November 19, 2009 - 11:11p.m.
Will Carol-Hannah stop puking in time to make it to Bryant Park? Will Irina slaughter a couple of minks at the last minute to up the luxe factor of her upscale loungewear collection? Will Althea develop a design aesthetic besides ...

"Finale Part 1"
November 12, 2009 - 11:11p.m.
What a cliffhanger, Lifetime! Will Carol-Hannah be able to pull through the puke and show her collection at Bryant Park? Dun Dun Dun!
Actually, there were a lot of cliffhangers in tonight's pre-finale: What 'problem' is Tim dramatically calling ...

Project Runway: season 6, episode 12
"The Art Of Fashion"
November 5, 2009 - 11:11p.m.
Well, surprisingly, in the second-to-last episode this season has sort of rallied. It's been revived slightly. Don't get me wrong, this season is still dead. But tonight, the corpse of Project Runway suddenly sat up straight in its ...

Project Runway: season 6, episode 11
"Best Of The Best"
October 29, 2009 - 11:10p.m.
Don't you wish this mouth-breathing season was just over already? Does anyone give a shit at this point? The judges definitely don't. The producers stopped caring around episode three. Even the Macy's accessory wall is just like ...

Project Runway: season 6, episode 10
"Around The World In Two Days"
October 22, 2009 - 10:10p.m.
Watching this episode, the 10th, in what will come to be known as The Forgotten Season Of Project Runway and/or The Season That Killed Project Runway, I suddenly moved from depression (where I had been wallowing for the past ...

Project Runway: season 6, episode 9
"Sequins, Feathers and Fur, Oh My!"
October 15, 2009 - 09:10p.m.
Amelie has handed over the reins to me this week, and I couldn't be happier. This season of PR might be a little less stunning than its Bravo heyday, and not much has been done of interest with the ...
-
Project Runway: season 6, episode 8
"A Fashionable New Beginning"
October 8, 2009 - 10:10p.m.
Oh, I see what's going on. Isn't it nice of the producers of this prolonged shrug masquerading as Project Runway to highlight one of the many huge problems with this season each week? I don't know why ...
-
Project Runway: season 6, episode 7
"The Sky Is The Limit"
October 1, 2009 - 11:10p.m.
Now that we're mercifully past the halfway point of this prolonged shrug pretending to be Project Runway, let's evaluate what we've got. In the good column, we've got Heidi and her pin-voice still pleasantly stabbing us ...

Project Runway: season 6, episode 6
"Lights, Camera, Sew!"
September 24, 2009 - 11:09p.m.
I just can't with this season. Ugh. Really, I just can't. What is this beige, drawn-out, string of boredoms that they're trying to pass off as Project Runway? Doesn't it seem like every episode just takes ...
-
Project Runway: season 6, episode 5
"Fashion Headliners"
September 17, 2009 - 09:09p.m.
Y'all, look, I know that this write-up is not the best write-up. I mean, yeah, you've probably noticed that it seems kinda slapdash, like something I put together at the last minute—but that's because it is ...
-
Project Runway: season 6, episode 4
"What Women Want"
September 10, 2009 - 09:09p.m.
Look, Lifetime. It's great that you have this little companion show to Project Runway that no one's watching. Well, it's not great, really, but what does it hurt? Models Of The Runway is like the tiny insignificant ...
-
Project Runway: season 6, episode 3
"Rumble On The Runway"
September 3, 2009 - 10:09p.m.
We're three episodes into this season of Project Runway, and I'm beginning to notice a pattern (besides the weirdo genocide discussed in last week's re-cap). Has all the life been drained out of this show, or is ...

"We Expect Fashion"
August 27, 2009 - 11:08p.m.
Ways in which Malvin, the rooster-haired weirdo with the perfect serial killer whisper, was "too conceptual for America" (according to the editors of Project Runway):
--He ate an apple while ensconced in drapes
--He had a concept besides "pregnancy chic ...

Project Runway: season 6, episode 1
"Welcome to Los Angeles!"
August 20, 2009 - 11:08p.m.
Fear not, Project Runway fans. Amelie Gilette will be your guide through most of the season. But she's on vacation this week, which means that you have to put up with me. I know basically nothing about fashion but ...

Project Runway: season 5, episode 14
"Finale: Part 2"
October 16, 2008 - 12:10a.m.
"$100,000! Drinks are on this brother."
And with that--well, with that and a Saturn commercial--the fifth season of Project Runway ended: not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with the giddy faux-posturing of a mousey yet sometimes ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 13
"Finale: Part 1"
October 8, 2008 - 11:10p.m.
Poor Jerell. In the end, all the sassitude and quips in the world were no match for the giant, sucking black hole of Kenley's suckiness. He fought bravely, ladling accessory after accessory, jewel after jewel, tulle after mountain of ... -
Project Runway: season 10, episode 12
"Nature Calls"
October 1, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
Well, that was an interesting episode. A warmed over challenge, leading to thoroughly lukewarm (if not hideous) designs, and a totally undercooked non-result. Still, at least the drama amongst the designers was well-done.
The challenge, of course, was another hopelessly ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 11
"Rock N' Runway"
September 25, 2008 - 12:09a.m.
Bravo Poll: Based on the scowl on Kenley's face, when do you think this photo of the designers was taken?
A. Right after the runway show and judging, when the judges did their best to topple the giant gramophone ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 10
"Transformation"
September 17, 2008 - 09:09p.m.
Hope y'all don't mind if I crash your party over here. Amelie invited me -- really, she did. Where is she? Uh, I think she said something about needing to help a friend move ...? Anyway, as long as I ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 9
"What's Your Sign?"
September 11, 2008 - 12:09a.m.
Thank God for double eliminations! In one fell swoop we are finally rid of Terri and her tired tacky flares, and catchphrase-spewing, neon-loving troll doll Blayne. (Just a thought: Could Blayne's love of neon stem from his love of ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 8
"Double O Fashion"
September 3, 2008 - 10:09p.m.
So, just for clarification, tonight's challenge was to design an outfit to fit into another, far more famous designer's collection in order to justify that designer's participation in the most pretentious American Express commercial since Robert DeNiro ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 7
"The Fashion That Drives You"
August 27, 2008 - 10:08p.m.
I have a confession to make. I've been watching the inaugural season of Project Runway: Australia on YouTube. There. I admitted it. And I'm not ashamed. Because while this 5th season of Project Runway has been a little ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 6
"Good Queen Fun"
August 21, 2008 - 12:08a.m.
If we learned anything from tonight's episode it's this: RuPaul is alive and well and still giving tutelage about the hiding of one's candy.
Another important lesson from tonight's drag parade would be that drag queens ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 5
"Welcome To The Jungle"
August 13, 2008 - 10:08p.m.
Tonight's challenge was something every designer dreams of: getting one of their designs on a hit TV show, to be seen by millions of fashion-starved eyes. Of course, you could argue that the contestants on Project Runway achieve that ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 4
"Rings Of Glory"
August 6, 2008 - 11:08p.m.
Well, it's taken 5 episodes but finally some genuine personalities are beginning to emerge. Sure, we unfortunately already had Blayne, the overtanned troll doll with his sack o'catchphrases. And then there was the self-proclaimed (and proclaimed and proclaimed ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 3
"Bright Lights, Big City"
July 30, 2008 - 11:07p.m.
Next season, Project Runway not only shifts to Lifetime, but it shifts to the opposite coast, L.A. to be more exact, where fashion is all generic "rocker," super-expensive t-shirts, ironic fedoras, and garish print "maxi" dresses. At first, I ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 2
"The Grass Is Always Greener"
July 23, 2008 - 11:07p.m.
Top three lessons learned from this episode of Project Runway:
1. Models really, really like satin. Especially chocolate brown satin.
2. Natalie Portman likes droopy brown satin bow-tie details but does not like the "whole...asymmetrical...thing." (Take note, Zac ... -
Project Runway: season 5, episode 1
"Let's Start From The Beginning"
July 16, 2008 - 11:07p.m.
Hey, did you know that the 5th season of Project Runway started tonight? No? Well, that's funny. I mean, usually the publicity onslaught in the weeks leading up to the premiere of a Bravo series is overwhelming--suffocating, really--especially here ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 14
"Finale: Part 2"
March 5, 2008 - 11:03p.m.
In honor of the next phase in Elizabeth Berkley's winding career path, Bravo's Step It Up & Dance, I'm going to start off this re-cap with a quote from a seminal cheesy dance movie that wasn't Showgirls ... -

"Finale: Part 1"
February 27, 2008 - 11:02p.m.
First, let me drape you in sadness: Amelie Gilette, your far more capable tour guide through the oft-coarse swath of reality-show muslin that is Project Runway, could not be with us this evening. Rest assured, she’ll be back for ...

Project Runway: season 4, episode 12
"Reunion"
February 20, 2008 - 11:02p.m.
Does an episode that contains 45% old footage, 10% Heidi repetitions, 5% memories of Michael Kors' youth, 10% teasing the Fan Favorite™ award, and 30% bitchy Victorya or squinty Steven reaction shots count as a new Project Runway episode? I ... -

Quick Poll:
What do you think of Rami's draping addiction?
A. Enough draping already!
B. Keep draping, Rami!
C. This season is as boring as your endless drapery, Rami!
D. What a bullshit ending, right? Oh, and Rami: there ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 10
"Raw Talent"
February 6, 2008 - 11:02p.m.
All I can say about this fierce episode is that it brought the fierceness with such fierce-itude that all the fierces in fierce-town fiercely died when fierce-fronted with the sheer volume of fierce ferocity within this fierce-fierce. In other words ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 9
"Even Designers Get The Blues"
January 23, 2008 - 11:01p.m.
I don't know about y'all, but the first thing I did the second after this episode aired, was go to Levis.com/project501 so that I could (fingers crossed!) be the first one to buy Ricky's denim ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 8
"On Garde!"
January 17, 2008 - 12:01a.m.
Ok, Project Runway producers. We understand. You run the show, and not the judges. But will keeping your audience in a constant state of outrage by consistently kicking off good designers while steadily holding on to Ricky Of The Weeping ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 7
"What A Girl Wants"
January 10, 2008 - 12:01a.m.
So you're a Catholic school student in New Jersey going to prom. Would you rather wear a cheap-looking, rather unflattering red halter dress, or a gauzy pale pink blob (covered in the tears of a hat enthusiast) that makes ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 6
"Eye Candy"
January 3, 2008 - 12:01a.m.
Has Project Runway been away so long that Jillian developed a personality (besides, of course, deep-seated evil cloaked in retro-wear)? Or was that just careful editing to make everyone feel sorry for her, so that the audience would be happy ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 5
"What's The Skinny?"
December 13, 2007 - 12:12a.m.
Fattie's back! Jillian is icy! Elisa is back to hideous form! And Steven and his squinty eyes, French-Stewart-stuck-in-molasses voice, and rehearsed quips are gone! If only I'm-The-only-Straight-Guy-Here-Kevin had won with his cute little button tunic instead of Christian ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 4
"Trendsetter"
December 5, 2007 - 11:12p.m.
So, not to brag, but remember last week how I said that Jillian was poised for villainy? Well, I was kind of right. In tonight's episode she wasn't a full-on villain--not yet. But she did dip her toes ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 3
"Fashion Giant"
November 29, 2007 - 08:11a.m.
We're only three episodes in to the 4th season, and 2 of those episodes have featured challenges about designing for "special guests." (Guess what, Project Runway? If it happens every week, it's not that special.) If this trend ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 2
"Money Changes Everything"
November 21, 2007 - 11:11p.m.
So, remember how the contestants on the first season of Project Runway had to pretend to be excited to design for the tan woman with bad taste from Access Hollywood, Nancy O'Dell? Or how they had to pretend to ... -
Project Runway: season 4, episode 1
"Sew Me What You Got"
November 14, 2007 - 10:11p.m.
Fashion has changed a lot in the roughly eight or so years (read: 13 months, which is approaching infinity for a reality competition show hiatus) that Project Runway has been off the air. Babydoll dresses and skinny-leg pants have dominated ...
