DANGLING THE SAUSAGE: PROJECT RUNWAY REUNION RECAP

The Project Runway Reunion show aired on Wednesday night. The whole gang gathered with the judges for a look back at the season so far, and to tell everyone what they've been up to.

Sweet P revealed that she's been delighted to have been approached by her fan, Jack Black, even in the presence of Brad Pitt.; Elisa and Kit both talked about the importance of inspiring youth; Carmen revealed that she's very unhappy with comments made during the taping; and Jack said that he's feeling much better since leaving the show and his health has been good.

Tim congratulated the ever-pleasant Victorya for showing her collection at fashion week (how did she get a collection shown at Fashion Week?). Her response, of course, was just to shrug indifferently as if to say, "That's what you idiots get for kicking me off." She also revealed that she was angry about Jack's leaving the show to tend to his health. When they called her out on it, she said, "upset is the word I'd use." Huh?????

They also showed a bunch of video montages of the judges and designers' greatest hits. There was a behind-the-scenes reveal of Michael Kors laughing his head off during the "Diva" challenge. He looked pretty embarrassed as he watched himself losing his shit over the spandexed models' cheesy runway moves. They also played a fabulous review of Heidi's best moments, my favorite (never-before-seen?) moment being when she said to the designers, "I've been dangling the sausage in front of your noses all the time. Now it's going to Fashion Week. Who's going to eat the sausage?"

When they played a mishmash of Ricky's teary-eyed moments, he looked understandably miffed. There was a collection of Kevin's "almost gay" moments as well as a collage of Chris's infectious laugh.

Of course, there was a best-of Christian montage, which proved he deserved to win the Fan Favorite Contest. Michael Knight came out and presented him with a check for $10.000. *Snap*. So fierce! Nina Garcia reveals in her Bravo TV blog that she's surprisingly a Christian fan as well:

"At 21, he has all the energy, determination, and fearlessness that one should have when you feel you are the center of the universe. He is really an "enfant terrible" and his personality is even more exaggerated by the fact he works along such serious types as Rami and Jillian, who seldom lose their cool."


My favorite bit of the show was the "Diva Name" montage in which the designers revealed their would-be wrestling names. This was touched on in a previous episode, but made into a fun segment for the reunion show.

Designers' DIVA NAMES:

Christian: Forocia Coutura
Signature Move: hairspray in the eyes and ponytail so tight it would make girls' eyes bleed

Sweet P: Spread Eagle
Signature Move: Crush people with her thighs

Rami: Ramilicious
Signature Move: Draping people to the ground, of course!

Chris: Wonder Woman
Signature Move: Smothering people with his large breasts

Jillian: Tuffie
Signature Move: Pirouette kicks in the face

Ricky: The Mexican Jumping Bean
Signature Move: Little twirl with a kick


Later, Tim revealed his diva name would be "Polly Syllabicus" and Nina Garcia's would be "Meana Garzilla." Unfortunately, not much was said by sweet Marion, or by the girl who was "awffed" first (see, I can't even remember her name!) All in all it was a good time, however, and I'm looking forward to the finale!
