As if it’s not humiliating enough to be kicked off Project Runway by a panel of judges that includes bite-sized figure skater Sasha Cohen, poor Emmett McCarthy had to endure this ignominy while wearing a hot pink, puffy-sleeved, lycra skating chamise that highlighted the contours of his 42-year-old torso.
He also became the latest victim of the producers’ jerry-rigged floating of the obnoxious, incapable-of-following-directions Santino over more competent but less drama-friendly contestants. And if you’re going to lose, losing the “Let’s design figure skating costumes!” challenge has to hurt a lot, because it means that your design was uglier than all the other figure skating costumes.
The brilliant, scarily fanatical Blogging Project Runway has Emmett’s take on the man-boob-exposing pink shirt. Other favorite moments from last night: The usually ultra-smooth Tim Gunn floundering on ice skates, and ultra-nelly Andrae’s description of his design: “This is Princess Cyclone!”

my personal highlight was the comment by that partially retarded judge anne slowey about “too much tooty” — maybe i’m just genetically coded note to notice vag but I missed the money shot.
