Hey Gasmii! Here we are, after trudging through the “Teams” season. This selection of episodes will go down in Project Runway history as one of the worst experiments the producers ever tried. It stifled the designers’ creativity while simultaneously creating drama, unnecessary because said drama would have happened anyway. This was the season of saying [...]

Hey Gasmii! I have to be honest: I thought this week was the season finale. I wrote this long, beautiful paragraph summarizing all the things about this season that we loved and hated, but then realized soon enough that we have one more week of this to get through. Guess I’ll just save it and [...]

Hey Gasmii! Last week, the designers got to work on their own; well, except that they had former-contestant “sewing assistants” that worked out well for some, not so well for others. No one was eliminated, and we were left on a cliffhanger as to whether or not Michelle would have the ability to save herself [...]

Hey Gasmii! We’ve made it so far in this hot mess of a bad idea of a group season. (BTW, thanks for putting “hot mess” into the lexicon, Christian Siriano. There’s now even a burger at Jack in the Box called the Hot Mess Burger. At least Project Runway can truthfully claim that it’s had [...]

Hey Gasmii! This week’s episode has male strippers in it! So let’s get down to it! (See what I did there?) Last week: The designtestants lived through a nightmare we all have, that we would have to go back to school. And get judged by the mean girls. They made prom dresses out of Duck [...]

Hey Gasmii! Last week was just awful, wasn’t it? If you follow this show, you just always know that when the designers have to make something for a real person, it isn’t going to be so great, but OH, THE HUMANITY! I mean… I’m not even going to bother briefly reviewing what happened, because I [...]

Howard, Howie, Mel B, and now Heidi

Hey Gasmii! It’s Season 11, and we have 11 designtestants still remaining, which seems like a good excuse to write this recap fueled by pinot grigio. (At least, it’s the best excuse I can come up with, because I am already fueled by pinot grigio, so.)  Last week: The teams were dissolved in favor of [...]

Hey Gasmii! Since we left off last week, I have to make one teeny tiny little concession: Joseph is not just a cat sweater guy. He tweeted me (So exciting, this newfangled technology!) to make sure I knew that he wasn’t just a cat sweater guy, and some of his stuff is actually really cute! [...]

Hey Gasmii! I’m Dashley, and I’m so excited to be bringing you the Project Runway recaps this season. I was so honored when Flipit asked me to write them, and not a moment too soon, because we need to talk about this:  Who wouldn’t want to see what THIS guy would design? So let’s get [...]

***I am not planning on video recapping this season, but MrsMiaWallace is out of town so I stepped in with a vid. Hope you like!  This week on Project Runway, Tim and Heidi are back with a pack of crazies and this time they’re gonna have to work in teams. Finally, a season where murder [...]

  “You call these All-Stars?” Hola Gasmii!!!! Well, I hope you’re enjoying the vblogs Flipit provides and appreciating not having to double down on a MrsMia sense of humor per episode, which is a win win! Last week was the Disco Infernal, and all that happened is that no one knew what Disco was, which [...]

“Later, suckers!“ Hola Gasmii! I’m back! After no hiatus whatsoever, Lifetime is shoving the All-Stars season down our throats! I’m guessing after a refreshingly interesting and talented Season 10, they figured they should keep the music playing before our couches lost that familiar indentation on Thursday nights. Which means, open wide Gasmii, here comes MrsMiaWallace! [...]

And the womenfolk rejoiced Hola Gasmii!!! Finally final Finale! This has been a long strange season but overall I’m very glad to have dropped into this one to recap. The talent was high and I greatly appreciate the backstory some commenters have supplied about Lifetime having a smaller budget and shorter time constraints than Bravo [...]

Even ugly clothes don’t ruin gorgeous Hola Gasmii!!! It’s finally here! Finale time and not a millennium too soon! The group is reeling from the all-around tongue lashing received from the judges on their collection sneak peeks. Some of the criticism was helpful and well-placed, some was too little too late, but all four of [...]

Look who has all the roses Hola Gasmii!!! It’s the beginning of the end. Alas! At last! Atlas? Last week we had an Advant Garde disappointment when every designer put out a rather lackluster attempt. Maybe they are all tired or maybe the talent level was never quite there to begin with, but either way [...]

Some people’s roots are deeper than others Hola Gasmii!! It’s home visit time!!! We pared the crowd down to four and guess what? Even those four aren’t guaranteed a spot! It’s a good thing I’ve seen this before or I’d be so shocked that I might drop my glass of Port! No I wouldn’t Tim [...]

I can read this horse’s mind Hola Gasmii!! Last week on Project Runway, fatcamp tried to steal my job, Heidi jumped on the “let’s turn this episode into a commercial!” bandwagon and Nina Garci was treated to a buffet of chubby pink cheeks. We lost our eastern block sex trafficking poster child, the manic-depressive Elena, [...]

Heidi’s idea of Avant Garde = Spider Crotch + Bubblegum Wings Hola Gasmii!!! I am back and newly freckle-bespeckled and happy to see my old friends Tim Gunn and Dmitry and most of all sweet TVGasm again! Many thanks to a hilarious recap by Fatcamp!!! I will now stop taking vacations lest my job is [...]

Sometimes a Kiss-Off can be so sweet Hola Gasmii!!! We are back for another exciting rendition of Emerging Eastern Block Darlings! Er, Project Runway! No one from Russia was actually harmed in this hearting Last week we lost the very outspoken and surprisingly uneven, Skunk. Just like his hair foretold, there were two sides to [...]

“I can see Dmitry’s heritage from my house!” Hola Gasmii!!! I have been celebrating my 107th birthday for about two weeks at this point so please hang in there if things start to get a little weird… Thanks for all the kind Birthday wishes and I hope you enjoyed a little slice of the Flip [...]

Heidi’s Heritage Hola Gasmii! I am back, under protest, after sunning and swimming and inhaling Mai Tais for a week. Good thing Kors’ orange glow can remind me of the spectacular, if less flabby, sunsets I left behind. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!!! And you’re welcome for having Flipit fill in!!! You owe me [...]

Four way monkey Hola Gasmii!!! I hope you had a very safe and very fun Labor Day weekend. MrWallace and I went boating and brain cell hunting. We ended up bagging quite a few, which is quite a feat considering they are nearing endangered status at this point. Last week was a classic PR standby [...]

As Commercial as Apple Pie     Hola Gasmii! First up, thank you all for the Tim Gunn/Dmitry hottub drenching suggestions! Commenter LAC’s lavender honey is the hands-down winner for Tim Gunn. I think that actually describes how he smells as it is. For Dmitry we have some wonderful suggestions that I cannot begin to [...]

Real Heidi Hola Gasmii! As much as I care about how fantastic your weekends were, I care so much more about this Manna from Recapper Heaven episode, so here we go! Last time on Project Runway, we forced all the designers into two teams for a collection challenge and learned: Elena is a wild animal [...]

Seals have terrible aim Hola Gasmii! Time for one of my favorite challenges!!! REAL FATTIES OF THE RUNWAY! Apparently people like Andy Warhol enough that Heidi found 10 women who were willing to have their bodies mocked, as well as take a backhanded compliment from a loved one; all on national TV! “It puts the [...]

I love you Selma. Hola Gasmii! I hope this weekend you went to at least as many drag shows as I did! Now let’s talk about the greatest drag show of all – Project Runway. OK, so it’s more about women being dressed up as badly dressed women. It’s still a spectacle! Last week was [...]

  Happy Friday Gasmii! This week’s Project Runway is a goldmine! I can’t wait to dive deep, but first I’ll tease you a little!  Said the Actress to the Bishop. My favorite thing happened this week- a team challenge! I love nothing more than high-strung creative young people forced to cooperate, compromise and coalesce, it [...]

See ya Granny Hello Gasmii! I hope your weekends have been fantabulous, swimming and sunning and playing hopscotch in weather like the glorious days we’ve had on the east coast. But enough about you, let’s discuss Project Runway! Last week we had an all-knowing Lexus choose the challenge and it matched designers from today with [...]

Quitters Never Prosper Hola Gasmii! We have the long-awaited quitter’s episode! We start by finding that Grandma has disappeared!!! At first everyone assumed she was aimlessly wandering around the park feeding the birds and telling people to pull up their pants. “Damn hippies” But no! She is really gone according to a vague statement from [...]

Hola Gasmii! I spent the weekend at the beach having a fabulous time so I might come off as kind and charitable to designers, but please don’t worry. The snark will return faster than my usual ghostly pallor. Last time we had Unusual Materials and Blorpheus the Discontented FINALLY was recognized as the best designer [...]

Two Thumbs Don Gasmii! Welcome back! This week PR resolves to reveal me as a fraud and make you all hate me! Since this is the mini-cap you wouldn’t notice as much but I might as well come clean: I am a fair-weather PR fan. The shame That’s right, when PR left the tawdry Rainbow [...]

Lumberjack Surprise Welcome Gasmii! We are on to the second episode of Project Runway! Last week we had Christopher the Meek rightfully win for a kick-ass gown and Beatrice the non-sewer expelled for making sweatpants shirtdresses. Also Fat Morpheus came in second for constructing a complicated and beautiful rose-inspired blouse but then pairing it with [...]

Hola Gasmii! Welcome to the Candy Factory! We are treated this week to a classic and beloved (at least by me) format of forcing designers to use non-materials to construct clothes. This week it’s the candy challenge which can only mean one thing – lots of glue guns! Also we know the contestants will envision [...]

Welcome Gasmii! Today’s recap will be slightly different in that 1- it’s late and 2- It isn’t chronological as I will take the time before full-blown drama to do contestant intros. As a disclaimer- I love fashion and am a self-described Clothes Horse, but I have no idea how to sew, what the rules of design [...]

It’s true

Miss Trini’s line is inspired by her dead brother, which makes me wonder if he passed away from being unprepared.

The first part of the finale does great things to Jersey Chore’s face.

Blow don’t sew.

The same challenge as last week, but without fat people.
