Next to Welcome Week, NY Fashion Week is our favorite week of the year. We may actually like it more, but only because we can remember what happened/don’t feel like total hell at the end of it.What could be better than watching our favorite designers send their newest duds down the runway? And what better way to spend our days than by taking all those delectable looks and figuring out ways to make them our own?

Ooo wee! We get so excited just thinking about it.

This year’s fashion week did not dissapoint. Everyone from Nanette Lepore to The Gap pulled out all the stops and sent some brilliant looks through the tents at Bryant Park. We sifted through every last collection (yes, our lives are sad and horribly difficult) to bring you our favorites of Fashion Week 2008. Sure, actually being at the shows next to Anna Wintour and Rachel Zoe would have been glamorous and awesome, but we got to do this in our PJs.

Which is how we roll.

And wouldn’t want it any other way.

It’s official; even the execs at Bravo know that this season of Project Runway blows. Why else would they dream up a challenge the likes of which we witnessed last night?

Dressing drag queens? Really?

Don’t get me wrong; having Chris March back on the show (using disco balls as a brassiere) made me very happy. Finally! Someone entertaining! But that doesn’t mean the challenge made any sense. The show is supposed to be about finding the next big designer; how the hell does designing Drag for some Queens do that?

Much like I wondered when I was forced to take Stats in college, I have to know: how is this applicable to anything they will do in the future?

Anyways, the designers had to choose from a slew of Queens with names like Headda Lettuce, Sweetie and Miss Understood. And I gotta say, it was nice to have some fun people around again. Is there any way these “ladies” can be on the show full time? The Queens were hilarious, vivacious and had some mad skills with a makeup brush. The designers, on the other hand, are all so boring and I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say we are sick of Suede.

Yes, even with the touching moment he had with his deceased Grandpa, sprouting lettuce and that weird bandanna thing on his head. Read More »

This could be the fiercest Thursday since the morning after Christian Siriano took the top honor on the last season of Project Runway. Yes, my friends, today is the day that the Hot Tranny Mess of a designer launches his line on Bluefly.com!

I have been waiting a long time for this day, but after looking at his designs I realize that I am not quite sure what I was waiting for. The stuff is beautiful, don’t get me wrong; the detailing is intricate and interesting, the line is extremely diverse considering the lack of color and it all looks incredibly well made. It’s just that, well, it’s not like I can fit into that sh*t. You know, cuz I have more than 2% body fat.

Oh, and I don’t have an extra $10,000 lying around to spend on skirts and jackets.

But, even if Posh Spice is the only person who can afford/fit into this line, Little Siriano sure didn’t dissapoint. This kid has SERIOUS talent and I can’t wait for him to start designing for Target (do it, Christian. DO IT!).

As the 5th season of Project Runway draws nearer (next week! Yessss!), I can’t contain my excitement. I have spent the past week watching all the season marathons (one of the perks of workin’ at home!) and I have even been doin’ a little runway walking everywhere I go. Yes, that is a true story.

In honor of the big event (it will be the last good season of the show before it moves to Lifetime…ew), I decided to take a trip down PR Memory Lane. Where are the big winners now and, more importantly, where can I buy their sh*t?

Jay McCarroll:

We haven’t seen much of Jay since his big win on the first season of Project Runway. Well, I saw him once doing some weird thing where he sat in a window front in some store in NY and talked about all the people walking by. But in terms of designing – the reason he won the freaking show – there has been, well, nothing. It has been years since Jay walked that delicious line down the runway and…nothing. Not a peep. Not a single stitch.

Well, he is finally in business. Online business, to be exact. But is he selling gorgeous knits? Is he making people “see fashion in a new and different way”? No. He’s making f-ing t-shirts…and ugly bags.

Ugh. Bring us the knits, man. The knits! Read More »

The only thing I like more than D-list celeb gossip is FAKE D-list celeb gossip.

Recently, at a club in Houston, a promoter hosted a party and reportedly told everyone Kim Kardashian was going to be there. Then “Kim” rolled up sporting sunglasses and was hidden behind a curtain – most likely to conceal the fact that “Kim” looks less like Ms. Kardashian and more like (in the words of the great Christian Siriano) a hot tranny mess.

Real Kim caught wind of the scam and blogged about it on her site, stating that she has absolutely not been in Houston lately and won’t be any time soon, and therefore hopes that no one confuses her with a potential tranny.

Now this is where things get good. Today, TMZ posted a video of one of Harvey Levin’s classy minions interviewing the fake Kim along with one of her friends, and while I recommend viewing it yourself to fully experience the ghettoness that is Fake Kim, a.k.a. Miss Natasha, I’ll offer a little list of the main points that are covered: Read More »

Wednesday night’s finale of Project Runway had me on the edge of my couch. I was a Christian fan ever since overly confident attitude and overly hair-sprayed spunky hair graced my TV. I was hooked on his designs from the very first challenge when he made that fab plaid jacket. So I would have to agree with him when he said “It’s crazy, but, hello, did you have a doubt?”

Out of every season of Project Runway, this is the first time I absolutely LOVED all three collections. Rami’s woven pieces and Jillian’s knit wear made me wish I knew how to use a sewing machine. And know how to draw. And be a fashion designer. Or maybe just have it all in my closet. (Hey a girl can dream right?)

But 21-year-old Christian Siriano’s final collection proved he has what it takes to play in the majors. His collection of skinny trousers, ruffles, high collars and big belts (and a delectable two-tone feathered gown) were so extravagantly detailed and were screaming high fashion. Not to mention, he got Victoria Beckham to (gasp!) SMILE. (Which even she admitted was a tough feat to accomplish, as she told him she would love to wear his stuff) Read More »
