Project Blogway: Mama Said Knock You Out!

Hello fellow Project Runwayers. Resident fashion reality show addict Marisa here giving you the lowdown on our favorite Wednesday night, not so guilty pleasure.

It's week 10. You know what time it is.

10:02-Rami sentimentalizes with Christian, discussing how it's almost over, but there are some ‘hot messes in this final 6,' Christian says. We missed you last week C, but are looking forward to many a ‘fierce' and ‘furrosh' comment ce soir.

Tim Gunn takes the gang on another field trip to find out their next designing mission, and they arrive outside the runway room to ARGH! POW! KABOOM! just like Adam West back in the old school BATMAN days.
Batman
Jillian hears violent and scary war noise. Sweet P hears people killing each other. Christian hears sex moans. Let's turn it over to T Gunn for the answer.

Ding, ding, ding. It's WWE Divas!! Yes, these bestial ladies are wrestling their faces off inside the room and tonight's challenge will be to create outfits for them to wear inside the ring. It's off to the Spandex House. (No, for real.......the Spandex House exists and really sells, well, spandex.)

10:10-It's stripper/tranny wear, says Chris to his leopard clad Diva Maria. She's into it, as she growls and pretends her hand is a claw.

10:10-Yes, you heard correctly.....chaps comes out of Christian's mouth. And, within minutes, the chaps that Christian begins working on for his faaabulous Diva Kristal ends up on his faaabulous lil' diva legs. ‘OMG, it was so fierce.'

What wasn't fierce was Sweet P's ‘f**kin Day-Glo tackiest fabric in the room' get up for Diva Candice, which he called, ‘tranny ice queen." I totally concur.

10:19-Chris describes how he wants his outfit to have a jungle-y feel, with all the straps, like a caged animal but wishes he was putting a man inside his ensemble. Chris like Tarzan. Tarzan not like Jane.

10:22-She's really fierce. She's like one of the fiercest people I've ever met and that's a big deal because I met some fierce bitches up in my life;' and then Diva Crystal proposes to Christian over her leather ‘n lace chaptastic ensemble.

And of course, at some point you knew that they were going to come up with their own WWE Diva names......

Sweet P is SPREAD EAGLE. Her move is the thighs.

Chris is WONDER WOMAN. Her move is (because he chooses to be a girl) smothering men with her large breasts.

Christian is FURROSHA COUTURA. Her move is (because he technically is a girl) spraying girls in the eyes with hair spray. Duh.

My Diva name would be straight outta American Gladiators. Blaze, Ice, Storm....definitely something weather related and my theme song would be ‘Rock You Like A Hurricane.' Pardon the puns.

RUNWAY SHOW TIME!
Richie Rich and Traver Rains of Heatherette are perfectly suited to guest judge this week and
the show begins with Christian's costumey leather and lace piece from PURPLE RAIN for his Diva Kristal. Richie Rich and Michael Kors both like the Prince.

PS, did you all hear Christian professing his love for this outfit more than any of the other competitions?? I smell a career designing for Trashy Lingerie!
Christian's
Next comes Jillian's blue Sporty Spice look that gave her Diva Michelle all the tomboy/girl next door/sex appeal she was looking for. Kors likes the classic athletic look she took while making it sizzle like that damn delicious apple pie at Marix. And Richie Rich liked those booty shorts.
Jillian's
Third comes Ricky's orange cut out bathing suit look for Diva Layla that looked more Miami Beach than girl on girl wrestling action.
Ricky's
Next is Chris's junglicious garment for Diva Maria which he loves. He not so secretly says that he wishes he could wear it because he too hearts the leopard print. Kors and Nina Garcia love the gloves and the expensive looking black glitter lining of the hoodie.
Chris's
Sweet P's silvery ‘robe and reveal' look for Diva Candice Michelle follows. It's very disco ball.....lots of silver, lots of shine, and lots of covering the eyes from the glare. Traver Rains is worried that her chest is going to fall out, however if the genders were switched, he'd be more than happy to see the overflow. Kors called the robe chewed up.
Sweet P's
Last comes Rami's bright pink Barbie look for Diva Torrie, who skips down the runway in delight. She's the All American good girl, so Kors was a bit dissatisfied with the lack of Americana in it and Nina Garcia hated the color. Too Paris Hilton frou frou, says Heatherette.
Rami's
The judges discuss amongst themselves and crown Chris with the championship belt looking more like Nacho Libre than Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin. Ricky gets KO'ed along with the curtain call this evening and unfortunately we are left tearless. He took a page from Ozzy Osbourne's 1991 album title and we are sad.

In this tenth week of competition we've learned that Christian will help you only if your work sucks, Eva Gabor circa GREEN ACRES is no bueno to Tim Gunn, and in the presence of semi-nude girls in spandex, Michael Kors feels like the Pope at a sex club.

Until next Wednesday, Auf wiedersehen.
