Booooo

Such a shame... by now, this blog should have been filled with half a season's recaps of Project Runway. The continued legal wrangling between Lifetime and Bravo has kept the new season from airing - even at the finale show, the three collections had to be identified by number only.

Come onnn, this is bollocks!

Anyway, make sure you're caught up with the latest Project Runway news by checking Project Rungay, my favorite PR blog.

What Kind of Fuckery is This?

Local supermarket pharmacy ad, for free antibiotics: "You didn't pay for the germs, why pay for the antibiotics?" Uh? I didn't pay for my headache, is my Excedrin free too?

Happy Birthday Dlisted!

It's Dlisted's fourth birthday today!

I only discovered the site a year or so ago, and immediately fell in love. I'm not articulate enough today to convey the power of Michael K's talent for amusement (fecking headache), so just go check it out.

Breaking the Cute-O-Meter

I heard that Zooey Deschanel and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard are engaged, and immediately decided that they are the best couple ever. Just this side of nauseatingly indie-cute. In fact, I went in search of photos of them together and could only find this not-great shot...



... and I'm certain that it's because one camera lens could not handle their awesomeness all at once. These two are officially my favorite couple in the Universe.

In my search for photos I discovered that apparently this pairing is a big huge hairy deal to the IndieKids(tm) and there's some fucking controversy about it or whatever. Hello, how are these two adorables together anything but perfect? I'm not a particular fan of either of them - though Death Cab has some of the sweetest, catchiest shit going (I think it's scientifically engineered to be completely appealing or something) so I don't have any kind of emotional stake in the matter. It's just SO EFFING CUTE I can't stand it! You know they're going to have a totally adorable indie-kid wedding and I can't wait to see the pics.

Now I'm all in a good mood and shit. Damn! Okay, I'll think about that time I was on a Song flight and wanted to listen to some music so I found a Death Cab album on the TV thingy, and was psyched because I'd liked the one song I'd heard, but it was an older album and there was NO FUCKING BEAT ANYWHERE. It was that atmospheric pussy indie crap that I try hard to like, because I have friends who like it, but it's just so snooze-inducing. Give me some DRUMS for god's sake.

Okay, I'm back to being nice and grumpy now. Hooray!

Happy Inauguration Day!

Welcome to the White House, Barack & family!

I wonder how long it will take Firefox to update its spellchecker to stop underlining "Barack?"

Wheee!

Yo, Bitches!

Well fuck me, it's been five weeks since I updated. I know, I know, I suck. Actually, I don't - my house sucks. Specifically, remodeling it does. You know you're getting old when after ten minutes of painting, you need two Aleve and a goddamned nap. I have only one outfit left that doesn't have paint on it. It sucks.

Also, we had to put one of our cats to sleep and that sucked, too.

So, I fell completely behind on recapping Project Runway. Big FAIL 4 me! All I can say is, the right person won, and Kenley, you are such a freaking bitch. Woo!

I need to catch up on Project Rungay, DListed - everyone! Everything's been on hold, and on the Internet, five weeks might as well be five years.

Bah!

Offline life is very crazy, so I've had no time to blog, which is incredibly irritating because there's a lot going on with Project Runway and various fun and insane news stories, and I can't get the time to sit down and write about them!

I predict my entries will be sporadic over at least the next week. We're painting, like, a thousand cabinets. My poor precious little woman-hands are weary.

Holee Shit

The last three weeks I've read Project Rungay's recaps after finishing mine, and I'm finding they're saying so many of the exact same things! Especially this week with the reaction to Blayne's outfit. I sweartagod I'm not copying!

Just saying.

Project Runway Episode 9 Previews!

Um, be a bitch much, Terri?



As if Leanne would change her model!

"Special Guests!" Oooh, la la, please let one of them be Christian!



WHEEE, it is! However, it looks like there are going to be a bunch of messes up on that runway, as well as a lot of designers bitching. Kenley is arguing with Nina! And we've got another fabric-pooping model. Ruh-roh! This is either going to be awesome, or horrible.

Condolences to Stella Zotis

Project Rungay has done another excellent interview with Stella, in which she reveals that her father died the day her auf'ing aired. We're sorry, Stella. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

The interview is, like the other one, an excellent read, and the more I learn about this woman the more she just fucking rawks. She's got a really interesting history - go read!

Also, we learn that some of the Tim snarkery may have been, like the Laura/Keith snarkery, a product of editing. The editors are starting to piss me off this season, with creating fights where there aren't any. If you have to go that far to make shit up, you either cast the wrong people or you're giving out shitty challenges. I mean, you made me hand out a b-slap to Tim Gunn, for fuck's sake. Not okay! Stop making nice people look like bitches and think up better challenges.
