From Tim's Take:
The Project Runway “collection rules” forbid the use of fur, so this was Chris’s alternative.
this is good to know

Also from Tim's Take:
They probed and interrogated Rami and Chris until I thought both would collapse from stress and fatigue. And there was one moment -- I remember if vividly -- when I said to myself, “Chris is out.” He and Rami were each asked, “Who’s your customer?” Rami answered clearly, articulately, and believably. Chris responded, “I don’t know.” That was it for me. Over. His inability to know who his customer is underscored the fact that he’s really a costume designer, not a fashion designer.

From Tim:
So I left Rami after posing a lot of questions about his designs, his textiles, his color choices, and his intentions. Pausing at the door to his studio and looking back at his collection thus far, I said, “I can see Joan in your work, but it’s Crawford, not d’Arc.”
Ooh, zing!

I just read reports that Robert Irvine of Dinner Impossible lied about his resume and has been let go from the Food Network. link This makes me sad.

Okay reality tv peoples, can someone explain the Bad Girl's Club to me?? I keep flipping by it and getting sucked in but I don't understand the point of it. Is it a competition???
Or...is that one reality show too far for everyone else?

I read that about Robert Irvine too. Why do people do that? Wasn't his resume impressive enough as it was?

I had wondered why TWOP's Dinner Impossible thread was so active. Somebody linked to this article back on the 18th of February. And they also put up the resume in question.
And Michael Ruhlman and Tony Bourdain nominated him for a "Golden Clog" award:

The fact that Bourdain is nominated for a chump award on his own made-up award list is a nice illustration of why he is AWESOME.
