Wednesday Shows Highlight- Cashmere Mafia & Project Runway

In tonights Cashmere Mafia, Zoe and Brian’s marriage seems more and more distant with work, kids and work, although they are coming up on their 10th wedding anniversary and the work husband is making a real appearance. Davis and Juliet are still going through it and it seems he’s intent on draining their joint account and picking up and starting over, meanwhile their daughter is having it hard at school and it shows.. Mia is giving John a chance but it seems the handsome brain surgeon may have his work cut out for him because competition is definitely on it’s way as a chef/photographer from a dinner party wants to sweep her off her pumps.. And if the lesbian affair wasn’t enough of a struggle for Caitlin it seems her partner has a Alicia is 3 months pregnant, talk about intense. Well well well, Sam Morgan is the name of the playwright that Caitlin met at the lesbian baby shower and it seems he has shown up at her job to woo her, drama, drama, drama. Sam and Caitlin do dinner and the drinks over flow and they end up sleeping together. A lot of that seems to be going around as Mia is juggling two men, that foxy little minx, John the surgeon is safe while Alex the new guy is refreshingly unsafe. And although Zoe and Brian have been going through some hard time, marriage is about give and take and they both were able to come together and celebrate their wedding anniversary. Hardball is about to begin as Davis has retained a divorce lawyer, once again proving he is slime. Let the games begin. I do look forward to seeing how this all will unfold, until next week.

Tonight’s “Project Runway” Critique Brought To You By Beer

Consultation time: If someone says “tranny” in a dismissive way one more time, I’m going to scream. It’s really just not nice to refer to transsexual people that way. For crying out loud, you’re on Bravo, not Fox!

Anyway, this challenge seems like it’s right up Chris March’s alley: Very costume. Do you have that leopard print in a stretch velour? Great.

Christian is making chaps. I’m almost to the point of liking him when he says Sweet P’s design looks like “tranny ice queen.” I’m back to thinking he’s a jerk. Sorry Christian-lovers. (I know you’re out there. He’s cute and he’s talented. I understand that. My issue is that he thinks he’s a lot cuter and a lot more talented than he is.

Sweet P and Ricky are both having a lot of trouble. Sweet P’s outfit looks too regular-old-stripper, and WWE Divas need to look a lot flashier than the average stripper. And Ricky’s… well, it’s OK. Frankly, the best one looks to be Christian’s. The chaps alone are genius.

Sweet P hates the amount of crap (uh, embellishment) that has to be added to the costume, and Rami tells her she doesn’t have to add it all. I don’t think either of them get it: This is supposed to be over the top! Chris understands it, and so, as much as I resist saying it, does Christian. Sweet P is way off the rails, though: When she tries to ramp it up, she ends up with what Tim calls “Eva Gabor in Green Acres.” If she pleases the customer, the judges will hate it - but if she stiffs the customer, the judges will punish her for that, too. No matter what, she’s screwed.

Even Chris is worried about that clash: “What is Nina Garcia going to say about a pink spandex outfit?” At fitting, Chris and Christian look great, Jillian and Rami are looking OK, and Ricky and Sweet P are in deep trouble.

Of course, it turns out that the guest judges are Traver Rains and Richie Rich from Heatherette, who are the most likely designers to appreciate the theatricality and sequins of WWE. So, most of those concerns are allayed.

The best three: Christian’s outfit is incredible: Well-finished, well-fitting, sexy. Same with Jillian’s, which could go on a superhero, if not a supermodel. And those hot-shorts, which impress my household and also Traver. Chris has done a decent job: The glittery fabric on the shorts is repeated in the lining of the hoodie, and the judges are seriously impressed.

OK: Rami’s look is unexceptional, a pink cheerleader outfit of some kind. It overemphasizes the chest and it looks like it’s been dyed with Pepto-Bismol.

Bad: Ricky’’s made a decent bathing suit but a poor costume, and it’s got an ugly coverup too. And of course Sweet P has managed to produce something that doesn’t please the judges OR the client.

Winner: Chris! This is a pleasant surprise for me and a great change for someone who was eliminated earlier in the season. “Of course I won the tackiest challenge…” he says. Well, yes, but we love you anyway, sweetheart.

Loser: Ricky! I’m kind of surprised, because I thought that his bathing suit was decent, even i
f it wasn’t exactly the right item for the occasion. And I’m very surprised that we don’t see Ricky cry in his exit interview. What the hell? How can we be denied the catharsis of tears? Unfair!
