"Nice buns"?
#2 Throbert McGee at 1:07 pm on Oct 20, 2006
The question is, are there any puns that the Cute Overload commenters haven't beaten us to?

(I was gratified to see several people point out the grave error of having a red "ketchup" blob on the hot dog costume. Ketchup is okay on a highly spiced sausage, but a common wiener needs mustard.)

In Russian, a frankfurter-type sausage is known as a sosiska, but they have borrowed the term хот дог to describe a sosiska served po-amerikanski, in a soft bun with mustard.
#3 CCR at 9:36 pm on Oct 20, 2006
Yech. Who can stand either common weiners or mustard?

Ashamed as I am to admit it, I took a break from my hard labor to read Project Runway blogs when I should have been in bed.
#12 evariste at 1:42 am on Oct 21, 2006
What in the world are Project Runway blogs?
#13 evariste at 1:44 am on Oct 21, 2006
Oh. By consulting what you people call "Google", I see that this is what you people call a "show" on what you people call "TV".

One of these days I'll have time to catch up with all the television that's being created in the world. In the meantime, I"ll keep watching South Park, Futurama reruns, Animal Cops reruns, and Alton.
#14 evariste at 1:46 am on Oct 21, 2006
Animal Cops is Law and Order for people who hate people and like animals better.
#15 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 1:47 am on Oct 21, 2006
It's a competition show, kind of like American Idol or Survivor, but for fashion designers. And although I'd never watched it before (yet mocked it relentlessly), the last four episodes sucked me in.

There's this whole entire world of blogs that exist solely to recap the episodes and bitch.
#16 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 1:48 am on Oct 21, 2006
But Animal Cops doesn't have Jerry Orbach.

Since I don't know who he is, I don't know what I'm missing :-)

When I lived in Jordan, I really loved watching L & O. It was one of my few links back to the US. They used to run it on the 8 hours a day English-language government channel. I think it was JTV2 or something like that. Mostly JTV was annoying government propaganda and news, but they did have one or two English-language shows.

I got so angry at the PR judges for choosing Jeffrey, who made the ugliest freaking clothes.

My favorite was Laura. She showed a beautiful collection, clothes I would totally wear.

Ya know, in case you want to Google some more and wondered who my favorite was. Heh.
#22 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 1:53 am on Oct 21, 2006

Oh, Briscoe! Well why didn't you say so in the first place!

(I am simply terrible at knowing the names of actors. The only one I can confidently pick out of a lineup is Robert De Niro.)

Good lord, that last photo makes it look like her legs:torso ration is 4:1. Like an old man in Florida with his suspender pants pulled up to right underneath his bra.

Jerry Orbach was the guy who played Detective Briscoe for like 12 seasons of L&O.

I recall his obituary said he starred in the long running musical 'The Fantasticks' when it first started. Hard to picture him doing musicals, but I guess he did.
#36 evariste at 2:05 am on Oct 21, 2006
#33 סטרמי Stormiسترمي

Eww. Ewww!

Well, it's not so much the clothes as the fact that her skin has color in it. The other ones all look goth. And Jeffrey #1 has a terrifying, cruel face, like some kind of white Genghis Khan. The red in #3's clothes, lips, and skin just works great for me. I don't care if the outfit is tasteless (which it is) :-)
#37 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:05 am on Oct 21, 2006
He actually had a really successful stage career, then he played Baby's father in Dirty Dancing and a couple of years after that signed onto Law & Order.
#38 Ed Mahmoud abu GOMEX is Yellow and Tan! at 2:05 am on Oct 21, 2006
Jeffrey #1's model's boobs aren't level.
#39 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:06 am on Oct 21, 2006
Jeffrey's looks in # 2, 3 &4 are all the same model.
#40 evariste at 2:06 am on Oct 21, 2006
#4 Jeffrey has a fresh-faced honesty that's also very appealing.

I would rate them as follows, by ascending order of preference:

#3
#4
#2
#1
#41 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:07 am on Oct 21, 2006

I guess Katharine must have been extremely leggy.

She was, plus she pioneered the whole pants-for-women thing back in the 40's. Also the pants have an extremely high waist, which adds to the illusion. And also, that model is very very tall and leggy already.

I can buy #3 and #4 being the same girl, but #2 looks so different.

#44 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:10 am on Oct 21, 2006
There was an episode where Tim Gunn (their kind of mentor at Parsons) went to everybody's homes during their two months of preparing for Olympus Fashion Week, and Laura had some absolutely stunning pieces; a red gown with sparkles, and a velvet coat with a ruffled collar that I would kill somebody's grandma to own, and she didn't even show half the pieces that we saw during that home visit. She did use the green belt from the velvet coat on that silver gown though, when originally she had shown it with a red belt. She ended up taking all of the red out of her final 12 piece collection.

And what do you think of Laura's clothes?
#46 Ed Mahmoud abu GOMEX is Yellow and Tan! at 2:12 am on Oct 21, 2006
#3 is a bit bony for my tastes. Most fashion models are. I'm not really into white women, but Kate Winslet, well, I like a woman with a real figure.
#47 evariste at 2:14 am on Oct 21, 2006
I don't like Laura's #4/Hepburn so much. It just doesn't look natural. Her #1, #2, and #3 are attractive for the following reasons:

#1: curves and elegance
#2: vulnerability and cute knees
#3: sauciness and insouciance
#48 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:15 am on Oct 21, 2006
The coveted green velvet coat:



It's floor length, and that floral pattern underneath is a gown, which I didn't much care for. But I adore that coat.
#49 evariste at 2:15 am on Oct 21, 2006
Laura's #1 and #3 are my favorites.
#50 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:16 am on Oct 21, 2006
I love #3. I can't wear a dress that short because my legs are too stumpy and my knees are too chubby. But it's still gorgeous.
#51 evariste at 2:17 am on Oct 21, 2006
That is pretty nice. Blogger doesn't allow hotlinks so I had to manually load it though. I like the ruffles, and the bell-bottomey sleeves.
#52 evariste at 2:17 am on Oct 21, 2006
Is the pinstriped suit guy the designer?

#50 סטרמי Stormiسترمي
I love #3. I can't wear a dress that short because my legs are too stumpy and my knees are too chubby. But it's still gorgeous.

Another problem with #3 is that you probably can't pull it off without having teeny tiny breasts. Anything larger would just be asking for accidents.
#54 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:19 am on Oct 21, 2006
Another reason to hate Jeffrey: All of the contestants' moms or sisters showed up for one episode, and the designers had to pick another designer's mom to make an outfit for. Jeffrey made the mom cry, he was such an asshole, and he made the ugliest black sack. It was truly the most hideous thing I've ever seen. He didn't listen to his 'client' at all, and it was very poorly constructed.

#55 evariste at 2:20 am on Oct 21, 2006

That's Tim Gunn. He's a design educator and department head at Parsons.
#57 Ed Mahmoud abu GOMEX is Yellow and Tan! at 2:20 am on Oct 21, 2006
Laura's model has insufficient body fat for breasts. She may even have insufficient body fat for regular menstruation. (I forget the exact number, somewhere below 10%, an evolutionary adaptation that basically assumes a woman with abnormally low body fat is living in famine conditions and shuts down reproduction. It happens to anorexics and some long distance runners).

I mostly like his stuff. I question his #1, and I also question the horizontal stripes on the lower part of his #2 outfit. They distract from the beauty of the model and make her billowing more interesting than her bodily shape.

Another problem with #3 is that you probably can't pull it off without having teeny tiny breasts. Anything larger would just be asking for accidents.

Well the clothes are custom fitted to the models. Laura makes all her own clothes for herself to wear, and she's got boobs, and she's pregnant. The model just doesn't have any boobs. If it was for a regular woman, it would probably be made with a larger bust allowance, like regular clothes.

The fabulous Laura herself:

#61 evariste at 2:27 am on Oct 21, 2006
Laura's awesome. She could use a little more meat on her bones, but she wears her good taste very well. That picture of her in #60 is scarily mannish, though. She has a little too much jaw. But I love her auburn hair! I wonder if it's real.

Her outfit is almost like a toga. I like the simplicity.

That's not shadows on his neck. That's an ugly ass tattoo.

Tim Gunn visits Laura at home. Go check out her absolutely SICK Manhattan apartment. It seriously makes me so jealous I want to puke. Except for the turtle poop.
#64 evariste at 2:30 am on Oct 21, 2006

He reminds me of another hideous troll, J. Allard.

I'm getting confused between all the different designers and models :-) I did think Gunn's designs were Jeffrey's.
#65 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:30 am on Oct 21, 2006
The Project Rungay boys adore Laura as much as I do, and for that I adore them. Their blog is my favorite one.
#66 evariste at 2:31 am on Oct 21, 2006
J. Allard-do you see the resemblance?
#67 Ed Mahmoud abu GOMEX is Yellow and Tan! at 2:31 am on Oct 21, 2006
A tattoo that can't be covered by clothing is so tacky. I have no idea why they have a show about a tattoo parlor in Miami on TV, but there is one tattoo 'artist', Kat Von D, who would be quite attractive except she has a tattoo on the side of her head.


I once saw a guy on my ship with a spiderweb tat on his neck, and all I could think was, "Dude, you'd better stay in the Navy, because your job options are extremely limited".
#68 סטרמי Stormiسترمي at 2:32 am on Oct 21, 2006
Tim Gunn doesn't design clothes, but he has produced some paintings and drawings, and I think I heard him mention sculpture as well.

Not to mention, he's got the best vocabulary of probably anybody on tv.
#69 evariste at 2:32 am on Oct 21, 2006
Wow, 171 comments on Laura's apartment. I guess a lot of people are watching this show.

I don't know if J. Allard is an asshole, but I can't stand his stupid bald head and the stupid crap he wears, so I'm inclined to call him an asshole. I liked him better when he still represented the pudgy geek he really is :-) He's a Microsoft Vice President who used to be part of the XBox project and now he's working on the crappy Microsoft iPod ripoff they call "Zune". He just kind of looks like an idiot.

Anybody ever watch the M-TV show that has 16 year old girls, almost always selfish and spoiled, having Sweet 16 parties thrown by their millionaire dad's. The girls often have mini-tantrums over some minor glitch, which is the best part. There is usually a 'Vette or Escalade given at the end. I've watched it two or three times now, not sure why, except everything else on TV was crap or reruns.
