Project Runway: Race to the Finish; The Live Blogging

Glee's back! *There are some SPOILERS*

And you know what that means, right?! Kurt's fashion! Am I the only person who gets all worked up over Kurt's clothing? I think not. I'm sure plenty of other people out there enjoy Kurt's fierceness as much as I do. And for the season 2 premiere, I was NOT disappointed.

In case you didn't know, Kurt Hummel (played by the ever-so-talented Chris Colfer) is the most fabulous member (in my opinion) of the William McKinley High School Glee Club. His fashion sense is quite amazing. He can go from channeling his inner Chuck Bass in well-tailored coats and pants to a more casual yet still fashionable look.

Last night's season premiere (Audition) was wonderful! I've been anxiously waiting the return of Glee all summer and it's finally here! Although some of the songs weren't great, the episode was off to a great start. There is a new football coach: Coach Bieste. She's awesome! Her snappy one-liners could rival Sue's - if only they made proper sense. Poor, sweet, misunderstood Coach Bieste endures quite the bullying from *gasp* Sue and Will. What?! Sue and Will teamed up to get rid of the coach who wants to cut the Cheerio's and Glee Club's budget by 10% to help boost the football team to bring more money back into the school. What it was to me was a Grover Goes to School episode. And we all know how I feel about that...though I didn't cry in this episode because I just knew Will would come around.

Kurt's fashion was amazing. He was his usual fabulous self but I think he might kick it up a notch. I can feel it. Here are some highlights from last night's fashion show:



Can I just say that I'm IN LOVE with the chain from his tie to his jacket?! LOVE IT!!



Loving the colour of this jacket and his sweet, sweet arm candy Mercedes.



I LOVED this scene. When asked if he was wearing a girl's sweater he replied."Fashion knows no gender". LOVES IT! And the sweater looks fabs!



I'm not quite sure what was happening here. I LOVE his Civil War style hats but I'm not sure if the "bondage" straps, reminiscent of The Fifth Element, were a winning combination. I love them both separately but maybe not together. Still, he WORKED IT.

I'm thinking about starting a Kurt Hummel fashion Tumblr but I'm not sure if I'd have the time to run it properly. Oh well. Until then, I'll just keep screen-capping from Hulu and squeal with joy at all the fashion adventures yet to come for season 2!

Watch the season 2 premiere, if you haven't already or if you just have to see it again, HERE

Project Runway: Rough Day On The Runway - the day after

Hello all! Another successful live-blog of Project Runway has been completed! Lots of fun and laughs and the possible addition of a drinking game? We'll see...

For last night's episode, we were promised a "blood bath". I'm sorry Lifetime producers but it was anything but a blood bath. Gretchen (known during the live-blogs as Wretched) is still her same old bully self and Ivy is still cold-hearted, which makes me think "What could be so bad at this point"? We've seen the worst of the Wretched/Ivy nightmare team and Michael C is still taking the high road. Surprisingly, Michael D was being very diplomatic and not participating in the smack-talking that was happening. Who was participating in the smack talk? None other than my very own squeaky-voiced, "We can do it!" Valerie. *GASP* WTF??!?!?! Valerie?
Yes, Valerie. She was not only praising Ivy for her wonderful look (No!!!!!!) but she was also in on the Michael C trash talk. What?! I expected more from you! You're so cute and so determined and so...Valgal and this is making me upset! In the words of Master Gunn, "This worries me". I hope Valerie returns to her normal, upbeat, adorbs self or else she will break my heart.
Mondo's design last night was really head-turning - in a good way. As Tim said, he found a houndstooth print in "Mondo" - large print in white, black and purple. And he made it work!




Congrats Mondo! Keep being cute ^_^
And you can check out all the looks at Rate the Runway!

Next week looks like it will be cray-cray! Valgal looks like she loses it and the runway definitely looks like it will be wacky beyond belief! I hope it's all true and NOT clever editing from the producers.

Until next week.....................here are the rules for our drinking game:
  1. Take a shot when Heidi (or anyone, for that matter) says "Under the bus"
  2. Take a shot when the lovely Nina Garcia looks constipated
  3. Take a shot when someone says something looks like a "train wreck" (looking at you Nina!)
  4. Take a shot when Tim says, "Make it work"
And more to come later...I'm sure!
Be sure to join us next week for more runway fun!
Happy Friday and enjoy your weekend!
Love and kisses,

Project Runway: What's Mine is Yours; The Live Blogging

Dragon*Con 2010!

I had never been to Dragon*Con. Ever. I had always seen pictures and heard stories but I had never experienced it. I was always afraid that you needed a pass just to see the patrons in costumes but last year, my sister proved it wrong. She obtained press passes and embarked on a journey that sounded so fun, I had to get in on it this year. And so I did.
No press passes for us, though. We entered the Dragon*Con journey at the perfect place to start: Friday night at Trader Vic's, a Hawaiian themed bar residing under the Hilton. What a madhouse! I wasn't expecting so much awesomeness! I mean, I guess I was but I didn't know what to do with myself. And the worst part was: I forgot my camera.
Once we had a few drinks in us and after I ran into an old high school friend (fun times!), we were off. I was running around in a drunken haze of my childhood heroes in real life. Everywhere we went, I threw my phone at my old man and demanded he take a photo of me and whoever I was able to track down. Everyone was great on Friday! Great costumes, great attitudes, great everything! The crowd wasn't that big - which was a bonus. Saturday was different story.
Saturday was crazy! I had forgotten that they were trying to break the World Record for the most costumed people in one place at the same time, so you know it was crowded! But I got more attitude Saturday night when I asked for photos :( Oh well. If I had been in costume, I would've loved posing! Which makes me wonder what I should do for next year...
I was also on sort of a scavenger hunt. Since I forgot my regular camera on Friday night and was only able to obtain blurry, low lit photos with my phone, I wanted to see if I could find the same-ish costumes on Saturday night. What a task! The not-so-hard ones: Halo (MANDATORY), Steampunk anything and Waldo. The ones I really needed were Sailor Moon - which was one of the FIRST costumes I saw (!!!!), The Comedian (from Watchmen) - the BEST Comedian was on Friday, Cloud from "Final Fantasy" and a few others I can't remember. And those that I couldn't remember prompted me to come up with a great idea: get a group together in teams of 2 or 4 and go on a "Pics or it didn't happen" scavenger hunt! Each team has the same sheet and their task is to go on which ever day they choose - Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday or all days - and get photos of the characters on the sheet. Bonus points awarded for not so well-known characters. Example: we kept seeing cheerleaders Saturday night but only I recognized them as Cheerios (the cheeleaders in Glee) and other smaller characters - like the Samurai Pizza Cats or something not a whole lot of people know... We'll see how the list comes together.
Until the, check out my Flickr set from Dragon*Con and be sure to check out more groups for more photos!!

Re-Watching LOST: Season 5

I'm a bad re-capper. A bad, bad re-capper. Why? We fucking FINISHED season 5. Finished it. And how does it end? Pretty much like season 2: WHITE LIGHT. Also, I really like how Jacob visited the kids at certain points in their lives:
  • Kate - when she stole (the first time perhaps?)
  • Sawyer - at his parents' funeral (Jacob gives him the pen to write Mr. Sawyer THE letter)
  • Sayid - when him and Nadia finally got reunited and Jacob caused her to get HIT BY A CAR
  • Ilana - after being beat up? (I don't really know who she is...)
  • Locke - AFTER he's thrown out the window by his shitty father
  • Jin & Sun - at their fucking wedding (twofer)
  • Jack - after his first surgery (count to 5 and try again) at the vending machine
  • Hurley - after he gets out of prison
So...there you have it. We see them time travel back to the mid-70's. We also see that John Locke - I mean Jeremy Bentham - is dead. But on the island, he's alive? But his dead body is dead? Yeah. I know why but my old man doesn't. So now, we wait. We wait for the damn DVDs to come out. It's bothering me because I just want to get it over with since we were able to knock them out fairly quickly.
Until then, we've been occupying our time with our Netflix intstant queue. What's in it, you ask? Californication, Skins, Spartacus: Blood and Sand and many, many more. It's pretty much the most awesomest thing we've done. And we've already queued up LOST SEASON 6. Damn right. Until then, here's some videos:

WAAAAAALT!!!
