Yee-haw, boys and girls, "Project Runway" is back! After a long, dark period I will only refer to as "the unpleasantness," "Project Runway" saddled up and moved on over to Lifetime seamlessly. What a joy to have all the regulars on hand for what is one of the best episodes of “PR” I have seen in a long time. Tim’s here! Yay! Heidi, looking beautiful while dishing out huge helpings of schadenfreude (delight at other people’s misfortune). Michael Kors, the ever-glowing tangerine God of Fashion, and Nina Garcia, now at Marie Claire and sharpening her claws on a new crop of diverse designers.

Let’s get this out of the way: Yes, it is filmed in Los Angeles ... but so far that doesn’t seem to have affected a thing; in fact, the first challenge is pretty fabulous because of L.A.: The designers are taken to the red carpet of the Emmys, and given the challenge of designing a red-carpet gown of their choice with two days and $200. All the familiar fun ensues that makes us addicted to this stuff — sketching in the workroom (now at FIDM and bigger than ours!), a half hour to shop at Mood (yay! Mood!), and let the drama begin. All under the lilting tones of a certain Mr. Gunn, whom we have sorely missed.

Meet the designers: Ra’mon (the serious med student); Logan (the guy’s guy, letting us know in no uncertain terms that he is straight); Johnny (former drug addict who tried out for the show several times, but made it now that he is clean. Read: drama); Gordana (Yugoslavian tough-chick who will win even if she has to make her dress out of potatoes and corn); Malvin (one word: Sanjaya); Qristyl (oooh honey, step back, cuz Miss Q doesn’t mess around with skinny girls, she is size “plus-sexy”); Shirin (sweet to the point of diabetic coma); Nicolas (the self-acclaimed “Feather Prince” — Good Luck); Mitchell (every show has one, the all-American cutie); Ari (techno-chick who’s tragically into “Blade Runner” Chic); Louise (trapped-in-vintage-land Louise Brooks channeler); Irina (into leathah); Carol (this season’s Kenley? Pixie-couture airhead); Epperson (serious dreads and seems to be the oldest of the bunch); Althea (Cocky with a capital “C,” sure she is the next Christian, Vivienne Westwood, McQueen, blah blah blah); and finally, Christopher (self-taught and second runner-up in the cutie category). We met Christopher last — any predictions?

Some workroom fun that was music to my ears: Ari saying “I don’t sketch” ... Johnny having a drug-free meltdown with Tim coming to save the day and dry his tears ... Mitchell may be our new cryer ... Malvin claiming his garments are “ineffable” and beyond description (Oh, I can describe them alright). The best moment of the show? Qristyl can’t find anyone to cut her fabric at Mood, so she buys a pair of scissors and CUTS IT HERSELF! Way to make it work, Miss Q! Reality-show gold!

The dresses are coming along, and there’s a joyous visit from Saint Tim (do I hear angels when he enters the workroom?), and we begin to see what these designers are all about. Johnny says he will use “spit and gum” to finish his hideous dress if he has to. Tim calls Christopher’s work a “cruise-line cocktail waitress,” Ari is tragically channeling Blayne by making a halter diaper dress and Mitchell is making some sort of Victorian caftan out of coffin lining. Miss Q has completely missed with her quasi–Carmen Miranda wedding dress, and on the morning of the runway show, Mitchell has to start over from scratch and decides to go for a Lady Godiva look and send his model down the runway nude.

Oh Rapture! The Runway! Another byproduct of the L.A. location ... Lindsay Lohan is the guest judge! Here come the dresses!

• Althea: Silver, pretty, nice and safe.
• Gordana: Short blue-green dress with origami floating device around the bust.
• Malvin: Beige burlap scaly ugly boring dress fit for a prison wedding.
• Mitchell: Sheer (butt cheeks on parade) caftan that would make a great maternity dress for JLo.
• Louise: Dress made of drapes with a flowered growth on the shoulder.
• Christopher: ’80s prom dress made of garbage bags and Kleenex.
• Ra’mon: Fabulous eggplant taffeta gown that you could see on the most fabulous star on the Oscars red carpet.
  Shirin: Cutesy, short, safe.
• Epperson: More purple, but this one is the wrong way to do it.
• Irina: Literally drapes that the model keeps tripping over.
• Ari: Ridiculous space suit that wouldn’t pass for fashion in any year in the future.
• Johnny: This tragedy looks like a piece of fabric blew onto the model in a windstorm and was held in place by pieces of chewing gum.
• Qristyl: Ouch. I love Q, but this is hideous. How hideous? Kenley would love it.
• Logan: Silver, boring and monotone like his voice.
• Nicolas: Short, black plastic/rubber body condom. No feathers, go figure.

 

The decisions are made, the delicious drama spills forth in classic PR fashion. Did I agree with their decisions on who they kept on the runway? Yes. But I seriously disagree with their commentary on the top and the bottom looks ... but that’s what makes the show addictive. You want to scream at Nina, pull Heidi’s hair out, wipe the orange off of Michael Kors, and force-feed Lindsay Lohan. We all agreed Miss Q was a wreck, but she’s too fun to get rid of: In. Johnny: In. Are you serious? This same dress has gotten many designers eliminated, but they obviously keep him for what they hope will be more drug-free drama. Ra’mon: In. They called this dress “safe,” even though it was obviously the most beautifully realized piece on the show. Mitchell: In. They gave him a break. Plus they know all the gay men watching the show would be mad if they eliminate the cutest designer. Ari: OUT. What glee to hear Michael Kors call this ugly piece of garbage a “disco soccer ball.” I am swooning with delight. The winner? Christopher. Oh my God. This dress is one pair of fingerless gloves away from the prom scene in any John Hughes movie. (See photo.)They would normally rake this thing over the coals, but to keep us talking about the controversy, they chose to reward the self-taught naive boy who now thinks he’s got a shot at winning. But that’s why we love the show. “Project Runway” is back in all its glory. We can’t get enough of the delicious punishment, drama, hopes and dashed dreams of “Project Runway.”

And, ultimately, of life. See ya soon, Chris

Both superstar J.Lo and newcomer Adam Lambert took some nasty tumbles last night while performing at the American Music Awards. So the question is, who do you think recovered better?

Here's J.Lo's fall, around the 1:40 mark:


And here's Adam's misstep, around the 1:40 mark:

Both of these models-turned-actresses have perfected the art of the pout and the sexy, parted-down-the-middle bed-head look. But can you tell which blonde with long-layered tresses is which?

Since leaving "American Idol," Paula Abdul has really upgraded her fashion game. Her black gown at last night’s American Music Awards was Oscar-worthy. But not one to leave ALL the crazy at home, Paula’s dress required two handlers to move her down the red carpet (pic below). Let’s hope she didn’t have to use the restroom last night.

Rihanna is the reigning queen of dramatic style, and the laser-cut roses in her Marchesa dress reminded me of the Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland."

Alicia Keys loves color and stood out among last night’s many black and silver dresses in her blue Giorgio Armani jewel-encrusted dress and coordinated heels. I love this look for a music awards event since it has a bit of flash and edge.

Carrie Underwood wore another great Theia dress that showed off her love of shine, while Nicole Kidman (who was at the event to support husband Keith Urban) chose a lace Balenciaga dress that was ideal for the actress’s feminine, sophisticated style.

Check out Paula's personal dress handlers:

Twitter was aflutter during the 2009 American Music Awards last night with one resounding question: No, not "Did you or didn't you catch J Lo's dance-number tumble (ouch!)?", but "Was sassy country crooner Carrie Underwood wearing a Carol Hannah Whitfield design from her "Project Runway" Fashion Week collection during her performance of 'Cowboy Casanova'?"

So, was she or wasn't she? And who would be able to answer this question better than Carol Hannah herself, who received images of the singer's outfit from inquisitive fans: "I'm not sure whether to be happy and flattered or upset for being possibly copied — and rather poorly at that. Shorts???"

Perhaps Carrie's Carol Hannah–esque stage look was inspired by all those frequently flier miles she racks up? Her design was recently featured in Sky magazine's blurb on New York Fashion Week:

For more of Carol Hannah's (real) designs, check out her site, carol-hannah.com.

Rihanna gave fans a mere glimpse of what was to come on the red carpet at last night's American Music Awards. The singer, who made her AMA debut wearing a stencil-cutout Marchesa gown, later took the stage braving a bandage-strip body suit that just barely covered her, well, you know.

It seems the richer singers (aka Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Amy Winehouse) get, the more they're willing to pay for less clothing. Fascinating!

Singer (and now, legitimate actress) Mariah Carey helped turn on the holiday lights at a shopping center in London on November 19, but her choice of outfit may get her a lump of coal in her stocking come December.

Oh, Mariah, your acting career is back on track with your highly praised role in the film “Precious.” But sadly, there are only bad reviews for your mini sweater. And, is that a spandex catsuit? Mimi, let’s leave that look for Amber Rose.

There is nothing worse than showing up a at party to see another guest wearing your dress. And if you have ever attended a formal affair, where floor grazing styles are "de rigueur" ("requested"), you know the odds are against you making a completely unique fashion statement at the event (unless you are Rihanna).

At the recent Academy Of Motion Pictures And Sciences Governors Awards Gala on November 16, actresses Abbie Cornish (in Christian Dior) and Amy Smart both donned similar halter styles gowns in jewel tone shades of amethyst and jade, but each stood out in their look.

This week was all about...classic gowns and killer cocktail dresses. And the winners are...

Dakota Fanning working it in a strapless Valentino dress at “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” Premiere in Los Angeles. The saga newbie managed to upstage, well everyone, in this mature, yet youthful number. Sassy!

Kate Beckinsale in a teal-colored Andrew Gn gown worn to the MOCA 30th Anniversary Gala. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is the best I've seen Kate look, and she looks great 99% of the time.

Heidi Klum rocking a geometrical body-hugger at the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show After Party. Just weeks after giving birth to yet another child, Heidi's bod managed to rise to the occasion and then some.

Ashley Greene in Prabal Gurung at “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” Premiere in Los Angeles. While this gown may be simple, its shape and color are nothing short of sensational. Ashley's certainly been having a great week.

Eva Mendes strutting it in a black and tan Miu Miu dress at the MOCA 30th Anniversary Gala. The embellishments along the bodice of this otherwise conservative sheath add an edgy, yet still glamorous, touch.
