Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You got your wish!

I think it's fun that the straight guy won the drag challenge. Also, I loved a bunch of those garments! And so many of the drag queens! Who's more fun than Varla Jean?

That was just good fun.

I actually didn't hate Jerrell's outfit. I liked the collar, but I can see that it was a little boring

Loved Kato's look. The flames bursting from the shoulder were great. It was also nice that Sweetie loved it so much.

Damn! Terri got second place again! she really designs some great stuff. It was very drag.

Daniel's dress was BORING at best, ugly at worst. He doesn't know how to fit his aesthetic to the challenge. And he gets really bitchy when he is criticized. I don't know he would be worried about getting eliminated, because his taste is impeccable. @@

Stella, once again solidly in the middle.

Keith's dress was a mess, I could have made it. And seeing as how I'm proud to sew on a button, that's saying something.

I don't like Joe, but the outfit was totally cute. And Varla SOLD IT with the little hop at the end. (BTW, Varla's alter ego is kinda cute)

Keith's dress was really the only bad-bad one, I thought. Boring didn't hit the challenge, but at least they were reasonable outfits.

Because books.

Keith totally needs to stop with the fluttering scraps of fabric already.

I agree about the others. They were really almost all *fun* and even Jerrell's had a sense of play about it, even if it didn't quite work. Daniel's, on the other hand, looked nothing like a drag dress. I could see that hanging in Saks, you know?

well, drag isn't tasteful.

Shear Genius: NOOOOOOO!!!!! Damn, that sucks hard.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Jerrell's outfit actually perfectly suited his client. But his client was the rarity that is an understated drag queen.

Daniel's, on the other hand, looked nothing like a drag dress. I could see that hanging in Saks, you know?

I actually thought it was his best work of the season. Of course, I've hated most of his work this season, so there's that. On the whole, glad to see him gone.

I agree. It's probably the best dress he's done since the cups dress. But, it still didn't fit the challenge.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That was an awesomely fun Project Runway. I loved how much fun some of the drag queens had with their outfits.
