie that was all flash, no substance, and would tarnish the memory of the beloved Christopher Reeve Superman movies (well, excluding III and IV). Some were a little worried about the inclusion of Zod and the changes to Superman’s iconic uniform. Continue reading

Saturday Night Live Liveblog

Tonight’s installment of the least-funny show on television (next to “Two And A Half Men”) features the equally unfunny Jamie Foxx. I imagine that there will be at least one absolutely uncomfortable racially-tinged skit that will straddle the lines of good taste and humor. Oh, the musical guest will be Ne-Yo. Expect lots of auto tune. What isn’t autotuned are the comments–so join us in snarking on the so-called humor! Continue reading

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 6 Liveblog

Here we go again, people! Well, last week, we bid adieu to Kayne, who made a truly hideous garment last week. Verily, the androgynous garment challenge was not for him. Again, Emilio knocked it out the damn park with his garments. Seriously, can we just go ahead and give this season to him?

Tonight’s fresh hell brings us a “going green” challenge. Oh, this isn’t going to be funny and stupid at all! Let’s snark, shall we? Cozy up, grab a drink or three, and let’s make fun of this challenge and the sewtestants in the comments! Continue reading
