Project Runway S05E07 -- The Hunk Who Cried

This week's challenge was slightly similar from the first one but with a totally unexpected source of materials. CAR PARTS! I thought that they would go and destroy those cars by Saturn and I was like...are they spending that much just for a challenge? Well, there's no way that's gonna happen and the materials were inside the car..whew!
Leanne...winner!
Korto
Jerell

It was pretty exciting to see the out comse especially because none of 'em ever experienced doing something like that. I remember Leanne said that she has no idea or whatsoever on what to do with all those junk. Turned out that the designers surprised themselves on how those stuff would look like made in to clothes. Korto and Jerell did an amazing job that was well responded by the judges but Leanne for me was such a revelation. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Super well made and impressive silhouette. Even Miss Rachelle Zoe was blown away by it. BTW, this girl reminds me of Marie Genevieve of PRCanada...

Keith was one of my early bets to win this season (for a non-skill related reason to be honest...hehe) and everytime he lands on the edge of being eliminated I'm pissed. Now I'm pissed not because he got eliminated, but because of his attitude all through out the challenge. Being at the bottom two last week made him so depressed and grumpy, and masungit na rin with his competitors. Didn't do him any good at all. But I was extremely touched when he started to cry after saying goodbyes with the other designers. It's not everyday you see a big fella crying on TV right? I believe that he has this huge passion for fashion but perhaps this competition just ain't the right venue for him...

Project Runway Pinas S01E05 -- Open Your Eyes!!!

Tonight's challenge is a classic in the American counterpart of the show. Take pictures around Cubao Expo to take some inspiration for the designers' work. Time Square sure is fancy but hey, you can't deny the rich culture and stuff we have here in our own back yard...

OMG! I'm just so f*ckin annoyed with Aries!!! I'm sure the guy he flirted with in the fabric shop threw up right then and there. One thing about this squealing pig (ooops...too mean) is that he's trying to speak in English with "slang" and I was like...are F*ckin kidding me? Tagalog pa nga lang di na maideretso english pa kaya.

Not much drama this week except for Bo who misses the outside world. After watching tons and tons of reality shows alike, more or less I know what he feels like. Rajo and the judges were really tough this time around but very understandable. Long speeches from the judges and even the guests were highly opinionated. While watching the main elimination part, I just stopped guessing who'll be out because everyone had their share of criticisms, maybe except for Jaz...

Obviously, Jaz was named the winner and Philip came in second. Bo bursted into tears after knowing he's safe. Lucky guy Mr. Eli Gonzalez. He still made it at least a week further. Winnie got eliminated...

Galing nito... fan made daw pero eto mismo yung ginagamit sa show...

Project Runway S05E06...the guy who made a Pteroductyl out of Gay Jurassic Park

This have to be the craziest, wildest, gay-est challenge that a gay Project Runway contestant would die to do. Seriously, it was a roller coaster thing.

The clients were drag queens and to make a new look for them is this week's challenge. To help introduce the girls to the designers, Chris March of season 4 was there dressed in a costume that he probably made. He looks better in drag (just an opinion). As it should be, it's all about the show dahling...

The guys in drag were very random in the sense that they could be an easy client or a bitchy one. The girl named Sweetie ain't sweet at all and that Lettuce girl was a bit too bitter. I was actually surprised how different they look like out of those costumes, thick make-up and gi-normous wigs... Well, you can't expect much on the fat ones but the big and tall ones, oh boy, oh boy are they hot! Body better than some gym buffs out there. Blayne's the one who made the Pteroductyl dress outta Gay Jurassic park as what Tim described it because of the 'wings' criss-crossing at the back. And for the first time, I felt sorry for Suede because of the remarks his client given him (that he's lazy and stuff)...

If some of this designers enjoyed themselves with the challenge, much more were the judges. RuPaul was this week's guest judge, drag queen extraordinaire. Terri's, Korto's and Joe's were the judges faves but Joe's work stood out (I have to admit, he did a good job) and named the winner of the challenge. It's Daniel's turn to go home after making a bad impression to the judges of being unattentive and doing a dress that's just not drag-aliscious at all... I wonder if he and Wesley were back together now...

By far, Korto and Terri were the consistent judges' faves. I'll bet that one of these two girls could possibly be the winner this season...

Blayne...
Korto...
Suede...
Terri...
Joe...went sailor and won the challenge

Project Runway Pinas S01E04

Drama, drama, and more drama. Is that too much telenovelas we're watching? Nope, just PRPhil. I was just a bit sleepy already by the time the show started and by the time I realized that it's on, Veejay and Eli were already in the middle of a word war. Basically it was about each other's work "copied" or whatever. Only thing that I remember was the line by Eli that goes something like "You look like a worker here" or something and Veejay was like "You're just insecure of me".

And so PRPhil did something a bit different from the usual model selection. In a "pool party". I'll be expecting for more of these as the show progress and the more they do it, the more I'll love 'em. Tatak Pinoy ata yun ah?! Challenge was to make a beachwear that could go from day to night. By the way, I still am having some difficulties connecting that makulit but charming face of Eli with his awesome, muy caliente physique (hey Eli if you'll ever get across with this post...hehe...the compliments are from me!).

Then there goes the drama again, though less intense. For a second I thought I was watching a highschool guidance counceling session when Jojie talked to Eli and Veejay about the previous challenge issue. O sya, sya tama na yan. The runway show finally arrived and all I can see was Apple's face making the least reactions as if she's wearing a hard mask all the way through the show. Everytime the camera catches a glimpse of her, there's just one look. I guess Ivan broke that 'barrier' and finally made her smile. Theresa's looking better and better for me.

After all the discussions and deliberations. Decision made and Aries named the winner of the challenge (YUCK!) and Miss Charette Regalla of Pasig City was eliminated... Celebrate now and do your yuppiedoodles while you can. I'm pretty sure you won't get the ulitmate prize anyway... Bwahahaha!

Dita Von Teese...hired by Belo for $200K?

I was watching this news show on Studio23 before the Good Times which was on 11 pm (Yes loyal, pachiz burger ka naman...este ako pala...hekhek!). I was surfing the net while the news anchor said something about Belo and Von Teese so I instantly got myself to face the TV. I like the miss fab Dita. She's friends with Sutan (that Asian make-up artist in ANTM). At first, I thought what I heared was something like Viki Belo would do a Dita Von Teese dance video or what. Apparently and definitely I'm wrong bout that. It was said in the news that Dita performed at the 18th Anniversary celebration of Belo's company. The issue was that Belo paid the Burlesque Queen Extraordinaire some eye popping amount of money which she denied.
Geez...Lucky guys who were there enjoyed he flawlessness...



Damn gorgeous on the outside, crazy ass lady in the inside. I mean, who's in her right mind to marry someone that looks like Marilyn Manson unless maybe because of the bling and the caching-ching. That's why I love her.

By the way, I don't think that TJ Manotoc is that good of a reporter, much more of a 'news anchor'. Just ain't good... Better as a Sport commentator or something.

Getting Crazier over her choice of Gurlz...

Who else but Tyra. Even if you disagree with a lot of her decisions and opinions, still she's always be Tyra and go against the wave. "She's just fierce and ya'll just hate her. I dunno, but I love her." -- Tyra

Look at her justify her choice of this coming season's contestants. Why the hell broadcast the girls before the show even starts? The whole preliminary elimination and castings would be a non-sense thing since ya'll know who're gonna be called, right? So anyways...

In this video I think Tyra's looking...a bit old? And the Neki..Neike..whatever, that Scandaleisha looking girl, I just thought that Tyra talked just too short and too safe about her. I wonder why... I still wonder why... And finally, Marjorie. I just adore this girl. Almost like Agyness in a way...



I've almost forgot bout this one. Remember the homeless shoot in cycle 10? I think the Isis girl wass one of those girls who served as back up models...

And just for the tease...

Ultimate Fashion Drama on TV...I swear

Literally a "Devil Wears Prada" reality show. I'm not sure yet but I might watch this show. It's simply a show that exhibits how crazy this industry could possibly get. Go be a maggot before getting the job you've been dreaming about. People, STYLISTA...Ty ty baby is one of the producers of this show (I heared).

Project Runway S05E05

Even if team Philippines have the medals slipping through their fingers in the Olympics at least we have a fight on Project Runway. Boy are we talented...

Surprising enough that PR Philippines and PR in America almost have the same challenge and they both worked in pairs this week. Challenge is to make an outfit for the character of Miss Brooke Shields in Lipstick Jungle. I thought Jerell and Stella's team would win this because of the very cohesive work they did but never the less I'm glad on who won. Keith Bryce. I'm not crazy about his choice of partner. Yeah she's good enough but the way she acted towards Daniel's words in the panel...geeez. I believe based on what I saw, every team have had some issues towards the partners concept because basically their way too different from each other as designers. Well maybe except for Jerell and Stella. Terri and Suede got some problem with the shirt construction; Daniel and Kelli had an issue with the skirt; Keith and Kenley had some issues with the choice of fabric; then the bitch came out of Korto when Joe almost dropped her like that in front of Tim. With all this said and done I still think that most of them did pretty well on the challenge. With Blayne and Leanne's, right from the meeting with Brooke there's got to be something that would go wrong with the design and that's just what happened. Blayne almost got eliminated because of not listening at what Brooke's concerns about hid design.
And so it was Kelli who got the boot because the judges thought, and Brooke thought, and even I thought that taste level was not there at all. I guess leopard just ain't lucky...
Jerrel and Stella
Terri and Suede
Keith and Kenley * Winner

...blog after blog after blog...

Now I don't usually promote other blogsites but I'll make an exemption with this one. I was jumping from blog to blog just to read some nice stuff. Not to pirate anything ok!

I'd like to share you guys this blogsite entitled "Choux Pastry Heart". If you like some interesting insights on what fashion is like, I bet you'll love this one. Not your ordinary fashion show reviews or what's hot what's not kind of stuff. This photo is from that site. I'm loving this girl! Behati Prinsloo.

Talkin Queer?

Heatherette is simply one of my fave designers out there. Outrageous, fun, quirky. I believe a lot of people around the world love this guys. Oh by the way, I have to say that this one's not for the homophobes...
Richie Rich and Traver Rains...
Honestly, Richie Rich's name intrigued me when I heared of his name. Eventually I figured out why his name is such. Just look at him closely if you still don't get me.
I first saw this guys in ANTM cycle 3 where they had the girls dressed in their fashion show. If I'm not mistaken the title of the runway show was Panic of the Circus. They just love the over the top designs and that's what Heatherette made of. These guys really had fun guesting in fashion reality shows like ANTM, Make Me A Supermodel, and Project Runway. Each guesting were very remarkable to me. In Make Me a Supermodel, again they dressed the contestants with their signiture looks. The Jay guy reminded me of the bald dude in the 300 movie. Then in Project Runway, they served as guest judges for the lady wrestlers' costume challenge. That was hilarious though Michael Kors is the one who really enjoyed himself watching the girls...
Heatherette, I salute you guys. Just keep the party goin guys! Ciao!

Time Pieces of Glamour -- Ulysse Nardin

Made for perfection through time, that's what Ulysse Nardin have to offer. My first impression when I saw their website: effortlessly elegant. I've never seen such time pieces as special as these.
Each and every piece were made in the highest quality as the tradition goes from 1846 up to the present. Each one were carefully and intricately designed made for your own satisfaction and liking. Too many to choose from so better make up your mind what's best for you before having one, or two, or a whole lot of them. In my opinion, the prices are very reasonable. If you want the finest, for sure it is ok to spend some extra. As for me, I'll definitely get my own in the future. One of my favorites here is the Maxi Skeleton from the Ulysse Nardin Specialties collection. I also love the Ulysse Nardin Complication collection because of the uniqueness of each watches.
So to all of you out there who're planning to buy one, whether for yourself or as a gift to special someone, Ulysse Nardin is the place to find one. Fashionistas, this one's for you... I'm pretty sure, you're itching to have your own now. Me too! Hehehe! Anyone want to give me one? JUST kidding! Check 'em out and see for yourself one of the worlds finest.

Miss Fabulousity...(hope i spelled it right)

Heared the word fierce for like thousands of time from Tyra Banks and Christian Siriano. Time for a new "f" word. Fabulousity!
I've been watching Kimora Lee Simmons' show in ETC 2nd ave (Kimora Life in the Fab Lane) and got hooked to it. Fabulousity is her word and so are her assistants so I'll just call her Miss Fabulousity. Now I see why she's friends with Tyra a.k.a. Miss Fierce. They may be friends but guess if I'll have to pick one over the other, I'll go with Simmons. Sorry Tyra, I love you so much but I have to say Kimora is just the kind of beauty that I adore. It is really wierd to have a cross between Japanese and African American but just look how gorgeous Kimora turned out. As what she said in her show, she's a mogul, a label, and ultra fabulous super model. I bet her daughters would be big in their own time. Everything luxurious and fab, name it, she got it. I think that's just how the term fabulousity works and her life is the epitome of it.

delightful way of spending a WEEKEND

Ever since I was a kid, I'm in to art. You can see all my scribbling every where with out the exemption for our walls. My parents saw this talent in me that they started to expose me into art at an early age. They made me saw those fabulous art works in malls and museums. I couldn't be more inspired then to start my own little masterpieces.

This interest grew in me that I ended up taking Architecture as my course in college. Famous and historical structures has always been my center of interest in my course. When I found out about the ‘First Friday Weekend Art Walk’ in America's oldest City, St. Augustine, Florida, I was like "what a way to spend a weekend!" I couldn't find a better place to pay a visit on my first weekend of every month. Paintings, photography, music and of course, Architecture all in one venue. The art gallery features only the finest collection of awesome creations by St. Augustine's artists. Best of all, free parking and sightseeing Train and Trolley tours are available here. Mark the dates December 7 and 8, Friday and Saturday on your calendar! It would be a great feast for both our eyes and ears!

HOT Avril Lavigne!!!

Her new song might be around for quite a while now. I saw her music video of HOT couple of minutes ago and it speaks for its self. Definitely, absolutely HOT HOT HOT! I'm not that much of a Avril fan though I really enjoy her music and sense of character. She's hot indeed!

I adore her fashion style! OH gosh! Sassy and punk! LOVE her.

Freaky ending...

Another ANTM episode ended. Shocking this time. At the first minute of the show, I'm like "ok I'm bored", because again, you can easily predict who's going to be out. But most definitely, the ending was not as expected. Kindda creepy for me because it was like a clip from a documentary in a life of someone who just died or something. Ambreal girl, I don't know if you have to be happy at all.

Anyway, I still have my picks for the week. Jenah and Heather impressed me most this week with their photo shoot. I can't help but say WOW to this girls. Especially to Heather when she won the challenge with Heather and Ambreal. Nice shoot with Mary J. Blige too.

Looking fashion forward working out the card board boxes...

Doing good not on a profile this time...Gorgeous!

CKlein

One hell of an EMPIRE he established! He designed the jeans that the young 15-year old Brooke Shields endorsed with the line "nothing comes between me and my Calvins".


YOU bet they simply make MILLIONS a year... From suits, trousers, dresses, fragrances, not to mention the hot underwears... Who won't want to keep his/her own calvins?
