LiveBlogging The Project Runway (and Recap)

LiveBlogging The Project Runway (and Recap)

August 20, 2008 by Svetlana

I am probably going to regret this within 5 minutes of the show starting BUT we are going to keep up with last week’s promises and live blog tonight’s project runway episode.
(it should be a good one too, as they get the drag queen challenge this week, and I am recruiting my very mean and very funny roommate to participate in this as well)

Bonus: and you are part of it too.

How this is going to roll:
-show starts at 9 sharp
-me being annoyed with it starts at 9:01 sharp
-all commentary will be in the comments in this post
-we HAVE turned the the auto approve comment feature on so YOU CAN INSTANTANEOUSLY COMMENT AS WELL.
-about anything-the show, the designers, the Olympics, I don’t care.

it will be great.
like a project runway gchat.
or a disaster.
or both.

So-get your keyboards ready and see you at 9.
Right here.

bonus:
Gawker’s live blogging bonanza

+

imagery:

(winning ones: Korto, Terri and the amazing kabuki dream coat and Joe
losers: Keith’s sad chicken, Jerrell’s “classy affair” and Daniel’s bleach disaster)

Michael Says:

I’m going to upload pictures of my enormous dong.

kc Says:

i kind of just want to keep saying “slutty, slutty, slutty” as my only comment.

August 20, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Svetlana Says:

and we open with some old fashioned previous winner hating.
just in time for the GAY EPISODE!

August 20, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Michael Says:

I totally can’t wait to see if Gideon catches Frank (Keith Carradine).

August 20, 2008 at 9:03 pm
kc Says:

(as sherry vine’s knee’s show up)

OH-MY-GOD!

August 20, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Michael Says:

oh wait, wrong show.

August 20, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Svetlana Says:

I think the whole episode should just be devoted to chris march’s horns!

who would you have picked as your drag queen.

August 20, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Svetlana Says:

i cannot even begin to comment on the ladies

August 20, 2008 at 9:09 pm
kc Says:

do the mannequin forms even come this large?

August 20, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Michael Says:

sizeist!

August 20, 2008 at 9:11 pm
kc Says:

whatever.
joe is wearing a bra. it HAS come to that.

August 20, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Svetlana Says:

the blayne backlash begins:

neonlicious
girlicious
BARFLICIOUS

August 20, 2008 at 9:13 pm
KC@KC.COM Says:

He is from Yakama.
the first part of that town is a synonim for barf.
Enough said.

Also Micheal: Skinny people rule the world.
Where’s my seagram’s?

August 20, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Michael Says:

I actually have Seagram’s. Are you coming Saturday?

August 20, 2008 at 9:16 pm
kc Says:

yes. i’m bringing beefeaters.
on the rocks.

August 20, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Michael Says:

I thought you ate sausage?

August 20, 2008 at 9:19 pm
svetlana Says:

on topic!
jerrel shares his tearjerker story.
suede starts speaking in ferst person! and talking to his dead grandfather.
the end is nigh.

August 20, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Michael Says:

I’m not watching this stupid show, I just figured this live shit would be fun.

August 20, 2008 at 9:21 pm
kc Says:

I hate Kato.

August 20, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Svetlana Says:

am I the only person freaked out by the fact that they are all looking like dudes now?

August 20, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Ebel Says:

I spy a progressive rattail . . .

August 20, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Meg Says:

ok, I got caught up making sangria and am coming in late. what these queens are not cute without the makeup

August 20, 2008 at 9:23 pm
kc Says:

(covers face in horror)

August 20, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Michael Says:

Where’s Morgan?

August 20, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Svetlana Says:

Morgan is building a set for a shoot tonight. We have you instead.
Turn on bravo!

August 20, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Svetlana Says:

the best part of the show thus far has been the preview for “the house bunny”. Anna Farris is my God.

August 20, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Michael Says:

I don’t have Bravo. I have Channels 4, 5, 7, 9, 14, 20, 26, 32, 50 and 56. Only 3 of those come in worth a damn.

I think we should do this while watching Generation Kill. Does anyone have HBO?

August 20, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Meg Says:

seriously, I can’t even handle this one! Did Tim just say gay jurassic park?

August 20, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Becca Says:

so excited about The House Bunny.

August 20, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Svetlana Says:

anything can be liveblogged.

“Did you make a sleeve because you did not want to make a glove?”
Classic.

And the rattail is the new star of this show!

August 20, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Michael Says:

I would invite Ebel, too, but s/he is afraid I’ll punch h/im/er in the face.

August 20, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Svetlana Says:

Blayne wearing Daniel’s dress was kind of worth it.

We should be liveblogging “The House Bunny” instead.

In other news, one more episode and I may stab Joe into his eyeballs.

August 20, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Meg Says:

What is that green monster Suede is making. ugh…

August 20, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Svetlana Says:

his grandfather told him he needed some sprinkles of seeds on it!

August 20, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Svetlana Says:

kiss and make up!

the make up room is AH-MAY-ZING!!!!!!!!!!!

have some more exclamation points:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 20, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Meg Says:

how did they go from Natalie Portman to drag queens? seriously… thank g-d I had sangria before this.
ps
over the leatha chick

August 20, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Michael Says:

The House Bunny seems like it would be decent if it were rated XXX.

August 20, 2008 at 9:34 pm
kc Says:

i secretly hope they have some special effects during the runway show

August 20, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Meg Says:

i secretly hope Heidi will break into song with one of them.

August 20, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Svetlana Says:

Hamlet 2 looks awesome too.

Drag queen episodes of project runway would be decent if they were rated XXX. Enough with the tasteful editing.

p.s. over everyone.

August 20, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Michael Says:

So who else is liveblogging naked?

August 20, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Svetlana Says:

they should do an episode with Janice Dickinson.

August 20, 2008 at 9:39 pm
kc Says:

Ru Paul has AGED!

August 20, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Meg Says:

holy shit that wig on RuPaul.

August 20, 2008 at 9:40 pm
kc Says:

someone needs to be doing the splits!

August 20, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Svetlana Says:

kind of liking terri’s samurai joint against all hopes.

the fringe thing is a disaster and not in a good way.

August 20, 2008 at 9:42 pm
kc Says:

Leanne’s outfit is C.U.T.E!

August 20, 2008 at 9:43 pm
kc Says:

UGH. the pterodactyl made it.
can we just kill blaybe?
or send him back to yakama

August 20, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Meg Says:

Acid Betty scares me

August 20, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Svetlana Says:

new high light: ru paul speaking with an aussi accent!

August 20, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Becca Says:

it’s kind of like a sad chicken!

August 20, 2008 at 9:45 pm
kc Says:

the knees on keith’s model are the worst!

August 20, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Svetlana Says:

for the record KC actually is ducking under our couch every time those sad chicken knees come on screen

August 20, 2008 at 9:46 pm
svetlana Says:

“its almost too normal”

“its like a good bar mitzvah moment”

michael kors is my fave this season

August 20, 2008 at 9:47 pm
Svetlana Says:

Daniel – lame again.
SHOCKER!

August 20, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Michael Says:

Wait a second. Do the two of you each have a laptop, or are you sharing one, which is why you keep signing out as an admin Svet?

August 20, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Becca Says:

Michael Kors is definitely on tonight.

August 20, 2008 at 9:49 pm
kc Says:

“they don’t want to be selling those hormones up in harlem to make a living”.

at least they have the option!

August 20, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Meg Says:

“they don’t want to be selling no hormones up in Harlem.”
and I am done.

August 20, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Svetlana Says:

quote of the night.

I also enjoyed the “hiding the candy belt”

August 20, 2008 at 9:51 pm
kc Says:

Daniel is going home.
He better be going home.

August 20, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Meg Says:

oh I am totally using “hiding the candy belt” at some point in the day tomorrow

August 20, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Svetlana Says:

a little dissapointed there were zero catfights using glitter.

in other news: commercials are on again: “Burn after reading” looks awesome too.

August 20, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Michael Says:

Dumbest ending to Criminal Minds ever.

August 20, 2008 at 9:55 pm
kc Says:

I’d totally rather see Michael Kors in drag.
Tim Gunn is too stuck up.

August 20, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Svetlana Says:

Joe wins.

August 20, 2008 at 9:57 pm
kc Says:

which one is his?

August 20, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Svetlana Says:

the pink glitter one

August 20, 2008 at 9:57 pm
kc Says:

pfffffffffft.

August 20, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Meg Says:

no more Daniel.
aww he is trying not to cry

August 20, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Becca Says:

the sad chicken gets to stay? really?

August 20, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Svetlana Says:

and the surprise about who gets eliminated is… THERE IS NO SURPRISE!

August 20, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Michael Says:

Are you going to have to erase the commentary so people who didn’t view the show don’t read them and then bitch?

August 20, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Ebel Says:

Now I’m all excited for the drag queen races.

Michael thank you for the half-ass invitation/not invitation.

xo

And . . . .
Rattail’s SAFE

August 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Meg Says:

I’m one episode away from being over it.
night night.

August 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Svetlana Says:

No.
There is no visual evidence and that is all that matters.

August 20, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Michael Says:

We should totally do this during Two and a Half Men next Monday.

August 20, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Becca Says:

umm if we’re liveblogging anything on Mondays its definitely The Hills.

August 20, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Svetlana Says:

SPEAKING of drag queen races, check out last year’s amazing photo set (the firs tone Lexie ever did for us):

August 20, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Becca Says:

*it’s

August 20, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Svetlana Says:

Hills is what liveblogging was invented for.
As if liveblogging needed a reason to exist.

August 20, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Michael Says:

Ebel – I don’t deal well with rejection and I know you’d say no so you wouldn’t have to fret over wardrobe choices.

August 20, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Becca Says:

can we please, maybe?

August 20, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Svetlana Says:

for sure for sure.
i don’t have a life. i can liveblog any night of the week.
aside from tomorrow – tomorrow is brazilian night.

August 20, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Michael Says:

I don’t know what Hills is.

It’s the Democrat convention next Monday. That should be fun. Actually nevermind. I’m not watching either convention.

August 20, 2008 at 10:05 pm
Michael Says:

Becca, you and I can blog during Antiques Roadshow tomorrow.

August 20, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Svetlana Says:

Michael, you totally would have enjoyed the “Unconventionally yours” screening yesterday.
Where were you?

August 20, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Becca Says:

best. idea. ever.

August 20, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Michael Says:

I was not in Adams Morgan. I am never in Adams Morgan unless I sneak in on a weekend to buy books.

Plus I was thinking half of those people who would go are the ones who shake politicians hands.

August 20, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Michael Says:

damned ambiguity – do you mean Antiques Roadshow is the best idea ever?

August 20, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Svetlana Says:

you totally missed out.
in other news, I feel bad for people who will try to read through these comments later on.

am thinking: there should be a random live blogging post a day.
anything can be liveblogged.
like those people stealing some poor evicted soul’s furniture across the street from my apartment.
they totally deserve to be liveblogged.

August 20, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Becca Says:

duh.

August 20, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Michael Says:

Our big boss is out for the next two weeks, which leaves the “Steve” character from my stories (the guy who looks like a donut) in charge.

I could just liveblog all day long.

August 20, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Svetlana Says:

this can be arranged more easily than you think.

August 20, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Michael Says:

he’s already started pacing around and out-sounding anyone else talking in the office today. And he’s exerting his power. He yelled for someone to “come here” over the cube today – which he never does with the boss is there. I yelled back (even though he wasn’t talking to me) “Please. Come here, Please” and everyone just blew up.

Come to think of it, I’m due a vacation.

August 20, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Becca Says:

good.

August 20, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Michael Says:

Next time I’ll live blog about how I just ate half a package of Chips Ahoy, which translates into 700 calories and 60-something % of my total fat intake for the day and nothing else.

August 20, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Becca Says:

Svetlana is going to turn off the automatic comment thing to make us stop.

August 20, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Michael Says:

Well this is post 100. I think that’s a record.

What are you watching now?

August 20, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Svetlana Says:

I’m kind of enjoying this.
(so God help me)

I may designate a post every day just for shit shooting.

August 20, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Svetlana Says:

I think the comment record is 127 or something like that.
Sheer Genius is on.
I hate all of those people. I refuse to liveblog about them.

August 20, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Michael Says:

On CSI: NY there’s a runway scene where all the models are wearing clothes made out of chocolate

August 20, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Becca Says:

I hate them too! what the fuck.

August 20, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Becca Says:

can we liveblog Sunday SVU marathons? technically not “live” but oh so good. and there’s so much to say.

August 20, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Michael Says:

I think someone should liveblog shorts.

August 20, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Svetlana Says:

SVU is like crack to me.
I don’t need people to know I spend 6 hours every Sunday watching it.
Oh wait…

August 20, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Michael Says:

Wait, Special Victims Unit?

August 20, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Svetlana Says:

yes, best show ever.

in other news, I may need to leave this so I can work on my blog.
people may want to read something else tomorrow than just the 3 of us discussing (non-project runway) tv.

August 20, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Michael Says:

Next time I go to my dad’s I’ll live blog The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie.

August 20, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Michael Says:

People read what you give them to read.

August 20, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Michael Says:

OMG! I’m so fat. Why did I eat 30 cookies?

August 20, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Svetlana Says:

freak

August 20, 2008 at 10:37 pm
morgan Says:

it’s decided: next week we’re liveblogging the liveblogging. seriously. and as far as tonight goes, here are my POST LIVEBLOG P.RUNWAY BLOG COMMENTS:

1. kenley’s laugh is like nails on a chalkboard, and i’m so over her whole vintage aesthetic. the kit pistol car commercial reminded me that NO ONE WINS WITH RETRO.

2. daniel should have been auf-ed like two weeks ago. he was a nervous wreck this whole episode and his dress looked like couture pac-sun, which is not a compliment. sooo bai ling.

3. i’ve been waiting for eighteen months for tim gunn to bring back “flotsam and jetsom.” worth every second.

4. joe’s jumpsuit was pretty effing amazing, but if the southern anne murray on steroids hadn’t been such a delight, i’m pretty sure it would have gone to koto. coto? corto? dunno.

5. barflicious.

oh, and here’s my pre-hills-episode-2 advance liveblog:

1. lo, you bitch!
2. spencer, you nazi!
3. audrina, wtf are you wearing?
3. lauren, your miss america-style trail of black mascara tears is sooo aspirational. you are like the best avon spokesgirl EVER.

now when is antiques roadshow on??

August 20, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Taylor Says:

I actually thought Kenley’s little glittery vest on this episode was really cute. She could use more variety – but I think her 40s thing works well for her. I thought for this episode they should have had a tie for winner and a tie for loser. Because the top two and bottom two both deserved immunity / hitting the bricks respectively.

August 21, 2008 at 7:44 am
Nicole Says:

Soooo glad Daniel is gone. Who could forget his “impeccable taste?” Oh wait, everyone because it was missing. I’m actually a little sad Korto didn’t win. She nailed it.

Also, pac sun couture is the perfect PERFERCT description of daniel’s crap attack.

August 21, 2008 at 8:39 am
eddie Says:

can you guys kindly liveblog the next round of women’s indoor volleyball so i can constantly make references to kimberly glass, please? i call her g.l. ass
