That's right, yours truly are among the 900 or so other rabid Project Runway fans in attendance at today's final runway show for the remaining contestants. I'm breathing the same air as Heidi Klum! I may get close enough to Nina Garcia to stuff her in my sleeve and take her home with me! And I may even be able to see the clothes from my seat, which will doubtless be at least three blocks away.
UPDATED: Here's the whole liveblog (it goes bottom to top ... no, that's not a euphemism) and a few of my wretched pics. Did I say wretched? I meant "endearingly amateur". Hell, I was juggling my texting, cameraphone, digital camera and iPod, so cut me some fracking slack. I was like Roy Cohn in Angels in America with his damn phone.
Anyway, highlights: Christian's fetish foxhunt, Rami's phlegmball, Posh Spice.
Enjoy!

Are you going to reveal who
They fudge it
ah alright. I just didn't
Decoy collections
I'm so jealous...
A Request For Brian
Oh No!
Feel free to lay a smackdown on anyone that gives you shade up in that place (including that baby).
Let us know if you see
CelestiaElisa come floating in on a hovercraft shouting like one of the aliens in Mars Attacks!Don't Make Me Call Dan Mathews
That better be fake fur on Malan's coat. Don't make me take the Acela down with a bucket of red paint - I could be there before the shows over!
Images of Suzanne Sugarbaker being knocked off the runway and rotting with her broken arm in that festering fur coat she was trapped in on Designing Women... good times.
Brian, what did you think of
She smelled of peaches and money
NEIGHBORS!
Hey, you!
That's hilarious! Love the pic with Kit Pistol, btw. I was so ticked that she got auf'd - she and Kevin had a real sense of youth and street style that I think today's show could have used more of (Sweet Pea's was the most whimsical, most of the others were gorgeous but a bit severe and some were downright stiff).
I had a great time! Sorry I elbowed you in line, hope it didn't bruise. And that lady on the other side of me got heated when you left, eh? Eek!
What did you think? I'll zoom over to your site to find out!
Oh Look!
Oh look, it's Bi-tch-anca of Top Model in a hideous simple blue halter one-piece. I like the print though. XD
Do I just hate her or her arms are longer than her leg? hahha. I'm so mean, I love it.
Christian's fieeeerrrcccceeee! His collection is on fiyah!
