Props

I must say, Christian Siriano (winner of last season Project Runway) put together the most stunning line of clothes I have ever viewed. I'm not an expert or anything, but go take a look. Wow.

In the Projects lay a Bitter Sweet P

Scene: Apartment is all quiet. Sick husband sleeping.

Judges announce "Chris, you're in" - I shot straight up and almost yelped in girlish gleeeeeeeee! WHEEE!!! Then.... "Rami, you're also in." Damn.

IF ONLY Chris had done something slightly different and still "haute."

I hate that Drapey McDraperson drapes guy. I can even list why:
- He drapes fabric. The end.
- He peeved me with his slave-driver 'tude towards the P. Totally not necessary.
- He's already dressed tons of celebrities. Why does he even need to show at Bryant Park?? Why is he on this show?? Why do people keep buying his drapes??
- How can one be "passionate" about draping garments? YAWN.
- He always tries to distinguish himself as being "foreign" and having an elitist chic attitude. Get. Over. Yourself.
- I haven't even really liked the looks of any of his gowns.
- He's hot but gay. I'm bitter.

We'll just have to see how the 3 best looks of Chris and Rami compare.

For all who want to know (hi 2 readers - err - Mom and Aunt! bahaha), I actually really like Christian. Shocking, I know. I can even list why:
- He knows what he wants to do right away.
- He can execute a vision. BOOM.
- He uses fun gay phrases (Tranny ice cream, FIERCE, etc)
- He sews like a maniac. The other people will be pulling their fabric out of the bag and Christian is flouncing about the room with an already-made shirt. It's like he's a magical fairy elf in the workroom.
- He really "gets" the challenges. (prom dress challege was his weakest moment, but I really believe he had a difficult client who really didn't know what the heck she wanted)
- He has CRAZY hair.
- He really could have beaten the P in the arm wrestling match
- He never seems to get too stressed out. Pretty refreshing from crazy monotone Jillian.
- He is still relatively cordial to other designers
- He calls other designers out when they start to get too bitchy/stressed
- He clearly has talent
- His confidence really doesn't bother me. It's refreshing that he can back up his confidence.
- Did I mention the CRAZY hair????

Jillian is meh. That girl's monotone soft voice really gets ME on edge. I keep thinking: Oh. Man. she's gonna snap, she's gonna snap, she's gonna snap. Plus, she's ALWAYS last-minute. At least she's remained in.

Poor Sweet Pea. She really is sweet. Also, I noticed last night her blue star tattoo on her hand. I kinda liked it. The other tattoos are just distracting. Good lucked to our auffed P.

Chris I like. I wish he would just contain his fanciful notions of grandeur. Keep the outfits a little more finished and polished.

Overall, Chris or Christian could win and I would be happy. Jillian might suprise me - or snap.

That's all! I really liked last nights episode. PLUS - I was excited that they actually went to The Metropolitan museum - I can proudly say I've been there. How cool would it be to be in there with only 10 other people? Tres cool.

Hmpf. I thought I called it again.

OK. For the 2nd week in a row I just had this "KNOWINGLY" feeling that Rickey was a goner on PR. I was preparing for the weepiness, the sad regret I would feel about how he BLAH BLAH BLAH something, etc. Alas, I was wrong. Poor Kit. Is it weird that I loved her exit? So gracefully sweet. The real story here though: DANG, Rami. quit friggin draping on drapes on every thing that moves in this world. I'm SO over it. Your draping weird dress last week was ugly and your "avant garde" piece this week was drapingly-boring. drap-I-mean-yawn. I secretly was hoping for Rami to be DRAPED and outta there, but I swear that Rickey is to be auffed soon... He just doesn't really sew too well if you haven't noticed. I bet he makes really awesome lingerie, but sister can't sew an even waist.

Anyway, PR is the only good thing about today. It was a fun show. So I blogged about it. Now I wish to drape myself in sheets and get some sleep. How avantay-garday of moi.

AUF WIEDERSEHEN!
