OK, was reading the Fashionista blog - they pointed out that the model wearing the baby doll dress that was so pretty in Jillian's collection was none other than JASLENE.

I was over the moon when Christian won!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!! Can I pick 'em or what?? It is so much fun to have your favorite win.

Jeffrey won last year which was awesome and now Christian won! The only thing that would have made this even better is if Daniel would have won on season 2. Dang that Chloe for interfering!

I told my sister that whoever gets labeled "innovative" by the judges ends up winning. The judges described Jeffrey as innovative several times. They also said that Christion was innovative within the first few challenges. As soon as I heard that in like week 3 I said to my sister "My Christian is totally going to win!".

My favorite outfit of Christians was his first one on the runway. It was a tight black dress with that beautiful large tilted hat that had black feathers on the rim of it. The sillohuette was amazing. I just loved all of his cinched waists and skinny pants.

My sister and I were baffled by the judges reactions to Rami's collection. We thought his was horrible. Pretty much the only thing of his that I liked was that scarlett red silk(?) top one model wore with a skinny skirt. We were just flabbergasted that they thought it was tasteful beautiful. I thought his pieces were quite ugly and I was NOT impressed by the "weaving" like Heidi was. Never in a million years did we think that his would be considered better than Jullian's collection.

LOL I was so pumped after Christian's win that I forgot his last name and I could not think of it....until he said it on screen. Then I was like "I could totally see in magazines reading: Here is Gwyneth Paltrow in a Christian Seriano gown"

I just watched the show and...

My favorite was Jillian. I liked all of her clothes except for the gold pleated mini. Everything was wearable and everything was designed for a woman's body. However, she didn't have the "edge" or "haute couture" that I think the judges want. That said, I would buy and wear every dress she makes and I would rock the heck outta 'em!

I didn't most of Rami's collection... he did stick a lot of draping in and it was all around the girls' hips. I did, however, love his two evening gowns! I would buy and wear those, but the others? Heck, I don't have any hips and I kinda like it that way! I don't want to wear saddlebags on my thighs.

I don't see how Christian won unless you think "cohesion." His was the least wearable of any of the collections and 75% of it was black. While I have a pair of RR skinny black jeans that would look awesome with half of what he showed, the rest of what he showed was abysmal. The one short poufy dress made the girl look like an abominable snowman, and the long dress with the feathers did nothing for the model's body. Oh, and while his collection may have been "couture" I don't know many who could wear it.

While I do think the final 4 were the strongest of any season, I'm just not all that happy with the winner. And to be perfectly honest, he's not as cute as he thinks he is. Shudder... that word. STOP WITH THAT WORD!!!

I'm happy for Christian, I grew to like him through the season. I would have preferred Chris int he final 3 though.

I read Tim's blog and he said Chris used the hair because they have a strict policy of no fur on the show. I guess chris wanted to use monkey fur. So glad he couldn't. So, I wonder if the stuff Kara-Saun used in her season wasn't faux-fur?

Can we have the "Ab-Fab" duo as a judge next season? Can you not see Jennifer Saunders as Edina saying "LaCroix, darling. LaCroix!!!"

It bothers me that knowing it's human hair is so troublesome to me; I don't really understand why.
However, the thought of using monkey fur to me is abominable. If that was really Chris' first thought, he goes way down in my estimation. I just don't get the joy in wearing dead animals. I am so glad they have a no-kill policy on the show. But why does human hair seem so "creepy"?

And pardon my ignorance, but who are the "Ab-Fab" duo, please?

Ab-Fab is a British Comedy called Absolutely Fabulous. The 2 star characters were Patsy and Edina. Both are drunks and druggies, kinda post-hippyish lol. And Edina's fav designer is LaCroix.

from realityblurred....

Regarding this past season, says that season designer Victorya Hong “was sourpuss, a crabby apple as I keep saying, throughout almost all the show, other than Days 1, 2 and 3. She became this sour pill. Rich Bye, one of the executive producers, and I had two off camera interventions with her. I said to her, ‘You know what makes me beside myself is the fact that there are thousands of designers who would love to be in your place. What’ s the matter with you?’”
He says that Victorya was unprepared, and “said, ‘I never dreamed the experience of being on the show would be like this. … I never dreamed we’d only have a day for challenges, that we wouldn’t have any breaks.’ ‘But you said you saw the show.’ She said, ‘I assumed it was cheated.’ I said, ‘Then you only have your own delusions to blame.’ She was really angry and bitter.” Tim also reveals that Victorya demanded Tim count the designers’ cash at Mood because she thought some people were getting more than others, and got angry at other things. “She actually said about Jack’s departure that we had engineered him leaving because he wasn’t a pretty face anymore,” Tim says.

Runway’s Christian Siriano: I’ll Be Seeing Posh Next Week

How fierce was Wednesday’s Project Runway finale? Christian Siriano, 22, took the title, impressing the judges (including Victoria Beckham) with his couture-leaning collection. Calling from New York as his victory tour begins, Siriano opened up about crying on the runway, designing for Posh and what he plans to do with his $100,000 prize. –Brian Orloff

Congratulations on winning! Earlier, you won the audience award. Did you expect to win that title?
I was a little surprised. I knew I was up there just because my sassy commentary. Don’t get me wrong! I have lots of MySpace friends. I [thought] it was going to be me or Chris or Sweet P . . . I’m glad people don’t think I’m a sassy diva. I’m nice, and I love people. I just like to be sassy and funny. I know I made a lot of comments, but you know, every comment I made [about another designer], you heard it from the judges! So, I wasn’t worried.

A lot has been made of your age and you being the youngest Project Runway winner. Do you think that ever overshadows your work?
The fact that I am young is wonderful because a lot of young designers and people who watch the show are really supportive . . . I’m glad I can be a mentor for them. But in general, yes, my age comes up a lot. But as you can see on the show, age has nothing to do with it. Jillian’s 26 — and Sweet P’s 46 . . . Even though they’re successful, [it] doesn’t mean that I can’t be as successful even though I don’t have as much so-called experience. I don’t want people to think my age hinders me . . . [And] I forget how old I am sometimes. I’m kind of like, “Oh, I am still really young.”


It was a really authentic moment when you cried on the runway. Do you think it changed people’s perception of you?
I’m glad I got to show my emotions on the stage and in front of people because I’ve been sassy and really confident the whole season. I always say that Project Runway is my game; I can sew fast and be creative quickly. But Jillian and Rami had a long time to work [so for the first time, I was] Competing with people who had more time to do their work . . . I was exhausted. It was such a long day . . . [Standing there] I was confident. I thought my collection was really amazing and obviously the crowd loved it at the show . . . During the judging, the comments were amazing. I was so emotional because I was like, “Oh my god, what if I win? This is going to change my life.”

So, besides you, which of the other finalists deserved to win?
That’s easy. Jillian would have deserved to win just for the mere fact that she’s technically amazing and creative. I love her pieces. If I was a woman I would wear them. Don’t get me wrong, I might wear some of the jackets anyway . . . Rami’s successful. He has a business. He’s had it for years. He has dressed more celebrities than I can count on two hands, so I don’t really feel that [the title] was really that beneficial for him.

Victoria Beckham loved your collection. Have you two been in touch? Are you really going to design for her?
I’ll be seeing her next week, so I made her a few dresses. Hopefully she likes them, so we’ll see how it goes. I really don’t think I could have picked at this point a better judge and a better, fabulous person to dress and be in that moment with me. It was just perfect. After the filming, we chatted and she really said some amazing things. And it’s such an honor because she can wear any designer she wants.

Of course, you’re now $100,000 richer. What are you going to do with the money? And what’s next for you?
I’m definitely buying a bed. That will be the first purchase. But honestly I’m working very hard. I’m going to show next season at [Fashion Week] in the tents again. I have some sponsors . . . I really want to go more of a high fashion route. I want to be in high-end stores. I do want to do more wearable pieces that are more sellable and do something fun with another designer or another celebrity, but that will come maybe a little later — unless something comes up right away. Who knows? Maybe Victoria Beckham will ask me to work for her new label. You never know.

Thanks Texannie for those articles. Wow, Victorya really was the "crabby apple" I thought she was. Yuck. I can't believe she made Tim count their money at Mood. I think that's despicable.

Oh, Christian.. I just love him. I think they should have an All-Star PR soon. With just some fun challenges. Or I'd love to see a design show with Christian, and Santino and Andre from season 2. I just love those guys!

Here is the video for the theme song from Ab-Fab. It includes a lot of clips from the show.
I actually own this single, though I haven't listened to it in a long time.
I love it when Eddie goes into her names, names, names...
Those characters would "absolutely" fit into the Project Runway show.

I wondered why Victorya always looked like such a pill. I knew they said on the reunion show that she was "angry" over the Jack situation, but I could never figure out what she had to be angry about. I was a bit surprised at how Heidi and Tim were talking about how uptight she was right in front of her on the show, but now I don't blame them one bit. What a nasty atitude this woman turned out to have, and what a waste she made out of an amazing opportunity.

Not much of a response really, other than insinuating that Tim Gunn is somehow underqualified.

Whatever... How about explaining yourself and your behavior?

I'm guessing Victorya was upset that when Jack quit they brought Chris back. But, she probably wouldn't have been that upset had she been eliminated and they brought her back.

Hmmm about Victorya's comments. She seems a little full of herself.

Christian seems like he is really going to make it big in the fashion business--he's got the right couture leanings and eventually maybe mass appeal. Good for him!

WOW, so Victorya doesn't think Tim is qualified to give an opinion on women's fashion? Did anyone bother to tell Victorya that Tim is with Liz Claiborne?
