We Interrupt This Bitchery for a Minor Self-Indulgence.

Wednesday, August 01, 2007 by
Darlings, somehow, in the whirlwind that is our life, we let a very important day pass by without mention.

You see, on July 22nd, Project RunGay turned one year old.


On the one hand, we can't believe a year has gone by. On the other hand, we can't believe that it's ONLY been a year. So much has happened in that time! Who knew that we'd go from this (our first post) to this in less than a year? Who knew we'd get a little over THREE MILLION visitors in that time? Who knew that it would launch two other blogs? Not us, that's for sure. We were shocked that anyone read it at all, to be honest.

It was Lorenzo's idea to start this little endeavor, and as with so many things, Tom had to be talked into it. He initially said "no" about a dozen times - until the day Lorenzo stormed in from the gym, threw his gym bag down on Tom's desk and said "We are DOING this!" And once again, as with so many things, Tom sighed and said "Fine."

Anyway, before we get too weepy and maudlin, we'd just like to blow a giant airkiss to all of you and say thank you for supporting us and we hope we can continue to give you the fun, fabulosity and bitchery you've come to expect from us. We love you all.

BONUS: Our old banners! That first one looks like something the yearbook committee put together - and rejected.

Congratulations, Happy Anniversary, Boys!
Definitely something to celebrate!

Now, please tell us more about you: What were you doing before the blogs? Lorenzo, how did you come up with the idea? Are you Boys still doing whatever it was you were doing before, or are you now full-time bloggers, fashionistas (fashionistos?), party-goers, etc.?

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! What a ride! I'm so excited that I was there from the beginning and haved watched this progression to fame if not fortune. But I second Andrea - tell us a little more about yourselves. You are always ready to dish on Laura's life - how about yours? Isn't it weird that all of these unwashed masses feel we know you and sort of count you as friends? (Or at least WANT you as friends!) Love ya, mean it!

Can't believe I'm silently following your blog for almost a year now (does that qualify me as your stalker?).

Forget the Congratulations - I'd prefer to send you a big ole wet kiss of a THANK YOU for bringing a little bit of fabulousness to my academic, engineering, flyover country (we're talking South Dakota here, kids) existence. Bless you both for Musical Mondays alone, not to mention being the place to go every week after PR.

I'd have you both Sainted if I weren't completely jealous and childlessly petty about that weekend in the country with Frank the turtle and the family he lets live with him.

Happy Anniversary, Boys!

Break out the tiaras and champagne!

The first anniversary is paper - so lets hope Bravo is sending you some green paper, as a gift, for making their show so much more interesting & fun.

Congratulations! And thank YOU darlings for creating a blog space that is so fun, fabulous and intelligent! It is truly the ONLY project runway blog worth reading; the only one that matters really.

I've been with you since mid-August, first as anonymous. Then you inspired me to become the fabulous and outrageous me that is Ms. Place. I created my own blog on August 22 - Jane Austen's World. I blame you two dahling guys for steering me towards the blogosphere. Before long, Dishin' Dat was born, and the rest as they say is a hiccup.

Congratulations Dearest Boys.

You were my first blog and I will always think of you fondly for that if for nothing else.

But I think of you often because you bring wit and snark to my day no matter what.

Here's to many more years of delight. I raise my cocktail glass to you both.

Much Love, Sewhat?

Really? It's a year already?

Are you kidding me? It's only been a year?

Warring sentiments, but both popped into (the space above my shoulders that passes for) my mind when I read about your anniversary. I love this blog and Tom & Lorenzo too.

Thanks for being as fabulous as you are, and for sharing yourselves with the world! We are not worthy!

Happy Anniversary Boys! I have been with ya almost since Day One (probably Day 3!) and have loved every minute of it! Thankfully I will be leaving this job that has the site blocked from our system (because you have the audacity to have the word G-A-Y in the title) and starting a new one in the big metropolis of Santa Fe, NM next month. Everyone please light a candle and pray that my next employer will be more enlightened & and I can relax with PR on my lunch breaks!

I hope you'll elaborate for us fans. Other than posting regularly and meeting PR stars, how has it changed your life? Have you quit your jobs and are you living comfortably off the income of your blog? Happy bloggy day.

Hearty congratulations on your anniversary, guys! I was a blog virgin when I found the link to here on another chat board last year. Just wanted to say thank you for taking my cherry, so to speak.

Thank you, Boys, for making it fun to be classy bitches again!

And I just want to wonder out loud as to why your screen-capture images so much more clear and vivid than anyone else's on the Internet. You challenge the mind without hurting the eyeballs. Thank you for that as well!

HIP HIP HOO-GAY!!!!

Thanks so very very much for making this past year a little more liveable and a lot more fabulous! So happy to have made your acquaintance, and---lest we forget---in some strange way FABULON would not have come about if not for you (remember how I was always sending you wacky pics & vids?).

You dolls are funny, intelligent and compassionate, too. And funny. And you've created a wonderful community of sorts. And you're funny! Thanks for the inspiration, and mostly just for BEING YOU!

All my love,
Thom!
