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 →

Announcing the “I’m Too Tired for Real Pants” Pants

sweatpants_pants

Oh, America. It’s come to this. It’s come to the point where we ask if we should even bother putting on real dress pants to go to work in? Why don’t we just wrap a terry cloth towel around our legs covered in Doritos and Yoo-Hoo, tie them with a licorice string, stuff ourselves into our fussy hybrid vehicles and motor ourselves on down to the local industrial park, throw our heads in a muff, and turn our cubicles into a Spider-Man toddler bed and just forget the whole thing! This is what unpants-pants will do for you! Or more to the point, what cotton sweatpants disguised as dress pants are for. 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 →

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 5 Liveblog

“Ohhhh, my Goddddddd!”

It’s Thursday and you know what that means! Yes, my dears, it’s time for another installment of Dancing with the Has-Been Sewtestants! Well, we’re not really watching them dance so much as we’re watching them slice and dice fabric and creating horrendous “looks” the likes of which you wouldn’t be caught dead in. Last week, Hardly Heidi and the judging crew sent Andrae packing back to Red Lobster, where he can sit and eat those deadly cheddar biscuits, all the while waiting for Tim Gunn to arrive.

Project Runway All-Stars Season 2 Episode 2 Liveblog

Oh, Peach, we hardly knew you again.

I mean, come on. Who among you was surprised when Peach got the old heave-ho last week? I certainly wasn’t, for she is certainly the least crazy of this particular assemblage of “all-stars.”

Ok, so here we go with the second episode of this season of “All-Stars.” And who is this host? Carolyn Murphy isn’t even Heidi-lite. She’s more like HeidiHardly. Or HardlyHeidi. This woman is definitely not going to have a line of crappy baby wear. Well, thank Heidi it’s Thursday, because it’s time to pull up a chair, pour a BIG glass and snark with us! Join us as we rip the “fashions” and the sewtestants!

Project Runway Season 10 Finale Liveblog

It’s finally, actually, really, truly here, kittens! The Project Runway Season 10 Finale! Unlike last week, in which there were no surprises, no one got sent home, no one was told that they suck and should never touch fabric ever again–not that anybody watched (at least, not me), because everyone was busy watching Uncle Joe Biden slap douchey P90x VP candidate Paul Ryan upside the head.

Attention Everyone! Big Bird Is Done Being Exploited

No Muppet has ever been as “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” than Big Bird. Ever since Mitt Romney, childhood-killing, numbers hater said he would defund PBS and effectively fire Big Bird, well, the Bird has had it. PBS sent a stern message to the campaign calling Romney some sort of soul-stealing, dream bashing wizard (none of that is true except the parts that are), and when Obama’s re-election campaign used Big Bird’s image in an ad, the Sesame Workshop also reached out and sent their campaign a cease and desist letter. Naturally all the hub-bub surrounding Big Bird has made the long-time childhood friend popular in other circles including the Halloween market. Oh, geez. Yandy.com. Continue reading →

Project Runway Season 10 Pre-Finale

Project Runway pre-finaleWelp, it is Episode 13 kids, the lucky one that decides who REALLY is in Fashion Week (besides all of the other ones that have already done a show). Christopher, Dmitry, Fabio and Melissa are going and we are too. One will be eliminated before the finale.  Any predictions? Will Melissa send down a runway of clothing in black? Will Dmitry decide he’s had enough of this silliness and just accio principatus? Will Fabio be able to finally afford a real hat? So many questions. Continue reading →
