Project Runway: The End Of Fierce

Share     

project_runway_header_111707_01.jpg

Previously - Fashion Bear Chris was sent into hibernation and my heart broke just a little. Now we're down to Christian ("Ferosha Coutura"), Jillian ("Neurotic Culottes"), and Rami ("Noodles"). Brace yourselves!

3 days until the runway show?!? I'm biting my nails! I'm drinking heavily! I'm realizing Carmen ("Kelis") sounds real manly when she bellows "bottom line? I'm the best." in the opening credits. Christian's nervous and scared. He keeps repeating that he wants "friday to come" and practically starts rocking back and forth. The designers are enjoying takeout and you can cut the anticipation with a knife. Jillian strolls out in black culottes pantsuit (Was there a sale? Where WAS this sale? What store would that be? Ocean State Job Lot?) and asks if the hair is ok? Flat, limp, nasty headband. Answer: no. Pressure is killing her hair! She puts a Fargo hat over it anyway.

Designers unveil their creations back at the workroom. Rami Noodles notes that Christian is "concerned" when Rami takes out his wares. It's true, Christian is chewing something and wondering if there's time to get back to the sewing machine to create more Jack Sparrow in drag looks. Christian tells us, as he unveils a gigantic black hat that could possibly protect the Earth from a deadly asteroid shower, that he cares what Jillian and Rami think about his work. What? Ferosha Coutura, is that you? That isn't fierce.

Tim enters. Jillian's up first. Tim has a question. It's about this short sweater that Jillian designed that has what looks like squid tentacles for sleeves. If you spill your grape juice, you can sop it right up with those sleeves. Tim tells her the piece is "incongruous". He's really getting those Tim Gunns in there as D-Day approaches. He also tells her to have fun with it. You could. You could use those sleeves to dab calamine lotion, or pack items that you're going to ship to faraway places. Jillian tells us that she doesn't necessarily have a resolution for "that sweater look". She pronounces "resolution" as "ree-solution". I don't know when she became foreign, but I like it. I wish she'd come up with a "ree-solution" to her pleated culottes problem. She's addicted.

More ProjRun finale, after the jump!

Rami is rocking some fashiony jeans that I could never afford. Or could never be homosexual enough to wear. As Rami shows Tim his collection, Christian is over in the corner and it's "All About Eve". The concern and jealousy inherent in even the screwing on of a bottled water cap is palpable. It's good to see that even cocky 21-year-old twinky hipsters can fall apart when it's on the line. It makes him all the more human.

Tim wants to know if Christian is "overdesigned". Tim notes that Christian is nervous and wants to know where Ferosha went. "I took a break" is Christian's response. Christian did A LOT of hats. We've got ripply hats, feathery hats, large disc hats. You wouldn't want to sit behind Christian's collection in the movie theatre. Christian talks about how awesome Rami and Jillian's collection is. Damn, he is falling apart inside. Maybe he should have spent less time on the hats, or maybe skipped that Leslie and the Lys concert and concentrated more on his designs.

It's time to cast some models. Christian does his model walk and shows off the spiritual vagina that he was born with. He's rocking ANOTHER hat. This time a Roman centurion in the arena type thing. Watch the hats win it for him. He says his collection needs strong confidant girls. No, your collection needs some goth trannie robots. That's the only category that can bring all these chapeaus to life.

It's Jillian's first casting. Models walk. Christian's looking for "fierce tallness" and "walks for days". So an enduring Amazon. I'd say Jessica Biel, but she's a guy. Designers go to bed after seeing all the "gorg" models. The next day, everyone meets with Capt. Loreal Paris, small bulldog makeup queen Collier Strong. That name was so picked in college when he decided to be someone else and not the scared little gay boy his parents tormented for so many years. Models' faces are "chiseled" via Loreal Paris. That sounds painful.

Models are sealed into clothing. One of Christian's models has a waist the size of my wrist. And despite being a pudgy Irishman, I have petite wrists. I should wear tennis bracelets! But I don't. It's model chaos. Christian shoves his bitches into some unearthly designs. Rami notes that Christian needs to learn about designing clothes for women, not models. Noodles has a point. Rami sounds very concerned about this, kind of like when Jennifer Aniston talks to me about how my kid has cancer before the movie starts.

Christian refers to the shoes from his collection as "flawless". His models see them as "agonizing". Christian doesn't care. As long as they can walk down the runway and avoid looking like bears dragging bloody traps from their ankles, he's happy. Christian reveals that he wore the shoes himself around his apartment for a week and he pulled it off. Wow. Why does that seem like it really happened. Christian tells his models to be really skinny and not to eat before the show. Nothing would be more fashion than models collapsing in his designs on the runway. Drama IS fashion.

Jillian feels like her model look isn't consistent. And she tries to switch a model out at the last minute. Christian brings Ferosha Coutura back and tells us that Jillian sucks at casting, that none of her models look similar and it's her own fault. Jillian clutches her head in indecision. Just think of your culottes and lighten up. It's not that bad.

Jillian is tweaking about her model selection the next day. She's trying to get some more. The model wrangler/pimp tells her via phone that it will be really hard to pull in another girl and it's too last minute. Are you f*cking kidding me? This is NYC! Everyone's a model. Tell him to get his gay ass out onto the street and just start plucking tall, oogly bitches off the sidewalk. He's full of shit! Rami tells her to focus on the positive. Her horse blanket miniskirt and braided belt won't let her.

Designers meet with Tresemme hair queen Nathaniel to discuss model hairstyles and complete Tresemme's Bravo product placement contract. Jillian wants her models' hair to be "floaty, bouncy perfect". Don't we all want our hair to be that way? Models show up. Christian puts one of his in a feather shirt. Seriously, I'm nervous about bird flu. I don't want to die. Jillian says the "story the models were telling me was worrying me". Was it about global warming? What is she talking about? I think she means how they all appeared in her collection, but I seriously think dementia has set in with her.

It's time for one less gather round with Tim. The order will be Jillian, Rami, and Christian. Tim tells them that they're all "superb" and "an inspiration" for him. Deep. It's time, everyone. Take your seats. Designers walk up to Bryant Park and we get some ambient music like everyone just reached the peak of K2 and Rami talks about standing in front of the "heartbeat of the fashion industry". I get to see the room in which I was denied press credentials but that kiss ass queen from "Pink is the New Blog" not only got invited by Nina Garcia but got an outfit sent to him for the event. Damn, it's hard to be ghetto in this industry. The room is forbidding and the runway is looonnngggg.

Backstage, it's chaos. Jillian directs dressers on last minute changes to her garments. Christian can't find his models. They were really late, and he's over them. I would hack and slash. Also, it looks like Christian is walking the piratey outfit he won the art challenge with. Can you do that? 1 hour until showtime! Past designers talk to the press. There's Laura! Heterosexual Kevin looking beefy! Andre, not crying! Andre and Ricky should open a facial tissue business for all the tears. Jack and some queen with a faux-hawk. I thought that shit was outlawed and had trickled down to the straight boys? And I thought he was with Kevin now? Bitch is dawgin' people out!

Two of Christian's models are crazy late and it's "not cute" for him. Seriously, I'd go after them with a hot iron like Janet Jackson's mom on "Good Times". 30 minutes! There's the two hosts from "Make Me A Supermodel" so Bravo can cross promote. That annoying queen Jay who won the first ProjRun. And Kane lost some weight. Here's Fern Mallis, bitch is always in the house at Bryant Park. Christian is almost crying because he's missing one model. Then she shows up and she looks really dumb or like she might be having some sort of strokelet. Model stroke!

Victoria Beckham's in the hizzy and wearing a tangerine. Here's Rami Noodles' family and friends and one of his relatives is a beefy brotha and I'm all about it. Christian's family is here, and his sister dyed her hair a sullen brown. I liked her better when she was punk in the Polaroid. Christian notes his lack of opportunities and applies some hairspray to get himself through that introspective moment. Jillian gets choked up over her creations. She needs to get choked up over culottes and do away with them.

Showtime. Heidi perks out. You would think she would dress up. She's rockin' jeans. I know they must cost bank, but still. Also in the house is Ted from "Queer Eye" and the Asian actress from one of the two "Sex & the City" rip-offs that stunk up our TV's this season. Heidi introduces the judges. Victoria Beckham and her giant tangerine revel in the spotlight and applause. Jillian gets major applause. She looks good! No culottes!

The runway is SO long. Jillian's collection is all about a day in the snow in the park. Bundle up, everyone! Jillian was so astounded by what she did. She said it, I didn't. And those Roman hats belong to Jillian not Christian. Harvey Weinstein, producer or ProjRun, is upfront. If a gold digger hadn't already found him, I would have. Rami Noodles is up. No draping here! Did they make Elisa sit on the floor? I love how they sat VictorYA behind a man with an Afro. You know they had words during the show. Rami might have clinched it. Something tells me his designs are winning. His beefy brother, however, needs to take me to Tel Aviv and show me what love is. And make ME a winner. Nina Garcia has a lot to whisper about Rami's collection. Ooh, there's Daniel! He was so sweet!

Christian gets a lot of applause. Ooh, Kara Janx! He works "fierce" in there. The audience digs his collection mainly because it's the most couture and jacked-up. Victoria Beckham's eyes light up because some of this crap will look ILL in US Weekly if she wears it. The one model with the ruffle obscuring her face is damn lucky her hat is see-through otherwise she might end up falling and breaking her neck. The feather outfit is immediately purchased in Victoria Beckham's mind. Christian's got himself a customer! Christian takes the opportunity to walk. I'm torn. His collection was the most fun.

The host of "Top Chef" has an opinion that I don't care about. Nick talks about Rami's descent into "woven". I am getting so nervous! Judges are positive and happy. They must FLY back to Parsons. Heidi was happy with everyone, guess she got that two languages thing down and lightened up. This is the first time I've ever heard Victoria Beckham talk and not just grimace and she seems refreshingly...normal. Despite the tangerine. Nina feels that "the essence of Jillian" was lost. Just buy some culottes and hire an analyst. There ya go. Christian's nervous and Heidi notes it. Victoria pronounces Christian "may-jah". That's like "fierce" but British. Kors tells Christian that it was too black. Heidi has a lot of rings on. Christian is so kissing Victoria's ass. New best friend.

Kors didn't love Rami's colors. He thinks Florence Henderson chose them. Nina thinks Rami's strength is in the evening. That's what he said. Kors loved Jillian's knitwear. He wants to build a snowman. Kors schools Posh Spice on how not everyone can wear the crazy shit she wears. She LURVES Christian's collection. Rami has the color palette of the blind. Christian so won. Thank god there were no Michael, excuse me, Mychael, Knight's in the bunch. You know, hot in the challenges and dies on the runway?

Heidi babbles on. I can't stand it. Jillian's out. Go put some culottes on. She was disappointed and let-down. Rami and Christian! Christian is SOBBING. Ferosha, no! He won. Yay! He's like practically making out with Rami. Let's face it, Christian's personality helped in the win. Victoria Beckham wants to wear his clothes. His family is here. His sister is so happy. He's the youngest winner ever. "Hello, did you have a doubt?" He cracks me up. He needs a "breaky-break" he says. He tells Victoria Beckham he'll be in touch. Oh lordy. Tim gives him his car. And we'll end on a "fierce". Did you expect something else?

Once again, thank you for reading these recaps and saying such nice things and not holding it against me for being a dumb ass. I love you all!

I have read everyone of your recaps (and the one's on PITNB) and i hope you get love next season!

Best season of PR ever. Seriously, I would wear ANYTHING that Jillian, Rami AND Christian sent down the runway all damn season!

Plus the supporting characters were pretty good (I thought Jack would have gone far!) and I just thought it was great TV.

Thanks for the recaps and laughs =)

I'm so going to miss these recaps, probably more than the show itself. I just wanted to point out that the queen with the faux-hawk that was with Jack is Dale from Top Chef, they're dating.

Bravo, J. Harvey! Your recaps made the show for me. Hysterical & so well done.

LOL I watch the show religiously but still cant wait to read your recaps. My gays get on the gay.com and dish live on the show. It might be fun for yall to "live-blog" a show, maybe on the Twitter. Or maybe not. Every PR episode is like the Oscars for me! Tragic I know.

Thank you J! You do make me smile reading these. At first, I was a bit razzed because I write my own blogs about each episode (I call them Rundowns) but I love your take on them. You dissect just about every scene, where I just talk in general about my thoughts on what happened and throw in some insults for comedic effect (I had a hell of a time with Uli from last season!) :)
Keep it up! If you'd like to see mine, just let me know darling!

March 6, 2008 12:57 PM

I love your recaps! I love Victoria Beckham. I love clothes! I love Christian!

What a perfect ending!

Congrats Christian! You. Are. May-jah!!!

March 6, 2008 1:08 PM

The finale was AWESOME! Your recaps make the show just all the more fun to watch. The second I saw Jillian's strange sweater, I thought of your recap!:-) I am glad I'm not the only one who does not understand Jillian, although I found most of her pieces to be beautiful. I will so miss this season's show and your side splitting recaps. Thanks for appreciating Chris as much as I did! Can't wait for next season!

March 6, 2008 1:16 PM

Thank you sooo much for making this season of ProRun even more fun for me. You are hilarious and insightful; I find myself watching the show and wondering how you will comment! What a blast! Thank you again! See you for cycle 5!!!

March 6, 2008 1:19 PM

Sorry but the ruffle thing doesn't take any talent. And his clothes are totally unwearable start to finish. They need to give more emphasis on wearability if they want any of their designers to really get anywhere.

The complete failure of any of the past winners to get anyplace.....other than the Vietnamese girl who really just continued her existing business....is going to bear on this show's popularity....kind of like with ANTM.

I didn't read yet but I thought Christains designs were monotonous and predictable. I question if he still would have been the winner if Posh wasn't there.

I didn't like any of Rami's designs with the exception of the last two dresses which were phenomenal.

I thought Jillians collection was really good. She should have won.

March 6, 2008 2:12 PM

Absolutely love your recaps. Just a little tidbit: The guy with Jack was Dale - the Top Chef runner up.

March 6, 2008 2:36 PM

Hello! Did anybody notice Jaslene from ANTM on the runway wearing Jillian's black and silver dress. She's a good walker I gotta say, and didn't look as tranilicious as she always did at ANTM. Biatch Bianca was also one of Chris's models. These girls are getting play! even if its for another reality show.

March 6, 2008 2:37 PM

I am devastated that it's all over and will desperately miss your re-caps. Florence Henderson made me laugh out loud.

I love Ferosh and I'm glad he won. His clothes were the best.

Oh my God, I'm going to die! Not being able to read ProjRun recaps every week is going to be awful. You are so funny and think of the best things to say. I'm going to miss your funny ranting. Take care and be may-ja fierce!

March 6, 2008 3:11 PM

Awww I'm going to miss recaps. Thank god for ANTM. I'm so happy that Christian won!

March 6, 2008 3:45 PM

"Christian is over in the corner and it's "All About Eve". Classic. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your recaps!!! Thanks for making me laugh!

Why the hatred for PITNB?

March 6, 2008 4:32 PM

Posh won it for Christian. You can't hate on that little guy with all his 21-year-old fierceness. Show me one person who, at that age, didn't have a catch phrase or a signature hand gesture and hairstyle. Mine was "I'm riding the deuces!" Oh, wait, that was when I turned 22. Anyway. If Posh hadn't been there, Rami would have won. His collection, although Kors hated the colors, was the most well thought out and planned and flowed the best from day to night and was wearable. There is no way in hell anyone in Manhattan is going to be walking the streets in a lace balloon around their necks with a hat the size of a satellite dish. That hat alone would take out an entire sidewalk of commuters. I have to agree with the sentiment of the other posters in that I watched the finale wondering what hilarious comments J. Harvey would come up with. The only thing you missed, J., was how wonderfully well Chrstian's model tilted her head up from under the satellite dish perfectly to the beat. Pow! Watch it again and you will see what I mean. Can't wait to see what show you're going to recap next. The housewives of NYC are calling you from the back seat of their chauffered town cars just waiting to be ripped to shreds.

March 6, 2008 4:41 PM

Rebecca from cycle 4 of ANTM was also in Jillian's collection

GO JAZ!!!!!!!!

"Then she shows up and she looks really dumb or like she might be having some sort of strokelet. Model stroke!"

omfg ... I am DYING, J. Harvey. DYING! And that shit about Trent da Pink? Tears!! Best recap in recent history.

March 6, 2008 4:57 PM

Love your recaps and am so sad ProjRun is over, but really glad that Christian won. As for this: "Jack and some queen with a faux-hawk. " I think that the queen is Dale from the last season of Top Chef. I read somewhere that those two had hooked up and Dale was all about the faux-hawk.

March 6, 2008 5:08 PM

Ditto all, re: the end of the Recap season! But I have to disagree with your comment, J., that only "trannie goth(s)" could bring Christian's "chapeaus to life": Ferosha has a HUGE career ahead showing hats in the lobbies of every AME (African Methodist Episcopal) Church in the country -- probably Baptists, too! Gawd, I can just see him arranging hats on Sunday mornings for some big Black women, quoting the song "Meetin' in the Ladies' Room": "your head is 'fierce'!!"

March 6, 2008 5:50 PM

thanks so much for such a great season of recaps! my husband and i love watching the show together - and your recaps make the show even better than it already is. you're awesome ; ) we can't wait 'til next season!

March 6, 2008 7:52 PM

Dear Harvey,

Can you "rerun" your recaps sometime ? I'd like to relive all the laughs from previous Project Runway seasons. There was one season where your recaps were about a blonde female girl who had a childlike manner. You're recaps about that season were FIERCE ! This season was great too. Think about posting previous season recaps please! Thanks Harvey

March 6, 2008 9:13 PM

I'm so sad that it is over - I will miss your recaps !!!
I always looked forward to coming home in the days after the episode and reading your new recap. It is nice to come home and laugh after a hard day of teaching high school English. Thank you J. Harvey. You should win an award.

as always....an amazing recap!! can you please not refer to me as "that annoying queen jay" from now on? thank you and all the best! j

HA!!! jay... that's HILAR!!!

(I didn't think you were annoying. LOL! Then again, Christian has completely redefined annoying so...)

March 7, 2008 8:27 PM

Oh, J! Carmen sounds "manly". Wow -- I totally thought the same thing. Like I haven't been hearing her voice at the beginning of every episode, but somehow never realized this until the finale?

I also wonder if Christian's moodle-babe took his advice and forgot to eat. Maybe that's why she was late. Okay...that or drugs. She looked totally stunned to be there. Then she rocked it on the runway.

Jaslene...yeah, I noticed. Talk about manly!

Hands-down, Christian's show had the best musical score. Do the designers pick the music, too? Soundtrack to trannies marching into the gay bar, fo' sho.

Rami is too sweet. Like a mother's favorite child. I love him. He looks like G.I. Joe, redressed in Ken's clothes.

Jillian reminds me of a Valium Mom from the Valley of the Dolls. She has those giant eyes, and she speaks sooooo sllloooowwww. And the cutting thing? What about the angst over the models? Perfectionist much? Dude -- one day, she's gonna implode.

All in all, a great season, J. Love the recaps & will look forward to next season of PR :-)
