Check out this cool article I found that contrasts Tim Gunn to Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul -- it's really funny. You have to download the PDF to read it,
but it's worth the effort!

Sorry, I couldn't get the hyperlink to work. This is from the Baltimore Sun about Christian. I really hope he wins! |

The girls from Go Fug Yourself put odds on the winner of PR for the New Yorker and made an interesting point about what kind of winner the show probably wants,
and since the previous three have essentially amounted to nothing or at least nothing more than they were before the show, they would probably be only too
happy to see Rami win, as he's the most likely to get celebrities showing up at red carpet events in his gowns, which is a great way for the show to point
to him and be all "Look! Someone wore his dress to the Oscars! We made him a STAR!" I could also see Jillian turning a win from the show into a
successful business but to be honest I'm not sure what Christian would do. Being a fashion designer isn't all twirling around a studio and screaming
"Fierce! Bitch! Ferosh!" I mean, can you actually see him at the head of a business? And I know fashion shows are a bit more dramatic than the
clothes that actually end up in stores but honestly can you picture him trying to alter his clothes to go on the rack at a major chain store in a variety of
sizes?

^ Do you really think the designers actually run the entire business? You don't need an MBA to design clothes and shit.

Bidding is now open for the individual items from Chris and Sweet P's Bryant Park shows. They end in about 4.5 hours. After that,
Rami/Jillian/Ferocia's stuff goes up for bid.
http://projectrunway.auction.seenon.com/viewcat.php?category=131 The dresses from the Hershey's challenge are also currently up. I would have loved to get some of their sketches, but all of those auctions seem to have closed. |

I'm calling sexual discrimination! They have shirts designed by all of the contestants again, and again, they're only available in women's sizes!
http://projectrunway.seenon.com/?v=projectrunway-designerstshirts&pagemax=all&SESSID=54f0cd5c2465c9a1fcfb0b0abcf4f23c I would lovelovelove to get Christian's, which says, "I'm kind of a big deal. Are you?" |

And one more link before I leave work. For those who avoided going to links before to see the videos of the Bryant Park show, here's footage of all of
Chris and Sweet P's outfits:

I'm with you, Cousin O...I want them to make the shirts in all sizes and for both genders. Um, I mean...I would totally buy that shirt of Christian's
for my little one, cause she IS kind of a big deal. And don't they know their audience is not just women, but also gay men? Come on, Bravo...give us
men's sizes and children's, too.

Two guys & one gal have won so far....To even it up, bet the producers pushed for Jillian.....as each of the three have their own style and Jillian is as
good as the other two.

I checked that t-shirt auction...interesting that they only have Christian's shirt as a combo with that makeup bag. Spoiler? (I'm probably reading too
much into it. It could be because he wears more eyeliner than any of them.)

RBBarbie, I also love Sweet P's "Sweet P./Mean P." one.
But even if they made it in my size, I'd be complaining that it's white, when I'd rather have navy. Couldn't the show have contracted threadless.com to make these shirts? 
How do you do the thing where you type out a whole line of URL, but instead of the URL showing up in the comment, it just shows a word of your choice, as a hyperlink? Like how would I type out the URL for threadless, but only made the word 'threadless' show up as a clickable link? |

I hope you weren't asking me!! I tried figuring it out and it wouldn't work for me. I'll have to put my daughter on figuring it out.

I was just re-watching the last ep, and I noticed that Kors said he's upset that Chris is still showing them costumes.
What is he talking about? Throughout the whole season, it seemed to me that Chris was doing his best NOT to show costumey stuff. He put out a lot of "normal" fashion, and the only times he put out "costumes" was when the challenge called for it, such as the WWE, avant garde and museum inspiration challenges. I love this show so much, but sometimes I really wonder why, since the judges often irk the shit out of me with the comments and choices they make. |

By the way the show is going I have to say that Rami is the winner of this season. Both Jillian and Christian have gotten such negeative edits and its not even
30 minutes in.

I'm not seeing a negative Christian edit...he's coming off pretty much like he did all season.
ETA: Oh, and I hate the hairstyles on Rami's models.

Girlfriend has a fierce body. Did she forget to check the mirror before walking out?

My pick is still Jillian, but I have to say I also loved Rami's collection. Some of the workmanship is fantastic.
Christian, as usual, too over the top. I did like the two-tone super-ruffly dress, though. Way too over the top, but very cool looking all the same. |
