The Honorable Charles E. Schumer

Dear Senator Schumer,

I have a small change I'd like to make to the Gregorian calendar that I hope you can bring to the attention of the rest of...

Hello, old friends. You look fabulous. Have you lost weight? Gosh, it seems like just yesterday we watched "Meana" Irina Shabayeva walk off with the most underwhelming victory in ProjRun history as Althea blinked and Carol Hannah surreptitiously vomited into her purse. I guess it feels that way because it...

We all know the hidden meanings behind certain tried-and-true holiday presents. A fruitcake might as well bear a tag reading "You are an octogenarian who is related to me but whom I never call." A scarf says, "I am your secret Santa in the office pool, and here is what...

And so, my friends, it has come to this. As Boyz II Men sang so soulfully, we've come to the end of the road. Or, the runway, I guess. Which means we're about to fall off into the lap of the Malaysian Prime Minister, if Zoolander is to be believed....

Yes, the season is almost over, but the finale is cruelly a two-parter, so we've got to power through. Don't worry, I have visual aids and Jello shots. Are you ready? Let's finish what we started.

Previously on: The Getty Center was a crappy fashion muse that led Christopher...

Previously on: The designers' generally underwhelming winning looks inspired even more underwhelming complement looks, and neither Logan's silver pants nor his 40 zippers could save him from Heidi's Teutonic axe.

It's morning in the ladies' quarters, and suffice to say they're not all on the same cycle just yet....

Hello, lovelies. Let's get ready to... RUNWAY.

Previously on: A geographical challenge revealed that Michael Kors' favorite vacation spots include Amish Country and Olivia Newton John's costume closet. Despite being once, twice, three times in the bottom two, Chris was spared and Nic was set free to take...

I've been reading your comments (which, by the way, I so appreciate even if I don't reply to each one), and many of you have been saying that you've given up on the show, or don't even watch anymore and just read the recaps. I want to climb up on...

Hi y'all! Don't worry, I wasn't trapped under something heavy, I just had a can't-miss work event that kept me from my TV Thursday night. Why didn't I just DVR and watch it afterwards, you ask? Because, cruelly, I have no DVR. Because my block--I can barely even type this,...

I really wanted to title this recap "A Blaffair to Rememblack" because I am excited for 30 Rock's season premiere next week and saying that cracks me up, but alas this episode has nothing to do with my favorite show or with Tracy Morgan (who, by the way, is

Previously on: A movie genre costume challenge gave Epperson some much-needed bravado, Nic an undeserved win, and Louise a shocking stay of execution. Ra'mon packed up his Kanye glasses and one-liners and walked out of my life forever. Sob.

So, brief aside before we do this thing: Since my...

Until recently, the fashion world rarely enraged me. Saddened me, yes, with its constant parade of self-esteem crushing, sandwich-needing emaciated models who arrived each season sullenly bedecked in heel-less high heels, metal corsets, and tartan bloomers. Confused me, yes, by dictating that approximately six different colors were "the...

Previously on Project Runway: The gang put on a far-too literal production of Newsies, Tommy Hilfiger did a terrible Michael Kors impression, and poor recovering Meth addict Johnny was sent back to understudy for Jerry Ferrara.

"Here we go again," says the voice of Logan as the morning-in-LA establishing...

Before I begin this glorious recap of Episode 5, I have some good news: Qristyl Frasier may be down but she is not out. Someone tipped me off that she is taking her Plus Sexy show on the road over at eHow (Sample tip: "Think about length. If...

Previously on: the designers formed teams of two for a confusing beachwear/avant garde challenge. Qristyl and Epperson fell in hate, while Ra'mon Lawrence tried to keep Mitchell focused on the task of creating a dress that was equal parts neoprene and dish soap, to no avail.

In the...

I am not being over-dramatic when I say that riding the New York City subway makes me realize that I am probably capable of murder. I'm a peace-loving person, and not blood-thirsty or evil, but the rage that builds up inside of me when I am forced to wait for...

I watched Project Runway with my mother this week, and so will intersperse her comments throughout this recap (this year I also watched the Oscars with her and live-blogged her bitchy comments. Ah, family bonding). When the "previously on" scenes began and Malvin the Eggman appeared, my mom...

Missed last week's episode? Click here for a recap or here to get to know the designers.

This week, Project Runway unveiled its official Season 6 opening credits, in which the designers scurry around and shout would-be catchphrases whenever Heidi pauses in her monologue. Near the beginning, Mitchell...

As a magazine editor, I am often tasked with the seemingly enviable job of interviewing celebrities. Interviewing famous people sounds really exciting, but I think to do it well you have to have the right personality type, which I have narrowed down to some combination of the following: unrepentant ass-kisser...

TGIF, gentle readers. Are you ready for some Project Runway recapping? Let's do this thing!

Lifetime's Runwaypalooza commenced with a two-hour "All-Star Challenge" special that brought back past contestants to compete in a single runway show for a $100,000 prize....
