Wrong on the age, and I’m rather flattered at “idealistic”. Yes, I am idealistic. I like the IDEA that we could maybe, juuuust maybe, not let the whole joint be run by a couple of banks. Plus I enjoy cheering for a politician who can at least answer a question for once and doesn’t have to fall back on “BECAUSE I’M A…

Oh, don’t worry. I’m aware she’d be the first woman president. She has taken the liberty of reminding me and everyone else of that. At every opportunity. All the time. Whether it applies to the question at hand or not. Nobody is going to forget that Hilary would be the first woman president. It’s her chief, and only,…

“Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, has attracted the support of Katy Perry and Lena Dunham.”

God that is so fitting. I want to call it ironic, but it’s the opposite of irony. It is exactly what you’d expect.

I’m in a new building on a transition block next to the brownstones on Stuyvesant on the way to the Utica A/C. I moved to the East Village in 92 with the drug-dealers watching my van while I was moving in, Bushwick in 2001 with the cops at the hospital asking why I (tattooed white dude) was moving into that hood and…

I watch on the DVR so I can FF through all the gross, blatant product placement BS. I also hate the sponsor-driven stuff. It’s too forced and weird, and doesn’t usually lend itself to actual design and creativity. Challenges with clear parameters but less constraint at least allow the designers to, you know, design.

Disagree. I thought what Ashley did was simply what’s been trendy for the last few seasons; there are crop tops and mermaid/pencil skirts for plus ladies ALL OVER the place, ‘cause lately it’s been the thing to show off the shape and skin of plus women, it’s edgy or whatever. I thought her collection was pretty but…

She could have done a better job IMO. Considering she designs for plus size

Another major pet peeve with the Lifetime format: almost every challenge is SPONSORED by someone. I think that is the show’s ultimate undoing, unfortunately — I say this as a huge fan.

God, THIS. It drives me nuts that they repeatedly only give them one day and then are upset at the glue-gunned crap that walks the runway. Would it kill them to give them two days (a day and a half?) so that we can be properly wowed by what they managed to come up with? That is what got me hooked on the show in the…

A-freakin-men! This was originally a show about talent and creativity, but now it’s a time management competition. I get that the competition requires some time constraints, but I think this last season really makes the case for bringing back the creative competition, as opposed to the race to the runway that it’s…

Yeah, that is definitely Ashley’s polaroid dress. This is Edmund’s Hallmark card wedding dress.

Yep! This is Ashley’s dress made out of polaroids. This is Edmond’s dress:

Much, much agreed.

A lot of the problem came when they switched to Lifetime and one day challenges became the standard.

The last paragraph was what I was thinking when I read the headline. The show has been on for 14 seasons and has produced Christian Siriano and some people who have QVC collections. At some point, all these competition shows start attracting people who are more hungry to be on TV than they are to do whatever their…

This is Ashley’s dress I think? I love it but I’m not sure why it’s below the blurb about Edmund

As a Brooklyn resident for 16 years, I find it beyond annoying that “Brooklyn” is now supposed to be synonymous with young, obnoxiously artsy, entitled white kids living in Williamsburg while being subsidized by their parents. Kings County is the most populous of New York, and is full of (gasp!) people of color, yet…

I think we are all living in an elaborate sequel to the movie The Others.
