Sorry I’ve been lagging on posts lately. I’ve had a lot going on between launching my website and prepping for the DNC. I’ll get back into the swing of things soon enough.

I’ll post tomorrow. That is all.

Yeah, I know, I didn’t post anything last week. Get over it, mass of followers. None of you exist.

I’m going to say what we’re all thinking: Project Runway contestants are stupid. Why the fuck do they get upset when other contestants, for one reason or another, voluntarily leave? YOU ARE ON A COMPETITION SHOW. Do you think Katniss would have been upset if Cato killed himself? No. Why? Because only one person can win The Hunger Games. The Runway Games are exactly the same. The more contestants that drop out, the easier it is for the rest of them to win.

Okay, so the old lady (I’m not ageist…I just don’t know anybody’s name) on the show who probably should have been eliminated last week for what she did to Anya’s Emmy dress. She even said in the waiting room that she’d be cool if she left. SO THEN FUCKING LEAVE. Instead, Heidi spared the only lesbian in the history of the show and auffed her partner, some guy with weird hair (specific, I know, but it’s like a widow’s peak that goes down to his nose).

So this old chick who also should have been kicked off in the candy challenge leaves in the middle of the night then sends Tim Gunn an e-mail the next day. Everyone is stunned.

…which brings me to the next fallen tribute in the 10th Annual Runway Games, the Real Life Anime Character from an earlier post.

Apparently, his name is Kooan. After getting the assignment, drawing a design, and buying shit from Mood, he then announces that he’s been thinking about leaving for THREE DAYS (that’s like a challenge and a half) and bows. out. ANOTHER guy (who’s name I haven’t bothered to look up, because I’m pretty sure he hasn’t been in the top or bottom three yet, so he’s yet to make an impression) makes a tearful speech about how he wants to go, too, but he ends up not going for some reason.

So that’s two designers gone.

They bring back widow’s peak guy who I guess hasn’t flown back to CostaGuaraMexiRico yet (Will & Grace. Anyone? Anyone?)

So this is a photo of this week’s winner, Sonjia, in Mood when Tim Gunn told the designers they only had two minutes left.

So, Fred Weasley knocked it out of the park again, and I wouldn’t have been upset if he won, but Sonjia’s dark grey dress was so beautiful, she was the rightful winner. Buffi Gaga’s dress, on the other hand, was poorly tailored, especially at the hem, but it was a matter of the judges’ personal tastes that got her eliminated.

If you want to actually see these dresses I’m talking about, go fuck yourself and watch the goddamn show yourself.

And until I actually build up a readership, I won’t feel bad about cursing at you. I still will, but I might start to feel a little bad about being rude.

Whatever, here’s a Tim Gunn quote to sign off: “I have to send you to the workroom to clean up your space.”

This is a very special edition of Haumo Couture. Instead of a Project Runway recap (although George Weasley DID call Fred his “evil twin,” which I thought was hysterical) or a critique on a designer or fashionista, I’ll be live tweeting the Olympic Opening Ceremonies tonight. Follow me @santimh for the best snark on the internet tonight. During the Parade of Nations, each country’s athletes will be dressed in uniforms that reflect their style and culture, and I’ll rip them all to shreds. I’m sure some of them will be good, though.

Again, that’s @santimh

I’m going to say what we’re all thinking: the 10th season premiere of PR was absolutely trag (as in “tragic”…pronounced “tradge”). Let’s run through the PR contestant archetypes. There are 2 identical twinky boys that hate each other (Henceforth referred to as the Weasley twins), 3 people that can’t speak English, a real life Anime character who designs for a Bjork/Katy Perry love baby, the token old lady, the gothic princess (who I actually really like), the alternative chick with personal style so outrageous you can’t help but question her taste as a designer (also, SHE LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE LADY GAGA…minus the accent. But the nose is SPOT ON), and a woman who can’t sew a dress any faster than 4 days. Bitch, do you really think you’ll make it 2 rounds!? Well, she didn’t make it past the first round. Maybe because she can’t sew.

Well, it turns out Fred (or George…I can’t tell which yet…whoever gets aufed first will be Fred) won the challenge with a dress he admittedly didn’t realize he made flow like a sail in the breeze. Really, it was beautiful, but a total accident.

After the elimination, Tim Gunn did his best to pretend to give a shit about the first designer to get aufed, but I can’t for the life of me remember her name, and I think it’s for the best.

Of COURSE, they kept the real life anime character (look…just because he’s fresh from Japan DOES NOT mean I’m trying to stereotype…he straight up looks like the live action incarnation of an anime character). His designs were laughable at best. At worst, they were the Sarah Palin of fashion. It would be too insulting to rompers to refer to them as rompers. Here’s a lovely visual for you: imagine if Bjork miscarried and the fetus brutally murdered and taxidermied a female background dancer at a Katy Perry concert. Now imagine a six-year-old with a hot glue gun made overalls out of some Legos and the remains of the background dancer. However, they did show a couple of brief flashes of some of his menswear, which I admittedly liked. If he stays on another week or so, I might actually do some research you and treat you to a review.

They obviously kept this guy on for ratings. If they legitimately think he can win, I want whatever Heidi Klum is smoking.

Well, that was a lot more on Project Runway than I was expecting.

So, onto the Olympic uniforms. They’re basically what I was expecting from the design for this year. It’s very true to American sportswear. The looks are layered and military inspired. The colors are white, red, and navy blue. Men wear crisp white pants, white shoes with red soles (Calm the fuck down, Ralph Lauren. You’re not Christian Louboutin), double-breasted navy sports coats, red, white, and blue ties, bright white shirts, and hats that are kind of like berets, but without the fabulous pretentiousness of tilting them to the side. The women are dressed the same, but with a knee-length skirt instead of pants, a single-breasted jacket instead of double, and a scarf instead of a tie.

I kind of like them. They’re very conservative, but the Olympics opening ceremony isn’t about making an avaunt-garde statement, It’s about representing the culture of your country, and this country is annoyingly conservative. But you know what? I think this will impress. The white pants and skirts are so crisp and bright, they’ll stand out in the crowd. The jackets, ties, and scarves will send the message that America doesn’t fuck around, and Michael Phelps is here to win ALL THE GOLD METALS. Also, he’ll probably poorly host SNL again and get caught smoking pot. AAAAND, some of us are still bitter that underage Chinese gymnasts stole the gold metal from our Nastia Liukin in the uneven bars. All in all, the uniforms will send the message of “don’t fuck with us.” Let’s just see how they look in person.

Oh, and there was a big controversy because our uniforms were made in China…I don;t care. I think people are missing the point.

So I’m going to wrap up now. I’ll have a response from Del Marquis soon enough (still wish I could have met him in person, but oh well). Then, I’ll ask follow-up questions, if necessary, and craft a post out of it…hopefully by next Friday.

Until next time, “Make it werq!”

Tonight is the premiere of Season 10 of Project Runway. As such, I decided to change the day I post to Fridays, that way, I can devote part of the post to commenting on the previous night’s episode. Check back tomorrow for a post about Heidi Klum and the Olympic uniforms.

…I SWEAR the Del Marquis interview is coming soon. My internet has been down for a day and a half, but I got an e-mail from Del, and the interview will be up. Soon. Unfortunately, he can’t meet in person, so it’ll be a Q&A via e-mail. Stay tuned….

This week’s post will be delayed. I know, I know! All two of you are severely disappointed, but since this is merely a hobby for me, I frankly don’t care.

HOWEVER, I have great news. After a few tweets back and forth, Del Marquis agreed to an interview with me. We’re currently working out when the interview will take place, but since they’re about to start the UK leg of their tour after their shows in New York this weekend, I’m thinking it’ll be really soon. Or in November when they’re back. If it’s within the next few days, I’ll post the interview and photos ASAP. If it’s not until November, then I will spiral into a deep depression for having to wait to meet Del, and I’ll just do a post about something else next Wednesday.

Del, if you’re reading this…I feel like you have more important things you should be doing, but thank you for visiting my podunk little blog and agreeing to an interview! I’ll try to get you more exposure and submit it to Huffington Post Style.

Until next time, “You have an hour to send your models to the Garnier Hair Salon and the Loreal Paris Makeup Room.”

Yes, this post is about the lead guitarist for the Scissor Sisters. I referenced him in my first post about Qasimi. I’ve been enthralled with his style for a while now. I thought this would be a good time to talk about him, since I’m going to see the Scissor Sisters this Monday in DC. I’m really excited, and it gave me an excuse to Google him for the past half hour.

To you all, you’re probably reading this paragraph a second after finishing the first one. However, I just realized I haven’t written anything for the past 20 minutes, because I’ve been watching Scissor Sisters music videos. Back to work now….

So, Del has a unique style. It’s kind of a modernized take on disco fashion. Many of his looks include high-waited pants, suspenders, and tailored, fitted shirts (rolled up to his elbows), as seen in the photos below:

Another common theme in his looks is shown in the photos below. He’ll often wear tight pants with a jacket. Instead of a shirt, he’ll wear either jewelry or a scarf.

I think that last one is my favorite outfit. ^

This man is too adorable for words.

Del has a strong, sexy glam rock look. He is a great compliment to front man Jake Shear’s campier (read: nuder) style (which totally works for him). Del’s style is fabulous and dominant, the perfect look for the guitarist of a gay (read: super gay) rock band.

The second I figure out where he got that outfit from the “Any Which Way” music video (as seen in the next to last photo), I’m buying it. I’d absolutely dress like him if I had the means (read: money).

I have no Tim Gunn quote today. But here’s some Scissor Sisters lyrics: “Let’s have a kiki! I wanna have a kiki. Lock the doors tight!” See you next week, Scissor Sisters!

No post this week. Out of town. Please enjoy this photo of Ryan Gosling. BYEEE!!!
