I suppose I find
the cutest, sad as that may be. Also like SLC boy. Twinkie with the highwaters is just a tad too precious. |

This is my friend's friend. I'm trying to get spoilers from her but she won't say. Very cool! If she won't give you any spoilers, at least get some gossip about stuff. |

Isn't it blatantly obvious that Bravo is trying to run this into the ground before handing it off to Lifetime? No promotion, the cast revealed two days
before the premiere, and now every single judge and challenge revealed before the show even starts?
To be honest, it pretty much sucks now. Good riddance, assholes. At least Top Chef is still on par. Pretty sad that the clone has surpassed the original in quality. |

In honor of tonight's season premiere a rememberance post from years past:
can't wait for tonight, bbs! 
Jay McCarroll Season 1 Once homeless in NYC Project Runway's first winner is back in front of the camera. The splashy designer, who's been selling his line off his Web site, stars in Eleven Minutes, a documentary about his creative process. McCarroll has been screening the film at festivals around the country and taking notes on his adventures - he updates his personal blog with his musings from the road. 
Laura Bennett Season 3 When she's not spending time with her six children, the season 3 finalist is spreading style tips as a blogger for iVillage, where she pens a column called "Case Clothed". Bennett's also been back on TV: Besides selling her designs on QVC.com, she appeared on Bravo's A-List Awards in June as part of a mini-Runway reunion where she designed a dress for model Nikki Taylor. 
Christian Siriano Season 4 The youngest-ever winner of Project Runway earned his place in the pop-culture pantheon when he was spoofed on Saturday Night Live. Life after Runway continues to be fierce for the 22-year-old: He's designing a runway show that will be featured in the upcoming movie Eloise in Paris and, in September, he'll debut his collection at New York Fashion Week. "I just want to have my own line, my own name," he tells PEOPLE. 
Mychael Knight Season 3 The season 3 second-place finisher has altered his name - from Michael to Mychael - but not his mission. Still working on retailing his own fashion line, the 30-year-old Atlanta designer recently launched a lingerie collection, Kitty & Dick, and used the $10,000 prize money he earned for being named a fan favorite on the show to develop a signature fragrance, MajK (pronounced Magic). Knight recently came out of the closet. 
Austin Scarlett Season 1 Known for his romantic creations on Project Runway and Gay Icon, Scarlett is making brides' dreams come true as the designer and creative director of bridal couture line Kenneth Pool, a division of Amsale. And the New York-based designer made his return to reality TV when he helped The Real Housewives of Orange County star Lauri Waring find her dream dress among his collection on the Bravo show last season. 
Chloe Dao Season 2 Since becoming the first - and only - female winner of Project Runway in 2006, Dao has watched her hometown Houston boutique, Lot 8, grow in popularity (with plans to open stores in New York and Los Angeles). And she's branched out, selling her wares on QVC and designing a line of electronic accessories available at Circuit City. 
Rami Kashou Season 4 Season 4's Gay heartthrob - and second-place finalist - Kashou is selling his clothing online and in boutiques across the country, like Bossi & Ich Ky in Seattle. Up next, Kashou's Project Runway designs will be included in the "Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design" exhibition at L.A.'s FIDM Museum beginning July 29. 
Daniel Vosovic Season 2 Following his second-place finish on Project Runway, the Marc Jacobs look-a-like, Vosovic didn't stray too far from Bravo; he blogged about the show's third season for the network's Web site. The fan favorite now enjoys a high-profile gig with NBC's Lipstick Jungle, where he styles the covers of Bonfire Magazine, a fictional high-fashion glossy edited by Kim Raver's character on the show. 
Kara Saun Season 1 The last female designer standing in the inaugural season of Project Runway, L.A.-based Saun (who had an infamous showdown with über-villain Wendy Pepper) has continued to work as a costume designer, most recently crafting outfits for MTV's America's Best Dance Crew. She's also using her celebrity to tour the country as an inspirational guest speaker on behalf of various organizations, including the Girl Scouts. 
Santino Rice Season 2 Remember the third place finalist and his larger-than-life personality? (Those Tim Gunn impressions were priceless!) Rice knows he's television gold, which is why he appeared on America's Most Smartest Model in November 2007. Up next, he'll take part in Gimme My Reality Show!, a Fox Reality Channel competition. The show is scheduled to premiere Oct. 11. 
Jillian Lewis Season 4 Since stepping off Runway, the runner-up has been producing the fall collection of her line, available in stores in mid-August. Besides working with private clients, Lewis is also merging art and fashion: She's creating a collection of dance costumes for a "Works & Process" performance at New York's Guggenheim Museum on Sept. 21 and 22. 
Jeffrey Sebelia Season 3 Nobody gives a shit. People |

An article about Suede in my local paper (spoiler tagged for length - the only 'spoiler' would be what the three outfits were that he presented at his
audition
Spoiler
Three little black dresses and blue-streaked hair launched Stephen Whitney Baum, aka Suede, on Bravo's "Project Runway."
The Seven Hills native was rejected twice by the reality show. He got nervous in front of the judges and camera crew. He combed down his blue mohawk. He tried again at an audition in New York in April. A calmer Suede, proudly sporting his unusual coif, showed three black cocktail dresses designed for three imaginary clients - a club diva, a starlet and a New York housewife. One dress was knit with an underlayer of silver panne, another was lace, and the third was velvet with a rhinestone necklace, Suede said. It worked, and Suede became one of 16 new contestants on the upcoming season of "Project Runway." It premieres tonight. Ohio is hot on "Project Runway." Designers Kelli, 27, and Terri, 39, both reside in Columbus. (Often, reality-show producers release contestants' first names only.) If you've never caught an episode, here's how the show works: Designer are given a fixed budget and time frame to design a look. Past challenges had designers making clothes out of what they could find in a Hershey's chocolate store and a supermarket. Judges Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and a guest judge decide who turned in the weakest work; that designer gets the dreaded "auf Wiedersehen" from the host, model Heidi Klum. Finalists will show their own lines at New York Fashion Week. The winner receives a spread in Elle magazine, $100,000 to start his or her own line, an opportunity to sell clothes on Blue fly.com and a 2009 Saturn. Suede, 37, already has enjoyed success in the fashion world. He did an unpaid internship with Geoffrey Beene, and was creative director for the Lee
Juniors and Lee Girls brands of Lee Jeans. He uses the nickname Suede, bestowed on him during his junior year at Kent State University, as his professional
moniker.
Despite his professional status, Suede brushed up on his sewing skills to prepare for the show, but "nothing can prepare you for 'Project Runway,' " he said by phone from New York. When we're told that the designers have nine hours to complete a challenge, it's really more like six or seven, he said. Time spent waiting for camera setups and interviews eats into the time. "You have to be on your toes and constantly thinking," he said. Suede revealed another behind-the-scenes nugget: Designers are not allowed to carry any patterns or supplies from one challenge to the next. "It evens the playing field," he said. Suede praised his fellow contestants, judges and designers' mentor Tim Gunn. "He exactly is what you see on TV," Suede said. He hopes "Project Runway" brings fame and private clients to boost the launch of his menswear line, dubbed Stlar 3. He hopes the line will launch in 2009. "It's such an amazing launchpad," Suede said about the show. "It's an awesome opportunity to express that side of me." |

Oh I missed that part about the closet with
Glad to see Jillian up there. In addition to Uli, I wish they had bothered to talk about Wendy. I know many people hate her, but I really liked her. |

well to be fair we don't get much advertising for it up here what with all the ads for igloos, that new whale blubber restaurant and Nanook's new
chat show.
