Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Bust out your black blazers and jeans, Michael Kors is married.
The ‘Project Runway’ judge married Lance Le Pere on Tuesday in New York. The couple had a private ceremony on Dune Beach officiated by Southampton Mayor, Mark Epley. They began planning the ceremony after N.Y. legalized same-sex marriage. (Just one more reason The Big Apple is awesome.)
The next season of ‘Project Runway‘ is getting ready to start on Lifetime in July. Last time, the judges had a case of the WHERE AM I/WHAT’S GOING ON?! and dubbed Gretchen’s beige talent the winner and many fans threw shade while quitting that mess. So, to appeal to fashion craving women and gay men with a thirst for style…Heidi Klum is naked in an ad for the show! It totally makes sense. (No it doesn’t.)
Season 9 of ‘Project Runway’ begins on July 28th and will have guest judges like Kim Kardashian, Malin Akerman, Christina Ricci, and Zoe Saldana.
Michael C. was kicked off last week in a spectacle of emotions ranging from temper tantrums, crying in a corner and genuine heartbreak. I agree that he might lack the talent to win and has a very questionable palate, but Gretchen was still there with what the judges deemed “granola” mini collection?!! My LAWD the judging panel is either higher than a Jesus fart or they are actually delusional. Sorry Nina Garcia…nothing about her frumpy grampy designs are marketable or sexy. I come from granola country and visited the lands of New York, Paris and L.A. where fashion knows no bounds and I could never see anyone trying to rock her style. If I did, I would bit my lip and think ‘Oh, honey…no.’ Alas, I am not the Editor of a fashion mag, but I call crap when I see it.
The show started with a compilation of how the Final Three managed to make it to Fashion Week. (Don’t get confused. 10 PR contestants actually showed at NY Fashion Week. Only 3 compete to win.) It looked as though Gretchen was going to get her comeuppance, but Heidi Klum, Mondo and even Tim Gunn (shame rattle) defended her and pointed the finger at feminism. I rolled my eyes and cited the lack of balls being the true problem. Someone should have told Ivy to sit down and quit blaming everyone else for her faults and tell Gretchen that no one wants to wear anything beyond her first three looks.
Moving on…the collections were in all disappointing. I liked Andy’s with his Asian influence but hated the floaty bikini ensemble. Mondo was the clear winner for 92% of the season, but his style is an acquired taste and takes me back to last year when fluorescent colors and huge, black boxy prints dominated. Gretchen cranked out a drab collection that made me think burlap sack trying to be chic. Show me a woman willing to wear a horrid earth tone jacket and GIANT GRANNY PANTIES and I will say hello senile Great Aunt Yetta! 3 looks featured the horrid boyshort meets adult diaper.
So someone explain to me how Wretched Gretchen and her Depends spectacular WON PROJECT RUNWAY. Mondo should have won this mess or Andy could have been the dark horse who was thrown a bone, but I seriously question what the judges were thinking for this season. You know, I haven’t been able to come to appreciate the show ever since the entire Lifetime/Bravo debacle.
Lifetime constantly alluded to things that never happened in the show during commercials so, as a viewer, you watched but then felt constant disappointment in the show. I blog, I get the lure tactic, but you have to deliver something once you have your audience. After reading several other site’s reactions I am thinking that Lifetime might have lost several PR fans. I have also lost a bit of respect for the judge’s decision making skills, taste and understanding of style. It’s not just because of Gretchen’s win, but because I am constantly astonished by their opinions on what is sell-able and what would be lux style.

What? Jessica Simpson has her own shoe line, cranked out some denim and looks like she is shopping at Dress Barn, but she has been given the honor of being Project Runway’s finale judge.
I had to double check that the headline read Project Runway and not Project Corn Dog Taster. I adore how ditzy Jess is in dumber-than-a-box-of-hair-but-still-rich way, but…was everyone else busy? Simpson even showed up wearing an unfortunate dress from Charo’s pregnant mother of the bride line that didn’t do her figure any favors. (Click HERE to see Jessica Simpson’s latest baby bump rumors and pics.)
All Jessica Simpson barbs aside, she is not a “big girl” nor is she “fat.” I just think she really needs to fire her stylist. I am glad to see the end of this season of Project Runway. I don’t know how much more of Gretchen and Ivy I can take!

The only man alive aloud to berate Anna Wintour…Fashion Jesus, Tim Gunn. I adore him so be nice.
The loveable Tim Gunn has been big pimpin’ his new book ‘Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons For Making It Work’ on various shows. He hit Regis and Kelly’s show and left a note for Kelly that said “Gurl, eat a cheeseburger. I can see your heart beating through your no-chest. Hugs, The Gunn” (It’s a possibility.)
He also paid a visit to ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.’ On both shows he talked about calling Anna Wintour out for demanding to be carried down 5 flights of stairs after snubbing an elevator. I can’t blame her. My niece calls them floating stinky fart boxes. After sharing the story, Wintour’s minions demanded that Tim retract the story and apologize. To this demand he snapped his fingers and said “Bitch you betta recognize. Tim Gunn doesn’t lie.”
The subject came up again on ‘The Daily Show’ and Tim once again stood by his story and only apologized for implying that Anna didn’t know how to work a Manolo.

Gunn has never been shy when it comes to calling out divas. I literally started a slow clap when he called out Gretchen for being a manipulative wench on ‘Project Runway.’
While I often disagree with Nina’s taste, she is still my favorite ‘Project Runway‘ judge. You know me. I am always a fan of bitchery.
Nina Garcia, 45, is pregnant with her second child. Her first kid, a boy named Lucas Alexander, is now 3. She and her husband, David Conrod, are both elated. Nina is due in December.
Congrats!
**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.
Huzzah! It’s FINALLY here. The much anticipated return of “Project Runway” hath cometh.
Enter token gay man Ra’mon. Logan looks like Chase from “House.” Johnny opens by talking about his meth addiction and how it kept him from several past seasons. Gordana has big accent ya, hahaha! Malvin has a fluffy muff on his head and we move on to Qristyl, who is not a stripper as her name suggests, but a purveyor of plus size clothes she deems “plus sexy.” I have a feeling we are going to be kindred spirits or mortal enemies.
A little brunette pops out from a cab and I hate her powdered sugar personality already. Her name is Shirin and means “sweet.” She has nice hair though. Nina is going to make this little girl her bitch. Nicolas is going to be all queeny as he is bragging about his dress making Vogue and his bio vid shows a horrid body suit/silver body condom he created. Mitchell looks like he should be working at Pizza Hut, but insists he knows how to dress a woman.
Holy shiz! It’s Bob Marley! Nope it’s some guy named Epperson who the glance over as another queen has entered the room. Christopher is from Minnesota and everyone giggles because he might as well have announced himself as a drag queen with a penchant for tractor pulls.
Ari is Sam Ronson’s feminine side embodied. Her first words “Hello fabric, what would you like me to make you into today!?” Seriously…if Winona Ryder and Sam mated this would be the result. She also wants to make you a tacky jacket that you could “go into a tent that would also have water purification systems and you’d be comfortable in it.” What? Seriously…keep her away from Johnny otherwise they will be sharing meth stories and giggling in the pantry while eating all the Fruit Loops while Dr. Drew does a cross over show and helps them put the crack pipe down.

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.
