GUZA'S GONE WUB!

Check out my last Guza-inspired WUB!!  It's been a long ride. His WUB of Brender and Jax started it all back in the late '90's. Who knows if I'll be able to write another while he's off into the sunset.
I'll miss his use of bar ware, the bullets, the booms and the way he writes for "the ladies"!! Hit the link and enjoy! Let me know if you liked it!

Season 8: Project Runway: Cried Like a Baby, Yes I Did.

I will from time to time, write about my fave primetime shows...and after last night's Project Runway I just HAD to get on here and dish.
OY... if you saw it, you know what I'm talking about. First of all, this season has been pretty good, mostly due to the expanded time. I love that we get to see more of the comments backstage after the judges' critique. It's been too fun. Tim Gunn gets more of a voice too. I remember way back in the beginning that he was just in and out of the work room.  Now? He's got a bond with them all and I really like seeing his advice in action.
Last night was the episode before the finale. Each of the 4 designers had to go home, make a collection, come back and show 3 pieces to see which of the would go to Fashion Week. Tim visited every designer. Mondo lived in a wild house, painted all crazy colors. Gretchen broke up with her boyfriend and was moving. In Hawaii, he met with Andy and his mom. They live on quite a rural farm. Andy even chopped off the top of a coconut for some fresh milk. Over at Michael C's house, there was his partner and son. We find out that Michael's parents aren't too happy with  his career or "lifestyle" choice. 
Back in NYC, everyone gathers for their last touch-ups on the collections. Tim tells them all they have to make another look to send down the runway. Everyone loses it and goes to Mood to find some material. Gretchen is in fine pout-face form and complains about everything. She made jewelry this go around--which  er... well, didn't do much for me. Andy had some sort of head things going on and Mondo also did a little head poof.  His theme was "Mexican circus"... his clothes were about the most jolly in the room. 
I have to say that is season has been lackluster as far as having some wild designs on. Very conservative if you ask me.  Yeah, Mondo had some weird things but there were no Santino, Austin Scarlet, Jeffery or Chris type costuming. I like the over the top stuff. These creations just left me flat.
Speaking of flat, how awful were Gretchen's things? Ewww. Anyone that knows "Flax" or "Eileen Fisher" has seen it all--and about 4 seasons ago. I personally thought she was gone. Oh, how wrong I was. 
Andy came out with a "Laos" inspired line-- and  his pleating did look nice. Again..underwhelming. Mondo had the usual weird patterns and colors. Michael C had his dresses--but a pantsuit that I really liked. The judges took off points because he used all the 'same colors'. Personally, I thought it looked pretty cohesive. But, who am I?
In the end, Michael C was sent packing and watching him go was so sad. He was truly, truly destroyed by not going on. Because of his parents being so anti-anything he does, Michael saw this as a rejection of him instead of his clothes. It didn't seem fake (like some breakdowns can) at all. It was really gut-wrenching. Tim hugged him and all the designers were supportive.
Which brings me to something else: Since when do Andy and  Gretchen like Michael C? What happened? Gretchen was a big nasty to him all season and Andy didn't like him either. Mondo saw what a sweetie he really was and treated him like a human being. I so hope they address this at the reunion special--and call out beeatches like IVY !! They all owe him such a big apology. 
So...next week is the finale--a reunion and the runway show. I am thinking that Mondo takes it. He's won so many competitions and has that quirky kind of "Christian Siriano" thing going for him. I mean, who won last season? (crickets chirping)
I have no clue.
Soooo, did YOU cry when Michael C did? Do you think he should have gone to Fashion Week? Is it me or is Heidi getting more mean every season? By the way, I still totally forget it's on "Lifetime" and not BRAVO. whoops. 


PS. I also watched "Jersey Shore" Finale last night. In a really weird way, I'm gonna miss those weenies.   :fist pump:

Wubbly Bubbly: POP Culture Stuff

Oh, so much to write about and not litter up the GH posts! So...here goes the first "Wubbly Bubbly"!! I am taking a poll to see if you'd like this kept on the Wub Tub Blog site or if I should make a whole 'nother blog for it. Let me know in the comments!!

First shock of today?? Omarosa is dating Michael Scott Duncan?? What the hell? Didn't he get enough punishment in The Green Mile?? WHAT!! I'm still not over this one yet.

New TV shows and returning faves are all over the airwaves. Makes me happy on the one hand, and on the other, I love the summer where I only watch 1-3 shows a week. Now, the DVR is on...I'm trying to watch 2 at once...it's all over the place. "Modern Family" was great..loved the bit with the car. People on twitter seem to be sick of Manny's Mom (Sofia Vergara)..but she really IS from Columbia and I loves her. Her Mom can be Charro! Cootchi, Cootchi! The only new show I watched was "Outsourced" last night after The Office. Eh...didn't dig it. The Office was SO FUN though--the opening song?? CLASSIC!! My faves were Meredith's belly --and also Creed. He was SO CREED!! I know I'm enjoying myself when I smile and don't even realize I'm doing it.

Hope you read my Man Men recap from Sunday on Pop Confidential. Sally (Kiernan Shipka) is my new fave TV character of all time. Plus, I totally had her haircut back then. She IS a tad older than myself however, so don't think I'm that ancient. I was still a cherub in '64!! I  remember Patty and Lisa from my old neighborhood having dresses like these though. Short, bright and fun! She's going to be a handful, and I so hope it goes into her teen years and she runs off to San Fran for the Summer of LOVE!!

Last night's Project Runway Didn't disappoint...my biggest beef is that stupid GRETCHEN  got in the top 3. I mean, please...FUG-Tastic dress. I sometimes wonder how they call one thing "dowdy" one week, and "Glam" the next. Does it seem like the show is a total commercial for L'oreal lately?? I do love that it's 30 minutes longer, and we get to see the backstage dish!

LaLohan-- hmmmmmmm. Tragic, I still say that...although that's why she should have had to stay in rehab the FULL 90 days. WTH!  *sigh* It's not like she's Paris-- who doesn't have talent. She just wasted herself and her talent. She's in jail now until October 22nd.  And her father needs to Shut UP. Did you see him out there with that minister yelling after she was taken away? Good Gravy...

What are you watching? Any good NEW shows out there? I started watching Biggest Loser again, but I'm not sure I'll last. Two hours is too long I think. Plus, they are so the same every season.  That's one reason I stopped watching Top Chef. I'll see how the Amazing Race goes, but I HATE that it's always late because of football. You can't DVR it properly. Dang it. I don't watch Survivor. Gave that up years ago.  I guess I have to admit to watching Teen Mom and Jersey Shore on MTV. I'm just fascinated by the Shore kids... and am so glad no cameras/shows were around when I was that age!! Heh. I think they need to track them into old age and see the tanning/alcohol damage in 30 years!


Hope you enjoyed the Wubbly Bubbly!! Let me know if you're going to go see any new movies this weekend!! I want to see Get Him To the Greek on DVD.
