jay mccarroll’s clothing line tonight on qvc

i am a freak about bravo television’s project runway. seriously every time i watch the show it makes me want to become a fashion designer, or at least pick my sewing back up. if you are a fan too, you might like to know that jay mccarroll, the winner of season one, will be debuting his clothing line sometime tonight between 9 pm and 11 pm eastern on qvc. season two winner chloe dao will be making an appearance too. here’s is one of the things jay is releasing to the public tonight, his checkerboard coat.

i always thought jay was an earnest, innovative designer and am looking forward to seeing his work again. until tonight, check out his online shop here and say hi to him on his blog too.

christian siriano tributes (funny)

me, myself and i fans of project runway might enjoy this goofy tee shirt created by chris glass, which features most recent winner christian siriano’s favorite word. at the beginning of the season i had picked jillian lewis to win, but i think christian’s designs were just a tad more spectacular. except for that prom dress in that one challenge that one time.

i read on gawker that christian is officially eliminating this favorite catch word from his repetoire. i’m a little sad about this, because i’d like this one to stick around for a little while longer. i guess grabbing up the shirt would be a way of preserving a sentimental teeny slice of pop culture (like a concert tee) that me myself and i we can hold and keep with us for a long, long time.

if you missed the snl sketch from this past weekend immortalizing christian’s vocabulary, take a two and a half minute break, watch this clip and have a good howl.

purchase the tee and see other cool shirts at wire and twine.

ceramic remote control

i like my programs just as much as the next guy, but i have never seen a remote control that wasn’t an insult to my delicate aesthetic sensibilities. never, until i saw this ceramic one from japan’s yuta watanabe. the thoughtful medium that he uses in this piece ensures that it will never be disregarded like its plastic kin, falling into sofa crevices or chewed on by the dog.

if this were actually compatible for all the electronic equipment we have, and it was in production, i would buy one immediately and be in charge of the remote in my house from this day forward.
