A-List Awards - The Fashion Show

Well.

That was kind of a bust, wasn't it? Not that it was completely without entertainment value. Certainly, Kathy Griffin could keep us entertained by reading her insurance policy. And Lorenzo says that the live version was a hell of a lot more entertaining than the broadcast one. For one, Kathy came out and started off by reading a list of the words that Bravo wouldn't let her say and she did it in her inimitable Griffin style. Also, the wardrobe malfunction bit she did with Lance Bass was not ready for prime time but it sure as hell was funny. What you didn't see were her gigantic rubber boobs and his gigantic rubber penis. Since the whole joke hinged on that, it came across pretty flat when they blurred the offending body parts out.


Still, how much fun was it to see an All-Star Project Runway challenge?


It was so weird to see Laura and Mychael back in the work room alongside Nick and Sweet P and Chris and even (god help us) Daniel Franco. Of course we were thrilled because it gave us .... MORE DRESSES TO RIP! YAY!



When there were rumors floating around a couple of months ago that there would be an All-Star PR season, we rolled our eyes and declared the idea lame.


But after last night, we've definitely warmed up to the idea. Come on, who wouldn't want to see Laura's maribou feathers go toe to toe with Chris's human hair skirt? Or Sweet P vs. Alison? Nick v. Christian? Ah well. It's probably for the best.


The dresses from last night are all being auctioned off for relief efforts in Myanmar. How cool is that? You can own a Laura Bennett original AND help out your fellow man.

As for the dresses themselves, well...


Let's just say there were varying levels of fabulosity. You want more? Then continue to Page 2.

Project Runway at Gen Art

PR Bitches made several appearances at this year's Gen Art show. Let's take a peek, shall we?

"Now in its tenth year, the 2008 Gen Art Styles competition presented the next crop of emerging fashion talent at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on Monday night, May 19, before a panel of judges that included fashion designers Victoria Bartlett and Marc Ecko among others, Sak's Fifth Avenue Fashion Director Michael Fink and Designer & Agent's founder Barbara Kramer.

A sixth award, the Tone Skincare Fashion Vision Award for Radiance, a $10,000 prize given to the designer best interpreting the Tone brand's theme, "Radiance," through sketches and text, was awarded to Jolibe. [Alison and Jillian were up for this award but sadly, neither won.]

Gen Art is well-known for launching the careers of some of fashion's best rising talents today, including Rodarte, Peter Som, Cloak, Loden Dager, Duckie Browne and Sari Gueron."


Miss McCarroll was there with his ubiquitous gigantic bag.


Alison Kelly. Um....we kinda hate the outfit.


She's wearing a cute necklace from her line of unisex jewelry.


Jillian Lewis. The shoes are fun and the dress is pretty cute, but we're more in love with the bottom half than we are the top.


Kara Saun. Oh honey, no. This isn't working for us at all.


UPDATE: "So ELLE.com enlisted him to head to this year’s Gen Art Styles show and take stock of the talent pool, then pen a personal essay on rising stars, reality checks, and how to blow the judges’ minds. The result is Jay McCarroll, uncensored and (mostly) unedited." Read Jay's take on the event here.
