The pics are great. Some of our stars have not aged gracefully. Ms. Pistol needs some color in her face. Kristen looks like she's pregnant again (That glow!) and Santino looks horrid.
Who was that hottie with Uncle Nick?


Do I get points for recognizing Robert Best?

(And who are some of the rest, like the really really pale guy?)


who was that with Marla????


wow... so many that are not coming to mind. 15 minutes long ago over.


Refresh, darlings : )


THANK you TLo! I love seeing these pics.

My, my, my. Can we arrange an intervention for Blayne? He's a cutie, but he needs to stop it.

Raymundo looked great. Jeffrey needs to lose the porn mustache. Not that it would help anything.


John Wade? Seriously???


I can't believe that is John!!! His face is too washed out, but that chest!

Yum!


Jeffrey and Kit Pistol's boyfriend need to have a moustache-off!


Wow, John Wade looks like he took his face and frakenstined it to a different body.

Raymundo, I've been wondering where you've been. <3


Very nice! Blayne needs to stop tanning. Seriously. Wow! John lost a lot of weight. Good for him.


I love the porn-stache on Kit's b/f & the lovely trimmed one on Serge (Sweet P's hubby).

Jeffrey's looks like a prison-stache.

And I love mustache's.


Dear John,
The look ain't working.

Dear Raymundo,
I've missed you! You shoulda stayed longer.

Dear Jeffrey,
The 'stache is freak. Shave, you dunderhead.

Best,
Antares


Wow. It sure is a ringing endorsement of their memorability when you have to put the season number behind a select few names. Poor John and Marla. Even Morgan is more famous. (I must admit, I remember Marla but I don't remember John Wade at all. Who?)

I love how Korto is barely getting herself into that 2nd picture. She's so cute.

Kit Pistol's boyfriend would be cute without the disgusting 'ironic' moustache. That thing seriously makes me want to hurl. What is it, anyway? A walrus or a handlebar? UGH. I want to rip it off his face. (Kit could use some help herself. She looked much better on the show. She looks like a painted corpse now.)

Jeffrey...blech. Ditto on the 'stache. Who is that woman with him? Someone mentioned in a previous post that he dumped his girlfried/mother of his kid for some B movie actress or something.

LOVE Sweet P. Great to see her. Which one of those dudes is her husband?

Jerell's boots are fug. Once again, he just takes it a little too far. If he hadn't the chain, I could probably get behind them a lot easier.


John Wade looks scary!


I love Sweet Pea - it's great to see her again! She's so adorable. Not sure about her dress, though.

Emily's dress is really cute and flattering.


Korto looks pretty cute. The shoes are fierce.

Amanda is aging gracefully. Unfortunately, keyword being aging.

And Tia's outfit is from...Fredericks? Classy.


So Jeffery, (better know in these parts as "NeckBoy") how's that truly inspirational girlfriend and son that your life revolves around and who inspires your every waking moment? What? Hven't ween them in a while.....yeah....thought not.


Why don't I remember who John is?!?!? Santino almost looks sick - I hope he's alright. A LOT of strange facial hair at that party!! lol It was nice to see e1 though - it really was. Thanks Daddies!!


Add me to the list of those who didn't know who John was. I had to look him up, and then I remembered, oh he's the "tiny tie" guy! The one who wore his neckties way too short and was auf'd first.


Jesus Christ, with the exception of Korto, these people look like circus freaks. I wouldn't trust any of them to make a dress for me.

Yep. That's what I thought too.

But to be fair to the angry little peanut, he fussed a lot about his son Harrison being his reason for living, but had little to say about the girlfriend. Maybe things weren't too good between them to begin with. For all we know, he may be with other women now but spends a good amount of time with his kid. I really hope that's the case. Hate to think he dumped them both after winning the $$ and fame.


Are you sure that's Jeffrey? I thought it looked more like Sonny Bono.

Blayne scares me.


where the fuck is christian!?


"Jeffrey and Kit Pistol's boyfriend need to have a moustache-off!"

I thought the same thing. Did they wander in from the overgrown mustache enthusiasts' convention?


Jeffrey's still a jerkwad.


John or Joe Wade= Creepy


Where's Kenley?


Blayne looks like one of the Gotti brothers. Lay off the tanning!!! He looked so much better towards the end of his PR stint.


Somebody should tell Jeffrey that the Wyatt Earp look is out of style.


It looks like a stupid dull party. What else could it be without the Project Rungay Boys? They should have sent you tickets. Tightwads.


I barely recognized Santino!


Thanks Sewhat,
Thought the same thing dis-liked him and his clothes, green/white zippered dress the exception.

Still gives off the Big Jerk vibe even thought the pictures....


I love Jerell but WTF is he wearing?


FashionFanatic

I love candid shots. Thanks, Tlo! Where's Heidi?

Christian had to attend an event in NY.


Where's Leanne and Kenley? It seems odd that the finalists weren't all there.

And I hate, hate, hate Jeffrey's mustache. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.


What is with Santino and the greasy pedophile hair?


who is that girl with wesley and why wasn't daniel there?


Was this at the LA finale party?

Love the pic of SweetP & Elisa!

Now off to look up John Wade in the archives.....


Okayyyy......there's only one post in the archives with John Wade. No pic, just his first name in the title. LOL!

Ooo, I wonder if mini bottles were in the swag bag.


Are you kidding me? John Wade looks hot as hell!


One man's hot is another man's not.


TLo, Bravo should have sent you there so we could all get the dirt on everyone--
ugly mustaches, strange looks and all.

It's not a party without TLo!


The woman beside Jeffrey is Cassandra Church, who I believe is now his wife.


I don't know who John Wade is, but he's got the way too practiced frozen expression that Christian adopts whenever there's a photographer lurking. Blue Steel, I think.


John Wade? Wow. I wouldn't have recognized him in a million years.

Also, I think Li'l Peanut looks like an extra in "Boogie Nights."

Thanks for the pics!

Where is Stella and Ratbones?

She's my fave!


Elisa looked really pretty, but I think she borrowed the boots from Jerry's crazy nurse outfit this season... Other than that, she just glows.

But what a bizarre grab bag of mustaches...


Doesn't seem like much of a finale party if they don't have all the finalists there. How lame is that?


questionable facial hair all around.


I remember reading that Jeffery's girlfriend/baby mama dumped HIM soon after he won. The women he is with is his wife. They recently got married.


Suede and Emily -- cute picture!


And did anyone else think Suede and John Wade sort of go together?


First of all, Santino I MISS you!! I loved seeing Raymundo, also. He was one of my favorites from season 2, and he left much too early...glad to see him looking great! John Wade....wow. Calm down, dude. You are trying way too hard. Anyways, it is awesome to see some of the old faces again, but I HAVE to ask...What happened to Adrae?????=)


What's with all of these mustaches? I think Tia's is the worst.


potty mouth princess

Ewwwww....muttonchops are back? They looked shitty in the 1890's and they look worse on every man sporting them in those pics.

Shit, Santino looks great by comparison.

Flove Amanda. I still remember her balking at going red but she's embraced it as her signature and I couldn't be happier with her success.

Robert! Squee! Ditto Uncle Nick and his hottie. Speaking of partners, where was Daniel? Has the Wes/Daniel ship sailed or is he shy?

SweetPea, I love you to PEAces, but dear, there comes a time when the upper arms need to be covered. As a woman of approximately your certain age, that time is now.

As I listen to the Clash... xoxoxo


So, the gal pal with Wesley is a designer?

Blaine looked bad, much too thin and much too tan.

Jeffrey? Yuck! Ditto Santino. Time has not been good to either of them IMHO

Certainly there were more PR people there than represented here, I hope.


potty mouth princess

Forgot, Blayne looks older than Joe or my OWN brother Blaine, who is 42. He is HAWT. CALL ME!!!! :-) Failing that, our hostessess with the mostesses can hook us up via email (as friends).

*I can dream, can't I?*

Miss Jerreldene, I love you but you baffle the hell out of me. As long as you stay sweet, I'll forgive your....eclectic...style sense. xoxoxoxo

I don't even remember the guy with Marla from S2. I guess they never air his episode any longer. I know Malan Breton from Taiwan went out second, but can't for the life of me remember who went out in the "Clothes Off Their Backs" episode. Must have been him. Hell, I remember Marla and didn't last much longer.

I'd love a Dirty Diana update. A sew-off between some of the more structural contestants from past seasons would be intriguing. Jaybird can deliver (Chrysler Building dress is still an iconic standout), Chloe, Jillian and of course Judy Noodles.

I guess I DO have an aesthetic as I own a Jaybird bookbag/tote and a few Chloe tops (always get compliments). I'd buy anything Diana, Jills or Leanne produces, if it is affordable. Floved Miss Emmett's bags, but I can't justify the purchase when I have 30 other bags to serve the same purpose.

Almost forgot the shout out to Robert! Between Uncle Nick's Barbie and the notion you likely made that happen, I think of both of you everytime I look at my beach girl Barbie standing about 8 feet from me as I type. :-)

Darlings, please delete comment I made at 12:49. Dinosaur that I am, I can't figure out how to do it.

loveyameanit! XOXOXO


honesty.not.pc

OMG Santino and Jeffrey. I just don't have the words. Lets just say time has not been kind.


Did Wesley switch teams??


jeffrey's mustache is horrible!!!


I am over ironic facial hair, and judging by the few comments I already read, most would agree.

Wesley Nault is still the cutest f*cking thing to ever grace a television screen. I'm usually not into guys of the super slim body type, but the guy is an impeccable dresser (Tim Gunn protege material, I'm telling you).


potty mouth princess said... I know Malan Breton from Taiwan went out second, but can't for the life of me remember who went out in the "Clothes Off Their Backs" episode.Must have been him...

I remember it was Kristen. She did not want to use her scarf because it was handed down to her and was special to her. Understandable, imo. Also, that was the episode when Andre started crying on the runway and going on and on, remember?


Lovely: Sweet P, Jerell, Elisa, Amanda, Nick, Wesley

Scary: Jeffrey, Santino, Blayne

I actually dug Jerell's boots, especially since they seem to be his only real adornment. He's not wearing any jewelry that I can tell (okay, one bracelet), and his clothes are understated as well. So hey, why not wear some crazy Mad Max boots with it? I do like Jerell's personal style, even if I sometimes don't like his designs.


I was watching "after the sew" w/ Andy, and Leanne and Kenley were on there. So I guess that explains where they were.

And, Daniel was also there, and said Wesley was coming back to NYC the next day, so I think they're still together:)


Lots more about John Wade's current activity on Uncle Nick's party blog as well as a picture of Blayne that shows what tanning can do.

http://nickverreos.uber.com/


DEEPEST thanks to you two for including the boots/pants shot of Jerrell. He's got to keep working that oddly appealing Mad-Max-Russian-Cossack ballet dancer look while he can. As he ages I think it'll slide over into Miss Havisham at her cobwebbed wedding feast & it is not going to be nearly as appealing.

Wesley is sure gonna be even handsomer once he gets past looking somewhere between 13 and 16. (Yes, I'm sure opinions vary on that.)

As has been said, too bad Blayne is over-tanning again. & it looks real, not spray-on. Skin cancer dude. Unsightly dark blotches. Not to mention those little crepey, spidery wrinkles all over. At 40.

Glad to see so many looking so well, and many actually as if they were enjoying themselves. (Not always the case at these parties for promotional purposes.)


too many cats, thanks for the link. John Wade's photos look soooo much better on Nick's site. Maybe the bright flash caught him wrong on some of the party pics here? I didn't realize how handsome he was until I saw the other photos. Wow!


potty mouth princess said... SweetPea, I love you to PEAces, but dear, there comes a time when the upper arms need to be covered. As a woman of approximately your certain age, that time is now.

this is america. everyone has the right to bare arms. ;)

but really it depends on the woman not age. sweetpea in only her her 40s, please! that's not elderly. unless there is a lot of flab or cellulite dripping off one's limbs, they are perfectly fine out and about. there are women in their 50s with awesome toned bodies who can dazzle in strappy numbers. they inspire me because I don't ever want to feel the need to cover up anything. 20 yrs from now if bingo wings start creeping up on me I'll be at the gym lifting weights. no way am I going to cover up, not til I'm a cute little granny!


Jeffrey dumped Melanie within a very short time of the end of PR and married Cassandra Church this year, seen in the photo with J and SweetP. The new Mrs. Jeffrey looks a bit like his PR muse, model Maralinda (sp?) who it's rumored he was 'quite fond of', and is the polar opposite of Melanie. Wonder where poor little Harrison Detroit is in all of this romantic shuffle?


im quite disturbed at being able to see korto's nipples so clearly in the last pic!!!


Sweet P looks so great, but my heart belongs to Nick. He and his partner are such an amazingly handsome couple. And I can't believe the John Wade transformation...not only thinner and probably healthier, but looks a bit, well, sleezy, especially compared with his previously sweet visage. Despite mustaches, everyone looks great (although I want to feed Blayne and keep him out of the tanning booth for a few days) ;)


Holy handlebars, Batman!


i love korto's 'b*tch, pleez' look.

jerrell, please take your outfit back to the thunderdome. thanks.


What is wrong with Blayne's face? Tanning bed accident?


Santino got plugs!


Where is Keith, Terry or Daniel? Did they have to provide their own transportation


Blayne is a sweetheart. I'll never understand his style and that whole liscious thing made me gag. But this kid is a good soul. A mensch.

Honestly, the term tanorexic is very true here. He may feel a need to be darker and darker and doesn't see himself as golden enough. Blayne, honey, don't age yourself like this. It's not healthy and it doesn't look good. It's ok to lighten it up a bit. You look so much better with a lighter tan. You're a cute and sweet guy. Be careful there.


"Dara said...

Straight out of a Robert Palmer video!


Emily looks like Pebbles Flintstone.

Kit looks great, I think.

Sweet P and Stella should do a line together called: "Ratbones & Sage."

Nick and his man are too goodlooking.


Raymundo is ADORABLE! Same signature style, which is great. Just supercute. But I can't help notice the pursed smile-- still haven't gotten the teeth fixed? Poor dear.

Santino... Ugh. I have to look away. And I had always found him strangely attractive. Not so much now. Maybe he heard Andrae wasn't coming, otherwise he would have cleaned up a bit.

6:07 PM

Probably little Harrison is getting lots of attention from both of his 'rents, even though they split.

Is Jeffrey wearing the moustache, is it wearing him?


Oh! And everyone, look again at Jerell's boots. They're actually not that crazy. Those chains are actually on the kneepads of his knickers. Cause yeah, that's so much better.


Wheres is Stella? I was looking forward to seeing what she wore to the party.


Blayne needs to donate some of his tan to Kit Pistol.


i ususally cant wait to see the post party photos, but with TLO not being there & some of our other faves, its just not the same :(


perhaps the west coast pr alums were representing? huggy bear also not there?

love the pics tho. I thought kenley said daniel was living with her (after the sew phone call) making it sound very much like he and wesley were no more. . .


MARLA!!!


Robert!! SQUEE!!!

John Wade: We get it, you kept the weight off. No need to dress like Rough Eurotrade to bullhorn it. Oh, and CALL ME!

Thank you for showing us Jerell's boots. Until that pic, I was convinced he was wearing a low-cut dress.

Is it me, or do Jeffrey and Santino look like they both came from the same truckstop where they've been giving handjobs for Big Macs? Yeah, it's probably me...

OMG. I almost choked on my dinner! Toooo funny!!


How come more designers weren't there, daddies?


Who doesn't love Korto? Proving that bigger than a 2 can be FABULOUS. Although I can see her nipples in one pic and it's a bit much. Not her fault though.

Jeffrey. What can I say that hasn't been said? Without his adorable son and stunningly balanced-seeming (ex) girlfriend, he's just a pouty adolescent. With ironic facial hair that somehow manages to be the exact opposite of irony: predictable and devoid of any sort of wit.


what the HELL IS TIA WEARING>!?!?!

her skin looks awful and that dress is hoochie!
