We think we just hit (in Faran’s words), reality TV meta overload -
We just got a glimpse of Christian Siriano’s first dress post Project Runway win.
And where did it appear? On television, of course!
American Idol contestant Kimberley Locke wore it during her performance last night.
We’re guessing this is just like a beginner’s Sudoku for Christian, who’s supposed to be designing for Posh, and who recently shouted dreams of making MK’s Met Ball gown.
So far the look is getting pretty mixed reviews online (everywhere from “fierce” to “hot tranny mess”), but if you’re interested and have $1,000 or so to spare, you can bid for it on Clothes Off Our Back.
If you really do love it, you’ve got about two weeks to come up with the cash. But it would be like a reality TV perfect trifecta if a winner from Amazing Race or Survivor was the one to actually win the bid.

It doesn't look as stellar as his PR challenge designs, but to me the issue is it doesn't suit her body. It cuts her right in half, and that horizontal line is at her widest part. I think something with a higher waist would have been much more flattering.
It looks kind of like a Sweet Pea design to me. (Although maybe he channeled Ricky a bit with the corset...)
