Moving? • 18 June 2013

It might be premature, but I believe I will be moving to a bigger place just one town away in a couple of weeks.  I'm concerned that the PR blogging will be affected.  I don't know what Internet set up I will have upon moving.  So, here's to hoping that nothing is missed and that I will be able to pre-blog and blog on time.

I've given up working on Vlogging until I am reasonably set up in the new place.  No, I haven't, but I think it is wise not to get too stressed over it.

I have a question.  Why does John Taffer have to refer to his Point Of Sale system as his POS system?  That just ain't right.  How would you like to SELL a POS system for your livelihood?

Ce n'est pas bon!

PR News!

Yesterday I learned that Alyssa Milano has been named the season three host of Project Runway All-Stars.  No, Judith Light, Tony Danza, Danny Pintauro and Katherine Helmond were not listed as guest judges.

I can almost guarantee that Ms. Milano will NOT be as robotic and monotone as her predecessors.

Have you voted for a past contestant to return and compete in season twelve of Project Runway?  Will the two that don't win get put on All-Stars?  Will they finally bring Maya back?  How about Carol Hannah?  Elena?  Allison?

So much to learn.  So much to hope for.

Too bad they can't take Calvin or Rico from the 2 seasons of The Fashion Show.

Top Chef Canada s3e9 • Chefs On Safari • 13 May 2013

Bear with me.  I've been locked up in a hospital with all kinds of tubes and wires surgically attached to me for most of the year.  I just could not let this one pass without a snide comment.

Did her parents not THINK of the things people would DO to her name?  It would have been better if she had been named "__________."   Yes.  A big blank.  So, say it with me, the remaining six contestants must be thinking, you CAN fight (and beat) city hall.

Do you have a favorite from the remaining contestants?   I think this one is yummy:

 Yeah, I know, like a ruler.

Five wins as of e9, and I saw he won e10 ... he could be the winner, right?

He could be the one.

I'm free!

No, I'm not that kind of free.

I'm out of the hospital, woo-hoo!  I was released May 23rd.  Yes, April 12-May 23, plus some other days in February and March, and that's quite enough, thank you.  I've met my quota for the year decade, don't you think?  Here's to hoping that that's it for a long, long time.

I'm appropriating Nancy Jackson's late 1990s hit as my theme song.

If I only had the time ...

I've spent much of 2013 in the hospital.  I see some doctors tomorrow who will make a determination as to whether I can go home (the following day.)  It's too early to tell, but I would *guess* that they will grant permission for me to leave & go home.

Because I don't have enough to worry about, I started planning out my potential future schedule.  Then, I reflected back on the last few months.  Wrong move!   I've hardly done anything but watch Top Chef from start to the current episode.  Yes, I've paid bills, corresponded with friends, (barely) read the Bible, but most of the time I've been drooling.  Over what?

It wasn't the food.

Yes, I still have the gift of falling for married straight men with children.  Now if only I could figure out a decent use for said 'gift.'  I mean, when was the last time THAT skill was needed?

Well, at least he isn't looking at ME anymore.

Don't be so sure, Wayne.  One never forgets his first love — or his 853rd — even if the years of wedded bless were completely imaginary.

PR All-Stars season 3?  Will it happen?

Did you see this online voting opportunity?  (Forgive my lateness to the subject, but, hey, I'm still in the hospital, cut me some slack.   Better still, send flowers and balloon bouquets!  Okay, tens and twenties will suffice.)

Well, I guess that answers my question as to whether PRASs3 will come around.   =o(

Do you vote for toilet dresses and bowling ball looks?  Do you vote for zipper dresses and napkin outfits?  Do you vote for old school prom dresses and ... old school prom dresses?

But, then, a more urgent question comes to the forefront.

Where is Shirin Askari?

C'mon, B/M, we want more Shirin!

RPDR s5e14 • Reunited • 6 May 2013

Last time on RuPaul's Drag Race Ru took us down memory lane.  We didn't learn all that much, except that the race was too close to call.  Uh-huh.  Sure.

Oh, who am I kidding.  I don't care about that,

I can tell I am going to LOVE this episode.

Lots of Manila sightings.

Woo-hoo!

It's a live reunion show, taped last week!  How do we know this?  All the spoilers regarding Detox's amazing look, which did NOT get all that much airing on the show.  Why is that?  Last week I thought this was amazing enough to get its own post.

He just don't recognize talent when he see it.

Usually that is sour grapes, but I'm almost buying it this time, Ms. Icunt.

Ru mini-interviews this season's contestants in the order they were eliminated.  Interestingly, when Ru asks what challenge they missed (by already being eliminated) that they might have shined on, they PROVE it, whether it is reading, acting in a telenovela, or impersonation for The Snatch Game.

Real highlights:  Ru has to school Lineysha Sparx, since she DOESN'T KNOW WHO DIANA ROSS IS.  This leads to a short lesson on gay icons.

Learn it, little boys.

We get a montage of the worst looks ever to rock the runway.  Santino maintains that Alyssa's outfit was still the worst, because she BROUGHT IT WITH HER, she didn't have to make it on the spot out of dubious materials, like the others did.

Detox does get a shout out for her work with Willam and Vicky Vox.  All I am saying is that VV better be on season six, or I will be quite upset.  I have no idea whether SHE wants to be on RPDR or not, but that's beside the point.

Ivy Winters won the title of Miss Congeniality.

Yeah, that's right.  And we got to see Latrice encore fois, merci Seigneur!

When the top three are interviewed Roxxxy seems to be in full damage control mode.  I guess that's better than PhiPhi's state of delusion last year, huh?

And, suddenly, we get to the end of the show and the winner is:

Congratulations, Jinkx!

Was there ever a doubt that she would win?

Why, yes there was.  Nina Flowers and Raven.  I rest my case.

At least we got to see a lot of Manila.  Manila is the point of it all.  C'est ça et c'est tout.
