UPDATE: The full rundown and oodles of pics (all courtesy of Getty Images) can be found after the jump!

But here are a few juicy tids that didn't make the liveblog:

* Though my boyfriend hated my choice of shirts, Ronnie Kroell from Make Me a Supermodel actually complimented me on it. And he's, like, fashiony and stuff!
* Cheyenne Jackson was sitting with Bravo bigwig Andy Cohen.
* In his intro Jerell made a joke announcement to the crowd about someone being parked in the Red Zone.
* Jennifer Lopez "hurt her foot"? Puh-LEEEEZE...

That's right, folks: I've managed to locate pants and make it out of the house before noon in order to report to you LIVE! from the Project Runway final fashion show at Bryant Park.

I'll be updating this very here post as the outfits from the remaining 4,376 designers come spilling down the runway, and will add my own overcaffeinated, utterly uneducated views on which competitor will take the prize. (Although, if you remember, I did call Christian to win at last year's show. So, you know ... that happened.)
