Since the producers love to drag things out and torture the PR audience, last night's episode wasn't really the finale, it was the finale PART ONE. The remaining four designers had $9,00 and four months to create collections. More »

This Week We Discovered You Can't Spell Palin Without PAIN

Jessica G. — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:10:00 EDT

Also check out what American Wife author Curtis Sittenfeld thinks about Sarah Palin!
Don't forget about comparing her future potential reign to Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale!
With all of this nonsense, we almost forgot it was FASHION WEEK! Check out Dodai's Project Runway Bryant Park show live blog and the rest of our fashion week posts.

Fashion Show: It Is So ON

Sadie Stein — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:40:00 EDT

And...it's started. The tents, the stars, the parties, the models, the hoopla, the absurdity, the agony, the ecstasy. Not the election season, silly, it's New York Fashion Week! Yes, this first show might be BCBG Max Azria, but we gotta work up to the big stuff. And even if it's not the most innovative line in the world — as usual it's drapey and cruise-ready — BCBG is one of the few fashion week shows that will actually be coming to a Mall Near You, so this ain't just theory, kids. To the tents! (Click on the pic to view a gallery of selected looks.) More »

Jennifer — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 10:15:00 EDT

NY Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn (left) ate Cheerios, ran into a bunch of famous people she knows, got coffee, saw a Vera Wang show that was supposed to be about "Rome" and she totally didn't see what was so "Rome" about it. Her blog is sort of like Cory Kennedy's blog, only with better punctuation.[NYT]
