teevz: project runway – “fashion giant” posted by Chris comments (6)

**EVEN TIKI BARBER DOESN’T WANT HIS BUTT TO LOOK BIG ALERTZ** OMG, the kids had to design an entire menswear ensemble for football legend Tiki Barber in last night’s MAN-tacular ep of Proj Runz! Seriously, someone at Bravo made like a definitive decision this season to pull out the beefcake. They must have been like “all our viewers are women and gays… so let’s give ‘em a big ole gun show.” And last night they did just that. The male contestants were in towels and the male models in their manties… OKAY! No complaints so far. So, the designer’s big challenge this week was to design a 3-piece outfit for Tiki Barber, the former football running back for the New York Giants turned sportscaster for the Today Show. Needless to say, everyone started freaking out ’cause menswear is n,n,notoriously boring and hard at the same time. And that’s exactly what I thought when Tiki announced the challenge. Let’s make it work!

Okay, seeing Rami, Jack and Kevin parade around the loft in their towels was, well… AHMAHZING. I’m so already completely hooked on this season. And then muscle-mania Jack giving lil’ Christian rides in his tote and piggy back was HI-lar. I can’t get enough of that little Smurf. He cracks my azz up. I also loved that Jack just whipped off his shorts and used them for a pant pattern! And I do think it was smarmy that all the girls were “borrowing” the pattern, but it’s good that Jack let them do it. This early in the game, it’s good to keep your enemies close! But some of those looks were NASTY! And what’s with that Elisa?!? I couldn’t believe she was all like “the only man I touch is my husband.” Oh, just get over yourself and enjoy the boys! All the male modz were pretty spectak! You always see the women models whipping off their clothes at fittings so it was such a special treat to see the guys do it for a change. Honestly, there were so many pecs and abs and boxer briefs flying around that I just couldn’t focus on the fashions. And how about Tiki’s wife Ginny?!? Oooh, what a stone cold betch! Shoulda been the Teeks walking around… sans clothes! Juss sayin’!

I really loved Kit’s look so much… The khakis with that fleece jacket was great. I’d totes wear that. Jack’s ensemble was really impec. I loved the pants and I was pretty happy that Jack won the challenge. I would have picked Kit, but I’m still excited for Jack. Rami’s, I thought was super cute. Very casual-cool! Kevin’s was cute too, totes Euro and I did like Victorya’s white jacket. But then there’s Sweet P’s! Oye, her model was so HAWT, but that shirt was busted! I hated Ricky’s so much. It was soooo boring. DON’T BORE NINA! And for that reason I thought for sure he was gonna be sent home over Carmen’s “scarf” shirt and Member’s Only jacket. I mean, I have no problems with topless boys nor the 80′s. But I think in the end, Carmen’s incomplete look got her sent home and she was auf’d. Buh bye Kelis! Kinda weird tho… Since Jack’s, who won, was also incomplete in that it was only 2 pieces. Oh well, can’t argue with Nina and Michael. Stay tuned next week for more Project Teevz as the designers are paired up in teams for some serious Fight Club action! Fight, fight, fight.

TRY “THE JULIE” posted by fred flare comments (4)

I absolutely love anything involving avocados! So pretty much every other day I go to Cup O’ Joes and ask for a cheese and avocado sandwich. They are under new ownership and Elliott is the best owner ever!!! He makes the most amazing avocado sandwich I could ever ask for. Well.. a few days ago he told me he was going to name a sandwich after me. I didn’t think he was serious… but low and behold I walk into good ole Cup O’ Joes yesterday and see my sandwich hanging on the board…. and yes, named after me! It literally made my day even better and I had to take a picture and share this with you guys!! So yeah… go to Cup O’ Joes in G-point and “Try The Julie”!! xoxo

twiggy breaks posted by Chris comments (3)

Oh no! I have worst news ever to report. Fashion icon and living legend Twiggy is leaving Tyra’s judging table on America’s Next Top Model. The CW announced on Monday that scheduling conflicts are preventing the Twiggz from returning to Top Modz and that supermodel veteran Paulina Porizkova will be taking her place. Hmmm, wonder if her feud with Yale got her canned?!? But, I’m really gonna miss Twiggz! She’s no Janice Dickinson, but her accent is just too cute. Okay Paulina, you better bring it!

Gossip Girl – tonight!!! posted by Chris comments (3)

OMG, I hate waiting a whole two weeks for a new Gossip Girl ep… But if the Writer’s Strike continues, we’ll be waiting a hail of a lot longer than that for newness. Well, before that happens I’m just so stoked for BWitched, Sareenz and company to return tonight with some hawt Upper East Side shananz. I’ve been working my tail off so much this month that a good night off in front of the Teevz is much needed. While the anticipation builds, check out these a-doorbell pics I found while the GG kidz were spotted this week filming in Manhattz! They are the prettiest group of peeps evah. xoxo CJ!

teevz: heroes – “truth & consequences” posted by Chris comments (4)

**THEY’RE DROPPIN’ LIKE FLIES ALERTS** The truth is: the Writer’s Strike sucks! And the consequences are: our fave shows are running out of episodes. Well, it seems that the effects of the strike are finally screeching our fave shows to a complete halt with next week’s ep being the season finale of Heroes. Heroes only had 11 episodes of the entire season completed before the strike began and many of our other fave shows, like Ugly Betty, aren’t too far behind. Jinkies! We need a resolution! Show those writers the monay! Okay, let’s discuss some Heroes action while we still can.
