By CJ Bomb Well, well, well……This is some interesting news. A few weeks ago I was despondent and Les and I were about to commit fashion hari kari as our beloved Tim Gunn, the man who makes our lives better by simply existing, was no longer going to be on Project Runway. We were hiding […]
Is Project Runway Kaput?
By CJ Bomb This is the end of an era. And sadly we seem to be going out with a whimper rather than a bang. Much like all Project Runway fans, I rejoiced when I heard the show was returning to Bravo. I long for the glory days of seasons 1-6 when there were better […]
Project Runway: Season 16 Reunion Special
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Sorry we are a little late with this. Leslie and I were both under the weather. I blame my stomach issue on the idea that I have to see the twins again. I can’t speak for Les. I was in bed last night by eight and […]
Project Runway Junior Finale: The Winner Is Chosen
By Leslie It’s the Finale and my wine drinking friend, CJ Bomb, is not able to blog this episode! So instead of chiming in, I’m freaking the Bomb- lol! Big shoes to fill (yes as CJ wears size 9.5 and I wear a 7) and I’m a bit worried since Courtney is a Literary brainiac […]
Project Runway Junior: Fold the Circus Tent Or Van Gogh Home?
So here Leslie and I FINALLY sit, wine and pens in hand ready to watch Part One of the finale. Hannah, rocking a red jumpsuit Heidi Klum would love, tells the designers they will present six looks for the finale. In the “adult” Project Runway we get to see Tim Gunn visit the designers in […]
Project Runway Junior: The Last Hurrah
By CJ Bomb (and Leslie!) Wow, so here we are at the last regular challenge. Having never watched this show before I thought we would have at least one more to go, but apparently there will be two designers going home this week and FOUR designers going on to show collections. Now I have held […]
Project Runway Junior: Ciao Bella!
Hello everyone and welcome to Project Runway Jr., the magnificent 7. Leslie and I have a bottle of wine, a notebook and our opinions ready to go. It’s getting harder and harder to let these kiddos go, so we also have tissues at the ready. The designers are waiting patiently, possibly wondering why there is […]
Project Runway Junior: Over The Overlay
By CJ Bomb Hello all! I’m so very sorry for the late recap, but had some stuff go down on the home front I had to deal with. But, better late than never! This show is such a delightful escape from reality that I’m happy to be back writing. So here we go….. The alarm […]
Project Runway Junior: You Light Up My Life
By Cjbomb And then there were nine….. I repeat myself when I say Leslie and I really like these kids and it is getting harder and harder to watch them get eliminated. They all have wonderful unique spirits and we definitely need more of that in the world. Leslie remarks how she misses Rene; me […]
Project Runway Junior: Step It Up!
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone, hope you have had a great week. Let’s start of the weekend by recapping Project Runway Junior, or as I am now calling it Project Runway 2.0; younger, yet somehow better. The only thing that sucks is Leslie and I have come to really LIKE these kids and now it’s […]
Project Runway Junior: En Garde Avant Garde
By CJ Bomb Hello all and welcome to Project Runway Junior week three! I am watching at the lovely Leslie’s house and we have ANOTHER guest judge with us tonight. Caroline, the lovely Leslie’s daughter, has agreed to grace us with her presence and comments during the runway show. We are lucky to have her […]
Project Runway: An Unconventionally Premature Unconventional Challenge
By CJ Bomb As you know from my past anger with the producers of this show, I am sick of the gimmicky challenges that don’t empower many of the contestants to show their best work. Last week gave me bright hope that Project Runway Junior would be different. After watching this episode those hopes grew […]
Project Runway Junior: Too Much Or Not Enough?
Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday! I am sorry honored that TT asked me to keep recapping in the Project Runway universe with Project Runway Junior. I can’t believe I have never watched this show before. I’m already more impressed with some of these kids than the designers on […]
Project Runway Finale: Banana Republic Coronation
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone and welcome to THE FINALE of Project Runway. Leslie and I have our pens and vino ready to go. My husband has vacated the premises and gone over to Leslie’s house to watch football with her husband. I can’t imagine why he doesn’t want to watch with us. He […]
Project Runway Finale Part 1: No Cohesion? No Problem.
By CJ Bomb Welcome to the Project Runway finale Part One! Now is the time when the remaining designers return home to complete a collection to be shown at New York Fashion Week. Heidi informs them they have six weeks and a budget of $9000 to design ten looks. Now I know last week I […]
Project Runway: High Fashion Is Highly Nude
By CJ Bomb Well here we are, the final five. This is the last challenge before Fashion Week. It is a doozy to say the least. The only reality shows I watch are Project Runway and Top Chef. I rely on TT for all of my other recaps. I have a friend who works at […]
Project Runway: Unconventional Meets Avant-Garde !?
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone and welcome to Project Runway week ELEVEN! Wow, I feel like this season went so went so fast. I would like to thank TT and the rest of you for letting me get my fashion Ya-yas out each week. Our awesome guest Leslie could not be with me tonight, but […]
Project Runway: Power Does Not Mean Power Ranger
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone and welcome to Project Runway week eight!. This week my good friend Leslie is joining me while watching the show. She was a stylist and wrote a successful fashion blog, so I thought it would be interesting to get a professional perspective! Plus she’s really funny. And in my […]
Project Runway: New Chapters
By CJ Bomb Welcome to Project Runway week 8! I know this week has been an emotional roller coaster ride for all of us. I hope that we can treat each other with respect and kindness whatever our differences of opinion and/or backgrounds. We are all connected. Sooooo I bought a good bottle of wine, […]
Project Runway: Seeing Red
By CJ Bomb Hey everyone and welcome to Project Runway week 7! Last week produced some interesting discussion in the comments regarding your favorites and some people thought I was nuts for my faves. Love the opinions, even though we may not agree, so keep them coming! I have two pre-teen and teenage boys, NOTHING […]
Project Runway: Urban Kong
By CJ Bomb Hello all and welcome to Project Runway Week 6! Sorry I am little late with the recap, family duties called, but better late than never……right Nathalia? Everyone is recovering from last week, except Laurence, of course, because she makes everything she does look effortless whether it be making an insane dress in […]
Project Runway: Flamingo? Oh No!
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone! Welcome to Project Runway week five. I had hoped we would be continuing on the good-will train from last week. For the most part the designers behaved, but there was still a bit of snark and shade being thrown around. I tell my yoga students all the time, fear will […]
Project Runway: Unprecedented Integrity
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone and welcome to Project Runway week four. My parents are safe and sound back home with minimal damage done. I hope everyone fared as well and if not, again, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I have to say, in light of this election, last week’s natural disaster […]
Project Runway: No One Wants The Drama Of Labia On The Runway
By CJ Bomb Hello everyone and welcome to Project Runway week four! May I start by saying I hope everyone and their loved ones are safe tonight in the path of the oncoming storm. My own parents […]
Project Runway: Tears In The Dark
By CJ Bomb Welcome to week three of Project Runway! There will be laughter, (some of it beyond annoying) there will be shade (from guess who) and there will be many, many, MANY tears. So let’s get started… Erin is feeling very good about herself. Perhaps a wee bit too good. Erin actually says out […]
Project Runway: Just Fabulous?
By CJ Bomb Hello all! Thank you for your lovely responses last week. So excited to be on this journey with you. And thank you to our fearless leader Tamara for letting me write for you! Project Runway week two here we go! The Challenge Create a cool, versatile stylish design that flatters any woman […]
Project Runway Recap: Glitter Is The Herpes Of Art
By CJ Bomb Hello, All! This is CJ Bomb and I’ll be recapping Project Runway Season 15. I have watched every single season of Project Runway since it’s inception, and while I do think that the early years on Bravo were superior, as long as Tim Gunn is gracing this show with his presence, […]
Nene Leakes Walks In New York Fashion Week; Plus Tim Gunn/Project Runway Updates
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nene Leakes (@neneleakes) It’s Fashion Week in NYC (Is it me or does it seem like it’s fashion week every other week somewhere?) and Nene Leakes not only walked in a show, she was the closing model! I believe all the models were actors from […]
Project Runway Junior Finale: A Winner Is Crowned
My recording seemed to start a tiny bit late, but we are starting with Tim Gunn giving the kids a last minute advice session on their pieces. He gives some specific advice like telling Zachary his prom dress should become two pieces. And they are all going to Mood first thing in the morning for […]
Project Runway Finale Part 1 : Make It Work
This is the first of a two part season finale. Tonight, Tim Gunn checks up on the progress of their collections. Peytie I love Peytie’s collection. She has a younger sister who has hand painted a lot of her textiles with gold mandalas and it’s really pretty. She’s also using my favorite textile that she used […]
Project Runway Jr Recap: Make A Statement
It’s time to decide which juniors get to show in NY Fashion Week. Or you know, in a garage down the street during the week of the actual show. Or something. Please report to the comments section of last weeks recap to enjoy the mad rantings of a Jaxson fan. It’s the best […]
Project Runway Jr Recap: #OOTD
It’s a Seventeen magazine challenge. The kids are sent to photo people in their “outfit of the day.” #OOTD The look they pick should be editorial and fashion forward. Some of the kids are having trouble getting people to stop for a photo. Jackson especially. Jackson should have gone home three weeks ago. At […]
Project Runway Junior Discussion
I watched Project Runway Junior in the dark of night on DVR because this crud gets infinitely worse at night and it’s hard to sleep. I didn’t feel like recapping and watched anyway because I wanted to and because, as you know, I hate the unconventional material challenges. So I was just going to skip […]
