First up, Mrs. Seal makes an appearance on the runway for The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show in a skimpy little slip dress by Marc Jacobs.
Here's a bit of info on the show:
"The Red Dress—the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness—was designed to build awareness that women are at risk for heart disease, and motivate them to take action to reduce their risk. Follow The Heart Truth and learn about heart disease in women this February, and throughout the year, through a series of exciting events taking place across the nation."
When we first saw the pictures of this dress, we weren't too keen on it, but common sense prevailed and we realize that it - and she - looks fabulous. It's got a sexy, disheveled, JBF feel to it while giving the illusion that it shows more than it actually does. Nicely done, Miss Jacobs.
Heidi? You can start aging now. No one will hold it against you.
Next up, Princess Puffysleeves makes an appearance in the front row at the Perry Ellis show...
and at the Rubin Singer show:
He looks fierce. We couldn't pull off an outfit like that (or pull it on, for that matter), but he's rocking it.
Also, several bitches made their presence known at the Na-Be by Victorya Hong show.
Team Star! Jack, did you make those pants? We want them.
And Jay finally got to meet the object of his obsession all season. Oh to have been a fly on the wall for that convo.
And yes, darlings, we WILL be getting to Victorya's collection very soon. In the meantime, a taste:

whaddya mean, sexy, that dress looks like she wrapped a red towel around a black dress. Notankyu!!
I'm so excited! It's Super Bowl week for the Fashion industry!
I saw VictorYa's collection. It's kind of hit or miss for me. A lot of it is unoriginal, some is very cute. I can't wait to hear your take on it all!
Marc Jacob's dress for Heidi with the black under the red - is that suggestive of arterial plaque or heart disease?
Re: the Princess's outfit and not being able to pull it off...or on. Ha! I so know what you mean, Boys.
Looking forward to your view of Victorya's collection. Looks okay to me from the peek you provided.
I saw Victorya's collection via Getty Images. It's... very innocuous.
Solids and big wide belts. It'll sell. That's about it.
That featured model there from VictorYA's show looked like she was suffering from a severe case of static cling. And what is it we say here in the biz -- the "color story" on the rest of the outfits -- it's kinda putting me to sleep.
I almost had to be revived after looking at the pics of VictorYa's collection, as I pretty much DIED of boredom.
Except for maybe 2 blouse that were kinda dif. and cute, everything else was more than forgettable and I can get it at the mall, right now (!), in a pinch.
So envious (the good kind!) you bitches get to go to the core of the fun! I'll live vicariously through you in the next week. (And every other week, for that matter... hehe)
if i were still that sweet young thang i used to be, i would SO wear that blue skirt/black belt&tights/white blouse outfit to work. i'd toss on a jacket, maybe, or a killer scarf, but i'd be wearing it. that skirt -- very subtly sexy, i think. wonder how much leg i'd be showing when i sat down at the head of the corporate table to take a meeting with a hot young art director who was determined to impress me. *ah, the memories!*
Heidi looks gorgeous. She has such a great smile and she's walking for a good cause. Christian looks adorable in those pictures. I can't wait to hear your take on VictorYA.
heidi is sooooooo dorian gray. sickening. also sickening the neon yellow vest I glimpsed in the photo of V-YA' show.
I'm not sure I understand... you say you LIKE that Marc Jacobs dress?
Is there a video of Heidi in that Jacobs dress? I would love to see her workin that runway. Chica can walk!
I've been really surprised that Heidi hasn't said a word about some of the models from PR4. If you get the opportunity, watch the "Meet the Designers" video at Bravo again. The majority of the models walk like their shoes are piercing their feet at each step. Very off-putting to say the least.
"errr said...

Hi Nibs,

That Marc Jacobs dress is hideous. But Heidi's so gorgeous and her body's so perfect that it doesn't detract from her general fabulousness (too much). Her hair looks especially good and it often doesn't.
I'm not so sure if red is a good color for Heidi. I love her hair.
Heidi is gorgeous! I love her throwing kisses out to the audience.
i WISH i was at fashion week now!
ughhh tlo, you're two lucky bitches!
get me in!
Aw, Christian looks so cute. I love him!
I like the Marc Jacobs dress a hell of a lot more now that I've seen it in motion.
Fashion week is here, and we're only on episode 10 with a bunch of contestants left? Kinda messes up the suspense thing, doesn't it?
And guys -- I know you love Mrs. Seal; I love Mrs. Seal, but that outfit and the styling are FUG.
Christian seems to have enough spare time to go to a lot of fashion shows. He's either done with his collection (which no one ever seems to be) or he's not showing at Bryant Park. Curious.
"rain brain said...

I'm sure he's showing. Who else? Ricky and Sweet P? Christian lives in NY, and at this point, I'm sure he's done or almost done with his collection.
Oh, who are we kidding -- Christian would have been done assembling his collection the week after he was selected to show in Bryant Park. I interpret his many public appearances in recent weeks as proof that he's showing. And I also interpret Chris and Jillian's absence from NY social events as proof that they're showing, too, and using every last minute they've got.
Heidi definately makes that dress. Thanks for that video link. Funny to see Liza wearing a Liza Minelli costume, but in red.
Princess looks like he went ready to be photographed (wearing make-up). But he and Jack are too cute together. Is there a video link of them making an entrance with Jack carrying Christian in in a gift bag?

That's why it's so important to pick the right model. They can make or break the whole look.
I personally love the dress as is.
Uh oh. I think this means Christian didn't make it to the final 3 if he's shown in pictures so early?
By the way, if you watched the video, Lisa Rinna is shaking her booty in a Michael Kors creation.

I can't look at Princess Puffysleeves without trying to imagine the receding hairline beneath that peacock 'do.
OMG! That video is amazing. I would look at stuff like that all day long. Heidi looks incredible and Lisa Rinna is just off the charts. Even Liza looks adorable. Thanks for the vid - really made my day.
Lor-dee, that video has some of the most unflattering shots of celebs evah; screen caps could go straight into a National Enquirer "Photos They Didn't Want You To See" issue.
The one of Camryn Mannheim picking her nose, and then a few minutes later licking the same finger? Euuwww. (Granted, the length of the runway elapsed in between, but still. Euuwww.)
not crazy about Heidi's dress at all, but she does look lovely otherwise.
Vya? Yawn.
Princess was adorable. However, I would have loved to see his feathers all puffed. It's much cuter that way.
Edited to say: "a few moments later"...
Yes, I know the finger-licking gesture was pre-planned to elicit a hawt moment, not a cleanup, but please, girl, do your nasal adjustments behind the scrim.
Elisa and Jay! That's so awesome! Hahaha. What a great photo!
Fabulous!
My first thought though on seeing that Marc Jacobs dress was "someone would get so auf'd for that crazy thing".
Heidi's hair looks great though, beautiful curvy skinny bitch.
When we first saw the pictures of this dress, we weren't too keen on it, but common sense prevailed and we realize that it - and she - looks fabulous.
That's because Frau Seal would look fabulous in a potato sack, much less a myocardial infarction of a dress.
Watching the video, I do have to say I like how Heidi's dress moved (her little hop was cute, too), but I still wasn't crazy about it.
The other women...wow! Rita Moreno? Liza? Sara Ramirez (she wore a dress very similar to the one for this show at the SAG awards, but in pink), and...oh so many beautiful gowns.
Awkward awards go to Joss Stone, poor Molly Sims (popping out of her dress - quick! Get the boob tape ready!), and Allison Janney (looked like she was really worried about her ass).
Overall great fun, gorgeous color, and lots of fantastic energy for a great cause.
Now if only some of the other collections could rise to the occasion.
"TLo said...

Well, that makes his love of the Twizzler creation make much more sense now...
I actually like the dress better in the stills than when she walked it down the runway. The chica can definitely walk but I didn't care for the dress as much.
I was more impressed with the glimpse of Victorya's collection than I expected to be. There's some really nice stuff!
Not crazy about this dress, but Ms. Seal worked it.
I read somewhere that she's also wearing red to the Oscars. Attention Season 5 designers, Heidi loves red!!
Heidi's dress looks like something that perhaps Elisa would make. It's interesting.
Elisa and Jay look cute.
Have you noticed that Princess has some big ol' feet and we all know what that means....
Oh, alright, I'll take my meds but don't hate me for being curious.
Aw. Everyone looks so nice all cleaned up!
I like what I've seen of Victorya's collection. It's got a classic vibe with some interesting twists. Highly commercial, but, so what? She's showing to sell.
PR's schedule is just too too wackadoo!
Darlings, do watch the video. Liza is looking fantastic.
Yes, I was also going to mention Liza rocked it. But Frau Seal worked that dress to the point where you almost like it. She's so at home on that runway.
I love Christian"s new hair : )
You boys need to be more specific: Is it Jack's pants that you want or having Jack OUT of his pants? (Hee-hee...)
Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to your comments on Victorya's collection. I saw the images on Getty Images and wasn't all that impressed. Some of the colors were great and the pieces appeared to be well-structured and balanced. However, I sensed no joy or life in the collection, kind of what I sensed from Victorya during this season. I think her collection will do well, though, because there are a lot of women who want to look smartly put together without standing out.

Remember that when they are filming PR, the designers are not permitted to go off on their own - ever. Princess Puffysleeves attending the Bryant Park shows is not a good sign.
Perhaps Sweet P hurt him while arm wrestling and he had to go home? Karma can be such a bitch...
Great pictures of the designers, I particularly like the one of Jay and Elisa. Two of my favorite PR designers.
I love Marc Jacobs. The man is a genius! Fabulous dress!!

Darling, they finished filming P.R. months ago. That is the only time the designers are not permitted to be alone. Once the final three or four are chosen, they are sent home and given months to design their collection for Fashion Week. They are not kept under lock and key at this point. Since the P.R. fashion show is on Friday, the final designers will probably start shooting again on Monday or Tuesday. Therefore, Christian could very well be showing on Friday.
I don't know what video you're looking at but in the first second of Camryn Mannheim's runway walk she's pulling off her sun glasses. At the end of the runway she's putting on lipstick with an applicator. No nasal involvement.
I saw the Simpsons Movie last night!
It suddenly hit me...Heidi is wearing Lisa Simpson's dress...
d'oh!!!
Oops - my bad 3:00 AM decision; the tragedy of drinking and blogging.
You're correct, the designer finalists return home and are unsupervised while they do their Bryant Park collections. Once they return to NYC a few days before the showing, they are again "in production" and may not go off by themselves. Sorry I didn't make that distinction clear.
Generally they are franticly working on finishing or refining their collections or "locked down" waiting the finale filming. So seeing Princess Puffysleeves coolly attending other Bryant Park shows may not be proof that he was auf'd, but it's not a good sign. Just my spin on the situation; I guess we will all see in a couple of weeks.
Boy did the producers of season 4 screw up this time. If the PR final runway show is this Friday, why-o-why are they a week behind in the airings of the show? We'll find out who the final 5 is this week...a week behind finding out who would be showing at Bryant Park. Why did they not air an episode last week and let the reveal come naturally? Or am I missing something?
I do hope Jay blogs about meeting Elisa.
The show would have been SO much better if SweetP had been Auf'd, and Elisa was still there.
The strongest final 6 would have been: Jillain, Christian, Rami, Chris, Kevin & Elisa. (And if Jack's illness had not been a factor, then I'd swap him in for Kevin).
--GothamTomato
It's kind of cute that both Christian and Eliza wore charturese to Victorya's show.
I am also a little worried that Christian may not be showing at Bryant Park. Remember he was also present at the event held at Mc3 in December, along with Jack and Kevin.
WAIT JUST A GOSH-DARN MINUTE!!!!
So, Victorya must have had some advance planning in order to show at Fashion Week. When did she decide what she was going to do?
DURING THE DENIM CHALLENGE.
That's why she looked so "Oh well." It was "Oh well, I obviously can't win against these guys, so I might as well bail out now and go get my other collection finished."
Bitch.
Kit was robbed. Victorya shouldn't have been on the show if she was going to dump and run.
The funny thing about Christian is, if you strip away the clothes and the funky haircut and the glasses, he looks like Milton Berle, or one of those other old Jewish Borscht Belt comedians.
Heidi's hair extensions look great. BTW, she is mortal because her hair is very very thin now.
Gotham Tomato said:

Yeah, the more the show's gone on, the more I've missed Elisa, too.
Also, I'm sitting here reallyreallyreally hoping that the Sweet P comment doesn't set off another shitstorm of postings on the subject...
I too would like to hear more about Jay's 'obsession' with Elisa and any conversation they may have had....Jay, are you reading this? I suspect that there might be a creative kinship there that is not easily defined.
I really would like to see a full collection from the creative 'outsiders' Elisa and Chris someday, and hopefully that will be sooner rather than later with Chris.
I just watched the video of the red dress show... That Kors dress that Lisa Rinna's wearing is just like one I rented in high school for a 1920s party. I remember it as a sign of my naivete at the time since I got a lot of unexpected attention in that dress!
Oh, and is it just my imagination, or are we really seeing more beading and sequins from MK (the dress Lisa Rinna was wearing) and other designers after Laura's tenure on PR3, and *much* more color in the wake of Uli and her Miami Vibe?
Just curious...
hey can someone post the site for jay's blog i forgot where it is. thanks.
christian is defff in the final 3.
that's the reason he is showing up at all of these events.
I think a great final 4 would of been Elisa, Rami, Jillian and Christian.
Yeah some of the other designers were good, but those 4 truly have a specific vision. Very strong and the most unique to themselves.
I think we're getting set up for something different and unusual for the finale. I don't remember seeing any of the known non-auf'ed designers in public prior to the PR Bryant Park show.
Oh, and btw, let me start the shitstorm: Sweet P rocks. She'll be this year's Uli, you mark my words.
"sewing siren said: I am also a little worried that Christian may not be showing at Bryant Park. Remember he was also present at the event held at Mc3 in December, along with Jack and Kevin."
I don't think there is any way that Christian cannot be in the final 4. If the final four are not Jillan, Christian, Rami & Chris, the show will lose too much credibility.
I'd think that the only way those 4 could be eliminated would be if there is a wild card judge (like a Nancy O'Dell situation). But I don't think that will happen. I certainly hope not.
But we don't know if we have yet seen the episode that Tim talked about; the one where he said the person who should have been eliminated, won. Maybe that's happening this week.

I thought that was the denim episode. Reading Tim's Take led me to believe that, anyway.
I was sitting front row across from Christian at the Rubin Singer show, and he was getting stopped non-stop, and he was very gracious and friendly as far as I could see (complete aside: Singer's a newbie with some promise, although I didn't like the show as a whole). In any case, here people may think it' all glam being front row, but Christian and I were in the exact same subway car in the F train afterwards. Heck, Jessica Stam was on th same train another season. Oh, the smoke and mirrors of Fashion Week...
why is everyone talking about four people showing at bryant park? that was LAST YEAR. this year, it's only 3..am i wrong?
Love the vest and jacket on Christian - fierce, indeed - but will you two please give him some grief for sporting a mullet?
OMG HOW DO YOU GET INTO FASHION WEEK????? I WANT TO GO SOOO BADLY!

No, Snf I don't think so. Beaded cocktail dresses have been popular (in various forms )since the 20's. And the popularity of color or certain colors comes and goes every season and you always see a Miami vibe in cruise collections.
I wish that show would be more influential on how people are dressing, but I'll tell you I don't see it I went out on New Years Eve and there wasn't a goddam sequin in the place*. It was depressing.
*Not counting me.

All previous seasons had 4 designers showing at Bryant Park. In seasons 1 and 2 Austin and Kara Janx showed as decoys because the show had not yet aired revealing who the final 3 would be. Last season, thay just decided to have a final 4 instead. It remains to be seen what they're doing this year.
Totally annoyed at the fact that Victorya still showed at Fashion Week. Not that I hold it against her at all, but why the hell did she need Project Runway if she was going to end up there anyway??
You know, last season Michael and Jeffery were in the bottom two in the final challenge. If Michael had been voted out (and he easily could have been with what he came up with for that challenge) AND had shown up at Fashion Week before the PR show, I think the same comments would have been made about him that are being made about Christian right now ("I don't think there is any way that Christian cannot be in the final 4."). There is ALWAYS a chance of a quirky challenge (Austin?) that can auf someone everyone is convinced will make it. AND who knows who could be the managing to slide thru Santino of the season (after all, Ricky is still there for god's sake!). I'm just afraid of everyone's confidence that PPS will end up there isn't founded in reality/past-season-viewing-experience/tradition.. I'm just dreading the hostility and virulence that may be in future postings if PPS doesn't make it in the finals.
And BTW, I think/hope PR will whittle it down to 3, personally I always thought they should have had the balls to cut either Michael or Jeffery in the final challenge. I'd love to know WHEN the producers told the judges they could go with four finalists. Was it during the judging discussion process when they realized that fan fav Michael could be cut? I know I would have been crushed if he had been cut, but that is the way things go and I still would have watched the finale (I was always rooting for Laura).
And sorry about the misspelling of Michael — I love his work on PR, but can't ever remember how the hell he spells a perfectly good name.

Ok, now I'm getting all confused. George G. , when were you there at that show (in the front row! you go!)? Like what was the date? And if I may be so bold, how did you get in? Are you a designer?
And maybe more importantly, are our Boys getting in to the PR Show this year? That HAS to happen..with some kind of live feed online. Using Jillian's prayer line; God, can you hear me? That is OUR Superbowl and we need our correspondents!!!
If Bravo has any sense whatsoever, they SHOULD be sending T & L to the PR show!
T&L, i love you guys. mwah<3
you could both replace heidi anyday.
Regarding Victorya's collection - In the words of Ferosh herself:
I'm bored to death.
The TV ads for Make Me a Supermodel are hinting at their having involvement with Fashion Week... not necessarily with Project Runway, just sayin'.
Katiecoo, I think if anyone is getting in to Project Runway's show, it would be T & L. :)
And as far as Singer's show, that was last Friday, and I was invited by the PR company - he's new, so not too much buzz yet, although he was showing at the Promenade, which is a good size venue at the tents. I work in the industry and see a few shows each season. Just attending 6 or 7 shows/events this time. Looking forward more to the shows coming this week...
I'm not keen on the Heidi dress -- also notwild abouther hair -- looks like a wig to me.
Jay looks downright starstruck to be in a phot with Elisa! I love both of them!! Glad they got to meet and I hope Jay talks about it in his blog.
Thanks for the post Fellas!!
I like Princess's new hairstyle. A little more subdued and flattering.
What I thin he is doing id INTERVIEWING. For JOBS. GOOD JOBS.
This is boy has MAJOR skillz and talent and a fantastic resume.
To me, once his sting with PR is done with, he's going to get a really good offer to work somewhere REAL nice.
Love,
Milla
OMG... I just saw Victorya's collection on video...
CHRIST!
That was boring, tedious, poorly constructed and nothing I cannot find, right now, at like Macy's.
I can think of like 3 gajillion fashion STUDENTS who have presented better made and more exciting collections than that.
Seriously babies.
That was pedestrian. And I am being generous.
Love,

-----------------------------------
Wow! Thanks guys. That was a fun little taste! I loved the way these gals looked like they were really enjoying themselves. That was a real treat.
Seeing Victorya's designs, it was obvious that she made a great effort to present a cohesive collection for fashion week with so many looks in such a short period of time. we have to recognize how difficult this may have been to accomplish as an independent designer. as for criticisms that it may be too "commercial," what designer hopes not to sell their clothes?? And for all of you who missed the show, the place was packed with great looking people who lined up in the rain, and the music was fabulous.
Thanks for the video, that was awesome.
And speaking of Fashion Week:
I just saw that the 5-part documentary 'Signe Chanel' is going to run back-to-back on the Sundance Channel tomorrow (Monday) starting at 4:30PM EST.
If you've never seen it, you should. It's a fabulous look at what goes into creating the Chanel couture collection, from drawings to show.
--GothamTomato
Must second what Gotham Tomato says about "Signe Chanel". It's a brilliant series and you can watch it on YouTube if you don't get Sundance. God, I wish it on DVD.

Wait 'til you meet the lady who has always done the Chanel braid!
Alright. So this has basically been bugging me since the beginning of the season, and I figured it was time to bring it to someones attention.

YES!!! i see it!! LOL --- never did before, but it's there (albeit a VERY young mick...)
anyway, as for the heidi dress -- it looks like a red towel wrapped around a black slip. don't like it at all. heidi rocks it - especially when you see it on the video, but it really does nothing for me. i get TLO's point about it looking more revealing than it really is, but it's just such a sack-ey look. of course you could put heidi in a brown paper grocery bag and she would look spectacular (the bitch....).
can't wait to hear the fabulous TLO commentary on victorya's collection -- i found it pretty boring on first glance. lots of cummerbunds and pretty bland styles & colors (except for the bright yellow).
loving all of the speculation on the final 4? 3?
Elisa

...resemblance?
No, I do not see a resemblance except for eye color.
Heidi can wear a paper bag and make it look good, but that red dres sucks. Ridiculous.
I am still waiting for Project RunGay to put up a video featuring that cute little victory dance that Christian Siriano did right after he won the Avant Garde challenge with Chris. It was TOO CUTE!! He actually looked like a hillbilly for a second there!
Thanks for the video, TLo, that was a hoot.
I love Heidi's hair in this, I really do. I want her hair. The gods have blessed her.
I wish they wouldn't have put the eternally fabulous Ms. Moreno in an "Ascot Gavotte" dress/hat ensemble that got dipped into Red Dye no. 2.
They all look adorable! Thanks, guys.
That dress is hideous. Marc Jacobs is so overrated. I wish Jay was showing at BP. I love his clothes.
george g, thanks for the response...lucky you!
gotham tomato, thanks for the heads up on the Sundance program...I'll set my DVR.
