...And we're down to eight designers as week 9 begins. Last week we lost the fey, wisecrackin' Michael Drummond to the vicissitudes of reality teevee in the Jackie O. challenge. Btw if you hadn't heard, a shitstorm took place around the entire episode last week due to Tim Gunn's weekly vlog which he had been posting weekly on Facebook. His Episode 8 vlog was 12 minutes plus, in which we learned that the challenge had originally been built around outfits for Katie Holmes to wear in a History Channel biopic. That concept was trashed, a whole new challenge idea was presented, then switched up with Jackie O. again in the mix with classic American sportswear (which Tim says makes no sense). Additionally, La Gunn also revealed that he'd been sent to the wrong location not once, but several times this...

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then pity the ghost of Jackie Kennedy. Girlfriend is not feeling very flattered this morning. Maybe it’s a sign of just how singular the former First Lady’s style was, because other than Mondo and (shockingly) Ivy, no one came close to nailing last night’s challenge, which was to create an outfit that personifies modern American sportswear and is worthy of Jackie O. It was one of those episodes where the results were so dismal, the judges strained to find three outfits to round out the top spots. Dark days,...

I say this every year, but I have high hopes for this season of Project Runway.
Maybe.
Last year I had high hopes, but aside from Ping's meltdowns, Anthony's exuberance, and Jesse's hotness, the season was pretty much a bust (although I am glad that Seth Aaron beat the arrogant Emilio for the championship).
This season could turn out to be interesting, though. When the show returns on Thursday, July 29th at 9Pm Est on Lifetime, it will now be 90 minutes long, which may increase the drama, and give us more insight into the creative process. Along with Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia will be returning, and hopefully they'll include some eclectic guest judges. My favorite last season? Milla Jovovich.
Best of all, of the nine male designers competing this season, seven are part of "Team Gay," which is the most for any season of Project Runway.
Maybe.

Native Voices at the Autry, America's leading Native American theater company, launches its 2009-10 main stage play series with the world premiere of Carbon Black by Terry Gomez. The humor-tinged suspenseful psychological drama, directed by Native Voices Founder/Producing Artistic Director Randy Reinholz, runs Saturday, November 7 to Sunday, November 22, 2009 (previews begin Wednesday, November 4). Gripping and enigmatic, the play vividly portrays the relationship between an agoraphobic mother and her precocious son, who claims to have witnessed a horrific murder. The mother's refusal to acknowledge the tale and her crippling dependence on sensationalized media coverage of violence around the globe serve to hold them both hostage and isolated. The award-winning cast includes actress Tonantzín Carmelo, Sheila Tousey, Stephan Wolfert and Michael Drummond.
