This season on Project Runway, people cried, bitched, sewed, cried, cried, and generally acted super gay. I wouldn't have had it any other other way. Drip.
Season 4, we love ya baby.
Welcome to the end, suckas! Christian opens the show by telling Rami how scared he is. He says it in a whiny voice, which frightens me. Christian, where'd you go? You're not scared! You're an arrogant little twerp who snaps his fingers at people and confidently uses homo jargon from the early nineties! Come back to me!
In the workroom, the three finalists unpack and get their stations ready. Well, that's what they're supposed to be doing. Rami and Christian spend most of their time eyeing each other's work coming out of the suitcases and pretending that they are just randomly looking around the room and wondering if anyone really wins a $10,000 shopping spree on Bluefly.com. I personally say no, it's a rip-off, but it might just be sour grapes because I haven't won and I play like every day. Whatevs.
Rami tells us that he can totally read the look of fear on Christian's face because, well, who knew Rami could make anything that didn't look like it was held together by safety pins and hot glue? Ooooh, Rami, you're brill. Christian's so scared. Actually, he is. What seems to be worrying him the most isn't that Rami and Jillian's lines will be great, it's that they might not think his line is great. Huh? Who the hell are you? Tell them both they suck and don't have a chance in hell and then skip out the door like you always do. I'm getting skerd. This newfound sensitivity is bad news.
No one's mentioned my hair.
Tim comes to check in with them and see if anyone even pretended to listen to his advice. He had told Jillian that her collection was looking dark and gloomy, so she added a black and white horizontally striped t shirt with sleeves made of severe yarn loops. EW. Congrats. It's not dark and gloomy. It's just gloomy. Whoever wears this shirt shouldn't ever pass anything with edges. Or leave their house. Rami stands and watches Tim critique her work and smiles that smug little smile that makes me want to smack him.
Yarn's for kittens, sucka.
Tim thinks that the piece doesn't fit what she's already got, but she's built up some mighty confidence since the good old days when she was a whispering bundle of nerves and decides to "let that piece sing with the rest of the chorus". Who talks like that? A holes, that's who. Anyway, it's a dumb point. One off key voice will kill a choir. I'm just saying.
Rami knows how to talk a good game. He tells Tim that he really did his best to take his advice even though he had already worked so hard and blahblahblah. He shows Gunn a really beautiful piece made with strips of antique lace which gets Tim off his ass. He says brilliant and moves on to Christian, who puts his tail between his legs, shivers, and pees a little on the floor. Tim slaps him and tells him to grow a pair.
What is that tattoo on Christian's arm. Is it a snake? An octopus? The villain from The Little Mermaid? Is it new? And if so, uh, why? It's a finale of questions. What is this, Lost?
I could use a flashback to the Christian before the island. This one's a little wuss. We already have one Jack.
Time for the designers to do their model casting. They get together and decide that this year they are going with big girls who have bright shiny personalities. LOL, could you imagine? Nope, the models are skinny hunched over girls who would greatly benefit from a glass of milk.
Osteoporosis and a starving African child pouch? You're hired!
Rami tells us that they are all casting the same models, but I think he just can't tell them apart. Model bigotry! He says that some are great, some are ok, and some are hit in the face with a frying pan. Cut to Ramona Quimby from the Beverly Cleary books.
Now you're messin' with my girl!
The next morning, the designers meet with Collier Strong to come up with a makeup design. Rami gets all deep about it and says he wants to chisel faces and emphasize shadows. Collier nods and smiles and puts some blush on the girl like "whatever you say, buddy."

Did you see that one of Jillian's models was Yentl? YAY!

I am pretty sure that one of Jillian's models was Jaslene from America's Next Top Model. I was glad that Christian won, but where did those feather pants go? I guess he listened to Tim on that one. I really liked Rami's outfits, the weaving was awesome, the colors did suck though and Jillian's line I didn't like at all. So it was between Rami and Christian for me. And when Christian won, I cryed a little too!!

Thanks for the recap. I enjoy your spin on the show (not to mention your clever and funny choice of words). The day before the Finale, there weren't many routing for Christian, but I see the wagon is FULL!! I have watched all 4 seasons and truly believe the talent (as a group) was the best. In addition, there was a lot more personality with this bunch. I hate the season is over and hope Christian doesn't fall into a black hole like other winners. Again, congratulations, Christian with your FIERCE A#$!!!

Awesome recap, Flipit! I LOLed at several points.
Did anyone fear that they were going to give it to Rami?? Ack. I was all ready to throw things & scream at the TV. Thank G*d. Now Christian can upgrade from a closet to a pantry, maybe.
In the end -- seeing it live (although I only watched it once), I really kind of liked Jillian's collection. She should have come in 2nd. I don't care what Jessica Alba says.
:) Love, Lime
P.S. We did tell you about Baldhawk, my man.

Lime23 - I also thought they were going to give it to Rami. When Christian's lip was quivering at the end it was so cute. I just wanted to give him a hug. I thought it was nice that he got nervous and tongue tied. I did think his final collection was repetitive of what he did all season, but I still think he deserved to win. I also think he was really lucky that Posh was the guest judge. I want to be friends with Christian!!

FYI...Christian's ink is a squid and has been there the entire season. It's perhaps more apparent due to his shrunken hair. Do you suppose he gave his extra hair to Chris???
7 of 17 | Posted by busterdog | Posted on March 7, 2008 9:20 AM
Christian wasn't my personal pick, but when I saw him living and working in that little cubbyhole, my heart went out to him, and I cheered him at the end. I am wondering about the squid, though -- is there some deep symbolism there, or was he just drunk?

OH Flipit...you are the best. I loved the recap...it was FIERCE...LOL
Christian so deserved to win. Until next season...

I love love loved this season. And I'm so happy Christian won. I did think they would give it to Rami and was screaming "nooo" at my tv. Thank god that didn't happen.
I think Christian is bound to be huge. He has amazing talent for being only 21 and has many many years ahead of him to perfect his style.

okay, I totally think Jillian and Rami were hooking up during the show. Anyone else with me?
I guess I'm glad Christian won...he really was uber-annoying, and he kinda made the same thing over and over, but he is talented.
and yes, featherhead, that WAS Jaslene.

I still think Chris would have won if he'd been in the top 3, but I'm glad it went to Christian, esp coz of the cubby hole apt! Didn't look like Jillian or Rami were hurting for cash . . . . and fycin--silly, Rami's gay like me, I don't think he was anything with Jillian but annoyed.
Christian will be the first winner hawking products that I might enjoy seeing . . .
With that smug little smile on Rami's face, I totally thought he was with me and some of you thinking he had the win. As I said earlier, I saw some misses in those collections, esp the riding pants lines. I also thought all the feather stuff was completely redonk! I was howling at them when I saw the stills, just goes to show what I know about fashion . . .
Over all, I had a majah good time with these recaps and all the comments!!!! Take care all, and maybe I'll see ya on the top chef caps!!!!

juddfan -- really? I thought at first he was gay too but there just seemed to be something else going on.... oh well, what do I know, maybe the accent threw me.

Just had to say goodbye Flipit. You are seriously funny and deserve to have your blogs turned in to a feature film just like Diablo Cody. Fingers crossed.
I'm glad Christian won, I guess. He is quite entertaining but a little bit sad. Like the strange boy everyone made fun of in high school and decides to just "fuck them all!" and become uber-queenie and mean- like "Mean Girls"! But God love him and I give him props for continuing to walk to the walk (literally- fierce!) and pursuing his dream.
Posh Spice is just bizarre looking. She doesn't smile because the entire top half of her face is frozen and if she moves too much all of the fill and implants will shift- no roller coasters for this girl, please! If you want some good Posh Spice bashing, watch any of the variety shows on BBC America. They hate her and it's funny. And a bit sad.

I was so glad that Christian won, the the effect that I was smiling the entire next day and still am!
He deserved to win, and is a prodigy. Plus, with all of his "fierce" and "fabulous", he seemed really genuine this last epi, and seems very grateful for the win in the post interviews!
Can't wait to see his collection in the fall!
15 of 17 | Posted by fnllover | Posted on March 10, 2008 11:22 AM
Hope it's not too crushing fycin, but yeah, he's a sister. Maybe Flip and I will do a secret mission to his studio, I heard on the pod cast it's near his house, so next time I go stalking, I'll knock . . . just kidding!!! I think somewhere it was even said he had a lover. And for the record, I only stalk Flip it here by reading and worshiping all his recaps! See ya on the 'gasm guys!

Hello to all. Did anyone see Christian on Ellen yesterday? He was his usual FIERCE self and indicated he already made a couple of outfits for Mrs Beckham. He also gave Ellen a sketch of a design (pants, of course) he made for her. She assured him if he made it, she would wear it. He said he was going to spend his money on a new collection for next year's Fashion Week. Let me know if anyone saw the show.
