So we get an email from our good friend Alex that simply said "It has begun! Can I do a strip for you?" And lo, there was much rejoicing in the T Lo household.
In this installment, Alex lets his filthy straight boy tendencies get the better of him.
It's disgusting the way he objectifies these hard-working designers.

Good to have you back, Alex. Looking forward to more (please, please, please?).
Thanks Alex!
Loved your breakdown of the gals. Especially "I can't tell you two apart yet...."
Can't wait to see what you do this season!
Yay, I'm glad to see Alex back! And yes, there does seem to be quite a share of non-identifiable nerd girls this year.
Well, Hello Alex! It's so nice to have you back where you belong!
This IS the year of the nerd isn't it? (And as everyone who turns out to be anyone knows, nerds rule.)

P.S.- Why do all the straight guys immediately announce that they are straight? Maybe we can save them the trouble by catching them in big nets, attaching big tags to their ears, then releasing them back into the wild.
PS
I can't wait to see how you convey "tanorexic" via B&W!
Hahahahahahahahahaha! Snort!
I narrowly averted spewing Diet Pepsi all over my monitor. Gawd, it's good to see Alex back, and your objectification comment was hy-larious!
>>Maybe we can save them the trouble by catching them in big nets, attaching big tags to their ears, then releasing them back into the wild.<<
Let me get my suburban mom mini-van and we'll give chase!!
Oh, Alex, we've missed you.
Loved it! And as others have said, I can't wait for Blayne and Stella to get the Alex treatment!

Set up those nets at Home Depot stores, NASCAR races and football games. Bait them with "Free Tools" and "Free Hotdogs" signs and you're in business!
Now back to footage of Keith's pierced nipples...
Filthy straight boy tendencies can be quite charming actually.
welcome back alex!
thats what straight boys do, they always have to remind you now & then. i love my gay boys with all my heart but i know how you can over take a room :)
Oh, it's great to see Alex back!
TLo, apologies for veering off topic, but I'm having trouble keeping up with your prodigious output. Where are things with the D&D finals? Is it over--has Bette killed Kate yet?
Yay, Alex is back! Now get going on the fab weirdos, Alex, let's see the Cheroin and Tanorexic treatment pronto!
so demanding, we fans
"anotherlaura said: Alex, let's see the Cheroin and Tanorexic treatment pronto!"
You know, looking at the designers, could it be that they cast this season with Alex in mind. Hmmm...
--GothamTomato
"stubenvillesaid: Now back to footage of Keith's pierced nipples..."
Are they pierced? I wondered if I was just seeing things. Not that I was staring. I wouldn't do that. A Girl Scout is clean in thought, word, and deed.
--GothamTomato
ROFL! i love you Alex! you're my favorite nerdy bird <3

You must have been a Campfire Girl then. ;-)
Too funny Alex. It's true there are quite a few similar nerdy women this year. Will be interesting to see who will stand out. There's too many women, if you ask me. More cute men, please (as my husband groans)! Speaking of my hubby, he has complained every year as I watch this show and would never watch with me, but watched the first ep, along with Shear Genius, and appears to now be hooked on both. Another straight man lured into the fray . . .
Hottie Alex is back! Awesome!!!!
Our wishes have been granted!
Our cries have been heard!
He's back and...Well, uhm... we nerd girls out here have sort of a crush on you, too.
There. I said it.
-- desertwind
PS -- It's true. The girls this season are much more intriguing/fun/tough than the boys.
-- d'wind
Best news ever!!!! Alex is back!!!!
Yay! Alex is back!!! When can we expect a strip devoted to everyone's favorite Blayne de Soleit/Gollum/Tanman? Perhaps a touching one of the Duchess de L'Orange recognizing his long-lost lovechild? We wants to see the precious tanned one, yessss we doessssss, ooohhh, pleassssee, yessssss
(apologizing for inflicting my Gollum-mania)
yay! Alex! is back!
My favorite part of RunGay is back! Hurray! lol.
Why do all the straight guys immediately announce that they are straight? Maybe we can save them the trouble by catching them in big nets, attaching big tags to their ears, then releasing them back into the wild.
Yes, please do it will save us girls so much time if we could quickly identify them.
Yay, Alex. I agree, for a season supposed to be "diverse" they sure have a lot of matchy-matchy white girls.
Alex, all you have to do is keep your girlfriend around long enough to get a load of Keith. She'll shut right up.
And Kate is so gonna kick Bette's ass.
You know, for all the shouting beforehand, I really think I'm going to enjoy this season of runway, especially if we get lots of Alex cartoons!
Oh Alex! Je t'adore!
That cartoon is totally funny! Love it!
{Edited]
And Alex is on target with the girls this season! Also, Natalie Portman's guest judging episode is bound to draw in some straight guys, including my boyfriend, who found out somehow that she's coming on -- it must be like a bat signal in the sky, because he doesn't watch the show.
We're aware that another site out there posted a screencap of the PR wikipedia page, which supposedly gives away the winners and losers of the first five challenges this season.
We talked it over and we decided we don't want to link to it. Please don't link to it here and please refrain from commenting about it. It will ruin the viewing experience of many of our readers.
XO
TLo
Hahahahahhaha!!!
I just added "be cartooned by Alex" to my Bucket List!
Just wanted to help you out with the "Kelli looks like..." suggestions.
She looks like Candace Cameron!
That is all.
We love you, Alex!!! Welcome back!!!
Alex + TLo = Best Combo Ever!
Don't tell your girlfriend, Alex, but I think I have a crush on you : )
What a nice surprise! See, I'm kind of new here, Alex. I can't wait to see more. Great job!!
Thank you so much! I missed Alex and his fabulous strips.
Nice to have you back, Alex!

Yes it is! And so do I... ;-)
I read on AfterElton.com that there is a rumor that two of the gay designers on the current Project Runway are having a little romance. Anyone have any details?
"Suzanne said...

Seriously. Alex is the Hirschfeld of PR.
Who cares about the 100K - the big prize for contestants is getting Alex to do you (so to speak).
Hopefully someday he'll cartoon blog commenters, and when he does, I'd like to request that he make me look like the Jewish Little Annie Fanny (but entirely clothed, of course).
--GothamTomato
well, the filthy straight girl response to "can i do a strip for you?" by ANY boy is: YES, PLEASE!
and you can draw some comix for me, too!
sigh.
all the good ones: taken or gay, or both.
i'm a nerdy girl, but not in the hipster mode. i'm more subtly geeky than that.
lots of hipster girls, lots of people identifying their design as "urban." whatever that means.
Woo hoo!
Alex!, for some reason, I'm picturing you screaming "Stella! Stellllllaaaaa! while sketching her.
LOL! I missed Alex's brand of wit and fun, but didn't realize how much until seeing today's comic strip. Genius!
And I can't tell any of those girls apart yet!
When do I get to see the screencap of Wesley ironing his shirt? Seriously?

I don't read any other PR sites, so thanks for not spoiling the fun. But the conspiracy theorist in me has to know - do you think Bravo did it to sabotage the show? Or perhaps Magical Elves to stick it to the Weinsteins? Or perhaps the Weinsteins themselves because they are shameless media whores? The 80s had "Who Shot JR?". The aughts have "Who Killed PR?"
Welcome back Alex!
If you don't mind having a little harem, add me onto your nerdy hipster chick who has a crush on you.
Gorgeous Things, I think you're onto something there but then again, I'm a paranoid type....
Girl! I thought when he said "Can I do a strip for you?" I was on some dirty website.
Welcome back, Alex! Can't wait to see more from you for this season. I hope you do a little tribute to the boys of PR5. And don't forget, all are gay and one is straight.
- edina -
P.S. You absolutely MUST do single strips for our current season favs - Blayne & Stella!
Excellent, Alex! Thanks for sharing your talent and sense of fun with us.
Yay, Alex cartoon! Thank you for your work -- your comic references and self-portrait make me suspect you're actually some crazy alternate-dimension Scott McCloud creating "Understanding Project Runway" right before our eyes. And that's fantastic.
Also, as a bi girl, I'm glad to see that Korto and Leanne (ohh, Leanne, indeed) totally hit someone else's cute/nerdy switches too. Keith? Glasses on, please.
"And lo, there was much rejoicing in the T Lo household."... and much rejoicing in many a PRG reader household... welcome back Alex! we've missed you and your entertaining strips....
now if we can just find Bill -- i miss his witty repartee...hope he's just on a little vacation and will be back soon!
I LOVE it!
Forgive me, but as clever as Alex is (and he is), the first appearance of his cartoons led me to wonder if this blog jumped the shark.
I know Tom & Lorenzo are busy, especially now with new Shear Genius episodes on at the same time, but this is their blog.
Can we at least keep Alex cartoons to a relative minimum? They're good, yes, but Hirshfeld?!
Yaaaay the return of Alex's comics!
My husband also made the Beverly D'Angelo connection! I personally find the "weird/hot one and the hot/weird one" the prettiest of the lot.
YEAH Alex!
We missed you!
Thank you--
I love the cheat sheet!
Can't wait to see what you do with the guys.
An add me to the Alex! harem too--
Where can we get a T-shirt, or at least a certificate?
; )
worth the wait. definitely.
welcome back Alex!
Did you guys see the shirtless PPS pic?! Holy crap.

Hi Alex,

Gorgeous,
You might be on to something. Bravo just announced today it has a new designer themed show that they bought from the UK called "Fashion House". They're producing it w/ Magical Elves.
Here's the link:

Forgot to add the breakdown of the show:
FASHION HOUSE (working title)
"Fashion House" (wt), a creative competition program based on the British format of the same name, replicates the workings of the fashion business through a fashion house. Teams of designers will live together and work to create not just a single item of clothing but an entire, cohesive line. These collections are created on deadline and are presented to commercial buyers with the opportunity of having the designers' line mass marketed.
"gorgeousthings said: I don't read any other PR sites, so thanks for not spoiling the fun. But the conspiracy theorist in me has to know -"
There are other PR sites? I don't think so.
As for the conspiracy theories...I was wondering about who dun it as well. But I think it was just some disgruntled designer (upset they were auf'd too soon, in their opinion), or some crew person upset they are losing their gig - or someone with a grudge against Weinstein (which would be a looong list).
Either way, whoever did it was too stupid to realize that Wikipedia can see EXACTLY who is altering entries there**, and so Bravo or Weinstein, undoubtedly has their number by now, and if they signed a non-disclosure agreement, they are in a heap of shit this morning.
Anyone can get info from Wikipedia on exactly who is messing with their listing.
--GothamTomato
**There was a big scandal last year when Wikipedia released information about who was tampering with the Wikipedia listings of major news organizations - like the NYTimes & NBC, and exposed that it was those knuckleheads at FoxNews & the Post messing with their competition. If you have a Wikipedia entry, and anyone alters it (adds or deletes) Wikipredia will tell you EXACTLY who did it.
GT~
As often as TLo reference their own team (Read: Constantly and with a consistenly humorous result), am guessing they have no issue with a mention of the Hets by one of that ilk.
Why the double-standard?
Make it work.
