Chloe Dao selling ugly crap on TV!

2008-04-17T12:51:29Z

I hope this isn't old news, but a few days ago I was channel hopping at night and saw Chloe selling some ugly baby doll shirts (that she designed) on QVC. I swear it was her.

I'm sure she sold a lot as she offered them in all sizes, but once a designer goes QVC they lose all credibility with me (i'm looking at you Michael Kors, Victor Costa and Randolph Duke).

fyi: Comme Des Garcons will be the next collaborative designer with H&M. It will launch at their second new store this November in Tokyo and launch a few days later around the world. This collection will include men/women, accessories as well as a unisex fragrance.

Project Runway Shocker
By Joal Ryan
Mon Apr 7, 7:33 AM PDT

No one said the fashion world was boring. In a major TV shakeup, Project Runway will say auf Wiedersehen to Bravo and jump to cable rival Lifetime, it was announced Monday.

NBC Universal, which owns Bravo, responded swiftly to the defection with a lawsuit, according to Lifetime and the Weinstein Co., which produces Project Runway. The suit was noted, if buried, in the two companies' joint press release trumpeting the programming coup.

Bravo did not immediately offer comment. In a statement, a spokesman for the Weinstein Co. called NBC's lawsuit "without merit."

As announced, Project Runway will strut on over to Lifetime in November for the launch of what the network said will be the show's sixth season. For those keeping count, the show's fourth season just concluded last month. Lifetime said its math wasn't in error, indicating a fifth Runway season will play out on Bravo between now and November.

Heidi Klum will continue as host; Tim Gunn will continue as mentor to the designers.

Klum and Gunn were both quoted in the release—Klum reminding that "fashion is about change," and Gunn dropping his catchphrase, à la "Lifetime and I will definitely 'make it work' together."

Deals with judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia haven't been closed yet, a Lifetime spokesman said.

It was unknown what effect, if any, the upheaval will have on Top Chef, another Bravo hit from the same production company, Magical Elves, as Project Runway, and Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, a makeover series that Bravo awarded Gunn last year. (Gunn might have answered the latter question himself, noting in his statement that he was "very excited to be part of the Lifetime family.)

Project Runway premiered on Bravo in 2005. Its just-concluded season scored the show's highest ratings yet, averaging 3.8 million viewers an episode.

The show has been nominated three straight years for the Reality-Competition Emmy (and, like so many others, lost all those years to The Amazing Race). Just last week, the series scored its top honor to date, when it was tapped for the prestigious Peabody Award.

http://tribes.tribe.net/interventiontv

Are you drawn like a moth to a flame or Catholic Priest to an underage penis to the sheer genius that is A&E Intervention?

This Tribe is for you.

I personally can't enough of the middle aged midwestern female hard core alcoholics and the church going meth addicts.

On the flip side; This show can often be inspiring and greatly moving. All around a reason to own a television and bother with a pesky cable bill... the one thats always rising.

Come Discuss your favorite episodes and addicts.... You love or hate for the interventionist.

Final Three

2008-02-12T05:35:11Z

So I know some of you have already made some predications, but I can't seem to find them...

My picks:

Christian
Jillian
and Chris, much to his surprise.

Sweet P is just not an option, too sloppy, unfinishes
Rami, could happen but I hope not, not enough diversity in his look.
And thank goodnes Ricky is finally gone

WWF divas

2008-02-12T01:41:46Z

Didnt like:

The designers were bitching ans whining about how "unfashion" this challenge was. I thought it was kind of fun, and kind of functional. Maybe thats why they had a problem, they couldnt think out of the "high fashion" box they designed themselves into.

Did like:
Them divas were * w-o-r-k-i-n-g i-t *on the runway! wow, thats how models should be! they had energy, were sexy, carried themselves with pride, even if they didnt like the outfit, and they all could have easily kicked my little ass. The "models" they have this season should have studied them so they could learn something.

Ricky is FINALLY outta here! Ahhh, relief.

Episode ? - Deniminimin (Spoilers)

2008-01-28T06:03:09Z

I was kind of glad Victoryahaha got auf'ed. That coat was really lame. I liked the concept of Jillian's coat, but the execution did come out kind of wrong. And it looked a lot like the coat they had just done in the previous challenge.

We thought Christian got robbed of the win, actually. But when that Levi's lady said the winning design was going to be sold as a limited edition then we understood why Christian couldn't have won (his outfit would've been too hard to produce). We were also surprised the judges liked Sweet P's dress.

I didn't really get the challenge at first because that lady was all "Make an iconic piece using the originality and creativity of Levi's 501 jeans" and I was all "what's so creative about jeans these days? jeans are jeans..." and Roommate was all "they just have to make something out of denim basically" and I was all "Ohhhh.... Why couldn't she just say that then?"

Episode ?: "A Night in Heaven"

2008-01-16T14:19:45Z

Ah, prom. I never went to mine, but took my best friend who went to the same school to hers a year after I gradiated. All the teachers said we looked like we stepped out of Vogue magazine, while all the girls there kept making faces at my friend. You know, the girls wearing ankle-length Southern Belle dresses from the '70s in 1991 in gross pastel yellows, blues, and pinks.

I didn't like any of the prom dresses, meaning for the first time this season I didn't even like what Kit sent down the runway. We decided that, given the opportunity, Rami will make the same dress every challenge. It's a nice dress, but it's the same one. Also, he had immunity this week and when they told him he was safe they didn't mention it, which was weird. I love that the one girl chose Victoryahahah because she was late and got last choice or whatever.

We were talking when Chris told his joke, so all I heard was "..... gay? Fags." What was the rest of the joke?

Apparently they took all that candy from last week's challenge and gave it to those girls at that NJ high school.... Is it me or are kids getting, um, weightier these days??It seemed like all but like three of them weren't overweight. Or maybe they picked bigger girls on purpose to make the challenge more difficult for the contestants. I like how Cristian was talking about giddy 17-year-old girls when that was him like two years ago. It was interesting that he and Kit were talking about the immaturity of teenage girls when they're the two youngest contestants. Cristian got a beast of a client to work with. We hope Madde watched that and got embarrassed for how she really appeared.

Victoria's Secretions

2008-01-07T00:36:17Z

I kept looking for Nina Garcia in the audience last night to see her make stinkface at that craptastic mess they sent down the runway. No wonder Heidi's judgings are skewed if she thinks the stuff in the VS "fashion show" is pretty....

It was a total trainwreck when she lipsynched that duet with Seal, too.

But we kept wondering where her accent went. On PR she sounds like her typical thick-accented Bavarian barmaid, but on VS last night she had no discernable accent. Where did it go? Adriana Lima had no accent whatsoever either, so we were wondering if they had someone overdub them?

Season 4 - Episode 1

2007-12-13T22:00:22Z

No surprise here.
That stupid tank dress was so ugly, and with that hideous cover up...man. She had to go.

And the blue dress with the retarded train? Come on. I understand the theory, but the execution was really bad.

I like the orange dress with the bubble skirt. I also thought the weird plaid jacket was made well, just an ugly fabric.

Funny how they were all proud that they were working with "$50,000 worth of fabric from MOOD" and a lot of the fabric was quite unsightly.

Episode 2

2007-12-04T21:28:32Z

We got to see little miss SJP. woo.

I went to a Steve and Barrys last week to check out her line. I like that the store keeps everything under $20...yet looks nice inside. They mostly sell basic items. But Im usually on the look out for clothing that sticks out more. I was disappointed at the lack of skirts for Bitten, since I only wear skirts, I was bummed. There were nice blazers in Bitten, but overall I wanted something more. Still, I bought a few things.

So, with this challenge, I wasnt suprised that the outfits weren't that special, they were keeping in with the line.

- Spit Mark - Im not sure what to think about that. Sure its gross, but is it? Yeah, kind of gross...mostly weird.

And I cant stand what won. I would NEVER buy anything like that. Too bad. It looks like a big eggplant-colored tent. And I thought that vest was kind of stupid looking, I dont get why someone would wear a vest like that.

I suppose I liked the spitted on dress the best, but I liked the cape, I thought it was kind of cool.

And pip-squeek (Christian)...HA! that cocky s.o.b. got his this time. Yeah, that outfit looked like the stepped out of a Delorean time machine coming from the 80s.

season 4 ep 3

2007-12-04T19:26:01Z

So they got to dress a (ex-)baller!

So many of the designers had minimal (at best) exposure to menswear prior to this, which can only make me ask... are we supposed to just do hefty bags or some such mess while the ladies have all the fun?

Core competencies (or the lack thereof) will win or lose most challenges. Menswear, frankly, is not a core competency of much of this contestant pool - and it showed (Carmen's shirt-that-wasn't was just the most glaring example ...of a bunch of glaring examples!).

But I am just in the funkiest funk ever this morning.

It started when I heard about Luciano Pavorotti's death.

I believe that there are people in this world who are candles and that they remind us constantly not of the hatred and ugliness in our humanity...but in our goodness, beauty, and love.

Luciano was one of those candles to me. Every time I hear Nessun Dorma I cry...perhaps the most beautiful sound my ears have ever heard.

Anyway...I know I'm being kinda pathetic. I just feel so damn sad.

has anyone seen this about Jeffrey yet?

2007-07-23T15:53:35Z

Project Runway 3 winner Jeffrey Sebelia may be “totally broke,” he says, but he’s also working on Paula Abdul’s forthcoming movie, a live-action version of the Bratz dolls franchise.
Even after receiving the show’s $100,000 prize, “The truth is, I’m totally broke,” he tells New York Magazine. That’s a result of paying off debt related to his Cosa Nostra label. Trying to find $3 to pay for parking, he told the interviewer, “I’m just so tired of haggling. I mean, this is not a big deal, I’m just so tired of it.”
At least one of his friends doesn’t appreciate the dilemma. Giving Jeffrey the finger, a friend Jeffrey ran into on the street said, “Where the hell have you been? Just getting richer?”
Since the show, Jeffrey “has more or less fallen out of touch with the judges and producers,” the magazine reports, and the “mentorship with Macy’s that was meant to be a part of the Project Runway prize was slow to begin.”
However, he does have wok. “I’m almost afraid to admit what I’m doing, but it’s costumes for a movie. It’s a live-action movie for the Bratz. Yeah, those slutty dolls,” he said. That movie is being executive produced by American Idol judge Paula Abdul, whose work on the film will be chronicled in her new reality series.
Paula Abdul and Bratz are all his fame has really bought him. “It’s things like the Bratz movie that are really interested in having someone who won Project Runway attached to their show. Most of the companies I’d like to be involved with really couldn’t give a shit that I was on TV,” he said.

The Headmaster of Fashion

2007-04-20T03:20:40Z

By ERIC WILSON
A deceptively sweet-looking Daniel Vosovic arched a dark brow beneath his willfully tousled curls, turned to the man seated to his right and cut straight to the bone.

“If you ever send an e-mail to me and sign it, ‘Best wishes,’ I’ll know you’re just trying to pacify me,” he said with a mocking tone that had the effect of a match dropped on kindling. Tim Gunn’s face turned as red as Laura Bennett’s hair.

This happened on Saturday morning in a Midtown hotel during tryouts for “Project Runway,” the Bravo reality series about dueling designers on which the meticulously unflappable Mr. Gunn serves as mentor, moral guide and cautionary sounding board to a cast of generally flailing contestants, like the fecund Ms. Bennett from the third season.

Mr. Vosovic, a second-season runner-up who was helping assess the incoming class of the fourth season, teased Mr. Gunn between his candy-coated send-off of the 20th applicant, a huffy Russian named Vladimir, and his abrupt dismissal of Rebecca, a substitute teacher with unnaturally red hair who described her work as “a combination of Martha Stewart and Tim Burton.”

Rejection is an art best crafted by experience. Mr. Gunn is the Michelangelo of the form. Here, a sampling of his words to a series of washouts:

“I don’t think you have the depth of experience yet. In fact, I know it.”

“This really is not what we’re looking for.”

“I appreciate what you’re trying to do. Do I love it? No.”

“We’re going to pass. Best wishes.”

Viewers of “Project Runway,” not to mention alumni of Parsons the New School for Design, where he was long a faculty member, will have no difficulty summoning up the posh, lilting voice of Mr. Gunn, who has been parodied on late-night television for the softly scolding undertones of intellectual feyness in his delivery of the word “designers.”

Ashleigh Verrier, a 2004 Parsons graduate, said that Mr. Gunn’s mannerisms are so ingrained in her mind that “I can still hear him saying, whenever I drape a piece: ‘Well, can she walk in it? Can she hail a taxi?’ ” Former students speak of Mr. Gunn as if he were Miss Jean Brodie or Mark Thackeray in a more expensive suit.

“I believe from a historical standpoint, Tim is going to go down as someone who brought fashion to an academic level and culturally put it on the map,” Ms. Verrier said.

As an academic whose role was intended to lend an air of dignity to a show about making stars of untested designers, Mr. Gunn, 53, was an unlikely candidate for breakout celebrity on “Project Runway.” Yet he has struck a chord with young people who admire his buttoned-up demeanor and the way he treats designers: as if he were a principal. Mr. Gunn, who until last month was the chairman of the Parsons fashion department, is the foil for all their flamboyance and inexperience.

His success has surpassed that of any of the winners of the show. Bravo has announced plans for a spinoff called “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style,” which is pegged to an actual guide Mr. Gunn wrote with Kate Moloney, an assistant chairwoman of fashion design at Parsons, published by Abrams Image.

And last month, Mr. Gunn was lured away from Parsons, where he began working as an admissions director in 1983, to become chief creative officer of Liz Claiborne Inc., one of the nation’s largest apparel companies. At the executive level, Mr. Gunn will serve as a voice for the roughly 350 designers employed by Claiborne’s 45 brands, a role the company has likened to a creative dean.

And he will continue to appear on “Project Runway,” which will return late this year.

With the show’s popularity, Mr. Gunn changed fashion in an abstract way, making it more appealing as a career to a generation of young people who see design as a ticket to celebrity, reflected in a flood of applications to design schools across the country.

Talking to Larry King in August, Mr. Gunn described the show’s appeal: “Fashion is so fully embedded in our culture today that there are mythologies about it. And if anything, this show demystifies much of that and really makes fashion very, very accessible to the public at large.”

Now, at Claiborne, Mr. Gunn is attempting a more concrete real-world makeover: to bring a sense of excitement about fashion to a corporate culture known for blandness and to effect a change in the perception of its brands, from outdated to fashionable.

Can Mr. Gunn, in his words, make it work?

IT’S a huge learning curve for me,” Mr. Gunn said last week at the company’s offices in the garment center, across Seventh Avenue from Parsons. “I’ve been living in a rarefied bubble, really, for a total of 29 years. Because we were dealing with theory, we could write our own scenarios, where nothing ever fails and nothing is ever lost in the shipping process. It’s a very different universe.”

His role at Liz Claiborne is a new one for the company, part of a mandate by Bill McComb, the chief executive, to foster an image of “irresistible product,” even if that requires raising some prices. The implication is that the company, which like many large, publicly traded apparel businesses, places a premium on financial performance, also recognizes the value of design.

And Liz Claiborne is in need of a face-lift. Profits at the $5 billion company dropped considerably last year, by about 20 percent. Mr. McComb, who joined Claiborne in October, said there was a feeling internally, among designers, that the company had become too numbers-oriented. He thought that Mr. Gunn would inspire them, as he does on the show, to take creative risks.

“If dollars and cents drive your design, you risk becoming a commodity line,” Mr. McComb said. “And that’s the death of a fashion business.”

Mr. Gunn, in a black pinstripe suit one day and a black turtleneck under a black leather blazer the next, may be well suited for the job. At Parsons, he revitalized a fashion curriculum that had not changed since 1952. He introduced students to critical thinking, fashion history and the realities of commercial business. He made the school’s annual runway show more competitive for seniors by presenting only the best collections, which had an unexpected result of making instant stars of its top graduates: Ms. Verrier, Chris Benz and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler.

On the other hand, Mr. Gunn has faced criticism from some students about changes they perceive as encouraging those who fit an idealized, or commercialized, image of successful designers over independent, freewheeling thinkers.

Moreover, “Project Runway” has drawn complaints for trivializing the profession. Stan Herman, the designer, speaking on the industry last month at a panel organized by the Fashion Institute of Technology, said, “It needs to be taken with a grain of salt because there are many kids who don’t know anything else about fashion besides ‘Project Runway.’ ”

Mr. Herman later said that the show has had a positive effect on enrollment in design schools and credited Mr. Gunn with presenting a balanced picture of the business. But he was concerned, he said, about the show’s track record of producing more celebrities than successful designers.

“We are living in an era of instant gratification, and the show is built on that premise,” he said. “The fact is that fashion is an art form or a form of commercial art that takes years and years of development. I find when they just use personalities, they miss a lot of the hard work that goes into our industry.”

Since casting began in Los Angeles last month, Mr. Gunn has been insulted by rejected applicants and questioned about the future of the show after poor turnouts there on some days. Last year he sparred in the press with Jay McCarroll, the first winner, who was irritated by Mr. Gunn’s criticism of his slowness in starting a post-“Runway” career. Other contestants are quick to defend Mr. Gunn as supportive of the development of designers’ careers.

“He will be to Liz Claiborne what Anna Wintour is to Bernard Arnault,” said Emmett McCarthy, a second-season contestant, referring to the advisory relationship the Vogue editor has with Mr. Arnault, the chief executive of LVMH.

Mr. Gunn seems unfazed by his celebrity or the backbiting that ensued. People might assume that “Project Runway” had a halo effect on his personal fortunes, but he said this was not the case. “I couldn’t be any more single,” he said. At least he was able to afford a new rental apartment in Manhattan, in London Terrace, where he was on a waiting list for nine months.

“For the first time in my life I have a grown-up apartment,” he said. “There’s a closet in the bedroom!”

Even confidence came to him slowly, as an art student at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington and later as a teacher there.

He had been an unhappy child, introverted, a stutterer, spending sunny days in his room reading books, practicing the piano, playing with Legos, idolizing mad King Ludwig II, who spent his spare time designing castles. He was the last one chosen during mandatory team sports — a disappointment to his tight-lipped father, George William Gunn, an assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who served as the ghostwriter of J. Edgar Hoover. (His mother, Nancy, helped establish the library of the Central Intelligence Agency. His great-grandfather Harry Wardman was a builder of row houses and hotels in Washington.)

“I was the one they called the horrible slurs that ended up being prophetic,” Mr. Gunn said. “Little did I know.”

Between the ages of 12 and 20, he was enrolled in no less than a dozen schools — not for academic reasons, but because he could not handle the social interaction. In college, he discovered his passion for design. The assemblage work of the sculptor Joseph Cornell held a particular sway over Mr. Gunn, who was attracted to the neat boxes of photographs and the surprising juxtapositions.

“I thought there must be a way of synthesizing all the different parts of my life in my own way,” Mr. Gunn said. “I really think it was Cornell who caused me to have the confidence to say I’m going to be an artist.”

But his epiphany came, oddly enough, at a moment when he was faced with rejection, and what would seem in retrospect to be one of many prophetic moments. An artist looked at his student work at Corcoran and told him, “I’d rather look at the space this work displaces than look at this work.” Best wishes.

As we know, Mr. Gunn did not become a great sculptor.

Has anyone seen this about Zulema yet?

2007-04-04T01:15:07Z

I've finally been catching up on like a year's worth of my gay rags recently, and last June in the Advocate there was a mini interview with Zulema (from season 2) and she's a lezzie. Who knew? She basically said in the interview that she never hid it from anyone and the producers chose to edit it out of the whole season. She also said that Nick has a boyfriend, or had one during the taping. She says that the editors left a lot of stuff out that made her look like less of a bitch and after she watched the first episode when it aired the producers wanted to know what she thought of herself on the show and she told them they were editing her to look like a villain and she wasn't happy and then never talked to the producers again after that call. She says if people who watch the show are dumb enough to believe that she's this uber-diva bitchy villain then that's more of the viewer's stupidity than the editing tricks. (She says she knows people who edit reality shows so she knew what to expect, and that she's not angry or upset about how she was edited on the show). cc: Santino, Jeffrey

Random PR stuff

2007-03-01T01:53:28Z

i liked Allison a lot when she was on the show and was sad when she got booted early for whatever reason (poor designs or Heidi didn't like her), but i have to say her line called Dahl that is debuting now at www.shopbop.com is very uninspiring. there is one white dress that is sexy but the rest is boring!

Kara Janx continues to show the same dress season after season at ravinstyle.com! good grief, can someone please introduce her to some new patterns. she did some styling of outfits with other designers stuff for the sight that was halfway good.

while watching The Hills on MTV, two episodes ago, Lauren (our lead character) was in class (she goes to FDIM) and guess who is her teacher? Nick!

Is Tim leaving PR?

2007-02-23T17:06:41Z

i was reading the new issue of Entertainment Magazine (or i think the title is Entertainment Weekly magazine, anyways.....), there's an article about Tim Gunn and how he is the only one whose contract for next season has not been finalized (Nina, and Michael are definitely coming back).

He says his job at Parson's is actually his real job that pays his bills (there's speculation he's holding out for more money, cause it seems he is the most popular one on the show, more so than Heidi). If they wait for Tim, then they have to wait for the school season to be over which is 7 months, if they don't then they can start filming right away.

if Tim had to be replaced who do you think would make a good replacement? Some ideas they gave were Elsa Klench or Simon Doonan.

Jay McCarroll and Tim Gunn Still Have Beef
Jay McCarroll is not one to hold back.
Photo: Patrick McMullan
Jay McCarroll is lying low this Fashion Week. His first collection, which debuted in the fall, will be released next month by Urban Outfitters. What's next? Certainly not a reunion with Tim Gunn. We talked to McCarroll at the Gen Art fashion showcase, where he took the opportunity to get his feelings about the Project Runway host off his chest.

Your spring 2007 show was great.
Yeah. I thought it was good. No one fucking said anything.

Is it going to be like “Jay McCarroll for Urban Outfitters?” Or a more low-profile type thing?
It’s just me selling my stuff to them. It’s my name. I’m excited. Production’s a huge issue. It’ll be stuff I showed for spring 2007. I just need to make some money!

Will you show for spring 2008?
Maybe I’ll do it again, maybe I won’t. I’m still trying to sort it out. Fashion is a very limited thing, and I want to do other projects that might be different. Housewares maybe. Or children’s fashion. Or art. Or performance.

What sort of art would you experiment with?
I guess like fiber art. I also love performance art. Like pretending I’m a retard. I know that’s wrong. Like mentally challenged. Fashion’s expensive. In case you didn’t know that. Like to produce. Thousands and thousands of dollars.

I spoke to Tim Gunn this morning. Are you two in touch at all?
No! Why? Did you ask him?

Yeah. He said he’d love to be in touch if you’re willing to talk.
It’s tough because he talked so much shit about me in the past. And it’s hard when you’re trying to figure your business out. It’s fine. Power to him. He’s having his heyday, but I also don’t think he’s an authority on any designer’s life. He went to school for sculpture or something. I don’t think that he’s ever, to my knowledge, started a fashion line and therefore should not be the adviser or the fuckin’ creative director … how dare you pretend to know what I should be doing with my company? It’s none of your business, dude — you’ve never started a fashion line. You’ve never initiated showing at Bryant Park on your own so don’t tell me what my time line is to show at fuckin’ Bryant Park.

He doesn’t know what I want to do. Maybe I want to fuckin’ take a piss off the Empire State Building and call it fashion. But that’s my fuckin’ prerogative. I just hate that because middle America looks at him like, He’s so nice, he’s like a father to them. On the show he was, sure. I’m not bitter about the man. It’s kind of hurtful. At one point he said I was an embarrassment because I didn’t show yet. And it’s like, fuckin’-A, man. Maybe next season they can make Tim Gunn show a line. Five months. We’ll see how good it is. But don’t worry. I’ll be fine. — Rachel Wolff

From Celebrity Baby Blog (JMO, but those names sure don't sound great with Shelton).

Yes, for real this time! Laura Bennett, 43, welcomed son Finn on Friday, December 1st, two weeks and two days past her due date of November 15th. The little guy was born at 10:46 am and weighed in at 8 lbs and is, according to Laura, "so cute."

This is the fifth son for Laura and her husband Peter Shelton, 55. Finn joins older half sister Cleo, 18, from Laura's first marriage, and brothers Peik, 10, Truman, 7, Pierson, 4, and Larson, 3.

About Laura's Baby shower

2006-12-04T20:01:03Z

From Celebrity Baby blog:

Project Runway finalist Laura Bennett's baby shower on November 14th and the guys at Project Rungay were invited! The shower took place at the Upper East Side townhouse of one of Laura's friends and the guests were, as the Project Rungay guys put it, "a roomful of Manhattan Power Bitches" (said in the most respectful way). The theme was Laura, of course, with guests donning black dresses and red wigs.

Here is Laura showing off one of her gifts- a temporary tattoo with all of her children's names on it, a la Jeffrey Sebelia's neck tattoo. Her children include Cleo, 18, from Laura's first marriage, Peik, 10, Truman, 7 (who went unnamed until he was named by others at a cocktail party at 3 months old - they called him 'the baby' before!), Pierson, 4, and Larson, 3. Her sixth child (and fifth son) was due November 15

Vote up to 20 times...
Vote for my friend Jeffrey Sebelia,
If you've been swayed by the editing of this complex man,
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!
Jeff's the real deal and I'm in 100% support of him.
Show Jeffrey some love!
Click the link below:
Much Love,
SANTINO

P.S. Also repost this as many times as you see fit. I'd love to see everyone vote for Jeffrey and see if this "Fan Favorite" contest, isn't full of shit!

P.P.S. Jeffrey is Jeffrey, Santino is Santino. Jeffrey is not this season's Santino. Or trying to be anything other than himself. McQueen is not trying to be Westwood.... Comparing Galliano to Gaultier? Yes, the more you study designers with more directional points of view, the more you will realize there are similarities.
However, to compare us shows one's inexperience with designers or artists. In many ways Jeffrey and I couldn't be more different. Comparing us, as Heidi did in the first episode just shows her ignorance. ( I often wonder if she knows what she's looking at, ever?) Unfortunately, I received too many comments already, that reitterate Heidi's sentiments. Jeffrey is as passionate as I am about creating HIS idea of beauty. RESPECT IS MUTUAL.

vote here!

Final Four Betting Pool

2006-09-18T22:39:04Z

With eight contestants left I think it's a good time to start the final four predictions (I think it's 50/50 at this point, but something in the back of my head from statistics class in college tells me the odds are much lower)

1. Vincent
2. Michael
3. Uli
4. Lau-rider

I hate to say it, but Vincent is my strongest pick for final four. I assume he's the "villain" they keep talking about now that Keith was booted for cheating. Jeffrey would be my #5, but I think they learned with Santino.

I just caught up by watching 4 epi's of PR...

2006-09-14T23:45:13Z

and ow! my head and my eyes hurt. Especially after having to see Vincent get booted only to re-appear again.
I thought I might throw up a little so I had a bucket next to me.

It seems that Lau-rider's emo was rubbing off on me b/c I almost cried when she won. How did she get so pregnant throughout the last three epi's? Didn't they shoot this all in about 5 weeks?

at this point in the show, who is auf'ed and who wins is not even predictable.

OK, she hadn't posted this here, and it's EXCELLENT!

Vicki says, "We're having fun trying to mimic each episode, then voting for a winner. We all have the same dollar store doll to work with, a $3 spending limit and 2 hour time limit."

Check it!

So Warner released the official movie trailer for the We Are Marshall film I had told you guys about.

My house is in it! If you look at the first scene with Matt McC where he walks out onto a sidewalk in a white t-shirt...look at the very back of the shot....red brick two story...MY HOUSE! :)

I'm such a dork...I cried just watching this stupid trailer. (not because my house is in it)
