Tom and Lorenzo/Project Rungay - The #1 Project Runway Blog

Happy Holigays!

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 15:21:00 +0000

Spreading the cheer, Runway style.

So we get this email from Susan S.

Susan sez:

"Tim was in DC this weekend hosting a Liz Claiborne, Inc. fashion show at the Tysons Galleria mall on Saturday. I went with some friends and then got the chance to meet Tim after the show. He is so wonderful in person - he complimented my shoes and wished me a happy birthday (it was my b-day). I can't imagine a more gracious celebrity. It was such a fun experience - it made my birthday to meet Tim! Everyone who went to the meet & greet got a special holiday gift - a set of 5 Christmas greeting cards featuring illustrations of Tim. They are hilarious. Maybe you've seen them before, but I thought I would pass along the images anyway."

How fabulously adorable is that?

And to all our bitter kittens, we just want to wish you happy holidays and once again, say thank you, thank you, thank you for your support, for your wit and bitchiness, for your generosity, and for coming back day after day. We are, to our astonishment, right on the cusp of our 30 millionth visitor. Can you believe that? You did that! Not only do you rock, but your shoes and bag are fabulous. Love ya, bitches!

We'll be back on Saturday with a return to bitchiness in re: Launch My Line.

Sex and the City 2 Trailer

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:21:00 +0000

Darlings. The SATC2 trailer. It is here.

Kittens, our fortunes may wax and wane over time, but there has always been one thing of which T Lo has never been in short supply: OPINIONS. And lucky you, we're going to give them to you for free.

Here's the thing: Like so many urban gays of a certain age, we shared the love with our urban straight sisters for Carrie and her backup singers. Because we occasionally lapse into stereotype, our place was THE place to go back in the late '90s/early aughties on Sunday nights. Yes, it's true. You could often find us whipping up a batch of Cosmos with some gal pals and sitting on the couch to discuss Carrie's latest cracktacular ensemble or her latest attempt to fuck up her life. It was fun and we truly loved the show, despite the tendency in later seasons to morph Carrie from quirky, vintage-wearing party girl into a couture princess fantasy. When it ended, we felt they (mostly) ended it well (Did EVERY ONE of them have to wind up with a man in the end after six seasons of driving home the point that women could be happy without the fairy tale?). We were hesitant about the first movie, but dutifully bought our tickets and (mostly) didn't like it.

But something happened in the zeitgeist when the show transitioned from HBO to the silver screen. It became very fashionable to hate on the show and especially to hate on Sarah Jessica Parker. Granted, in the years following the show finale, SJP apparently never met an endorsement she didn't like and from the Gap to Garnier to her own fragrance, she was out shilling like her life depended on it. That's a great way to make some big money for an actor, but it's also a great way to get the public to turn on you. Still, the vehemence with which many criticized her was a bit jarring, not least of which because so much criticism centered on her looks. Suddenly, it had been decided that SJP wasn't an actress with quirky good looks; now it was decided that she was downright ugly, a charge we find to be more than a little ridiculous. Sure, we've criticized some of her fashion choices, but we've always maintained that if SJP wasn't famous and she walked into a party, many if not all of the straight male heads in the room would turn in her direction, if for no other reason than she's still got a killer body, striking blue eyes and a sexy mane of blonde hair.

But it was the criticism of the show and the quality of the criticisms of the first movie that really got our backs up. Look, we criticized it too, but we criticized it on the merits, not on the fact that they're all in their 40s and sexually active, which is what so much of the bitching revolved around. That's a charge that really stuck in our craw because on any given day in any given year, you can check the movie listings and somewhere there's a big budget mainstream release wherein the male romantic lead is in his mid-40s AT LEAST and no one bats an eye, even when he's paired with a female a good ten to twenty years younger than he is. All this managed to prove to us is that the film critic industry is dominated by men. Seriously. Outside of Manohla Dargis in the NYT, we can't think of one leading film critic sans penis. What most of those male critics couldn't understand was that the very concept of Sex and the City was designed to make most straight men deeply uncomfortable. Instead of realizing that and owning their own reactions to it, many (most) of them simply wrote it off as a silly chick flick about sexually voracious middle-aged women who spend too much money. And when you think about it, that's a concept that really hits all the major areas of male entitlement and insecurity.

This is a very long-winded way of saying that even though we think the show's time has passed and the transition into movies wasn't a great idea from an aesthetic point of view, we will still defend those girls from what we think are unfair criticisms from people who never bothered to see the world past their noses. Of course they're shallow. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. It was never meant to be a show about the experiences of all women. It was a show about a very narrow sliver of the female experience: single, educated, financially secure urban white women over thirty. We don't know about you, but for our crowd, built in to the viewing experience of each show was the post-game wrapup, wherein a bunch of us, lubricated on Cosmos, sat around and talked about what a smacked ass Carrie is for mistreating Aiden, or for spending $40,000 on shoes without realizing it, or for constantly making everything about her. That wasn't a bug of the show; it was a feature. Pardon us for saying so, but (some) women like to judge other women. A simple check of our comments section bears this out on an almost daily basis. As an audience member, you weren't supposed to cheer on every decision or action the characters made; you were supposed to discuss them, as if you were all sitting around talking about the friends that weren't in the room; their fashion choices, their relationship choices, and even their career choices.

Now, having said all that...kittens, this trailer pains us. Obviously it's only a couple of minutes from a much longer movie, but it looks to us like the mistakes of the first film have only been magnified in the second. Gone are the complex, infuriating, quirky (there's that word again) women of the TV series and in their place are a bunch of over-the-top drag queens parading around in increasingly silly outfits. And the Morocco setting only makes us think of the AbFab episode where Patsy sold Saffy into white slavery.

Are we going to see it? Of course we are. But to be honest, we can practically guarantee that this movie isn't going to provide nearly the entertainment that sitting down with the DVDs from the first 4 seasons of the show does.

Season 7 Preview! Pics & Videos! No Fooling!

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:02:00 +0000

Here's your Christmas present, kittens.

No matter what; no matter how bad the previous season may have been; no matter how many of us, after a particulary crack-y judges' decision, declare that we are NEVER WATCHING THIS SHOW AGAIN; we still get a little thrill seeing Tim and Heidi on a rooftop with champagne.

These pics are almost completely without context. We'll be getting to the prejudging of each designer over the holiday season, so eventually we'll all have very strong opinions about people we've never met and darlings, isn't that what Christmas is all about? Judging strangers anonymously?

Excuse us Tim, but you probably should stop saying "in the history of Project Runway" so much. Wherever did he get the idea that no designer has ever simply not finished a piece? We can think of a couple right off the top of our heads.

LML: Runway Rundown Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:46:00 +0000

Strap yourselves in so you don't get whiplash, kittens. Ready? Go!

Louanna & Jim

They seem to be working well together, but come on:

Pull something else out of your trickbag for once.

Oh, look. It's shiny, it's gray, it's off the shoulder, and it's draped. Done and done. We promise not to do this too often, but if this was PR, Nina would have had their spleens for doing too much of the same.

The belt's nice, though.

Eric & Galina

Tacky and Tackier.

COLOR! AND VOLUME! AND SHINE!

And if none of that works...PEACOCK FEATHERS!

If they keep throwing everything they've got at the judges week after week, they're eventually going to run out of things to throw. The proportions are weird on this thing. That lower half is way more voluminous than it needs to be and that sash is way too big.

Vanessa & Tressa

We adore The Essas. It's like every week, they put their heads together and ask themselves "What's the craziest thing we can send down that runway?"

Answer? CHINCHILLA CULLOTES.

At least we think they're culottes. They weren't allowed to make dresses, and they weren't sent home, so we have to figure that this isn't actually a dress, even though it looks like one.

It's kind of cute, if a little plain. It goes without saying (but we'll say it anyway) that we do not support the idea of chinchilla culottes, even if there is a part of us that loves the insanity of the idea.

Thing is, they were supposed to be inspired by the animal and just wrapping some faux fur around Amanda's thighs isn't enough. So, while we applaud their boldness, we have to wag our fingers at them for not really doing what they were asked to do.

Project Runway Season 7: Meet Amy Sarabi

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:41:00 +0000

Goodness, bitches! PRS7 starts in 3 weeks! We've got some prejudging to do!

Amy Sarabi

Age: 26
Hometown: Plano, TX

Favorite designer(s)?

Christian Wijnants right now, but my all-time favorites are Hussein Chalayan and Martin Margiela.

Current occupation?

Fashion designer; permalancer at Men's Active Old Navy.

What is a fashion must?

Black tights.

What is your design training?

BFA and intensive training in womenswear, menswear and illustration.

Have you won any awards related to design?

GenArts Fresh Faces in Fashion contest and the International Duperre Award from AoF, among others.
What's your favorite material or fabric to work with?

Linen and cotton voile.

What are your favorite colors?

Black and nude/flesh tones.

Favorite designer from past seasons of Project Runway?

Jay McCarroll.

Project Runway challenge you wish they'd bring back for your season?

Grocery store challenge.

Project Runway challenge you hope they don't bring back?

Menswear for an athlete.

Alright, take away our bitch cards if you must, but we like her. She's pretty fabulous, with a strong personal style and a sweet personality. Something tells us when the chips are down and she's back against the wall and other cliches, that she'll reach deep down inside herself and release her inner bitch. It's all very Jedi in fashion, darlings.

Anyway, let's look at her portfolio:

It's interesting. Sort of a combination of professional polish coupled with fashion student innovation. That's not a bad combination to have in this contest. Remember Ari Fish? That's what happens when you have innovation, but no polish.

Clearly, the girl loves her techniques. As always with this show, it's about marrying your design fallbacks to the expectations of the judges and the dictates of the challenge. If she can keep that level of polish to her work while at the same time giving the judges reason to say "How did you do that?" she'll stay in the game a while.

In or Out: Sarah Jessica Parker

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:13:00 +0000

Darlings, we are snowed in. Let's light a fire, make some hot cocoa, and criticize people's clothes together.

Sarah Jessica Parker on the Today Show promoting her new movie "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" in Chanel.

Chanel Spring 2010 Collection
Model: Kamila Filipcikova

It's a really cute outfit, even if it does come right up to the border of Twee Town. We kind of think the shoes - what Nina Garcia would call "angry shoes" - are a little heavy for the outfit. We also think those tights look like total ass.

Hair and makeup are good. Who thinks it might be time for her to try a different hairstyle? She changes it up every once in a while, but this has been her default look since 1997.

Despite our nit-picking, she's IN. What can we say? She looks cute.

LML: Runway Rundown

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:07:00 +0000

Butt wait! There's more!

Marilyn & Coco

These two have one of the more irritating relationships on the show, though not the worst by a long shot (guess which team THAT is, bitter kittens!). They're two personalities that are absolutely not suited to each other.

And yet, as a team they have potential because they keep sending out fairly polished, stylish (if a bit over the top), and wearable looks.

It's a bit too much in the Halston/Studio 54 mode to look modern enough to us (although that ... thing on her head can't be helping much).

But we like the color; the proportions are elegant; and we like the little touches like the sash.

But there is no excuse for THAT. She looks like a slutty USO chorus girl.

Merle & Thai

On the other hand, these two seem to have a great relationship. They're definitely on the same page. She knows what she wants to do and he knows how to do it for her.

We can't say we love this because we can't say we love anything that looks like a high end track suit, but at least it has a few things going for it.

It has nice proportions and feels more modern than Marilyn and Coco's. It has a lot of nice touches. It seems like thought was put into every single element: the sleeves, the neckline, the cuffs. You could argue that it's a little over-designed, but we think it's all those elements that prevent it from being a track suit. Unfortunately, it has a decidedly pajamas-esque feel that doesn't help it.

Patrick & Roberto

Worst team ever? You betcha!

There was absolutely no excuse for this. Everyone else had finished looks walking that runway. Roberto never really demonstrated an inability to manage his time before. Quite the opposite; he always managed to work in the time to schedule operatic hissy fits of grand proportions. It makes us wonder if he didn't just deliberately take his own sweet time on this one.

But here's the thing: Patrick's got to shoulder some of the blame here. Yes, he's been sweet so far, but that's the problem. He needs to break out the bitchpants pronto. And we mean the leather, studded bitchpants.

Plus, even if you think he couldn't possibly get a saddle on Roberto, you have to at least admit this:

There is a DEFINITE taste issue at work here.

We're sorry. There's no defending this. In all seriousness, not even a hooker or a stripper would wear this, that's how awful it is. And let's face it, it's been a string of mostly awful with these two so far. There was a promise in the beginning of colorful over-the-top clothes but all we've gotten is colorful messes. We can't honestly say if the judges had good reason to keep this team in for one more week or if the producers just want to keep them in for drama. We don't know the players well enough to speculate. We know this: unless they do something damn impressive next week, they need to go home.

Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2010

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:18:00 +0000

Some pretty for your morning.

Style.com does the leg work:

"I wanted everything light as a feather," Carolina Herrera said about pre-fall. Where better to look for inspiration than the tango? The designer used a colorful 1920's print of dancers locked arm in arm for both a crepe de chine cocktail dress and a floor-length shirt gown, and its bold hues—lava red, dandelion yellow, and Directoire blue—informed the rest of a cheerful collection that played to the designer's strengths."

We don't know if we quite buy the "light as a feather" characterization since it's not how we would describe a collection of tailored looks, but there's definitely a lightness in tone here. It seems that she and her colleague Oscar de la Renta have rushed headlong into the economic doom and gloom and put out collections defiantly bright, feminine, and print heavy.

There really isn't a wrong note anywhere in this collection. Oh sure, it's somewhat standard in form and structure, but that's what you get with Carolina. You also get a refined sense of femininity and a classic sense of beauty. It's just pretty clothes. Period. Can't go wrong with that.

Madonna for Dolce & Gabbana

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:42:00 +0000

Madge says, "You're soaking in it!"

We featured these pics on our Facebook page but we though we'd kick them over to the main arena for discussion. Vanity Fair Italy features Dolce & Gabbana's new spring/summer 2010 campaign featuring Madonna photographed by Steven Klein. Swide had this to say:

"In keeping with Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2010 collection's emphasis on Mediterranean heritage and classic Italian sensuality, the mood isn't unlike a film from the days of Italian Neorealism. Madonna herself recalls the strong, raw sensuality of the iconic actress Anna Magnani..."

Okay, maybe that last bit is going too far for us. It's hard to project raw sensuality with so much work evident on your face. And while Madonna never really accomplished the acting career she once planned for herself due to a lack of talent, she always was really good at portraying a character and completing a scene in the medium of photography, creating one iconic image after another over the two-plus decades of her career.

It remains to be seen if these pics are going to reach icon status, but we have to say, these are the best pics we've seen of her in a long time. MUCH better than the ad she did for Louis Vuitton.

Launch My Line S1E3: Congrats & Goodbye

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:24:00 +0000

BAM!

Hey kids! It's Rancho Fabuloso_TM Dan and Dean! In this special collector's edition boxed set, the globetrotting fashion pixies come complete with Rancho Fabuloso _TM fashion ensembles and one animal companion for each, Lloyd the Llama and Zoe Zebra! Mix and match!

Lloyd the Llama and Zoe Zebra's Rancho Fabuloso _TM fashion ensembles sold separately.

Kathy & Emil

Yeah. Those were the looks on our faces too.

"I like a little sage rolling when I'm creating because I feel like that's just when the ancestors come and spirits flowing through..."

"Your ancestors are drying out my contacts. You think maybe you could all catch up some other time?"

Kathy, no one likes to hear this, but your ancestors have questionable taste.

Aw, we're being harsh. It's not that bad. Wouldn't have been our pick for the win, but certainly salable and wearable with some style to it.

We're not supercrazy about the top.

And that belt. It pains us. The fabric choices were a great idea, but the way they utilized them - that faux primitive that's so hard to do well without looking cheesy - wouldn't have been our choice.

But the back is sexy and overall the look has nice proportions and a toned-down style. We're sure the halls of your ancestors are filled with cheering as they all catch up on their reality television viewing, Kathy.

Kevin & Akiko

Ugh. THIS one.

Not an awful person. Certainly we've seen far worse personalities rear their heads on reality television. Just absolutely the wrong personality for this type of show.

For one, his only concept of fashion design is what would look good on the floor next to the bed.

For another, he somehow got the idea that a fashion competition (normally a place for behind-the-back bitch-talking and vows-to-destroy in the Alexis Carrington mold) called for Survivor-esque smack-talking and fist-pumping. It got old super-quick and we predicted in the first episode that his elimination would come exactly when it did.

Props to Akiko for handling Kevin with professionalism and a sense of humor. She could have easily become offended or put off by his antics, but she dealt with them exactly the way they should be when the cameras are on you: dryly and with a roll of the eyes. It couldn't have been easy for her to remain drama-free, but she managed it.

Yikes.

I Dream of Jeannie: The Meth Years.

To be fair, the collar's got some interest.

But man, everything below that is a tragedy in clothing form.

He was actually very sweet in his post-elimination comments when he talked about his daughter. He just came into it with the wrong game plan is all.

Well. That, and the fact that he had no real fashion or design sense.

In or Out: Zoe Saldana

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 13:50:00 +0000

Zoe Saldana attends the "Avatar" Los Angeles premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre
in Hollywood, California in Versace.

There is a slight tendency among Hollywood stylists to default to the "science fiction dress" when their client is due to appear at the premiere of her science fiction movie. Similarly, if the client is appearing at the premiere of her fantasy film, then Elven, flowy, goddess-y type dresses become all the rage.

Versace Spring 2010 Collection
Model: Iris Strubegger

So yeah, the tight metallic dress is in some ways par for the course and totally expected, but y'know? It's still a pretty eye-catching dress. We approve, but not as much as we approve of her arm candy. IN on both counts.

"Nine" New York Premiere

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 19:05:00 +0000

Enough with the PRS7 speculation and prejudging. We've got some ripping to do, Bitter Kittens!

A murmuration of starlets attended the New York premiere of "NINE" sponsored by Chopard at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City.

Fergie in Marchesa Resort 2010

Here's the thing: it's plain and safe to the point of boring, but she tends to veer wildly all over the red carpet, with looks ranging from clown-car to classic. We'll take this.

Kate Hudson in Chanel Fall 2009 Couture

It's not our favorite dress from that collection. We just can't abide that pointless and silly-looking train. Still, edit that out in your head, and she looks cute. She's got no clue how to pose for a picture, though.

Goldie Hawn in Christian Dior Spring 2008

Oh, good lord. Much as we love her, Miss Piggy is not a fashion icon.

Judi Dench

Oh, dear. Look, we're just going to say it: she looks matronly. Yes, she is a matron, if you want to get pedantic about it, and we're certainly not suggesting she should go out and vamp it up or glam it out. But we've seen her make much better choices and walk the red carpet looking much better than this. Judi, we luvya, but this is the premiere of a major motion picture; not the Christmas concert of your church choir.

Mary and Ashley Olsen

God bless those crazy little gremlins. Who would have thought twenty years ago those goofy looking sitcom toddlers would grow up to become fashion bitches? We're stubbornly proud of the fact that we have no interest in trying to remember which one is which, so we'll just say we like the jacket on the one on the left. The one on the right looks like an evil muppet.

Madonna and Lourdes Leon in Dolce & Gabbana [Spring 2010]

Once again, Madge tries to recycle her past. The crucifix and the lingerie-inspired dress only make her look sad to us. It's not a bad look, and on someone else, we might even laud it, but on her, it's just a boring and deliberate attempt on her part to remind everyone of the good old days.

Lourdes actually looks cute. Don't you just assume, without really knowing anything worthy about her, that she must be the biggest, brattiest little bitch in the world? That little vixen hits 18 and she's gonna make Paris and Lindsay look like Joan of Arc.

Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior

Like Fergie's dress, it's pretty and it's safe. But we expect more from the gal who rocked a fish dress at the Oscars. Plus those beads; they don't work, right? Is it us?

Naomi Watts in Marchesa

Alexis Carrington's secretary on a bad hair day. We love "bare" makeup when it's done well and on the right face, but this really isn't the dress to be wearing if you're going for a clean look.

Nicole Kidman in Prada Fall 2009 [Modified version]

It's nothing spectacular and it's yet another look that reinforces her china-doll persona, but we have to say, it's the best she's looked in a while, in our opinion.

UPDATE: Makeup malfunction. Someone is going to get fired.

Penelope Cruz in vintage Chanel couture

Did you know that Penelope is FIERY and EARTHY and SENSUAL? Because she is SPANISH? No? Then you must not have read every article written about her in the last 5 years. This dress is for all of you, then. When she turns around, the back reads "SEXY SPANISH LADY" in glitter script.

Guess which sentence in this post we completely made up.

Jennifer Garner in W Magazine

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:16:00 +0000

W Magazine January 2010
Photographed by Craig McDean
Styled by Lori Goldstein
Hair by Orlando Pita
Makeup by Gucci Westman

We were always kind of ambivalent about Ms. Garner. Pretty enough, but nothing special and almost completely devoid of any charisma whatsoever. Never saw a performance of hers that ever stuck in our minds, either. If it weren't for the Mrs. Affleck thing, she'd be completely forgettable.

Having said that, we like this editorial, for the most part. We're not super-crazy about the cover, which almost looks like they took her picture before she was ready. The rest of the pictures look great. She should wear that Egyptian-style eyeliner more often because it completely transforms her from pretty girl to sultry siren - and it's not a look that most can pull off without looking trashy (e.g., Amy Winehouse, although that could be due to the fact that Amy's already pretty trashy).

Love all the clothes (with the exception of the Lanvin off-the-shoulder jumpsuit), although we have to say, she's kind of over-accessorized, even for an editorial.

LML: Runway Rundown Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:50:00 +0000

Let's wrap it up, put a stamp on it, and mail it, kittens.

Patrick & Roberto

But first, a correction, because we are so very ethical here at T Lo Communications International. We had been informed through various sources that Roberto had designed the dress Carrie Underwood wore to perform at the AMAs; the dress that was shockingly similar to one of the dresses from Carol Hannah's finale collection for Project Runway. Well, we heard straight from the horse's ~~ass~~ mouth that, while he has designed stagewear for Carrie, he did NOT design the CH ripoff dress.

There. Consider yourself informed. Moving right along...

We're all for CHDQs who know how to maximize their camera time. Despite all the crying of "I don't watch these shows for DRAMA!" the fact of the matter is, when there isn't any drama (see: PR seasons 4 and 6), the general consensus among the viewership is that the season is boring.

So, fine. Yay for the CHDQs, we say. Only, there's the right way to do it and the wrong way to do it, and Roberto here is definitely doing it the wrong way. For one, it's way too obvious. He might as well wear a sign around his neck that says, "NOTICE ME!!!!!" For another, he's just coming across as an asshole, plain and simple.

And for all the drama...

This team once again produced an ugly and unflattering look.

Not to mention that it barely looks sewn at all.

We'll give them credit for this, though: they do have an interesting sense of color and print, although we'd like to see them both get away from purple.

Kevin & Akiko

What to say about these two? She seems like a doormat half the time and he somehow got the idea in his head that fashion design is akin to cage fighting. To her we say, "Stand up, girl!" and to him we say, "Tone it down, buddy. It's a dress, not warfare."

Yikes. We barely recognized Amanda here in her "hooker secretary" getup. Why is it that those who provide the most drama almost always produce the worst garments?

It's a rhetorical question, of course. They provide all the drama because deep down they know their output is not up to par with other contestants'. Call it The Pepper Factor.

Tacky, ugly, unflattering.

Louanna & Jim

Even though we thought last week's winning garment was way over-praised, these two comprise another team that bears watching. She has taste and he has skills and let's face it, that's all you need to win this contest.

We're not super-crazy about the fabric picked for the sarong, but the swimsuit is pretty hot.

Although it would leave some very strange tan lines.

Marilyn & Coco

More drama for your mama. Quick psychoanalysis: Marilyn is a control freak and Coco is passive-aggressive.

We enjoy reality show drama in many forms, but we cannot abide the "I'm tired" excuse. You tried out for this show and unlike the (probable) hundreds of other tryouts, you got picked to be on it. Suck it up and quitcher bitchin'.

We still think kimonos make for strange beach attire, but as designs go, this isn't terrible.

What's terrible are the fabric choices. That lining is a little on the tacky side, but it might have worked if it hadn't been paired with that satin-y yellow.

Seriously, who wears shiny fabrics to the beach?

Virgins v. Vixens

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:00:00 +0000

It's a Christmas Miracle! V v. V is BACK!

Unfortunately, kittens, with the return of our beloved hardscrabble divas, comes the news that one of them left the ring on a stretcher. Yes, it's true:

DORIS DAY IS DEAD.

And pets will never again be neutered because of it. Happy now?

To be honest, we can't say the outcome was a surprise. When we first posted it, we were trying to guess the outcome and came to the conclusion that Miss Day's style of demur is simply too far out of fashion to go up against Sophia's timeless sensuality. To our pleasant surprise, she rallied, though, getting far more votes and making the bout far tighter than we would have guessed.

At any rate, Sophia has more than earned her rest by going up against one powerhouse after another. She's taking a break for some pasta and grappa to get her strength back for her return to the ring. In the interim, we have two MAJOR powerhouses for this "week's" bout. Clutch your pearls and hold on to your handbags ladies, because NO ONE can predict how things will turn out as...

HRH PRINCESS GRACE OF MONACO (aka Miss Grace Kelly)

takes on

DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR

And the crowd goes wild!

We're a little partial to the Princess because she's a hometown Philly girl and the poster child for marrying well. On the other hand, has there ever been a dame as dame-y as Elizabeth Taylor? That bitch knew how to LIVE. On the one hand, she's an honest-to-god princess; on the other hand, she's the greatest fag hag who ever has and ever will live. On the one hand, Rear Window; on the other hand, White Diamonds ("These have always brought me luck."). Choices, choices, bitches! Get to work!

Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2010

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:49:00 +0000

Style.com gets it done:

"You have to make a woman fall in love with your clothes." That was Oscar de la Renta backstage before his pre-fall show, talking about how to woo the customer during the recession."

"The multicolor patchwork carried into evening; he showed a long narrow skirt with a ruffled silk chiffon blouse and a can't-miss-it necklace. Some clients might find that kind of full-on luxe too over-the-top, downturn or not. For them, de la Renta whipped up a black silk faille gown with plenty of drama on the left shoulder that looked special in a lower key."

"You have to make a woman fall in love with your clothes." That about sums up the ODL philosophy right there. It's all about the pretty and it always has been. This collection's slightly sportier than what we assume we're going to get from Oscar and both the color story and extensive use of prints are also pleasant surprises. Overall, these looks are "busier" than a typical ODL collection, but they have a sense of fun and joy to them. They're overstyled, but you can find some fantastic pieces in there.

And a note to Miss Nina Garcia: We love ya, doll, but we never got over your assessment of Laura Bennett, when you said that you weren't convinced that Laura knew fashion. Some of those low cut black lace numbers with the maribou feathers are straight out of the LB playbook. We're not suggesting for a second that ODL ripped her off. We're just saying that "classic" looks and techniques (like black lace and feathers) ALWAYS show up back on the runway at some point.

In or Out: Kelly Rowland

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:32:00 +0000

Kelly Rowland attends the Grey Goose Character & Cocktails winter fundraiser in aid of the Elton John AIDS Foundation at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London, England in Basil Soda.

Looking SPECTACULAR.

Basil Soda Fall 2009 Couture

This is all about the wearer for us. Truth be told, we're not 100% sold on this dress and if it was worn by someone else, we probably wouldn't love it as much as it looks on Kelly. For one, it's a LOT of dress and a lot of shiny; for another, it's in the vein of the kind of Disney Princess gowns we're SO TIRED of seeing on the red (beige?) carpet. But it hugs her curves perfectly and while it does that whole drapey-drape thing that bores us, it at least doesn't overdo it and it offeres up some fitting and embellishment that take it to another level. Plus, we love the color on her. Hair and makeup is flawless, but we would have advised against the dangly earrings. Never with a high collar, dear. Still, she's IN.

RuPaul's Drag Race S2: Meet the Ladies

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 16:23:00 +0000

Bitches, RPDR2 is on its way!

Returning to LOGO in February 2010, RuPaul's Drag Race promises the perfect blend of bitchery and glam. Sequins and feathers will be our ticket out of the winter doldrums, kittens. Since pre-judging is a tradition here at T Lo, let's all look at pictures and bios and paint wildly inaccurate assessments of the contestants, shall we? Okay!

Jessica Wild
28, San Juan, Puerto Rico - This spitfire with a heart of gold was cast after trouncing her competition in RuPaulCasting.com's online contest. A self-professed daydreamer, Jessica yearns to be a drag singer like her idol, RuPaul. But will her language skills impede her path to becoming America's Next Drag Superstar?

Jujubee
25, Boston MA - A dynamo and a delight, Jujubee is everyone's best friend. But don't you dare get it twisted; this Laotian Beantown queen will read you to filth if you cross her. A jack of all that is drag, Jujubee is a shoo-in to win the title yet, she struggles to stand out from the pack. Will she figure out a way to make the judges notice her?

Morgan McMichaels
28, Mira Loma, CA - Brash, confident and outspoken, this Scottish lass thinks, correction, knows she's America's Next Drag Superstar. And she's got the experience to back up her conviction: Morgan's a member of "The Dream Girls Review", the longest running drag show in Southern California. But will Miss McMichaels live up to the hype?

Mystique Summers Madison
25, Bedford, TX - This self-proclaimed "gown bitch" wants you to know that big girls can do everything skinny girls can -- and better. A buxom beauty, Mystique is proud to rep for full-figured queens everywhere and intends to nab the top prize no matter what it takes. That is, if she doesn't get in her own way first.

Nicole Paige Brooks
36, Atlanta, GA - Don't take it personal but this southern belle isn't interested in making friends. She's got one goal only: to stomp out the competition. And with fourteen years of drag experience under her thirty-inch belt, this mouthy queen just might pull it off.

Pandora Boxx
37, Rochester, NY - The oldest queen in the competition, Pandora's humor and charm makes her this season's funny girl and a real contender for the top prize. But it's gonna take a lot more than comic chops for Miss Boxx to knockout her more glamorous rivals.

Raven
30, Riverside, CA - Striking, edgy and foul-mouthed, Raven will always tell you like it is and too bad if you don't like it. If she doesn't show the judges the softer side of Raven, however, she's going to have a tough time winning the competition.

Sahara Davenport
29, New York, NY - Trained in Ballet, Jazz and Modern dance, this Harlem princess is determined to prance her way to the finish line. But will Her Regal-ness be able to let loose and prove there's more to her than the perfect pirouette?

Shangela Laquifa Wadley
28, Studio City, CA - This baby queen has only been doing drag for four months but you'd be a fool to underestimate her. With her eyes on the prize, Shangela is determined to show that experience is just a ten-letter word.

Sonique
26, Atlanta, GA - Born and raised in a tiny Bible belt town, Sonique's a good 'ole Southern gal. But don't let her small town pedigree fool you, this former gymnast and stunning beauty has a few tricks up her tuck and she's not afraid to use them.

Tatianna
21, Falls Church, VA - This queen is serving up fish and "it ain't trout". Tatianna's undeniable beauty and killer bod are intimidating the hell out of her competition. But will her age and lack of experience hold her back from the prize she so desperately wants?

Tyra Sanchez
21, Orlando, FL - Tyra swears she's "America's Sweetheart" but you better watch your back 'cuz Miss Thing's objective is clear: obliterate and annihilate. This crafty queen knows how to work a runway and her competitors' nerves, and she'll stop at nothing to win.

LML: Runway Rundown

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:28:00 +0000

To hell with your holiday shopping! We've got dresses to rip!

Kathy & Emil

Y'know, all things considered, this wasn't that bad.

The good parts: the shape and the colors.

The bad part: tentacles.

Plus the fact that a mini-kimono doesn't exactly call to mind the beach. Still, it was an interesting attempt.

Vanessa & Tressa

IT'S A CHRISTMAS CRACKTACULAR!

It is also, of course, quite awful. Even if we could embrace the, shall we say, campier aspects of this look...

...we just can't get past the sheer ugliness of that...

... and that. Indefensible craft project crap.

In other news, Tressa...

...designed this dress, which was worn by Heidi~~Klum~~ Samuel recently.

Merle & Thai

Man, were these bitches ever robbed.

That skirt, with its layered hems, is gorgeous.

And sure, the sleeves were a little gimmicky, but since each entry is supposed to be part of a line, Merle has already established that her line is supposed to be gimmicky.

Bottom line: even though this team was egregiously ignored, there's no doubt in our minds that they're definitely the ones to beat going forward. They have a clear concept for their line and a sense of style to make it interesting.

In or Out: Christina Ricci

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:57:00 +0000

Work it!

Christina Ricci attended the The 3rd Annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS in Dubai, wearing Marc Jacobs.

Model: Kamila Filipcikova

To borrow from Rachel Zoe, she is KILLING it here. She is SHUTTING IT DOWN. We don't know what herbal supplement or energy drink she's discovered lately, but suddenly she's going out over and over again looking more fabulous than she's ever looked. Whatever you're paying your stylist, honey, double it. IN.

L’Équipe: Boot Camp

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:10:00 +0000

Who don't love a man (half out of) uniform?

Now THIS is the kind of stuff we need to be featuring more often here at T Lo Communications International:

L’Équipe - Sport & Style
Issue: #19
Editorial: Boot Camp
Models: Chad White, Kerry Degman, Caleb Halstead, Mike Derr, Ryan Bertroche, Chris L., Oraine Barrett, Mischel Ellern, and Jenry Bejarano [partial list].
Stylist: Luciano Neves
Photographer: Richard Phibbs

Ladies (and we mean the literal ladies in the audience), take comfort in the fact that it's not just female models who get treated like pieces of meat. Here we have an editorial that almost instantly goes from being about the clothes to being about the men modeling the clothes, except by the end, most of them aren't wearing any clothes.

Hey, you'll hear no complaints from us. Bask in the pretty, bitches.

Who let the girl in?

The Shiniest Shelley O Yet (Updated)

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:51:00 +0000

Darlings, put your sunglasses on, ladies. We've got two to tackle today.

US President Barack Obama accepts the Nobel Peace Prize during a ceremony at the City Hall in Oslo.

Calvin Klein Fall 2009 Collection [Cardigan by Nina Ricci]
Model: Diana Karkhullina

Oh dear.

People have a tendency to get a little bent out of shape if we criticize her too much, but honeys, every single consistent criticism we've made of her since she entered the public eye is embodied in this one look.

When she nails it, she really nails it. But when she doesn't nail it, she always makes the same mistakes every time.

To wit: too matchy-match (in fact, everything is EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR); there's no consideration for her figure and what silhouettes work for her(in fact, this is boxy and shapeless with the coat on); SHE'S WEARING A CARDIGAN. WHILE HER HUSBAND ACCEPTS THE NOBEL. Honey, if there's ever a time to pull it together, now would be that time. The only thing she managed to miss this time was the boob belt. We give her credit (as always) for taking risks and for having an eye, but she still hasn't learned about fit and proportion, not to mention styling.

U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama arrive at the Grand Hotel in Oslo before attending the Nobel banquet in his honor.

Azzedine Alaïa Spring 2010 Collection

As simple and almost prom-like as this dress is, it really works for her; in the color, the proportions, and most of all, the simplicity, which she tends to wear well.

And we love the placement of the straps. Very flattering on her.

But for all our bitching and moaning about her many fashion missteps, we see her in something like this:

... and we can't help but bow down. She is the First Lady. And she's wearing THAT. That's just awesome.

Glee S1E13: Sectionals

noreply@blogger.com (TLo) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:13:00 +0000

"She's the one they made me talk to when they found out I was keeping that bird in my locker."

Sad as we are to see the show go on hiatus until the spring, we were looking forward to this episode because the depiction of sectionals meant we were pretty much guaranteed a bunch of great numbers. We weren't even thinking of plot much but we got that in spades too. We have to admit, as annoying as the two pregnancy storylines sometimes got, we kind of love how they brought them each to their conclusion: as mundanely as possible. Will finds a baby bump pillow and lifts Terri's shirt. Done. Rachel, standing as she does in the center of things in the Glee club, figures out the obvious and tells Finn she doesn't think he's the father of Quinn's baby. Done.

But let's face it, the musical numbers are what keep us all coming back week after week and last night's episode did not disappoint.

Y'know, it could be argued that giving "And I Am Telling You" to the sassy, chubby black girl is just a tiny bit on the cliche side, but a): they treated it like the expected thing it was, and b): she FUCKING NAILED IT with a version that would have made both Jennifers sit down for a minute.

And what do you do after the sassy, chubby black girl brings down the roof with the anthem for sassy, chubby black girls everwhere? Why, you hand the Jewish girl with the Broadway Baby styling "Don't Rain on My Parade,"(the anthem for Jewish girls with Broadway Baby styling everywhere) and turn her loose, resulting in yet another roof coming crashing down.

But the episode wasn't just a nod to the gays - because anthems for sassy, chubby black girls and Broadway baby Jewish girls are naturally anthems for gayboys as well - because we got a cute version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and a KILLA version of "My Life Would Suck Without You," complete with choreography that served as callbacks to pretty much every other number this season.

And in between we got a ton of drama and a little bit of comedy. In fact, we got what we considered the funniest line and delivery of the entire season:

"Okay. I'm just gonna come out and say it. This is a singing competition. I don't know how those deaf kids got in. They weren't singing, they were like, honking, and everyone was crying and I was like, "Get off the stage. You're terrible and you're making me super uncomfortable."

So hard were we laughing at that that we didn't hear the next five minutes of dialogue.

Sue, of course, got the remainder of the best:
"Hey buddy. I just stopped by to feed my Venus Flytrap."

"You'll be adding revenge to the long list of things you're no good at, right next to being married, running a high school glee club and finding a hairstyle that doesn't make you look like a lesbian."

"Get ready for the ride of your life, Will Schuester. You're about to board the Sue Sylvester Express. Destination: horror!"

It was a completely satisfying hour of television. If the series had been canceled at this point, these 13 episodes would have stood on their own . Thankfully, they'll be back in the spring, stripped clean of most of the silliness plotwise, and geared up for regionals, promising better and better numbers. Can't wait.
