Midday Muse: Weekend Home Warrior

CasaSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:00:32 -0700

Some weekends, I'm ready to tackle any project, be it replanting the garden or repainting the bathroom. Other weekends, all I want to do is curl up with a marathon of Mad Men. Today, I'm wavering between these two extremes.
What do you foresee yourself doing at your home this weekend? Are you up for tackling projects? Or are you ready to hunker down and take it easy?

Open House: What Are You Avoiding?

CasaSugar — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:31:00 -0700

We all have unfinished projects. Sometimes, if I make a list I can get most of those projects tackled, but inevitably, there's always some annoying task that eludes me. The latest bane of my household existence is the storage room off of our garage - we cleaned the garage, but piled anything we didn't want to deal with onto a shelf in the storage room. I know I need to clean it out, but it's really, really, really on the bottom of my priority list.

Do You Agree With the Winner of Project Runway?

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:24:09 -0800

The sixth season of Project Runway, punctuated by a network change and a long lawsuit, wrapped up this week, and the winner was finally announced. And I really mean finally - the collections were actually shown way back in February.

Last week, the majority of you predicted that Carol Hannah would take home the honors. Of course, she didn't win, though I did love her collection. It was Irina and her urban lady-warrior collection that took home the title in the end. Althea was complimented for her sportswear, Carol Hannah wowed with beautiful draping, but neither bested Irina.

Do you agree with the judges and Irina's win, or do you think it should have been Carol Hannah or Althea?

Who Do You Think Should Win Project Runway?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:30:10 -0800

This week's episode of Project Runway was the first installment in the sixth season's finale, which means that we got to jet around with Tim Gunn to see the final contestants at home, working on their collections. Next week, we'll see the fruits of their labor strutting down the catwalk in Bryant Park, completing Lifetime's first season with the reality show. The winner - of Irina, Althea, or Carol Hannah - will also be crowned. Until then, I want to know who you're rooting for - who do you think deserves the title of Project Runway winner?

Do You Agree With This Week's Project Runway Winner and Loser?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:45:39 -0800

This week's Project Runway took me by surprise for a couple reasons. First, I definitely wasn't expecting it to be the last episode before Bryant Park as there were five contestants still competing. Keyword: were. Last night Heidi and Co. auf'd two designers to give us our final three. The second thing that took me by surprise was that they cut a designer whose dress they actually liked. Something smells fishy. Ultimately, I am happy with the chosen three, even if I didn't necessarily agree with the judges' critiques last night. What did you think?

5 Gays Talk Project Runway Fall, at Least One Blames Women

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:00:46 -0800

From moving to the West Coast, to the influx of celebrity judges, to casting drama over talent, five gay men have offered their theories on why viewership of Project Runway fell 25 percent between the premiere of season six and its ninth episode. One faults having three female finalists (though that happened on Bravo's final season too) saying:

"I am all for diversity and playing to your audience’s demographic, but please. And not to sound completely misogynistic, but three women as finalists? No fags? Really? These women were probably the most talented, but obviously when you tell the Bunim/Murray casting juggernaut, 'This is Lifetime: Television for Women, not talented gay male fashion designers,' you get what you get!"

While he jests (mostly), women probably miss the Christian Sirianos who sharpen their tongues before even threading a needle each morning just as much as gay men do. But what do I know? I only watched the first three episodes.

Do You Agree With This Week's Project Runway Winner and Loser?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:30:22 -0700

Michael Kors disappeared from the judges panel on this week's Project Runway, so season two alum Nick Verreos and actress Kerry Washington took his place. The challenge was to craft a companion look for each contestant's best look (not winning look, sadly, because Logan hadn't won a challenge). The winner and loser didn't necessarily surprise me, but the whininess of Althea and Irina irritated me to no end. I was glad that Nick noted how easy it was to cull inspiration from each other in the small group. Either way, do you think the winner deserved the win and the loser deserved the booting?
