Seriously, Project Runway??! Seriously??!!

Today I will voice my extreme displeasure about the winner of Project Runway. 

In other words: SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

Okay, non-finale viewers gone? Good.

So can we all just agree that Anya did NOT deserve to win?  Yeah, horribleness.  Y'all, she did not have a single pant, top, or jacket.  Hell, she didn't even have a single ZIPPER OR BUTTON.  It was just caftan after caftan.  I'm pretty sure I could grab a printed fabric and wrap it around a model and put together the same runway show.  Thirteen v-neck printed caftans does not a Project Runway winner make. 

But, sadly, last night it did. 

I don't understand.  Viktor was clearly the best.  Those prints were to die for.  I literally licked the screen when his opening dress came out on the runway.  Okay, not literally, but mentally.  To die for, people. To die for.  And he had, you know, designs complete with structure and zippers and all. 

Hell, even crazy Josh pulled it together for a runway show.  His collection had vision, was fashion forward, and had different types of pieces.  No one but Anya showed the same look over and over.  The judges should have skewered her for it, but instead they picked her as the winner!!!!
I get why they kept her all season, the fans loved her and it keeps people watching. I get that, I do.  I don't think she deserved to be in the finale, but I didn't question the decision.  But it's the finale, you already have the viewers there, there's no next episode to get people to watch.  You don't have to keep the fan favorite anymore.  YOU CAN GET RID OF HER.

While Anya really did have fun style, good style does not a designer make.  Hell, by that criteria, I'd be an amazing designer!

I have never been so disappointed by a reality tv show decision since Bristol Palin made it to the finals of Dancing With the Stars.  But she at least didn't win!  I seriously had a 10 minute rant about this with 4 sales associates at my favorite Bucktown boutique today.  And we were all equally as upset about it.

So, readers, what did you think?  Are you equally as angry?  Or am I being crazy?  Sound off in the comments!

Emmys 2011: Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum in Christian Siriano
I love me some Heidi Klum. And I really love me some Christian Siriano. So I really really wanted to love this look. But I don't. I'm fine with the length, short to the Emmys is a-okay with me (as long as it's not too short). And I love a ruffle, but there's just so much ruffle. And the color is so bland. I feel like it's a sad quincinera dress she grabbed off some poor 15 year old on her way to the show. And don't even get me started on Seal's bare chest. Skeevers!!!

My First Christian Siriano Piece

I've neglected you. Sorry. I'm still sifting through my 8 million San Fran pics, but here's a quick post to tide you over.

Y'all know how much I love Project Runway alum Christian Siriano. His style just is all the glam and out there-ness (not a word but I'm going with it) that I love. I've been dying to get something of his for a while. But clearly not the designer stuff. But also not the Payless stuff. Sorry, Payless, not gonna happen. But lucky for me, he has a maternity line. So, per Laura's request, here's me in my very first Christian Siriano piece. It's not my favorite top of all time but it'll do.

Fierce Mamas by Christian Siriano, was $68, sale $33.90 @
