So much for our vacation.


Entertainment Weekly has named Project Runway one of its Top Entertainers of 2006. Everyone looks gorgeous in the photos even if we question some of the styling choices.

What you probably didn't know is that a couple days before the photo shoot, Laura called us and said "I need my gay posse there!" Just guess what we said.

Anyway, fate, torrential rain and an overturned tractor trailer on the Jersey Turnpike prevented us from getting to the shoot on time. We did however arrive in time to get one rain-drenched photo.


After that, we went back to Laura's for a while and then on to Malan's party. We do it all for you, darlings.

By the way, Laura made her own dress and if we recall correctly, Uli is wearing Vera Wang.

Edited to add:

Watch the Access Hollywood video about the EW photo shoot here.


Also, don't miss Bravo's exclusive behind-the-scenes video at the EW shoot. It's a great video!

  1. I love that picture of Laura in Entertainment Weekly. A little weird, maybe, but kind of awesome.

  2. Uli looks freakin' gorgeous!!!

  3. Could Jeffrey be ruder in the article, comparing Uli to WalMart designers? I swear, there isn't a gracious bone in his body.

    ReplyDelete
  4. OMG, they look fabulous, especially Laura and Tim. I'm so jealous!!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Laura looks freaking GORGEOUS! Tom, darling, you look hot : - )

    ReplyDelete
  6. Uli could be a model. Wow. As I said over on BPR, Jeffrey looks like an Egyptian slave boy extra from a Victor Mature pic, and I like it. (He is a twit for saying that about Uli though. I think he's heard a lot about how she got robbed.)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh you lucky boys!!!! How faboo everyone looks. And to get the call. It's faint-worthy. Stoopid Jersey Turnpike. But at least you got there for our girl!

  8. Good Lord, Angry Little Peanut looks positively dreamy in the photo! I want that photographer for all my future shoots.

  9. Great picture, guys! They all look amazing. Then, you get to the article and Jeffrey does it again. What an ASS**LE!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Laura looks stunning. LOVE. HER. CAN'T. GET. ENOUGH. OF. HER.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Laura made her own dress? Fantastic! She looks amazing, I mean, they all do. Great photo montage!

  12. You bitches are fabulous! Thanks for sharing, darlings!!

  13. Tim looks like a character from Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. He looks great, doesn't he?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Jeffrey looks like an Egyptian. Beautiful picture!

  15. "Laura called us and said "I need my gay posse there!"
    " Hahaha. Interesting article! Great pictures! Thanks, boys.

  16. Good thing I didn't believe you boys when you said that was the last post. Uli looks really great.

  17. Aww, I miss michael. He looks adorable. What a beautiful smile. He has such sparkle and life in his eyes.

  18. Uli looks amazing. I love that dress. Are those extensions? I don't think her hair is really that long.

    Hi Divine,

    We asked Uli and she told us those were extensions.

  20. They all look great, but I can't get over how good Jeffrey looks in the picture.

  21. "What Uli does...is very marketable," adds Sebelia. "But if greatness were a measure of number of sales, then Wal-Mart designers would be great. Uli will probably make more money than me."

    I'm sorry but Jeffrey is a jerk. Great montage. I can't stop looking at Laura. She looks gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I really wish they had larger versions of those pictures. They all look great...including you, fabulously glamorous Tom! By the way, where's Lorenzo?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I know it's because of the photo shoot, but Laura is wearing a lot of makeup. She looks gorgeous, though.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Heidi - I don't like her hair.
    Tim - Hot! Mr. Darcy hot!
    Michael K - He looks OK.
    Michael - Not sure what's going on there.
    Laura - Fabulous! Just fabulous!
    Nina - Sweet...and I love her ring.
    Uli - Amazing, like a goddess.
    Jeffrey - Best picture. Almost unrecognizable.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I honestly am not understanding why everyone thinks what Jeff said is assholeish? Am I missing something?

    It seems mostly true. Uli will probably make more money then Jeff.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Any chance Laura might be selling 8' x 10's of her shot? In B&W of course. It's a hot shot...reminds me of those old Vogue photos. Wouldn't mind hanging that on my wall..and yes...I'm serious. She could donate the proceeds to charity...or start a college fund for the latest rugrat. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I agree, boys, everyone looks gorgeous. Thanks for the link!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Amazing pictures! I wish they had done all the designers from Season 3.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The proportions of Jeffrey's thick, long, graffiti'd neck always make me think of a hyena.

    ReplyDelete
  30. How fabulous is Laura? She's like a modernized version of Kate Hepburn. Gorgeous. If I wore feathers around my neck, I'd probably break out in an allergic rash.

    And Tom, you hottie, where's Lorenzo?

  32. "Edited to add: By the way, Laura made her own dress and if we recall correctly, Uli is wearing Vera Wang."

    Laura is fucking fabulous. I wish I could just say: "Girl, I have nothing to wear tonight. You know what? Give me that napkin and I'll make a fabulous cocktail dress with it."

    ReplyDelete
  33. Wow, check Uli out! Her hair looks great. :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love that, in looking at this picture, international supermodel Heidi Klum is the least attractive woman of all of them! Go Laura and Uli!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Gorgeous pictures, especially Laura's, Jeffrey's and Uli's. EW did a great job. Tom, you look so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Uli looks UNBELIEVABLE.

    ReplyDelete
  37. See, this Jersey Turnpike nonsense wouldn't happen if you LIVED IN NY!!! This was a sign from God that you need to move here. Do it for Laura!

  38. Is Michael holding a dress?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I hate Uli's dress. It looks like a shower curtain or something.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm so happy for you guys. Hanging around with the designers, meeting Tim Gunn...I think I'd faint if I ever met Laura or Tim Gunn (laughs).
    Thank you for the pictures. I love them. They all look so cool.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Laura was born to be a star. She looks so glamorous in that picture. I loved the hair, makeup, dress, feathers...everything! Does she EVER look bad?

    ReplyDelete
  42. "Anonymous said...I love that, in looking at this picture, international supermodel Heidi Klum is the least attractive woman of all of them! Go Laura and Uli!"


    It's true. Heidi's picture is the least interesting of the group.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Uli looks...ohhh...feeling faint....pants too tight...out of breath....ohhhh...[thump].

    ReplyDelete
  44. Fabulous! Thank you so much for the link to the video. Tim is adorable!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. They all look so glamorous. I can't wait to buy the magazine.

    ReplyDelete
  46. heidi looks as if she had a big face.

    those four who had a half-body picture are lucky; their pictures are more interesting.

    love uli and laura and tim's clothes. uli looks better than ANTM lol.

    jeffery must be upset seeing tons of articles saying uli was robbed.

    ReplyDelete
  47. That's a terrific set of pictures. They look amazing. Uli's is definitely my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Anonymous 7:43, I'd totally buy one too. On the one hand, I'm sort of alarmed by how much I adore Laura, but on the other hand, she is fabulous! Plus I know that basically everyone (everyone sane, that is) agrees with me.
    It's such an interesting picture; actually, they're all really, really well done. Even Jeffrey looks semi-attractive.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love the pictures but they don't seem to go together very well.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love how you guys are her offical gay posse now. It's kind of great, even though every other gay man alive is probably bitterly jealous & plotting your deaths. Still . . . worth it? YES.

    ReplyDelete
  51. That's my favorite issue of Entertainment Weekly every year. They always have great photographs.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Laura looks so beautiful, and that is probably my favorite picture of Uli. I like her with longer hair because it makes her look a little less bony.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Even Jeffrey looks semi-attractive.

    I agreed with every statement until that one, Cecily. What bonehead would leave no room on his neck for baby #2 or even #3? I surmise he's stopping at siring one child, or perhaps he's planning to tattoo his forehead and nose in honor of his other progeny. He's a peanut and will always be one.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Jeffrey is just jealous of Uli. Uli obviously was the only one with a halfway original vision.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love your picture with the designers, Tom. You're all so smiley, it's adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  56. not fair. wwfan says 1st day out of nutty house and you make me read all the comments
    so I hope I wake you up T&L.
    glad to be out n survived the ordeal. having the JB CD to get me over the day of intense combat duty helps.
    in fact I was calming the craziest with JB music and healing myself.
    Not very funny indeed. NO bravo indeed.
    welcome me back. so over PR but its fun 2C all the familiar faces esp. Uli looking really hot. And of course Jeff and JB are my fav. well everyone too.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Wow! Laura looks absolutely gorgeous! And Uli looks the best I have ever seen her. Jeffrey doesn't look like his usual dirty self, he actually looks showered and clean in the photo. Who knew a little soap and water could make such a difference? But he's still an angry little peanut. Heidie basically disappears among the fabulousness of Laura, Tim and Uli. LAURA rises above all others on the scale of fabulosity.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I must say pretty much everyone looks lovely (though Michael K. is looking a little rough to me... albeit less taneorexic). Tim looks adorable, and a bit like he swiped that outfit Austin wore to the season 1 reunion... you know, the glam Paul Revere get-up.

    Personally I think Jeffrey and Laura stand out the most vividly. Uli looks pretty, but even with that flow-fest, she sort of disappears next to Laura, and I was shocked to see Jeff so... glowy. Good look for him I must say.

    *~J~*

    ReplyDelete
  59. Stop dumping on Heidi, y'all. What I love about her is that even as a beautful woman and a professional model, she doesn't feel a need to be an attention vampire. I think the styling and expression of her photo was deliberately mellowed down to let the spotlight shine on the show's true stars: the designers and judges. She is a true gracious hostess; the show is not an ego vehicle for her. She doesn't need to glam it up and pose for this picture. Good for her.

    p.s. I also find nothing offensive about what Jeffrey said. Uli does aim her aesthetic for a broader buyer.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Laura, Tim and Uli Look absolutely breath-taking. I honestly didn't recognize Uli at first.

    And the Peanut is flirting with a uni-brow.

    ReplyDelete
  61. UGH. Did you have to post Jeffrey's ugly mug on your page?? He's why I stopped visiting BPR.
    I'm not into purple coolaid.

    The only year-end list that Jeffrrey belongs on is the same one that includes Britney's brazilian.

  62. ooooh. Just read the article. Sounds like Tiny Peanut is a tad bitter & that he has little (if any) commercial prospects.

    Funny that he should compare Uli to Walmart: With that NASCAR neck, he is the one who looks like he belongs at Walmart.

    And ironic that he should talk about 'greatness' not being determined by sales numbers. While that may be true, a major measure of greatness is in how you treat other people, and on that count Jeffrey fails miserably as well.

  63. Uli! See? I TOLD you to lose the clip! She looks HOT!!
    Nina....eeeek....extreme close up. Not liking it.
    There is something....dare I say- Streisand-esque about Laura's photo....coming from me thats like saying she looks like the B;essed Mother!!

  64. I agree with the others: I'm glad I ignored your "vacation post!"

    Great way to liven up a Friday until my work party heats up.

    Have a wonderful holiday, guys, and may all your gifts make your asses look awesome.

  68. Good thing I didn't believe you bitches about the last post blah blah blah. The truth is, you bitches can't live without us. Hahaha I love you, guys! Thank you for the great pictures. Laura's is by far the best picture. She looks amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Jeffrey ROCKS! He looks so hot in that picture.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Laura looks regal and beautiful. I love her unique but classy sense of style. And the hair style looks outstanding!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Might I propose a "Proxy Gay Posse" for Laura? If you guys ever get stuck on the Turnpike again, call Ed and I, and we will dash into NYC to fulfill your committments. We could have you boys cast in rubber and make Tom & Lorenzo masks. You could feed us fabulous bon mots and ripostes by cell phone (we'd wear ear pieces), whisper witty banter and clever conversation. We'd never be able to match your fabulosity, but we'd try our damnedest and beat a hasty retreat once you arrived.

  72. "Anonymous said...

    I don't think so. Uli's collection looked like anything Donatella would send down the runway. Jeffrey's collection looked like something you'd find at any mall.

    ReplyDelete
  73. WOW, Uli looks stunning!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Is it just me or does Tim Gunn look like he's getting ready to be an extra in "Amadeus" in that coat?

    ReplyDelete
  75. Every time I see a picture of Jeffrey and his neck I think of the illustration in Alice in Wonderland.

    Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); `now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!'

    ReplyDelete
  76. Uli WILL make more money than Jeffrey because SHE is the BETTER designer! He should have taken the mentorship with INC, he could have learned a few things. Jeffrey needs to get over himself and lose the "addict's chip on the shoulder." No other designer, not even the wretched Keith Michael, EVER wished a stroke on a fellow contestant.

  78. I don't have the issue of EW yet so I can't weigh in on how everybody looks.

    HOWEVER ...

    and I say this with a very stern face ....

    WHEN did this happen? WHY were we, fruitflies and the like, NOT INFORMED IMMEDIATELY? You know we little minnions hang on your every fresh-off-the-presses word! Waaaah!

    Now, I am going to go get in the car and go to the store to get the magazine so I can see what you two fabulous boys have been doing behind my has-no-life back.

  80. Someone finally got that damned clip out of Uli's hair! She looks so very beautiful.

    I didn't realize Laura's chin was so prominant. Very Glenn Close.

    Tim! Is he not gorgeous?

    Jeffrey looks so young, and so much like his mother.

    ReplyDelete
  81. OK, I bought the magazine and I have to say that I'm not impressed with the larger version of the montage.

  82. I noticed little mention of fan fave Michael Knight (except Mariana). Hmmm, I guess since he's not gay or the winning designer he's just invisible like... well. Too bad. Hope I'm wrong.

  83. Why is no one talking about Michael Knight on this shoot? He is stunningly handsome. *swoon*

  85. HOORAY for all involved! So much fabulosity---even Jeffrey looks good (in an Edie Sedgewick sorta way...)!

    And how wonderful, PERFECT really, that you two are Laura's GAY POSSE! Some things make too much sense!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Uli is GORGEOUS!She should do her hair like that more often.

    Jeffery didn't actually say Uli was like a Wal-Mart designer, he just said that there was more to fashion than selling clothes. People, stop reading into stuff.

  90. It's so cute to hear Tim saying that he "can't believe what's happening." He is such a wonderful and humble man. He deserves every bit of attention and recognition he's been getting with the show.

    ReplyDelete
  91. well you little scamps! you're whining about "so busy, too much to do, cookies to bake, packages to wrap, see you next week" and you just wanted to ditch us, like the cheerleaders ditch the band girls, and run off to NYC to play with laura et al.

    Why did you try out for a Reality TV show if you wanted to remain anonymous???

    Someone suggested New Jersey as an improvement, so it must be pretty bad. (and before you Jersey girls start screaming, I grew up there. Exit 4. Got out as soon as I could. There's a reason why 'Born to Run' is the official state song!)

    Don't move to NJ. You boys are too fabulous to be bridge and tunnel crawlers. You must find a perch here on the island.

  113. Hey, I just saw the most bizarre version of PR last night. It was from Austria.

    In the challenge, some girl named Maria had to make outfits for 7 kids, from her curtains. Tim Gunn was dressed as a nun & singing 'Climb Ev'ry Mountain'. Then a bitchy blonde said Auf Viedersen to Christopher Plummer. And were a bunch of boys in lederhosen: totally GAY. But strangely, after their runway show the models just kept walking, over the mountains to Switzerland.

    Maybe it was the egg nog.

    Happy Holidays!

  119. Poor Nina looks like she was rode hard and put away wet in that photo.

    Laura -- stikingly beautiful -- no surprise.

    Angly Peanut -- still angry.

    I'll ditto Gotham Tomato about not visiting BPR anymore since I hate looking at the Peanut's mug. Ugh! Not a gracious bone in the boy's body.
