It's not like you're doing anything else with your life.

That may have been my favorite Project Runway finale EVER. I loved all of the finalists, I loved the collections like crazy, I even loved the goddamn winner.

BIDDELL!

\o/

And you know, I could give him shit for whipping the damn collection together at the last minute, but that collection was faaaaabulous. I adored every piece in it, particularly that black coat with the zipper which I would probably sell my right arm to have even though I have absolutely nowhere to wear it. Oh, and that buckskin coat, homiGOD. I loved that he was inspired from Saturday morning cartoons, not the crappy ones that they have now but the real good shit from the '80s and '90s, and how it was totally some ass-kicking chick brigade. I love that he's an ass, I love that for all that he was THE ass, he was still a nice guy underneath it all. I love that Lucian burst into tears on the runway and the one who came over to hug him was freaking BIDDELL. I loved all the pictures of wee fat Biddell, and ... and ... *flails*

I mean, I love Lucian to pieces, but BIDDELL. Oh, man, that was awesome.

And Lucian! Um, I may have cried when he cried. He was just so great, because he did amazing work and put tons of effort into it and focused on his work, and the fact that he managed to make Rita CRY meant so much to him. Oh, and I may have wanted him to jump the blonde curly-haired guy in the front row at the fashion show.

... what? This is what Lucian does to me, okay? Biddell, Stephen, Nick Verreos, people passing him on the street, trees, mailboxes, I DON'T CARE. The man has sexual chemistry with everything.

MG! Oh, wee MG. I love you and your adorable dorky glasses and I could listen to you talk in that accent FOREVER. And the judges may have dumped on your collection a bit but I liked it just the way it was. (Then again, I'm a sucker for purple clothes, so ... *grabbyhands*)

Seriously, guys, if you're into Project Runway at all you should totally download this season of Project Runway Canada. That was a great ride. It might be blasphemy, but it might even be my favorite PR season ever.

Yeah, I said it. I LOVE YOU, TIM GUNN.

Haaa, sorry, I'm just wandering through at the moment, but the blonde curly-haired guy? Kalan Porter, a Canadian Idol winner. Yeah, he's pretty luscious-- but he got worryingly skinny the last couple years (my sister and I have had him on Death Watch ever since).

Yeah. PR Canada was amaaaaaazing. And I'm so glad Biddell won, even though I was like... not REALLY fair, they put SO much work into theirs, but... his collection was SO GOOD.

Heh. I had no idea who he was, but I took one look at him and was like, "Ha, he'd totally bottom." *giggles*

I let Biddell slide on how much of his collection he did at the last minute because he's always been a bit unconventional about how and when he got his shit done, and besides, I really don't think they were making a big enough deal about the fact that the guy appeared to be homeless from the day he started the show to the day he won. He said in the pilot he got kicked out of his place, and when Brian went to visit him during his time off his situation was a VAST contrast to Lucian's pretty little house and MG's loft. I can't imagine how stressful it's got to be trying to get a collection made with a decided lack of equipment while trying to find yourself someplace to live. Seriously, it was probably more relaxing at that point for him to wait until he got back to Toronto.

Oh, I totally agree with you. I mean, I'm of two minds regarding Biddell- on the one hand, I'm like, "stop being belligerent and get your ass together!" but on the other... he's just very earnest and squishy and I want him to to succeed so bad. He's got vision up the wazoo and, honestly, I feel for him. I lived on the prairies as a child, and it's not what you'd call a creatively stimulating or welcoming environment for someone like him-- which is completely opposite to Lucien and MG's lives. Their situations are completely different. And omg his clothes are amazing. So, yeah.

Ohhhhh, Kalan Porter *headshake*. There's been a lot of spec about his sexuality, but there's been nothing definitive. If you can dig up any vids of him from Canadian Idol.... he was really good. Or at least I thought so. "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Nature Boy", especially.

I think I coveted Biddell's collection more than I've coveted any collection since Jay's during the first season of PR. It was gorgeous, and I loved his inspiration.

And now I'm rewatching because I'm going to see if I can get my brother to watch today -- he already sat through a marathon of one season of PR, although mostly because he was too lazy to change the channel, and I think he'd like Biddell -- and I really wish I knew how to edit clips together because really, it's like the Big Gay Love Story of Lucian and Biddell.

"I hate you!"
"I hate you!"
"Lucian's clothes are overdesigned!"
"Yeah, well, Biddell's a smug little punk!"
"Let's make out!"
"Okay!"

I swear to God, ninety percent of their talking-heads are about EACH OTHER. Hahahah. Even the editors were slashing them. :)

It's so true. Oh, boys.
