Project Runway Season 6 Winner 2009 *Spoiler Alert*

project-runway-season-6-winner-irina

**Spoiler ALERT** (Sorry kittens!) In what some critics are deeming the worst season of Project Runway, the antagonist won. Irina was named the winner of the dullest season ever. Althea Harper, Irina Shabayeva and Carol Hannah Whitfield were the final three in the competition that led to Bryant Park.

If you failed to catch this season, you didn’t miss much. There was they cryer: Christopher, the token straight man (who bared an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Chase on House): Logan, the bitch: Mean-a Irina (who spent most of her time accusing people of stealing her ideas), and the one you were pulling for: Carol Hannah. Despite the move to L.A. and the opportunity to refresh a stale theme, the show was exactly the same. Right down to the low budget soft core porn music that played while the judging went on.

Carol Hannah might have been robbed of the title, but Irina couldn’t care less. She and her ALL black collection won the $100K and bragging rights she desperately wanted. Along with her spoils, model Kalyn Hemphill nabbed the winners spot for Models of the Runway.

Season 7 will return in just a few short WEEKS. January 14th will bring in a new season of Project Runway.

Craig Ferguson Cancelled !?!

This morning I have been inundated with emails wanting to know if my late night boo, Craig Ferguson, was fired. Calm down and relax. The host of “The Late Late Show” is NOT leaving. Yet. He has to finish out his six year contract that began in January of 2005 before he might vanish from your DVR.

Currently there is no official word of any plans to leave or truth to being fired.

Tim Gunn Responsible For Lindsay Lohan’s Hot Mess Fashion

tim-gunn

Is it just me, or can Tim Gunn do anything? It’s like the man could part the Red Sea while making homemade waffles while curing the Clap. He’s brillz.

However, his latest decision may have the Dame rethinking her celebrity tea party invite list (which also includes Anderson Cooper and Rue MacLanahan).

It seems the reason why Lindsay Lohan was chosen to serve as the artistic advisor for fashion mogul Ungaro, is because Tim Gunn sang her praises a few months ago.

Via New York Magazine:

“His comments that she had a great sense of fashion and knew what works and doesn’t work, were pretty significant to me … This was authentic, not the paparazzi press all talking about her car accidents, or the drug things,” added Moufarrige. “To be complimented by someone like Tim Gunn was very impressive.”

To be complimented by Tim Gunn is like being baptized by John.

However, when asked about Ungaro’s choice of Lohan last month at New York Fashion Week, Gunn let his true (and much less beige) colors show.

“It’s got to be a publicity stunt Or a crack-smoking board of directors?”

I am going to have to go with crack on this one, Tim. Boards love it when the help has more affinity for the nose candy.

Tim Gunn is a Biter – Video

I have no idea why Tim Gunn is hanging out with the nerds of Marvel comics. Perhaps he is a “Big Bang Theory” fan. (I *heart* Leonard.) Anyway, all I took from this interview is that Tim stated that he is a biter so I thought I’d share for funsies.

Project Runway Approacheth

project-runway-season-6

Yes my darlings! I too am shaking with excitement like one of those rats on string that wannabe socialites prance around in Louis Vuitton bags.

Project Runway is fast approaching as we mark down the days on the calendar until August 20th. Lets just hope Lifetime won’t ruin it with weepy beaten women who channeling their inner J.Lo as clients. This will be the debut of PR on the channel. In the words of RuPaul lets hope they “don’t f**k it up.”

Yours truly will be doing recaps and occasional live blogs of the show. Until then enjoy the lame commercial for the return of the show. It was interesting until the cut the bit of me chasing Tim Gunn around begging him to sign my underwear.

Project Runway Returns!

Let choirs of angels rejoice! The fashion heavens have parted the sea of legal battles and a ray of sun hath risen “Project Runway.” Birds are singing in jubilation, children are parading in the streets singing of the return of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum.

Bravo and Lifetime have been battling over reality hit, “Project Runway.” Finally, all regards to the fate of the show have been legally settled and will return to tv. People has confirmed the final season, which has already been shot with a finale filmed at New York Fashion Week last month, will make it air this summer.

Sadly, the show will not return to it’s original home. Lifetime won the rights and everything will move from New York to Los Angeles. The reigning judges panel will remain with Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Tim will also be there to mentor and guide the rising designers. (Yay for me. I can stalk Tim Gunn better this way. Er…I mean worship from afar.)

The show has gathered a celebrity following. Last season we were treated to a few guest judges that ranged from L.L. Cool J to Natalie Portman. Jennifer Lopez was due to be a final judge, but backed out last minute because she stubbed her toe…had the trots or something ridiculous like that. Season 6 will feature Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker and Rebecca Romijn. (I am hoping Eva is also stricken with a wicked toe stubbing and will be forced to be replaced.)

Bravo is replacing their fashion reality jewel with another style challenging show. The creative title for the replace is called, “The Fashion Show.” This sounds like an disaster waiting to happen. Isaac Mizrahi, who owes me $39.95 for some bed sheets that lasted 2 months, is joining forces with Kelly Rowland. I can just picture Kelly trying to work it like Heidi and treated the eliminated guest to her rendition of ’N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” while Isaac dances in the background.

Tim Gunn VS. Armani and Donna Karan

Tim Gunn is my boo and hero. He is pretty much the Jesus of Fashion. After working his way through Parsons as a teacher, he moved on to be Heidi Klum’s sidekick on “Project Runway.” From here he became more mainstream and captured my heart.

Gunn is bravely taking on fashion power houses Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan. He joined the celebrity movement to end the use of real fur. My boo narrated a video that featured footage of rabbits being skinned alive for their fur and foxes being electrocuted. He delicately attacks designers who still use genuine fur with his stunning vocabulary. Page Six reports his moving words:

“Any designer in the fashion industry who does not want to watch the PETA video and see exactly what happens to animals and how they’re treated and how the product that they use comes to the marketplace, I believe, is egregiously irresponsible.”

Armani and Karan were singled out due to their reneged promise of never using real fur again. Reps for Giorgio’s label have released as statement damning the video.

“Despite the fact that we have previously sold products made from animal fur, the Armani Group has now decided to renounce making such items with the exception of those in rabbit fur, the by-product of an animal that is a staple source of food . . . We must stress that PETA is exploiting our name to stir up public opinion without acknowledging that we actually include very few fur items in our collections, while certain competitors of ours base much of their business on furs.”

Meanwhile, Donna Karan, who was a guest on the last season of “Project Runway” simply stated:

“There is no fur in any of our lines for Fall 2009, and we currently have no plans to use fur.”

Her is a more horrifying image…Pamela Anderson and Tim Gunn fighting crime Peta style. It’s like two opposing forces of classiness mingling together for the sake of bunnies. Now that is a tale to tell the kiddies this holiday. Silicone Sally and Tiny Tim save the fluffies of the world in time to save Christmas.

Anderson Cooper Loves NeNe

I secretly love Anderson Cooper. Really…who doesn’t love this man. He is like the Tim Gunn of politics.

While on Ellen he talked about the election, blah-blah, the President, and NeNe from the “Real Houswives of Atlanta.” That’s what I’m talking about! Ellen wasn’t up on the NeNe factor and Cooper was stunned and even gave an “Oh Honey” after finding she wasn’t up on the reality tv star.

In case you don’t know about ‘The NeNe,’ above is just a little bit of NeNe gold.
