POSTS TAGGED: project runway

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 [...]

Tonight’s Top 10 Shows for Thursday October 18th

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 [...]

Tonight’s Top 10 Shows for Thursday October 11th

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 [...]

The top 10 shows on TV tonight for Thursday September 27th

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 [...]

Flipit returns to Project Runway for a day.

Thursday, September 6 The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, on this date in 1620. America’s Got Talent (NBC 8pm) The judges reveal the Top Six; Train performs. Here’s hoping Pat Monahan keeps his “untrimmed chest” well and truly covered during his band’s performance, but his predilection for deep-V shirts makes this an unlikely prospect. [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, August 30 “I can visit your Sydney, or your Melbourne, but I am not welcome in your bush.” The city of Melbourne turns 177 today. The Economist Group’s Intelligence Unit has named it “the world’s most livable city” for the past two years, so let’s not all ruin that by moving there at once. [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, August 23 William Wallace was executed on this date in 1305. Killed as a traitor to the British crown (which he refused to recognize, as you may remember from Braveheart, although the other 99% of that movie was made up,) Wallace was hanged, drawn, and quartered, a punishment that wasn’t officially en vogue as [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, August 9 Olympic Fun Fact: Historically, the host cities of the Olympic Games tend to win more medals during their hosting year than they have in the Games four years prior (for example, Great Britain’s 146 medals won during the 1908 London Olympics as opposed to their 2 medals during the 1904 Olympics in [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, August 2 Olympic Fun Fact: My grandfather (GrandadBint) received a gold medal at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. He was not an athlete; as an engineer for IBM, GrandadBint was instrumental in developing a program that was used in collecting and figuring scores for the competitors as the Olympic Games began [...]

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 [...]

Thursday, July 26 On this date in 1953, approximately 100 Arizona police officers and National Guard soldiers raided a polygamous community in Short Creek, Arizona. The entire community was taken into custody, and 263 children were taken from their parents. Some children were eventually returned to their parents, but several were not. While Arizona governor [...]

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 [...]

Welcome to the new season of Project Runway!!! It’s hard to believe it has already been 10 seasons and 10 years of questionable fashion and breakdowns and meltdowns. It feels like only yesterday I was wondering, “Where’s Andre?” This is the correct answer I am proud to follow in Flipit’s hilarious footsteps and I hope [...]

Thursday, July 19 The Great Fire of Rome began on this date in the year 64 A.D. While the actual cause still remains a mystery, historians can agree that Nero did not “fiddle while Rome burned” as he was in Antium, approximately 30 miles away. Duets (ABC 8pm) After a final performance from contestants and [...]

  We are down to the Final Six contestants.  Gangster Anne Burrell, Nikki, Ippy with his hair in a lovely chignon with a bump-it, Yvan, Vampoor and Martie.   The Family Von Trapp Justin comments that, as crazy as it sounds,  he and Martie are, kind of, “BFF’s.”  Aww, that’s kind of cute. I know [...]
