Excuse me, bitches

Sorry, but I must post about Project Runway again. Because Daniel's exit interview is up, and the boy is, in the words of the Project RunGay boys, DELUSIONAL.

Some "high"lites:

-"I feel really sad about leaving. I didn't expect it."
(Newsflash: You're the only one who's surprised.)

-"I don't think I deserved to go." (You made strung-out-wig ( Read more... )

Did you know he's gay with Wesley? The internet said.

That was an awesome episode, btw. I think the challenges this season have been a lot of fun. And I was happy to see The Fat (Borat reference, referring to Chris) this week and Laura next week.

P.S. I do love Project Rungay, but don't you think they're getting to be Bravo whores? They review Shear Genius and Top Design AND have a big banner ad for that new show that someone from the first season of Shear Genius is hosting.

I did know about he and Wesley. Good, let them go be boring and clueless together. And I love the people who've been coming back, especially Chris. I never loved Laura especially, but I read her adventures with the Project RunGay guys, so I've gotten to like her better. I think this season is WAY better than last, if only because there are real people in it. Fashion talent might not be as good, but the designers are all unique and different and that's more fun to watch. Go Terri!

PS: The Project RunGay guys are whores for Bravo because Bravo whores itself out to gay men. They give every show Bravo does a shot because it caters to them, and they love every minute of it even when they hate the show.

Terri deserved the win. EARNED IT. Joe's model did his work for him in rescuing that garment and being fit enough that the tightness worked. Terri took a freak show and made her into a FABULOSITY (who was still a freak show, thus staying true to the client's aesthetic). Korto's was interesting, but ultimately not all that flattering for a large model, and the flames were oddly positioned such that they blocked the face. Were they coming off the shoulder more, it would have been better.

Kenley is a hipster chick. Hipsters suck. Also, hipster chicks dig Betty Page. Nothing to be done about that. Also, the 1950s are a short way to convey glamour in an outfit because they were a time of ridiculously femme'd up fashion. It's been in for a while now as a reaction to the heroin chic and super skinny looks. I mean, we still have those, we just dress it up in Donna Reed's sweater set to disguise that fact...

Interesting to note: in an interview with Hedda Lettuce, she said she didn't consider Acid Betty a "real" drag queen, though she retracted it. I think what she was trying to say, though, is that Acid Betty is less a drag queen and more a shock-performance participant. And I kinda see that. Unlike some of the others (Hedda Lettuce especially, I'd say), Acid Betty didn't look like she was even really trying to be especially female looking. Completely femme'd up, yes, but specifically drag queen? Possibly not. If it were the 1980s, you'd be hard pressed to say Acid Betty wasn't just a club kid gone hardcore.

I still think Terri should have won for that outfit, though. I can't believe how breath-takingly striking it was.

And Joe...what to do about Joe? He's not bad, not so laughably out of touch as Daniel or in denial like Keith (baby, one more shredded dress, and you are auf). It's just that he's not a designer so well. Or, perhaps, I should say, he's less a designer than he is an executor. He's the sort of guy you picture being behind ( ... )
