10 Questions for Project Runway

christina aguilera citizen k project runway.jpg1. Bob Mackie. Seriously, Bob Mackie. Why has this not happened sooner?

2. Also, that means where is Cher? I love Christina, but if we’re bringing her in as a judge then I’m thinking David LaChappelle should have been the other guest.

3. How f*&^%ing “on” was Tim tonight? My favorite was the the Guinevere meets Vampira reference.

4. Who didn’t laugh when hearing that a designer was going to “Blast the industry with my knowledge.” Yeah, bring it, bro. Can’t wait.

5. Did Gordana forget what verbs are?

6. Do you really believe these people have been dressing celebs for years? No, other contestants, they have not.

My Barbie World: Part II

rachel roy barbie.JPGBarbie’s 50th meant major sensory overload - not delicious seven course meal overload but one too many cherries atop the sundae overload.

It went a little something like this: Kimora Lee Simmons on one end of the runway and Vogue’s Marina Rust on the other, both holding Barbie wielding children. A Real World: Brooklyn cast member sat on the right while Heidi Klum sat on the left, sandwiched between Miss J and the ubiquitous Robert Verdi who wanted to chat with Simon Doonan. Simon was trying to catch up with Diane who joyously embraced Suzy Menkes while Peter Som looked on calmly from his center perch. Rachel Roy’s daughter handled the paparazzi better than Lindsay Lohan and the soccer moms behind us tried awfully hard to make sense of The Blondes while I enjoyed a breakfast of Barbie chocolates.

The show opened with a Barbie through the ages sort of montage and ran to a Barbie-fied Top 40 soundtrack; Ken got to wear Kenneth Cole (ha!); the crowd went wild for Bob Mackie’s creation; the video screen told us that, “A plastic tan never fades” and for the second time this week confetti rained down atop our heads.

Because she’s a Barbie girl, in her very own Barbie world.

Get Ready, RuPaul is Back

rupauls drag race.jpgNothing like news of RuPaul’s new TV show to make the day more interesting.

The famous drag queen is making her way back into the public eye with a new television (and online) series, RuPaul’s Drag Race, in which she coaches (as a man) and judges (as a woman) nine competing drag queens, with names like Bebe and Nina Flowers, from around the country. Contestants will be judged on fashion design, modeling, singing and performing.

Santino Rice from season two of Project Runway sits on the permanent judges panel, which includes weekly celebrity guest judges like Bob Mackie and Tori Spelling.

We hope to god this means Mackie will design most of their outfits, though the best part will definitely be the eliminations.

After the bottom two contestants are chosen, they’ll have to compete in a “‘lip-synch for your life” performance that will determine if they will ‘shante’ and stay or ‘sashay’ away.”

The show debuts February 2nd at 10pm EST on Logo. DVR now.
