oh, I love my alumni board

We have a resident conservative douchebag on our high school alumni board who I love to fuck with on there. In response to McCain's VP announcement today, I wrote the following:

Republican women will be creaming their panties over this choice but if he thinks Democrat women are gonna come flocking to his side, I think he's sadly mistaken. It's so obvious he picked her for one reason and one reason only. She has a vagina and he thinks that's gonna pull in the extra votes he needs. Those disgruntled Hillary supporters don't want just any woman in the White House, they want Hillary in the White House. And the only thing she and Palin share is a Y chromosome.

Her inexperience is going to make a lot of people nervous. And it's going to highlight his age issue. She's got no military experience, no international experience, and if McSame drops dead a year from now (which, let's face it, while sad, it's a very real possibility with a 72-year-old man with skin cancer), this woman's prepared to lead? Laughable.

Plus, Biden's gonna hand her ass to her in the VP debates.

Other than his serving his country, the only thing I've got to thank McCain for is ensuring that the next few months will provide some of the best. entertainment. ever.

This was his response:

Aside from your rather vulgar and tiresome discourse you not surprisingly failed to mention that the only one here running for high office with real lack of experience (except maybe in BS) is Obama. Only thing I can say in his behalf is that he talks nice which I’m afraid is more than I can say for you.

Skip, dear...I'd like you to fucking eat me. And all the prim and properness that comes along with it.

Project Runway - Episode 7 - vroom! vroom!

Episode 7: Challenge: Create an outfit from Saturn car parts."

Yowsa. That's like me taking apart my old-ass Fort Escort and throwing together an outfit. I bet I could have used the gold hubcaps, at least. Good to know that some wanna-be fashion designers have much more innovation than I do. This was a tough one because I think nearly everyone really came up with something fantastic, especially given the materials they had to work with.

The Official Winner

Designer: Leanne
Personally, I'm not a fan of the additional hips thrown on this leathery number...I just don't like the look. But this dress looked absolutely flawless. I do think Leanne has some great ideas and so far, always comes through and meets the challenge. I think this one also proved that the girl is just plain talented when it comes to executing her design. One of the judges told her she could go straight to Paris with this dress and the craftsmanship, for something they had 2 days to throw together out of car parts, was amazing. Although I don't like goofy-shaped skirt, I can get behind this design having won.


The Official Loser

Designer: Keith
Oh, Keith. You're pretty to look at but holy hell, do I hate to hear you talk. The outfit doesn't look too bad in this photo but the skirt looked pretty shoddily made and the back looked like a big ol', not put together mess. When criticized by the judges (ya know, 'cause that's kinda what they're there for), he blamed the model for having to sit down while in hair and makeup and then went on to whine about how he was so disappointed in last week's performance and the criticism he got for that. Challenge after challenge, he just doesn't seem to cut it. So buh-bye, Keith. I agree with that booting too.

Who Should Have Won
I did love Leanne's design and I'm okay with her winning. But there were also a couple others I really loved.


Designer: Suede
Obnoxious, third-person guy? Yes. But I do like his stuff. And for this challenge, I thought his design was great. I'd totally wear it. Look, shiny!!


Designer: Jerell
There's nothing really of Jerell's that I'd wear but I fucking love this outfit. It doesn't scream, "look, I'm made out of car parts!" nor "look at my fashion forward, futuristic outfit!" I think he's creative and innovative and follows through on those with being able to really make his things look well-made. I do kinda wish he'd won this one.

Project Runway - Episode 6

I love vacation but I just got around to watching last week's Project Runway. Oy!



The Official Winner

Designer: Joe
Finally, my man wins! Although I'm not a huge fan of pink, the outfit he refers to as "Ann Margaret on the Love Boat" looks absolutely fantastic on Ms. Varla Jean Merman. She's pretty close to smokin' hot for a drag queen, as far as I'm concerned.


The Official Loser

Designer: Daniel
Dude, seriously. I could take this to Cancun next month for a night out of dancing. I don't think it's at all drag queen material and as Nina said, he's fallen short on a couple challenges and is always "my taste is impeccable and I'm fabulously sophisticated" when he gets the slightest bit of criticism. Pretty dress but it was definitely time for Daniel to go home.

I couldn't agree more with the judges choices this time around.

Project Runway - Episode 5

"Episode 4: Challenge: Create an outfit for Brooke Sheild's character (a bohemian-esque woman, now married to a musician and running her own studio company) to wear on her television show, Lipstick Jungle. Something that can be worn at the office and worn for a night on the town with her girlfriends."

This was a partner challenge, which is always wildly entertaining because there's all sorts of personalities on this show. They all pitched a design, 6 of them were chosen, and then those 6 people chose partners with whom to work. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a couple of the other pitched designs but I guess that's really a moot point.

The Official Winner

Designer: Keith, worked with Kenley
I was rooting for this one to win too. I love the colors, it's classy enough for the office but still fun and flirty for a night out. Keith's a serious tool and I hate that we'll have to listen to his "I'm the awesomest designer ever" talk for another week but I do think that with the exception of his wind machine-created dress, he's done pretty well so far.

The Official Loser

Designer: Kelli, worked with Daniel
I agree that this one was the worst of the designs and a bit on the trashy side but I think Daniel should have gone home, not Kelli. So far, Kelli's put out some fantastic designs and Daniel's been...well...eh. He claims to be all about having this impeccable and glamorous taste but so far, he's kinda done crap. I think we would have seen more great outfits from Kelli had she stuck around but Daniel? I'm not expecting much. So while I can get behind the idea that his design is trashy and not something to wear to work, Daniel should have been sent packing.

I really am having a problem with Nina's and Michael Kors' thought processes this season.

Project Runway - Episode 4

"Episode 4: Challenge: Create an outfit for the American teams to wear during the Olympic Opening Ceremonies."

The Official Winner

Designer: Korto
The only thing I didn't care for about this outfit was that the small amount of blue she had looked black. I love the linen pants, I think the entire outfit looks comfortable and could be worn by a lot of female athletes and still look sharp.

The Official Loser

Designer: Jennifer
Even though I hate Judge Nina, I couldn't agree more with her comment that Jennifer just can't separate her own taste from the challenges. She's very feminine and girlie, which is adorable but not necessarily always appropriate for the challenges. There's not a thing American nor sporty about this outfit and sadly, I was glad she was booted.

Who Should Have Won

Designer: Joe
I love Joe. I was okay with Korto winning but I do think Joe got robbed a bit. I think the colors and the sportiness make up for the funky length of the skirt portion of his skort. I think he was the only one who very obviously knew from the get go what kind of challenge this was and how to incorporate it into his design. So far, it's him and Terri whose outfits I see and think, "I can't wait to see what they do for the next one."

Project Runway - Episode 3

"Episode 3: Challenge: Snap some photos of New York City and design an outfit inspired by one of those photos."

The Official Winner

Designer: Kenley (aka Betty Page)
I like Kenley and I generally really like her pinup girl aesthetic. And I adore The Golden Girls, I really do. But I don't want to see an outfit created from the chairs found on their Miami patio. I like the colors in this dress but the style is just too 1980s Golden Girls vs. Dallas vs. Knots Landing vs. Dynasty. No way should she have won this challenge.

The Official Loser

Designer: Emily
And no way was this the losing dress for this challenge...Emily got royally shafted on this one. I think she mainly lost because it's a dress we've seen millions of times but it was made really well and it's a great looking dress.


Who Should Have Won

Designer: Leanne
Leanne was the other designer shafted in this challenge. This dress is gorgeous. Clean, sleek, classy. I want it.

or


Designer: Terri
So far, Terri's shown that she's uber talented and has fantastic taste. I think this outfit is very urban, the colors are gorgeous, and I always tend to love the separates more than the dresses.

Who Should Have Lost

Designer: Keith
Despite his being a little too "I'm the guy," Keith's so freaking hot. But this dress was wretched. I believe it was Michael Kors who told him it looked like toilet paper caught in a fan. I love Michael, I couldn't have agreed more, and I think Keith should have gone home on this one.

Project Runway - Episode 2

"Episode 2: Challenge: The green challenge in which the designers were to create an outfit made from eco-friendly materials."

The Official Winner

Designer: Suede
Suede speaks in the 3rd person and Janelle hates when people speak in the 3rd person. Janelle wishes Suede would shut his trap but Janelle was relatively happy with his having won this challenge. I think it's a very young, cute, and fun dress.

The Official Loser

Designer: Wesley
I really liked Wesley but this dress was a mess. I love the fabric and the color but it looked like something I could have made and I know absolutely jack about designing or making clothes. I think he's probably quite a bit more talented than what this dress demonstrates but he just didn't cut it for this challenge.

My Other Possible Winner

Designer: Terri
I think Terri will make it to the Bryant Park. This is an outfit I could see any woman wearing and it's just plain classy and stylish.
