Project Runway Season 12 Episode 5

This week on Project Runway the designers had an innovation challenge where they had to create a high end mini collection from 1) A vintage wallpaper store; 2) A specialty foods store, or 3) A combination home goods & party store.

Lets cut thru the bullshit, there was one clear winner and he placed 2nd this past week, it was designer Bradon McDonald with his fabulous atelier wedding dress, which was to die for.

Bradon is clearly one of the top 3 finalist, anything less would be unacceptable and everyone knows it.

Love it Bradon, keep going!

Project Runway Season 12 Episode 4

This past week the designers were given the bow tie innovation challenge, to construct a dress using Bow Ties and incorporate the, "marriage equality" , theme.

Lets get into to it.



Sadly, one of my favorite designers, Sandro Masmanidi, bit the dust early in the season.  In this weeks competition he was safe but asked the judges for criticism and boy did they sure give it to him.  Tim Gunn should have been the voice of reason for Sandro earlier in the episode when he said, "don't worry about pleasing the judges and do you"  .  For the first 3 episodes the judges have questioned Sandro's taste so it came as no surprise thats what they went after on his critique. BUT ... and I will emphasize BUT .. Zac had a point when he called Sandro's work referential, which means we can all see influences of Jean Paul Gaultheir and Versace in there.  So Zac's main point was he that he didn't know who Sandro is as a designer.  Very true, all of PR's past top 3 three designers have had distinguishable points of view.  I would even say their p.o.v.'s were personality driven.  But any rate, it was very sad to see Sandro leave.



"Oh girl .... oh girl... " , is I thought when I saw Alexander Pope's rainbow inspired neck piece.  As we all know, the rainbow motif is the hardest to design because of the color variety, it has to be done just right or it can look a mess.  I just wasn't feeling Alexander's look this week, it came across too literal.



Emerging as a finalist in Season 12 is Dom Streater.  She really owes showing up in this weeks top 3 thanks to Tim Gunn.  Originally she was going to put these dark colored striped bow ties at the top but Tim was like, "oh no girl, thats got to go" .  And as you can see, she went with softer bow tie colors at top that better accentuated her dress.  Her point of view reminds me of Mondo Guerra, shes fun, whimsical, and has a super young aesthetic, I mean, seriously, look at the bow tie hair do, fabulous!



The designer to beat this season is Bradon McDonald.  He took those bow ties and made this bad ass top, mixing color and this tweed inspired Chanel jacket/shorts, very tasteful.

Abstinence

Last nght I saw this guy who I'm seriously attracted to and saw this red spot on his forehead and my first thought was, "does he have AIDS" ?  Because he looked like he had Kaposi sarcoma, a tumor that causes skin lesions.

But then he said it was a zit and I was like, "yeah right" .  Then he flashed his big beautiful eyes at me and everything was alright again.

If he does have the virus, I don't mind and would still fuck him.  I know, it sound like I have death wish, not at all, I'm just one of those people who refuses to live in fear of the AIDS epidemic.

Does this mean that I still want to suck his dick, yes, does this mean I still want him to fuck me, yes but with a condom of course.

Amazingly I'm almost 40 years old and so far, I've have managed to survive the AIDS epidemic and remain HIV negative.  Its not from a lack of trying either.

Over the years, I'm participated in many occasions of bare backing, high risk sex.anal and oral sex.

I did however catch the crabs back in 2000 and the whole experience was disgusting.  After that incident, I told myself I gotta start having sex with cleaner men in cleaner places.

This psychic once told me to date cowboys because they're cleaner but where am I going to find a cowboy in San Francisco?  I want a real cowboy at that and not some fucking sissy cowboy who only puts on her boots to line dance on the weekend. 

I need a real Brokeback Mountain cowboy like Ennis who knows how to put it down.  And when we're getting our freak on, Ennis is going to whisper into my ear, "I can't quit you" , and I'm going to whisper back, "I don't blame you" .

I went on stage last week and jokingly said, "I should have died from AIDS by now" , and then somebody heckled, "you still can" .

And then I was like, "well, you can't catch AIDS if no one's trying to fuck you" , which if you ask me, is a really fucked up way to practice abstinence.
