For Love or Money
So will any of you out there admit to watching Bravo’s new show The Millionare Matchmaker?Ok, I’ll go first. I’ve checked it out and I have to say I’m kinda drawn to Patti Stanger the clubs owner. She’s a Jersey Girl complete with curves and frosted lipstick transplanted in La-La land. Warning, watching this won’t make you have any great feelings towards men or women. Especially men. Sorry guys, but how may 18 year olds can you really chase at forty? The answer is: Apparently a lot. Best,Kwana
Runway day
What’s Jack up to? Today he’s in a silly, playful mood and for some reason thinks we all want to chase him around the house in order to get him to go outside. Dude, chill no one really wants to take you out that much.First off, sorry for the crazy long post. It’s Reality TV and a lot to talk about. I promise to write shorter tomorrow.Fox’s new show The Moment Of Truth premiered last night. OMG. What a trip! I wanted to turn away as soon as I put it on, but I couldn’t and I’m sure that’s what Fox was banking on. The whole train wreck effect. I watched one married man and personal trainer, strapped to a lie detector, taken down by lying on the question : Have you ever touch a female client more than was necessary? He said, no and that was a lie. Did I mention that this was asked right in front of his wife? Yikes. The real moment of truth for me is: Will I watch this again? Sadly, I have to say, yes. It won’t be programmed into my DVR, but if I pass it I can’t promise not to watch. Ugh! Fox you’ve done it again.Now onto something I can be proud to admit I watched. Let’s talk Project Runway and the Levi’s Jean challenge. I have to say I got excited with talk of the Jean Challenge. It took me back to my denim roots and how in the late 80’s when for my entrance project into FIT, I decided to hand sew (poor little, Kwana had no sewing machine) the heaviest weight denim into a full 6 gored skirt with a matching denim bustier. Total Jody Watley! Don’t You Want Me. The finger pain was worth it when i got my acceptance into FIT.Now, please tell me why did they make the designers run for the denim ala Supermarket Sweeps. Why?I just loved Chris talking to his garment talk. Crazy, but real. Too bad the dress didn’t talk back. I thought he was on the way out this week with that one.
Poor Sweet P and her Hippy dress. It had Tim saying what to me was the line of the night. “Resolve the skirt!” It shows you should always listen to Tim Gunn. Thankfully she did.
Rami, wow, you can even drape denim. Bravo.
Christian’s jacket was nuts to me, but his jean was Fierce.
Bravo has totally caught on to the fact that Christian the star of the show and featured his fabulous whinyness to the fullest. Now Christain tell us what do you really think of Ricky?Oh, Ricky you cry baby. Wipe those tears away. You won.
Jillian and Victorya doing the coat smack down was fun to watch develop. But I was shocked to see Victorya go. I thought she won this round, just barely.
On
a fabulous note and thanks to the guys at Project Rungay for the heads up, Bravo has decided to make my day and do The Malan Show! It’s a short web show. Click here to check it out. I promise you won’t be disappointed, darlings.Best,
KwanaWoah Wellie! Part 3
What’s Jack up to? Poor Jack isn’t happy with all the rain today. He along with the DS and DD were hopeful that it would be a snow day. Sorry Guys.
Check out Jack here wondering why I’m taking pictures of some silly boots.
So the Wellie woes continue. No, I still haven’t found a pair in size 11. So sad. I did find these in a size ten that run a little big and are passable. They just fit my big feet. Of course they aren’t perfect. The shaft is a little too short and I’m not sure if I love or hate the strap across the front that gave them a faux motorcycle feel. But for the bargain price that I paid I’m willing to deal until my true Wellie prince comes along.Let it rain!
Is Tyson the new Tyra?Nah, but he’s sure trying. In the new Bravo show Make Me a Supermodel Tyson co-hosts with model Niki Taylor. I knew he was going for the Tyra the moment that he stripped down to his Speedo to show the guys how it’s done.
It’s no ANTM, but it’s filler enough until the next season of Top Chef starts. The twist on this show is having both male and female models living in a house together (makes for interesting crushes) and the fact that America gets to vote on who’s out, ala American Idol.Best,KwanaHigh School Mania
What’s Jack up to? Why he’s just chillin’ right now after giving the house a 4:30 a.m. bark-fest. We get it, Jack. You’re a ferocious guard dog. Ohhh we’re sooo scared. Now be quiet.
I loved the prom dress challenge last night. But from the looks on the contestant’s faces when the models came out, it seems I was the only one.
Victorya looked so pissed at having to do this challenge, the anguish was all over her face. Then she had the nerve to get dissed by her high-school model, who told her she picked her because she got the last choice. Ha! But, I have to say Victorya redeemed herself from last week’s mess. Really cute dress. Totally prom.
Christian, as usual was like a little bolt of lightning. Then he got Miss Maddy who was super opinionated and studying design herself. She took the pencil right out of his hand! Perfect. Maddy sent Christian to the floor, in a fetal position. Taken down by a seventeen year old. Fantastic. Power in a pleated skirt. Maybe he learned something this week.
Ricky, I’m now officially tired of the hat. And when are you gonna stop crying? It’s not that deep, dude. I thought his dress was sweet though, even with the awful workmanship on the bottom.
Sorry, Rami you were not the golden child tonight. The panel was right. His dress was too old for a prom dress. Cut the back-talk and do the challenge right. We already know you’ve got it, but never forget the client. She’s seventeen for goodness sake!
Kevin saying he’d put a chastity belt in the prom dress was priceless. Too bad his dress was sad. Old and sad. He was sweet though. He’ll be missed.I also loved all the prom pictures. They took me back to my own My Fair Lady Moment.
And as always, Love you Tim Gunn. The voice, The stance, The Tim Gunn-isims. Just everything. Make it work.
For more PR fun check out the cartoon sketch of Christian on the Project Rungay blog. Fierce!
Best,
KwanaUltimate motivation?
Could NBC’s newest version of The Biggest Loser, couples edition, be the ultimate in diet motivation?It’s perfect for all those January resolutions. And talk about drama. Sweat and tears flow like crazy. My fav on the show? The hard-as-nails mama, Bette-Sue who’s teamed up with her daughter, Ali. The tough 53 year old mama actually slipped off the treadmill and did a face-plant. Ouch! But she got back up and kept in going. Well, I guess I’ll be at the gym again tomorrow. Thanks Bette-Sue.
On a more obscure note. With her sassy attitude and asymmetrical 80’s hair. Could she possibly be Christain from Project Runway’s mother too? Hmmm…
