Thursday, while we were here gearing up for the latest installment of our fave fashion reality soap, something much bigger was happening in the Project Runway 8 world 3000 miles away. New York Fashion Week kicked off with an Anna Wintour sized bang (’cause she’s got mega bangs, ya dig?) and [...]

After last week’s group challenge fueled trauma and drama, this week’s episode flew by with the greatest of ease. The cringe-worthy moments were down a good 90 percent, and all seemed swell in the land of Project Runway 8 (except for the growing league of haters toward sweet Micheal Costello, that is. [...]

The world of Project Runway 8 was turned upside down last night, and in an epic battle of egos vs. underdogs, the meek did inherit the earth.

This week’s Project Runway 8, Episode 4 recap might be a bit shorter than most, and here’s why: In our humble opinion, it was one of the most unwatchable episodes in recent memory and a travesty given the potential for awesomeness of the “Hats Off To You” challenge. It might also [...]

Project Runway 8, Episode 3 was a party, indeed. That is, if ambulance trips, catty comments and “a transvestite flamenco dancer at a funeral” is your kind of scene.

Now that we are firmly entrenched in Project Runwaydom (as last week’s show was still technically “auditions”) we must admit, it feels good to be back, especially if you’re a Portland fashion fan.
