ANTM Takes a Walk into the Gutter

September 24, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by Ruth Anne Boulet Analeigh does not want to be in the bottom two ever again. Then Hannah tells Analeigh and Marjorie to stop with the pity party. TyraMail says something about being in the gutter. Yes, that’s a bowling alley gutter. I so want the bowling alley high heels. Seriously want them. They’re uber cool. The girls have to strut the runway on the bowling lane. Hannah gets the Miss Jay impression, which is never good. Samantha discusses how she’s going to rock her bow legs. Elina gets told she needs to let go. In other words, the feedback […]

Music and Fashion Collide on Project Runway

September 24, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by Ruth Anne Boulet So we’ve come to the point in the Project Runway season when we know enough of each contestant’s personality to make things interesting. It’s also when some of the more blatant backstabbing and testiness comes out. Leanne figures that Suede’s model Tia gives him an advantage. Oh, Leanne, she hasn’t helped Suede so far? That’s just pouring salt on a wound at this point. So Tim tells the designers that their next challenge is to design for each other. The look they create has to be inspired by a certain musical genre. They have to explore […]

Mommie Dearest Visits Project Runway

September 17, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by Ruth Anne Boulet First off, I have to give a big old BOOO to Bravo for taking all clips of Project Runway off YouTube and not posting them on Hulu. For crying out loud, share and you’ll get more people to watch the show! Of course, Bravo may not give a rip about that. Lifetime — make Project Runway available to the masses! So, on with the actual episode. Suede is going to fight, dangit! Kenley doesn’t know why she was so dissed with her hideous Aquarius outfit. Will our intrepid designers never learn? Heidi does her opening runway […]

It’s Makeover Meltdown Again on ANTM

September 17, 2008 Ruth Boulet

The ANTM girls come back to the house & who do they see but Tyra Banks! All the girls get tiaras, party bags and pizza. Tyra tells the girls about how she made over her career when her butt and boobs came. Why is Tyra telling the girls about how she MADE OVER her career? Because it’s makeover day! Squeal! In keeping with the cheesy character theme this cycle, Evil Miss Jay comes and brings Tyra a poison apple. Then Mr. Jay arrives to give Tyra a kiss from her true love to revive her. Apparently Mr. Jay will also […]

What’s Your Sign Project Runway?

September 10, 2008 Ruth Boulet

Ok, Terri’s just getting mean. She’s talking about the ‘witch’ being dead, meaning Stella. Come on now, Terri. No need to be like that. We all know you want to win. Ragging on other people won’t get you there. Special guests are then brought out & it’s all the designers that have been eliminated. Jerell thinks it’s good to see them, but it depends on why they’re there. They’re there to help the designers still in the competition to create an avant garde look. The look must be inspired by the astrological sign of one person on the team. I […]

ANTM Brings Back Posing Master Benny Ninja

September 10, 2008 Ruth Boulet

We get right into things this week — Benny Ninja tells the girls that it’s time to learn how to strike a killer pose. He twirls around a box to reveal a model all contorted up in the box. She’s an Australian model who’s crazy flexible. Crazay flexible. The girls have to pose in a red net hanging from the ceiling. Nikeysha says she needs to learn to shut up. She talks about it. A lot. So the girls of course decide to jump into the pool and play truth or dare. Elina kisses Clark, Sheena dances around — the […]

Project Runway Does Double O Fashion

September 4, 2008 Ruth Boulet

I decided this afternoon that with the premiere of America’s Next Top Model, I too should make a fresh start and not go incognito anymore. So the mask is off WindUpDoll, much like the makeup off a drag queen. But that’s another episode of Project Runway. I ended up watching Project Runway on Thursday as ANTM was a whopping two hours last night. Then I felt like I should be a responsible grown up and watch the Republican National Convention. I shan’t make that mistake again tonight. Screw responsibility! It’s time to watch the fierceness! Can Project Runway drop the […]

ANTM Goes Dragalicious, Officially

September 3, 2008 Ruth Boulet

I’ve decided that this cycle of America’s Next Top Model, I should drop the alias and come clean. Start fresh. Admit that part of my work duties include blogging trashy TV. Tyra is starting Cycle 11 with a new beginning in Los Angeles. Because, you know, ANTM has never been in LA before. I learned this before from Sarah Palin, but one of the Alaskan semifinalist (Hannah) says that LA is way different from Alaska. Thanks for confirming Hannah! The Jays are dressed in space age dress introducing the Top Model School of Technology. These girls are on a top-secret […]

I Love My Saturn, And So Does Project Runway

August 27, 2008 Ruth Boulet

So this week the Project Runway designers have to, as Christian Siriano once told us, “make crap out of candy.” Only this time it’s not candy. It’s car parts. Saturn Vue car parts, to be exact. I don’t know if the parts are hybrid. Can a seat belt be hybrid? Hybrid polyester maybe? Rayon? Green rayon? We open this episode with Kenley talking about missing Daniel. So maybe the stuff Daniel is saying about how he was edited is true. Hmmm. Love Heidi’s dress at the top of this episode. Very French. Heidi sends them to the rooftop of another […]

Drag Me Away From The Olympics Project Runway

August 20, 2008 Ruth Boulet

I need to tear myself away from the Olympics for this week’s Project Runway. Have you been watching? You should be, it’s been fabulous. And addictive. I’ve been sleep-deprived because I can’t turn it off and go to bed. Chris March is here to introduce this week’s challenge. What could tear me away from athletes challenging themselves to new levels? Drag queens. We get a few different reactions from the designers. Straight guy Joe doesn’t quite know what to do. Terri is, of course, digging this challenge — because she’s secretly Donna Summer! Our selection of drag queens have a […]
