Project Runway's Dragtastic Chris March

If you've been watching Project Runway this season, chances are you're a fan of Chris March. He may not be a front-runner to win, but the NYC costume designer's sweet nature and winning personality have made him an audience favorite. (The occasional f*g joke notwithstanding.) Chris was actually voted offof PR early on, but the producers brought him back when Jack Mackenroth fell ill and had to drop out.

Chris has described his work as a costume designer as "over the top," but we didn't know just how over the top until this last episode when we got a look at his portfolio and hilarious pics of Chris himself made up as Wonder Woman, Princess Leia, Queen Elizabeth and a host of other "power women."

More pics of the dragtastic Chris March appear after the break as well as a 1997 video of him doing his best drunken Louella Parsons impression. Enjoy!

    Chris' bio

    When he was first introduced to PR audiences, a couple glimpses of Beach Blanket Babylon could be spotted. (If you're not familiar with Beach Blanket Babylon, it's a long-running show in San Fran with outrageous costumes that includes huge hats... really huge.) That made me a fan of Chris from the beginning.

    Frida Kahlo not Carmen Miranda

    The last pic Chris is dressed up as Mexican arist Frida Kahlo, not Carmen Miranda. The unibrow is how you can make the distinction ... and the skulls he is wearing instead of fruit.

    Nice catch!

    Thanks, and post corrected.

    I hope he makes it

    I hope he makes it to Bryant Park. I want to see what sort of wigs he sends his models down the runway in... or if he just goes all out dragtastic with his collection.
