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.

Heidi Klum Expecting Fourth Baby

April 16, 2009 By 5 Comments

Congratulations to model Heidi Klum and singer-husband Seal who are expanding their beautiful family! According to E! Online, sources confirm that Klum is expecting another baby, and that she is a little less than four months pregnant. Word of the couples happy news apparently leaked when sketches of Klum in a gown redesigned for her growing belly had somehow made its way onto the Internet.

Season 7 of “Project Runway” is set to start filming in NYC this summer, which means the supermodel will once again be working while heavily pregnant. Hmmm… wonder if we’ll see any maternity-design challenges happening? The happy couple already have two sons together, Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel. Seal is also the adoptive father of Klum’s 5 year old daughter, Helene “Leni” Klum whom she had with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.

Wow. Four kids all under the age of 5…. She must be the Wonder Woman of Moms!

Project Runway Returns!

April 2, 2009 By 1 Comment

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.

Hayden Panettiere Getting Her Own TV Show

March 19, 2009 By 2 Comments

The Panty Pirate from “Heroes” might be getting her own show. To which I beg the TV Gods to reconsider.

Hayden Panettiere has been meeting execs to pitch ideas for her own show. While most are calling for her character to be yanked off her current money maker, she will be sticking around the tv world according to on set spies.

Recently she had a meeting at Tower Bar inside L.A.’s Sunset Tower Hotel. This followed a couple of other meetings with top tv executives in the hopes of finding someone to pick up her idea. According to sources, she is just looking to produce the show. Her goal is to achieve Heidi Klum-like status with a fashion related show circa “Project Runway.”

Great gobs of Gucci! May style and good sense win out over the delusions that Hayden could possibly rank herself with Heidi-Fiercest of the Fierce Bitches -Klum. Perhaps she is better suited for “Little People, Big World.” Although I love that show…so maybe someone should just drop a house on her.

Christian Siriano Payless Shoe Line – Photos

February 20, 2009 By 3 Comments

Ok…I am not a huge fan of Christian Siriano. Thanks to “Project Runway” and friends with money, Victoria Beckham, he is rising in the fashion industry. He showed at fashion week this year. (Which doesn’t necessarily make him a hot designer, but doesn’t hurt either.) But I was willing to give him a shot.

When I heard he was cranking out a line of shoes for for Payless I rolled my eyes and expected a half hearted creation of platforms. Which is basically what we have here. The only problem is that most of these designs are recycled from other designers.

The boots are so from last season’s YSL. The spiky heels are a cheap knock-off of Rodarte’s 2008 collection. The color palette of these footwear creations is drab and not exactly appealing. I commend him for bringing designs from popular designers down to a price range that is more realistic, but I hope he isn’t claiming cutting edge on the line.

Perhaps I was expecting something more avant garde. Thoughts?

Christian Siriano Sings Payless Deal

December 1, 2008 By Leave a Comment

It’s like lessons on how to stay relevant. It is hardly fashion news, but I had to share the fallen ego of the Project Runway winner.

Christian Siriano, winner of Heidi Klum Minions Work for Free show, has inked a deal with Payless shoes. He is known for openly bashing other designers. His favorite victims are those ho bags from “The Hills” who call themselves designers. At one point he was designing garb for Victoria Beckham, Heidi Klum, Vanessa Williams and celebs of that nature.

On his way “up” he has signed a deal with the affordable shoe store for a line of shoes and handbags due in fall 2009.

“I’m so excited to design and create with such an amazing brand that is all about fashion and trend but, most importantly, is also about affordability,” said Siriano. “I’ve already been working with the Payless Design Team in New York, and I can’t wait to see how they will take the high- end shoes and bags I’m designing for the runway and turn them into pieces that everyone can buy. I’m all about the runway and the sidewalks!”

You can get your recycled idealism in shoe form for the bargain price of $25-$45 next February. His collection for the shoe source will be featured in his New York show.

Is it just me or is he like the next Isaac Mizrahi?
