Judging the Judges: Donna Karan Resort 2009 Collection 2008-06-10 09:10:52 Darlings, DonnaKaran
recently unveiled her 2009 resort line, which she calls "Bonjour New York." We have no idea why. Here's Donna explaining it to Style.com:
"It's sort of boudoir in feeling," Karan explained. The palette was one of soft makeup colors: blushes, pinks, and nudes. These were worked into textural suits and alluring dresses that gently bubbled away from the body Read more:Judging

Honestly, we don't know how the bitch does it. She's 61 years old and by every rule in the book, she should look tragic wearing such a short, skin-baring, youthful dress, yet somehow, she pulls it off.
Let this be a lesson to you ladies. It's not as if she doesn't look her age. It's not as if she has the body of Read more:Diane

A-List Awards - The Fashion Show 2008-06-13 13:58:30 Well.
That was kind of a bust, wasn't it? Not that it was completely without entertainment value. Certainly, Kathy Griffin could keep us entertained by reading her insurance policy. And Lorenzo says that the live version was a hell of a lot more entertaining than the broadcast one. For one, Kathy came out and started off by reading a list of the words that Bravo wouldn't let her say and she did Read more:Awards

:
Not bad.
We don't LOVELOVELOVE the dress, but it's appropriate for her. Whoopi always did make some questionable wardrobe choices, so this is definitely a winner based on past performance. The black is flattering to her, the ruffles aren't overdone, and for once, she gets to show off her legs.

Project Runway at the Daytime Emmy Awards 2008-06-23 12:16:05 Y'know, it's really a testament to the show that pretty much everytime there's a red carpet event now, you can bank on at least one PR designer's wares making an appearance. Perfect for us because it gives us more dresses to rip discuss.

The Homos look at Promos 2008-07-03 11:08:51 So we're watching Shear Genius last night and one after another, the Bravo promos for Season 5 of PR come up. We'd seen them before but not all of them in one night. Take a look:
Notice anything? Or rather, the lack of anything? Not so much as a glimpse of this coming season's crop of designers. It's nothing but a series of greatest hits clips. What's up with that?

audience to tune in between 9 pm and 11pm.
they can also log onto qvc to

Wasn't that a
fun episode? Good morning, starshine. Can I get you some coffee? Polish your nipple jewelry? Dress you?
