architectural sensibilities + political ambitions-

Both our fave project runway designer/contestant won this past wednesday. YAY!!!


This was great cos leanne really deserved it as she definitely possesses an aesthetic quality that is rare in artistry and her designs were often surreal, dreamlike abstract metaphorical ideas created out of fabric and with precise detail and symmetry. her talent is something to be admired and the kind i wish i certainly possessed. her mind was like that of a person who designs architecture. her clothing was in fact very structured like that of architecture so it was extremely mesmerizing and fascinating to watch her create. also despite her youthfulness, she had this otherworldliness maturity that was very enlightening yet she was able to embrace her inner child. playful innocence.

I felt that leanne was the most deserving of the title because she thinks in ways that only great artists do and its truly creative. also her humble personality, modesty, and down to earth persona is what i found so refreshing and attractive. people who are catty, stuck up, show off, and brag are not my cup of tea and have little patience for the likes of people who act that way. GOOD riddance kenley!!



Proj runway winner vs election

Elsewhere in entertainment, Leanne Marshall is the winner of Project Runway Season 5, but the final episode had some competition last night: "It was as if some force of evil was trying to keep me from watching the season finale of Project Runway," writes The Ride. "I was too through when I found out that the final Presidential Debate was scheduled at the same time on the same evening as my beloved show." If you chose to watch the debate, rest assured that Gawker both live-blogged the final episode of Project Runway AND did a wrap-up: "For me and many of you—you too, Joe the Plumber—the finale was a relief... finally this sad vessel of Saturn and spite has finally found port and won't trouble our waters any longer." It's easy to feel the same sense of relief that the election is almost over.

PS we chose to watch both the debate and project runway that evening. life is so much easier -harmonious- FULL- when you have brighthouse's DVD-R player. we would be SO lost without it. we've only had it for two yrs and I cannot believe how dependent we are on that- we would not be able to watch half the shit we do or take turns recording each others fave tv shows since we often have different tastes and what i love he hates and what he loves i despise LOL the joys of men and women finding balance in a relationship and learning to compromise when it comes to MAN's one most sacred territory- the television, remote control and dominating what we get to watch every nite. Oh he has come far - believe me but its taken a certain amount of abrasive fighting and training to make it to this point of harmony in our lives :)

kenley- the girl we love to hate.

kenley_l



Da Brat Kenley's attempt at hip-hop style only served to show her bratty side

thought:

why is kenley such a bitch /sometimes talented but mostly predictable with her fifties obsession and pretentious remarks, eyerolling and sarcasm. she thinks she is the shit. it sure looks like [even though she is the one everyone loves to hate] that the judges have a secret love for her since she has managed to make it to bryant park week.

i admit both my fiance and i have been praying for her elimination the last 3 or more episodes but she is like a cockroach that just won't die or go away. i admit her wedding dress design came out absolutely elegant and was quite impressive but her annoying personality makes it hard to want her around.

i realize she is creative, but i really hope she doesnt win because i simply don't feel she deserves it and she is nothing more than a spoiled bitch who prob has gotten her way for much of her life. we've been rooting for leigh-ann from oregon/ portland pretty much from day one!!

project runway blurbs and sheer genius -

two fave project runway blurbs from michael kors judge

"it looked like a handywipe gone wrong"
"it looked like toilet paper caught in a windstorm"
also blayne- the tanorexia guy and the faces he makes, his strangely shaped funny eyes
and stella the trashbag motorcycle biker prostitute designer with her tough ny accent and rough look " lethhh-ah"

other fave bravo reality tv show-

sheer genius- hairstylists competing-

kim vo with his smirky lip smile and scrunched squinty eyes from smiling so hard at everyone.
and other stylist with his "hi-hi"'s
oshun -
no longer on the show, let go on the first episode but his persona was so hilarious that mmy and i always refer to him - repeating lines he said because he made us laugh a lot. with his: oshun. i've got the potion and the motion...my name is ohhh--shun and i'm deep" he enjoyed bragging about how he had a few emmy awards for doing famous celebs hairstyles. we knew it couldn't be true. i had never heard of him and both jimmy and i looked at each other laughing, saying to each other, is he FOR REAL? lol apparently many of the other contestants and his closest peers thought the same of him. saying oshun was something of a bullshit artist or something to that effect. we believed them!

currently, charlie and daniel are most amusing and seem to have great talent in hair.
charlie is the artsy cynical arrogant one with blk glasses- he loves to talk behind everyones back and is very sarcastic- i know he can be mean but i find him very amusing and hilarious.

daniel's boyish exuberance and overexcitedness about everything is highly amusing and entertaining to me- he actually exclaimed how he wet his pants when the orange county housewives were on the show as a haircut challenge for the show. daniel spoke of how he had a party for the orange county housewives trash reality show's finale cos he just loves them so much. most distinctive about him-- his texas drawl and love of hair spray, big hair etc.
