Season 4 Designers at the PR Finale Party

Whew! I feel like I'm finally catching up with life, the universe and everything. First off, thank you to everyone for saying such nice things about how I looked on Wednesday night. I really feel like Cinderella. I promise not to let it go to my head.

Ha! And if you believe that, come over here and look at this lovely bridge I am selling.

No seriously - I won't. My best friend Barb will make sure of it. She's good for smacking me back down if I get bad.

Anyway - the party! So when last we blogged, the Fabulous Project RunGay Boys and I were gadding about, chatting up and photographing all the designers we could get my digital SLR in front of. And of course, that includes the current crop!

First up, The Winnah, and New World Champeen... Christian!

I had no opportunity to talk with him. I swear, the poor kid couldn't go to the bathroom without a posse of paparazzi trailing him. I'm just thrilled I was able to get a picture. What I can say about him is that he's teeny! And he has huge feet! What's that say about a man, again? Oh yeah... His boyfriend was there, and I wish I had gotten a shot of him. He and Christian have the Exact. Same. Hairstyle. It's really kind of cute. Say what you will about how he came across on screen, you have to admit that the kid is crazy talented. I was really very happy for him. And he was, indeed, fierce!

Now, speaking of how people come across on the screen, Carmen was there. Can I tell you? The woman is absolutely gowachuss! But even more than that? She is a sweetheart.

Honestly. She is a doll. I would sit down with her for coffee and bagels any time. I think she must have gotten on the bad side of one of the producers, because they edited her to seem like either a major bee-yotch or a whack job. She is neither.

Jack was there too.

Sweet Pea!

You know, some people seemed to really dislike her, but I always thought she seemed talented and nice. Well honeys, let me tell you. She's nice and she is SO much prettier in person. I told her that and she got all gosh-golly and so cute. I love this picture of her with Lorenzo.

Work it girlfriends!

I got a shot of Ricky. He is as cute as a button. I just wanted to give him a pinch on his little punum! I only got to talk with him for a second before he had to do the press gamut, but he was very gracious.


My personal favorite - the man I would love to just hang out with and watch old Joan Crawford movies - Sissybear!

He seemed a little overwhelmed, but maybe that was because I talked with him right after he had run the press gamut. You gotta understand that the room was jammed to the rafters with photographers, videographers, boom operators and scary bouncers with no sense of humor. I would be overwhelmed. When I told Chris he was my absolute favorite he seemed rather abashed and pleased. Awwww - I just wanted to give him a big ol' hug!

Jillian. She's cute, she's sweet, she's young, she's talented, and she has a Hottie McHotterson for a business partner/boyfriend. B*tch.
No, no really. She's a sweetheart. If I were 20 years younger I might be jealous. But I'm in a happy place. Really.

And her hair is perfect!

Rami is really, really cute! I love his smile. I didn't get a chance to talk with him, but he was very gracious and posed for me.
I hate to say it. Of the three collections, his was my least favorite. I loved some of the pieces in it, but the colors were not my cup of tea. I would have worked with more of the dot print had it been me. But hey, he's got a bright future regardless.

The viewing was a blast. Tom and Lorenzo did a much better description than I can. Plus, I'm running out of steam But here's a parting shot. The front row during the screening, and after several cocktails!


Ah, what a wonderful time. Thank you TLo! This girl is going to be reminiscing fondly for months to come!
