Anthony "HotLanta" Williams for a top three spot!

TampaBay

got to go with lynette as the first to go. as a fellow far-norther, not sure she's got the skin to survive

-chonb

I have no faves yet, but I am *trembling* with anticipation.

YAY! What a hot bar!! Very space age modern - I'll wear my 60s go-go boots in honor.

No predictions yet. I'm just SO happy to have PR7 on to hopefully wash away the rotting stench of PR6.

TLo, Where is the PRIZE for this episode??? Where is the contest? I have my pitchfork and torch ready! LOL! LOL!

TampaBay

I'm so excited! I have my dulce du leche Haagen Daaz ready to go... :)

it's so exciting!!! even here in the suburbs of Washington DC the buses have Heidi and Tim's pictures on them to celebrate the new season!!!
I haven't had time to read all the new designers bios, so I don't have a fav yet, but probably after tonight's episode some of them will emerge....
I know it's a little early, but we're in the TLO lounge, what the heck! since we are in Italy, give a Sambuca! :-)

I can't decide who goes first tonight, but after sitting through TFS, LML and the wake that was PR season 6, I need drink, and a strong one.
Whiskey neat please.

I'm rooting for Jonathan : ) I'm so excited!!!

Oh, I'd say Maya is the winner and Jesse is auf tonight.

Boys, does "The Nina" have anything to do with the contestant with the best JBF hair!?

The Gunn Safety Award sounds promising.

Anywhoo, I don't have any favorites yet, and usually I don't have one until a few episodes in.

Thank you boys for TLounge - I will be relying on it since I am going cable-less after this weekend!

Where's my amaretto sour? Who on earth am I going to snog with?

I'm rooting for Mila all the way! I think Anna's clothes are sweet & hope she does well. I predict either Jay or Amy as first win & Christine or Jesus as first 'auf.

contest, contest. pleeeease!!!

i have no idea darlings but let me order that bottle of champagne. anyone want to join me?
xo

No guess tonight, I haven't really studied the designers. I haven't even made my tracking chart yet.

A nice beer for me, please.

Oooh, I have avoided paying too much attention to when it was going to start so the anticipation wouldn't kill me outright, but...yay!

I'm just happy that it is back in NYC - I couldn't get into it when it was in LA! I have no favorites (yet!) - but I'm in for a dirty martini, on the rocks, extra olives!!

Oh, and any gay mixed drink will do-- but not a cosmopolitan!! I'm not that femme.

Snogging... I love that word.

Ping Wu for the win! :D

Ping all the way!!

This looks to be a nice relaxing TV night: Keith, Rachel & PR. What more could a girl want?

I think the first Auf will be Jerry Tam. Yes, I know what you're thinking; technically he's not even a contestant this season. But I think his Stepford/Silkwood Wife garment was such that it should be the first Auf every season.

--GothamTomato

TLo~

Since Planet Fabulon has closed, where are you getting your fab lounge pics from these days?

This looks to be a nice relaxing TV night: Keith, Rachel & PR. What more could a girl want?


GT-what a line-up, indeed!

I'll just settle for my usual glass of red wine while anticipating the first of this season's Ninacaps from TLo!

awww, I'm in Croatia and can't watch the premier until tomorrow!!! Enjoy it for me!!! can't wait!!!

oh, and W00T FOR PING WU!!!

***********************************

Same here, mommyca. This morning when I left for work the very first thing I laid my eyes on was a bus passing my building featuring Tim & Heidi. It's a balmy & delightful forty-one degrees out, so it's a beautiful day for the kick-off of PR7. I can't decide who will go first, but, it had better not be that sweetie, Anthony Williams from Atlanta. I don't think so because he's been featured in way too many promos for the show. I'm so excited, I think I'll start off with a Smith & Wesson because it sounds so fierce. Love the bar, love PR, love TLo.

edina

I'm thinking the auf will go to either Jesse, Anna, or Janeane. Possibly Pamela - but she's too much of a character to go on the first round.

For the win: Mila, Ben, or Jonathan.

Love the lounge, what a place to hang out!

Can't wait for tonight, I feel like doing handsprings and backflips! It seems like such a long time without the Holy Trinity of Gunn, Garcia and Kors! Or is that Unholy?

Mr. LeNoir is the first to go home. I have NO idea who will win. So excited to see the show tonight! Squeeeeeeee!

What a lovely spot you've chosen for us to hob-nob. I'll have a vodka martini, dirty.

Wishing you all a great night watching PR7.

I'm on the other side of the pond so have to wait til tomorrow, unless I go into labour...then it'll be 10 years before I catch up.

I'm having a dirty martini in my head..while I'm there I'm a size 2 and wearing Jay's Chrysler Building dress.

*must keep baby in for 24 more hours..need Tim Gunn fix*

The pink jacket I'm wearing today is a nice contrast to our bibulizing surroundings.

I think Jesse's not too long for this season, but I'm just going to revel in the return to New York and the reappearance of The Duchess and NINAGARCIA.

My drink? A Manhattan, what else?

All the best,

NDC

Ooh - pour me a blue curacao martini (to match the decor) and pencil me in for a Mila win and an Amy early auf.

And I'm still trying to figure out my damned blogger login.

Ms_flyover

I am totally down with GT's lineup. We must have been separated at birth, but she grew in to a cool metro person, and I...well...I did remember to set up the machine to record. I'm so uncool, I don't have a DVR, but I do record DVDs. Can't wait! May have to get up early to watch.

HOORAY! I am beyond excited! I think Pamela will be out, and Mila will win. If I'm right, I want an autographed photo of TLo. ;)

To shinything,

Yikes, good luck and hopes for an obstetrician with small hands! There are always re-runs, but some events cannot be time-shifted! ;-)

All the best (truly),

NDC

Le'me tell ya'll how bad I need this show to be on again!
1. I got called for jury duty.
2. Paris Hilton has come out with a perfume called "Siren".
3. I hit Mr. Siren's truck when I was backing out of the drive way. Which pretty much guarentees me a spot in the dog house for the rest of my life.
4. I had to use the Chapstick that someone took a bite out of, because I couldn't find my Blisstex.
Top that!

Tonights drink special:

Manhattan.

What else? Drink up. Hip Hooray!!

Oh, I love this bar...it's so mod and so relaxing.

I am still prepping my flashcards but I honestly think Jesse LeNoir will suffer most from inexperience in time management and get auf'd.

I will take an amaretto sour with a dash of pure glee.

I don't have a favorite yet, but I'm ready to go with a glass (all right, a bottle)of my favorite cabernet....let the games begin!

Thanks NDC. I'm not worried about the birth..I don't care if they have to saw me in half like a magician's assistant!

"Tonight's drink special: Manhattan." Oh, Sewing Siren, good for you! Back-in-Manhattans for all!

This gorgeous bar looks like the perfect place to relax, swill booze, and enjoy (hoping! hoping!) the rebirth of our favorite show.

Simply cannot wait for 9 PM Central!

I think Ping Wu for the win and LeNoir for the Auf.

Absolutely at random, I'm guessing Ping wins tonight, never to win again. No clue about the loser, not even at random.

Looking at that winebar, even tipsy Italians must have great depth perception. I can imagine being gone for hours trying to find my way back from the ladies'

I can't run to (even virtual) drinks for the house, but I offer a round of hearty bar snacks.

Based on personal style alone (let's call it the swimsuit contest) I want Mila for the win and Pamela for the auf.

YAY! So glad to see T-Lounge back! The first thing I thought about this morning was YAY project runway tonight and T-lounge! :)

Ciao, darlings! I'll be arriving late, but I'll need something stiff by then (a drink, I mean a drink), so somebody ease save me seat and a glass, okay?
Can't wait! xox, BB

I'm just so happy the show is back home in NYC that I have NO opinion at this point on the winner/loser!!
Got to see the designers in action, speaking of which, I will join the other Manhattan orderers, please!!!

"Black, gay, in the ghetto" Anthony just slays me! I think he's my fave rave so far.

Bartender, I would like an extra dry Ketel One Martini with four olives, please! Bill, where are you dear? What would you like? Put it on my tab.

"mommyca said: it's so exciting!!! even here in the suburbs of Washington DC the buses have Heidi and Tim's pictures on them to celebrate the new season!!!"





They are really going all out to promote this season. It almost seems like last season, they just tried to slip under the door. I feel bad for last season's designers, who didn't get the full PR experience.

--GothamTomato

Best of luck, Shinything. Years ago I had a short lived job as a magician's asst. So short lived that while I learned the secret of the disappearing girl, I never did get to find out how they do the sawing in half illusion. Damn.

Jesus for the WIN and Pamela for AUF.

TDinC

Off to open a celebratory bottle of the best champagne!

"Sewing Siren said: Tonights drink special: Manhattan."




Or how about Gray's Papaya (spiked) with hot dog chasers, of course.

Thanks BB.

I believe the secret is general anesthetic :P

Jesus, Amy, & Mila in the top three with Jesus for the WIN!
. . . Pamela, Emilio, & Jay in bottom with Pamela being AUF!

TDinC

Don't have a favourite yet but please bring on the vodka!

Season 7 back in NYC!!! Woo! Hoo!!

Gray water hot dogs, nice!

I'll have to have a Long Island iced tea, I have too many kids and too much crap to live in the city.

My thoughts are with you Siren. In your honor, I'll down a few Maker's Manhattans.

With absolutely no other knowledge (I only watched one video on the blog): I will go with Ping FTW and Anthony as the FTG.

Oooh! EW just reported that the Duchess hauls out an impersonation that is hilarious. The word "guffaw" was used.

I'm intrigued.

There are too many of them to guess this week. But, I love a salty dog!

No predictions but based on their portfolios the ones who should be aufed early are Jesus, Jesse, Christiane, Emilio and maybe Seth Aaron and Pamela.

The ones who look like serious contenders to me are Anna, Ping, Amy, Maya and maybe Mila.

And I hope Anthony stays around forever because he's just a delight!

Still slightly hungover from last night, but I'm so excited for tonight that I think a drink is in order.

I'd like an entire bottle of champagne (if only I were on the rooftop of Atlas apartments) and about 6 Advil please.

Emilio first to go.
Mila for the win.

Thurston - Bottom 3. The "we hated your stuff but still didn't auf you" person.

SO excited. I'll have to go home and review all the designers' portfolios before I even think about participating in the guessing game this time around. Maybe this year I'll actually give it a shot :P.

Ping Wu for the win! Can't wait to see her in action.

No early favs because i am ALWAYS wrong--just have to wait and see.

Another appletini for me! =D

I think both Ping and Mila will do well. Jesse may be the first to go--or the older chick (I forget her name...Pamela?)
Since I'll be watching from the "hinterlands" of Wisconsin, I should have a beer (Pilsner Urquell, of course) but my liquor of choice is Russian vodka. On the rocks with an olive.
Cheers to PR S7!!

PS I'd have Estonian vodka, but it's just not as good as Russian (don't tell my mom that...)

I was going to have the same as Gorgeous Things, but I feel a bit like celebrating so... Taittinger all around please!

Raising my glass to a shiny new season, designers with personality and style, the return to NYC, and the joys of new TLo reviews!

My favs this season (and for now) are Anna, Ping Wu and Jesse LeNoir .
No idea for the auf, pity one has to go away so early!

- Dan

Oh! So looking forward to PR7 and getting the foul taste of season 6 out of my mouth! I hated nearly everything about last season (I'm an Angeleno, too!). Can't wait to have Princess and Nina back where they belong!

Does "snogging" mean the same in the US as in the UK?

I can't wait! So excited!!

Wait no contest? Oh well.

I like Anna, Johnathan and Seth Aaron and picked them for my lifetime "dream team". As for who is auf I have no idea but I'd be willing to bet its one of those with the weaker portfolios who were just brought on for kicks.

Only for you, Tlo, have I made the ultimate sacrifice - I signed up for Twitter just to get the extra bits. Facebook is a step too far.

So excited and hopeful to see the old PR rather than the last version!

Or how about Gray's Papaya (spiked) with hot dog chasers, of course.

--GothamTomato

You know, I miss not the hot dogs (we have pretty good ones down here with coldslaw)nor the Gray's Papaya, but I miss the Ratner's soup cart like a son-of-bitch. That Cabbage soup was sooo good. I'll probably dream about it tonight.

I'm so excited I can't make a decision! So I'll have one of those Manhattans and just enjoy the ride for tonight.

I am unreasonably thrilled to see the T LOunge open for business and serving once again.

I've got my fingers crossed for a fantastic season. I'll be sipping a glass of wine and expect to thoroughly enjoy the show. No official favorites yet for me - I'll give it a couple of episodes.

Jesse LeNoir (hahaha, porn name!) is my pick to go home.

I will celebrate conservatively with a Dubonnet Rouge on the rocks. With a twist. And maybe just a smidgeon of gin, the way the dear Queen Mother enjoyed it.

BookieBookie

Am laughing so hard -- love this blog! Now mixologists, if I were to serve a "Jesse LeNoire" tonight" How would I make it?
~Gary
p.s. to Shinythings hope your planning to order the best cocktail ever -- the epidural!

I can't believe how crowded the lounge is! Still four hours to go!!
I don't have any favorites yet. I've enjoyed the audition tapes and hope I'll recognize these folks when I see them on the tv.

Something a little fruity, straight up?





(Disclaimer: Not meaning to pick on Jesse, whom I don't know. . . but couldn't resist.)

I've been in for a solid week, recuping from surgery. So far I have watched 22 movies, 2 miniseries, and Season 5 of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and read half a novel.
Tonight will make it all worth it.
The only bitch (besides me) is that I can't drink any alcohol, so no Vanilla Cape Cod for me in the TLounge! :(

WAG -

Top AMY
Bottom ...debating PING or SETH, ok SETH

Can't wait!!!

Does anyone know if they broadcast in HD? We got a shiny new TV for Christmas from my almost-father-in-law, see, and I'd love if one of the few shows I tend to watch regularly were able to take advantage of it. :D

I'm sad to say I'm more excited about that possibility than the show yet. I don't have a favorite or predictions because everyone's still such a mass of 'unknown quantity' for me, except for some reason mushroom girl sticks in my head, even if not enough to remember her, y'know, name.

I haven't a clue on the prediction side, but I do hope the cute Latin hobbit sticks around a few episodes at least. Meanwhile, I'll join the amaretto sour crowd while I sit here and look pretty.

(another suz)

I REALLY hope Jesse is the first to go. Ugh.

all three of your sites (here, twitter, and fb) are blocked at my job! I have to wait all day, it's such a bummer

Best of luck Shinything...hope delivery is quick and easy!

If you're lucky hospital will have cable. My baby was born 4 months ago, and hubby and I were able to watch Mad Men and have a beer (supposed to help milk come in, so they say).

Brilliant!

--GothamTomato

Dear Gotham Tomato - I think I have a girl crush on you! Keen, insightful and always humorous comments; great photography - AND - being TLo's go-to gal for remote commentary?? Be still my heart.

I have not checked out the new contestants (otherwise I would never get any work done). Just looking forward to a good season and figuring out who the "endearing" person is that Nina referred to in her interview.

Wine, wine and more wine. There goes my no drinking on week nights resolution. :)

I don't have too many predictions, but I'm an early fan of Mila. Janeane Marie and Seth Aaron are Portland locals so I have to cheer for them.

For the bottom, Pamela, maybe even the first aufed. And then maybe Ping and Jesse? Just guesses.

Can't wait for this to start!

_____Yummy Cocktail

Tall Glass filled with ice

1 Shot Stoli Raspberry

1/2 Shot Cointreau

Equal parts 7up and Sweet and Sour to the top

Splash Cranberry

Fresh lemon squeezed and dropped in the drink


______Settle in and watch PR!

since I started with two chardonnays at the high school ski race this afternoon I think I will stick with that, but I'd like 4 cherries in my virtual manhattan.

And a dirty water dog, just because.

suz

I don't care WHO wins, I just want this season to not be as awful and boring as last season!

I'd like a nice Pinot Noir, and a lovely tuffet upon which to rest my tired feet.

At this stage of the game, I can't even keep their names straight, so I'll just settle in for an evening of crazy topped off with some Nina.

Dear Shinything - Blessings and best wishes to you!

Shinything, best of luck to you for a speedy and easy delivery... AFTER the season premier!

Dear god, I need a drink. I just filed my estimated quarterly business taxes. I'll have a Bloody Mary, extra spicy.

Almost time!!!!!

The suspense is killing me. I hope it lasts!

Ranking all contestants, from best to worst:

1. Seth, a.k.a. heroin boy that dresses like he's 16
2. Ping Wu, the Asian-influenced wonder
3. Mila, a.k.a. stealth-designer
4. Pamela, the Jesus loving Elisa
5. Ben, the cutie with the sense of color
6. Amy, crazy art school girl
7. Jesus, Austin mach 2
8. Maya, goth girl with the spiked handbags
9. Janeane, Leanne mach 2
10. Jay, ummm...not much to go on yet, other than having a hipster chic sense of style
11. Anna, the girl that's only been doing this for six months
12. Christiane, the drama queen with style but not technical chops
13. Anthony, the Southern black queen
14. Jonathon, a.k.a. Mr. Crotch
15. Emilio, the ??? So far I got nothing
16. Jesse, a.k.a. cutie who was cast for his looks.

I'm rooting for my top 4 to go all the way.

I also want Amy, Maya, and Anna to do really well because I'm impressed with them, but realistically the seem a little too green to make it to the end. Those are my three spoilers though if my top 4 fall. Well, Jonathon may also make it to the end, but more based on his villainous personality than his abilities.

Oh my - Gorgeous Things - I totally forgot that tomorrow is Q4 tax day!

But then again I haven't had a paying gig in months, so I guess it doesn't matter (x% of 0 is 0).

/sigh

hope the show is great.

It's really hard for me to pick favorites, I really like almost everybody. I would say Anthony, Emilio, and Jesse are my least favorite but I can't really say I want them to go home. Anthony seems like he'll be a blast to watch, I don't know anything about Emilio yet really, and I feel like I have to have some loyalty for Jesse since he's from Ohio. I think I'm going to go through everyone again really quick just to reacquaint myself. I am so excited for this season!

Go, go, go!!

can the show start anytime soon... jesus im like waiting... for it to be 10 already

Easy wait..."Office Space" is on...one of my favorite movies! It will actually be hard to turn it off.

I'm watching Iron Chef America waiting for PR to start. I'm about to settle in with a glass of shiraz.

20 minutes, folks.

I hope they don't send Ping home.

GO BEN!!!!

Love the bar, guys! It's always exciting the beginning of a new season.

It's time.

Nina is back!!!!

What? No opening?

OMG Seth broke the bad.

bed

Hahahahahahah she's crying.

Ping is crazy.

Ben is cute.

Anthony is hilarious.

They're funny.

Those bitches are skinny.

Anna reminds me of my cousin.

jonathan is soooo cute.

Jesse oh my god as a pirate

Hahahahaha Love Jesse dressed as a pirate.

Maya's bangs drive me crazy.

ugh, you work at disneyland. you're not an actor.

Holy hell, whatshername looks like Louise Black so much that I actually just thought it was her.

Christiane works out. Look at her body.

Jesus is adorable.

I must root for Pamela because she teaches at my alma mater Drexel University. Go, Pam!

And Ping is very cute.

Champagne!!!!!

Heidi looks good.

here comes tim with never before...

Heidi? Pregnant? Really?

Yes, Heidi, come back to NY.

LOVE BEN!!!!!

Christiane is gorgeous.

Anna is cool. She reminds me of Starr.

NEW YORK!!!!!!

Same challenge : )

anthony is hilarious

I missed TIM : )

I actually love this challenge because they get to express who they are as a designer.

This show really needs to be in HD. Lifetime doesn't have an HD version, does it?

Ping, ping pong LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Seth is cool.

Emilio is screwed.

Too ironic considering the debate about the Denim chase.

And then - Emilio makes the fat comment - Oye - you'd think it was Jesse.

Loving it. Go PR!!!!!

That was fun. It's soooo good to see Tim back.

Love Ping!

It is, I love Tim.

I'm loving it!
Sweet Jesus asking Emilio: hablas espanyol? claro!

I would not know what fabrics to pick. I spend hours at a store every time I buy fabrics.

Jesus is ADORABLE!!!!

What? Did they just show a Launch My Line commercial? That's funny. I though I had the wrong channel.

We're back.

The work room looks cool.

Love the color on the wall.

Fancy equipment to sketch.

Christiane is doing something tacky. Hate her fabrics.

Is she going to cry again?

Ping is coo-coo.

Those tablets are sweet!

Hi, Tim!

Glad they're using technology for sketching. :)

They're showing the models too quickly.

Hahahaha Jonathan is funny.

Hate Jesse's fabric.

ew hate her dress.

OMG PING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

PING IS CRAZY!!!!!!

Tim is like alright you crazy Ping.

A black dress? She's going home.

Oh my.

She's crying again.

Anthony is funny but taste level not there

Jesus's dress is so cliche

He's cute though

Omg, Anthony is hilarious.

It's official--I love Anthony.

camel

No Tim it has happened before.

I like the color of his dress.

LOVE SETH'S DRESS.

There is a lot of ugly going on - I hope they finish better than they look

Hahahahahhahahaha she cracks me up.

Never"Not Finished", Tim? Umm, Santino,jumpsuit, Kara Janks?

I don't think we've ever had a girl be the season's crybaby before.

drama drama drama

I have a DVR so I'm a bit behind, but I saw Ping crying in the "coming up". Ping nooo! Make it work!
Love the HP sketchpad thingies.

I think Janeane (thanks for breaking the cry barrier, honey) is my new least favorite.

Don't send Ping home. We need her.

Ping is hilarious.

I love Jesus, but he is bombing!!! I picked him for the win, and he has poop coming out of the back of his dress!!

Loving the episode, guys.

And I hate Seth's fabric
