Project Hot Tranny Mess, Girl!

Yay! I'm so happy that Christian Siriano won PROJECT RUNWAY last night. Oh! Don't read this if you haven't already watched the finale. Though, he's on Regis and Kelly (and g-d knows how many other trainwreck chat shows) this morning, so you probably already know.

Despite the fact that I was really upset at about 2/3 of this season's PROJECT RUNWAY episodes because they producers and the judges did not appear to be going to the same meetings. The producers repeatedly threw the contestants to the lions with hare-brained ideas and a half a day to pull them off. I mean, they almost killed Jack Mackenroth for chrissakes.

In the end, all 3 finalists produced GORGEOUS gasp-worthy collections. Though, someone should tell Rami that he's colorblind. I think that Chris' collection was more cohesive and attention-grabbing than Rami's. I think if all 4 "finalists" had walked at Fashion Week, Rami's collection would have stuck out like a sore thumb. It wasn't fashion forward.

I thought Jillian deserved "second place" because her collection could appear in Elle Magazine, while Rami's collection could appear in South Beach Magazine or Palm Beach Magazine. Lovely for 40-50something women of a particular social status. Jillian's collection was fun and the details were fantastic. She should just focus on making knitwear and coats and she'll make millions.

Christian's collection made me gasp out loud a couple of times. And, I really could see Victoria Beckham wearing every one of his pieces. If they knew she was going to be the judge, then Christian had an unfair advantage since he can probably channel her if he concentrates really hard. One thing I really like about reality TV is watching (other) people's dreams come true before their very eyes. And, it's very rare that one ever gets to see a little gay boy's dreams come true before his very eyes. I got emotional when Vicky called Christian's collection, "Major." It was a beautiful life-changing ultragay moment.

And while we're talking about ultragay meowments, please to enjoy this clip of my future husband, Tim Gunn and Christian having an impromptu walk-off. Props to Bravo for continuing to pioneer the frontiers of queer basic cable TV.
