No Runway fans, it's not July 16 quite yet but we're dusting off the TGIW machine to celebrate the Season 2 premiere of Shear Genius. Tbone has crawled out from under his rock and will be hosting a party post tonight over at Blogging Shear Genius. All of you party animals can join the fun beginning at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Come say hello!
Meanwhile, look at Jaclyn Smith up there. She is apparently ageless, looking no different than she did 30 years ago. It's ridiculous. Also, don't miss this fabulous field report from Trish the Dish yesterday as she attended the Shear Genius Blowout event in Times Square.
Shear Genius will assume PR's traditional 10:00 p.m. Wednesday time slot and is expected to get a big lead-in boost when Season 5 kicks off three weeks from today. Yep, only three more weeks...
Sweet P will be among the celebrity guests at the Studio City Fourth of July Fireworks Festival. Click here for more information and to purchase tickets.
Congratulations again to Christian Siriano and Lisa Sole for their fabulous "Spread in Elle Magazine." The July issue is on the newsstands now. Click here for more. Thanks Lisa.
Click here for photos of Malan Breton with the finalists from Australia's Next Top Model. Thanks Jason.
Please check out our new site, Blogging Shear Genius (please take our poll!) The season two premiere is on Wednesday night.
Click here to watch a sneak peek of next week's episode of Australia's Next Top Model. The final three girls are modeling Malan Breton's designs at a retrospective of his work in NYC.
NYC-based field reporter, Trish O, was at Emmett McCarthy's Shoe Sale on Wednesday night. Here is her report. Thanks again Trish! Well - a tough and demanding school year has come to an end and after all the work I put into it, I decided that my "sole needed some saving!" so I took a trip into New York City to Emmett McCarthy's "Who Will Save Your Sole?" shoe sale at his EMc2 boutique on Wednesday night! Every time I visit the store, the displays are so different and quite striking. This time the focus was of course - on the shoes!
Reports that Season Six will film partly in Los Angeles have brought mixed reactions. Devoted fans want nothing to change about their beloved show. Forward-thinkers are eager to see something fresh and new.
The truth is that there has always been a strong Los Angeles presence on Project Runway. Auditions are held there every season and there has been at least one Los Angeles designer in the finale of every season so far.
Variety has an interesting article about the personality of the Los Angeles fashion designer and how he or she might be perfectly suited for the reality show format.
Hmmmmm...
Meanwhile, speaking of Los Angeles designers. Don't miss all of the great new material on Nick Verreos's blog. Click here for a backstage look at the preparations for the A-List Awards Show...

Heidi Klum was joined by Austin Scarlett, Chris March, Christian Siriano, Jane Cha and Desiree Gruber at the Peabody Awards After Party. Read more here.
Tonight at 10 pm Eastern 'Flipping Out' Season Two premieres and in the first episode we meet 'New Chris.'
Who is New Chris and how is he related to Project Runway? New Chris is actually Chris Keslar, friend of BPR and brother to none other than Season Three designer Angela Keslar.
Chris had served as a 'field reporter' for us when Angela was at Macy's (click here). And he also joined Laura K. with Heather Ashton and Andrea Keller from Top Design (more colliding!) at a lunch at The Standard Hotel during casting of Season 4 of Project Runway (click here).
Just wanted to give Chris a shout-out on BPR and say that we can't wait to 'watch what happens' on the new season!
Let's check in with the Project Runway "All-Stars" auctions. Can you guess which dress will receive the highest bid?
Rami Kashou will be on TVGuide Channel's Fashion Team tonight. He will be showcasing five current looks from his collection along with his HSN design. Click here to check your local listings.
By the time I realized that I should post a poll about Whoopi Goldberg's Christian Siriano dress worn last night at the Tony Awards, I figured that I should check out The Fug Girls to see if the frock merited a mention. Yes, the gown was not only discussed but they also posted a far more clever poll than the one I had considered. So go vote over there - but, since they don't allow comments, tell us why you voted the way you did.
Los Angeles-based Field Reporter Christine Haynes covered the "Go Metro" dance performance for BPR. Thanks Christine!
Last Saturday I went to see Project Runway Season 2's Andrae Gonzalo perform Go Metro . . . at the Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica. The timing couldn't have been better, as my mom was in town for the long weekend, and she is a super Project Runway fan, so she was really excited to meet Andrae.
So off we went, and it was so great! Andrae, and a cast of about 6 others performed a series of really funny dance/performances all about the joys and pains of taking public transportation in LA. Afterwards, we went to meet Andrae, and he graciously posed for a photo with us. He was extremely genuine and sweet. And we met his mom, who we ended up sitting next to during the performance. She was lovely as well.
Who do you call when you want a dress fashioned out of money? If you're Heidi Klum, posing for the June 30 Forbes Magazine (on the newstands today), you don't hesitate to think of Project Runway Season 4 Finalist Rami Kashou. Rami tells us that he created the dress in two days and was on the set prepping the entire day of the shoot. You can also see Rami and the leggy supermodel in the table of contents.
UPDATE: The money was fake and purchased at Toys R Us! Fantastic!
