   sg-dub, a while back I felt like you were going to announce an impending sg-dub Jr. If that’s the case, congratulations to you and the little lady. I hope you enjoy your paternity leave. Or perhaps you’ve gone completely Hollywood and are getting the “exhastion” breast implants. Good for you. None of my biz either way.

   re: Project Runway
   EdHill, I know you are going to kick ass at this recap. I’m thrilled.

   Santino’s dress this week was not my favorite. Kinda messy in the bosom area. My favorite was Nick’s. The cut, the color, the silky fabric, the touch of embellishing on the shoulders. Gorgeous! Incidentally this dress is going for the highest bid right now (sadly out of my league this month…Yes, I am crying…) Next I liked Daniel Valium’s creation. Great print in flashy colors. Super sexy. Number 2 in the bidding and also too rich for my blood. Daniel V’s bedhead is annoying. He seems like one of those artsy guys who spends several hours in front of the mirror trying to look unkempt. Whatever, he’s a great designer. My final faves were Chloe and Andrae. Chloe’s was fun and saucy. Andrae’s dress was very classy and good looking. I thought it was a possible winner. The losers were just that. Marla’s dress, stolen or not, just sucked. She’s going home next week, fo’ sho’. sg-dub said it exactly “Guadelupe was sent home because her shitty dress looked like she dragged it through a garbage dump with double sided tape on it”. Word.
   Forgive me that I’m still not finished. What’s up with Emmet(t?)? Not that I don’t like his outfits, I do. But he always seems put out. “I’m a menswear designer so…” Every time. Is he on the show to challenge himself? Get exposure for his menswear collections? What in the land is his motivation to be on a show working with female models and their clothes?

   Hear that people? I’m “more than capable”.

   Suck on that cute girl who turned me down at the bar Friday.

   And don’t worry, Since I am John Lennon to Sg-dubs Ringo, I’m sure he will be helping me with a few jokes here and there before his return. This won’t be like one of those Billy Joel retirements where he just gets really really fat, gets vienna sausages for fingers and drives into bushes a lot. Or a Johnny Carson one where he just like, dies and stuff. No, I think of this as more of a Walter Cronkite retirement. Where instead of disappearing, he just appears in every documentray ever made from 1983 onward.

   So many Santino Jokes waiting to burst forth. I hope I am up to the challenge.

   sg-dub,

   I’m not gonna read the recap just yet. Just wanted to tell you that you will be missed – I have enjoyed ALL of your recaps on all the shows you cover – and like madeyoulaugh- you too will be missed – greatly.

   Please do a Garth Brooks retirement and show up all the time and propose to EdHill while he’s recapping and have a secret Christmas wedding. Just don’t go Garbo and vanish. PLEASE!

   The bust on Santino’s dress looked like ship’s tackle, and I don’t get the allure of the whole “baby doll” thing. Let’s spend a fortune to dress like a five-year-old retard, or Baby Jane Hudson.

   Gay guys out there: Is there some “gay bum” look that I don’t know about that people like Santino espouse? Is there a gay bum scene, where people have long greasy hair and bad teeth? He needs Queer Eye For The Gay Guy.

   And people who need “props” like his little tweed hat drive me up the wall — like Felix on The Cut with his skateboard, or Danny on The Apprentice with his fucking guitar.

    Messy in the bosom area like Tara Reid, baby. “They had a little trouble with reattaching the areola. Everyone keeps calling me Franken-nip. Whatever, pour me another 7 shots of Jager.”

    YES, holyterror! Baby doll is so “I’m pregnant”. I’ve spent so much time pg that I never want to mistakenly look like I’m with child. Please, let me show off my hourglass! Maybe it’s cute if you’re a 18-24 year old stick figure, whose eating disorder could never allow actual fertilization.
    Santino’s tiny prop is annoying. I’m waiting for some reality tool to show up with a monocle, a la Mr. Peanut. One of our local homeless is never seen without his beret. Somehow I find that dashing.

    Lizardqueen, I agree with you completely!! Santino’s was NOT the best design. Nikki Hilton picked him because he was able to BS her at the party and she fell for it. He is talented but he didn’t deserve to win this one and his bragging is getting on my last nerve. Take a shower, already!

    sg-dub, we’ll miss you!

    In the “dumb props” department, I forgot to add just about everything on Raj on The Apprentice, and I think the “Spicy Latina” shirts count, too.

    Lizardqueen: I agree — Nick’s dress would be so much more flattering, and show off those great boobs, asses, and flat stomachs we all work on our entire lives from age 10; and get sucked up from droopiness for many years thereafter. I even think it would work on those of us who are more voluptuous, and a good bare back is a wow on anyone unless you’ve got serious bra roll or (shudder) back fur.

    Plus, I just like Nick and his model — especially his little cupie-doll hairdo. I’m cheering for them both.

    Holy buckets, cookie! Yes, girl you can bid on the runway. Go to http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/ then click on “Buy Runway”. This brings up a lot of stupid crap like t-shirts, but fiddle around to find the current week’s offerings. Unbelieveable about the scratchy looking underwear going for so much money. It says right beneath each item that the outfit is tailored to this specific model (no duh!) etc. so most bidders probably won’t be wearing their purchases.
    Did Daniel Valium’s model look like an angry Tawny Kitaen circa 1990? She was kinda burly too. Go muscles!

    Sorry to see you go sg-dub. Hope to see you back on here soon.

    In further Prison Break news, I see that they won for Favorite new TV drama at the People’s Choice Awards last night. On the flipside, how in the WORLD can anyone justify Ray Romano over Kiefer as favorite male TV star. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?!?!

    I just checked out the PR auctions and other items for sale. In addition to auctioning off their creations from the show, each designer has designed a PR t-shirt. Daniel Valium’s says “Free Tim Gunn.” That seals it, he is one of my favorites. Go Nick, Chloe, Diana, and Daniel V!

    There was a clique of gay bums who used to hang out on the corner of my block when I was growing up, but they were really beautiful (if a bit smelly and scary) and would probably never be seen with anyone as fetid as Santino.

    They really loved my father, who was a neat, old-school, Wall Street type. He used to call them “My friends with the size 14 pumps.”

    LQ, i agree w/ ur breakdwn of each of the designer’s outfit, very right on. I thought Nick’s dress was far more beautiful & flattering than Santino’s, who once ag’n seemed to overembellish a little—with BOTH the braiding & pleating on the bodice. I wish they hadn’t given him the win, only 2 enjoy watching him explode & flip out like a baby. Diana’s (‘she sounds like she has a permanent cold’) dress wasn’t flatterin either, and unfortunately, I don’t agree w/ Emett’s designs very often—his baby doll dress 4 ths episode wasn’t even that flatterin on the tall skinny model that wore it.

    to whoever said that abt the ‘hipsters in B’lyn who smell bad’, HA!!! I couldn’t agree w/ u more, altho i thnk it isn’t limited 2 men, hipsters in gen’l stink. (figuratively & physically!)

    Can’t wait til 2nite’s episode—Marla (plagiarizing designer) must go, it was painful 2 watch her in ths previous episode. i squirmed e’ry time i saw her, she’s PATHETIC & blames raisin a kid 2 her late start in life (the w’m is 51! unless she had the baby last yr she really couldve gotten a move on a while ago). Tlk abt the pot calling the kettle black, in 2nite’s preview, Santino is shown complaining abt how Diana’s voice GETS ON HIS NERVES—-HA! He who sounds like he swallowed a bass drum is complaining?? that’s rich.

    i find santino’s voice soothing, i enjoy hearing him speak yes, he looks unkempt, but i am a fan, not neccessarily of his designs, for that i go with nick

    tonight they pair up, i just don’t see them sending diana home and she is paired with marla

    i think its too obvious to think its zulema and zara (can’t remember their names) any predictions?

    Whoever said “Empire” (like Empire Strikes Back) in describing her dress — was that Zulema or someone else?– deserves to not only be INSTANTLY OUT, but TAKEN OUT AND SHOT. ANY ignatz who fancies themselves an educated designer, learns in Design 101 it’s “Ahm-PEER”. Moron.

    I also think it will be too obvious for them to send Zulema and Kara home tonight based on the commercials. As sad as I am to say this because I love the Engster, I think it will be Diana and Marla.

    I was appalled that CopyCat Marla was allowed to stay and Lupe was kicked. Okay, Lupe’s dress did look like she was channeling Oscar the Grouch. But I would rather keep someone who had an original vision, no matter how bizarre or disturbing, than someone who makes a replica of a dress she saw in the dossier and refused to alter it despite being told by Tim Gunn many, many times that she was copying the Chloe dress. Isn’t part of the competition a test of your creativity? So in addition to a lack of technical skills, Marla lacks creativity too. What is she doing on this show?

    In addition, I didn’t really see what was so “tough” about Zulema’s dress. She kept going on about how “bad” it was going to be and how she wanted to make herself stand out. But in the end it was a rather ordinary looking black and white dress, which looked worse given the pastiness of the model’s skin. Like sg-dub alluded to in his first PR post, being the oldest of seven siblings has given Zulema a false sense of her own grandeur since she’s always had an audience for her delusions.

    Finally, anyone else think it was Andrae who said “Where the HELL is my chiffon?”

    aries, i agree re) Copycat Marla —she should’ve been let go rite thn & there. It annoyed me how she feigned surprise e’ry time Nicky Hilton pointed out that her dress looked like her Chloe dress (barely acknowledging T Gunn’s comment when the judges grilled her abt it).

    I don’t like Zulema or her designs either—since the start she’s got ths better-than-thou attitude, w/ nothing 2 support it. Her refusal to share some lousy closet space in the premiere episode really rubbed me the wrong way–she must’ve been hell on those 7 siblings!

    lastly, i still thnk it was Andrae who wondered abt his chiffon—it def’ly sounds like him, 2 high a voice 2 be Santino’s, i suspect it was a sound bite the Producers used fr. anthr episode perhaps 2 illustrate how the team was starting to get on ea. other’s nerves.

    oh—last nite’s episode, i won’t say much ’til it’s recapped, but i wish Chloe had gone w/ Nick!
