Chloe moley

So, as those of you who care already know, Chloe, in a Crash-like upset, was the winner of Project Runway. The similarities to the Oscar outcome are eerie. A dark horse winner with a story of racial prejudice hijacks the show from an alternate lifestyle duo.

I would blame the casting couch, but she doesn't seem like that type of girl.



Or maybe I should blame the couch after all, since that's what her collection looked like.



Santino called it first.

FourFour's short and sweet reaction to the winner announcement said best.

As long as it wasn't Daniel is right. I think the figure 8 purse that that smug little mofo was so proud of says it all for me.



My favorite part of the finale was when Daniel gave Tim his panicked announcement that the hideous handbags had gone missing pre-show. I burst out laughing when Tim gave this Yoda-like reaction.

And, of course, there's no one like the awe-inspiring FourFour to send season two off with the best sound clips and sound-minded quips. Here is his farewell post.

Oh, Santino. You didn't need Klum, Messing, Garcia and Kors to know you're a winner. Like the Tinman of Oz fame, you had it inside you all along.

What a great analogy. By the way, how do you know that Santino might be gay?

Thanks, Andrew. I was kinda proud of that one. I'd even thought of one other parallel, but couldn't remember it when it came time to put finger to keyboard.

Here's the link where I got the skinny on Santino's sexual preferences (an interview with Santino by one of the Project Runway producers:

This is the excerpt in question:

Andy: OK - ONE MORE...ARE YOU INTO BOYS OR GIRLS?

Santino: "Dude, I've answered this before and this is what's f----d up about this. Everybody thinks that people who say they're bi are making excuses or skating around saying they're gay. I don't really care. I think being gay is so important. Anyone who is gay is blessed on this earth if they take into account the positives and negatives of the situation. It's a beautiful world... The bottom line for me is: when it's right it's right. It's like apples and oranges. I wish I could be one thing or the other because it would make stuff easier in my life, but that's now how my life is. I don't want this to be another thing for people to hate on me for. I find beauty in men and women and most of all intelligence."
