Project Runway: Christian Siriano Cheered - Cheers & Jeers

Christian by Barbara Nitke/Bravo Photo

Cheers to Project Runway for picking the right winner. I was lucky enough to be one of the 2,000 people under the Bryant Park tent for the Fashion Week show — didn't you see me in the crowd shots? Yeah, me neither — and he blew the lid off the joint. The cocky 22-year-old upstart (who showed a surprising vulnerability in the finale) was far from my favorite Runway personality. But you needn't be Posh Spice to know his collection was easily the most striking and focused. It was, in a word, fierce.

What a joke. Not as bad as last year's winner, but still a joke.

Why a joke? I thought they picked the right winners last year (Jeffrey) and in Season 1 (Jay), too. Chloe, not so much.

While I was rooting for Jillian, I'm not unhappy that Christian won. He is obviously amazingly talented. And in the finale, his displays of emotion reminded I wish we could have seen Chris's entire collection. The 3 outfits we saw last week were really striking, even though the human hair did creep me out a bit.

Actually, Chris and Sweet P both showed their collections at the Fashion Week event (because it took place before the episodes in which they got kicked off had aired). While Chris was one of my favorite people this season, along with Jillian, the rest of his line was a lot like the three pieces seen on the show. And though I hadn't been a Sweet P fan during the season, I liked her collection second-best, after Christian's.

Well, since Chris didn't make the finals, I'm glad Christian won. And he was so cute when he started crying even before Heidi told him he won.

So long Rami did not win, I am okay with the result.

Jeffrey most definitely should NOT have won last year. Otherwise, I'm cool with all of the other past winners.

You know what? Self-respecting people can officially take "fierce" out of their vocabulary. Its not a catch-phrase, its a cliche. Enough for Gods sake.

Pish posh. Have a little fun. You don't like it but don't rain on my parade.
