"You can tell her that you've been to a different rodeo. And don't you-know-what with me, Sister!" - Tim Gunn

Project Runway was fabulous in every sense of the word last night... the show that we love was finally in evidence as a crowd of drag queens and the one and only RuPaul reminded these sometimes lackluster designers that this show is supposed to be fun.

Recaps, thoughts, and more pictures after the jump!



Joe wins with his "Ann-Margaret on the Love Boat" pink sequined sailor outfit. I loved this. It's exactly what a drag queen dreams of - baubles safely out of the way, and zero risk anyone else in the world is wearing the same outfit. Brilliant. What isn't brilliant is Joe pointing out that he's straight every five seconds. We get it. You're straight, and yet you sew. Wow. Varla Jean Merman, Joe's Queen, also had my favorite runway walk, which culminated in a kicky salute. A-dorable.



After tragically accepting that drink from Suede, Daniel fell asleep at the (product placement) apartments. Upon waking, he could hear Tim calling "One hour to get your models to the (product placement) hair and makeup salon. Borrow liberally from the (product placement) accessory wall!" Having no other choice, he traded six of his skinniest skinny ties to a PA on the set in return for a quick run to Banana Republic, where he purchased this gown from the 2006 collection where everything was yellow.

That's the only reasonable explanation, right?



I hate Blayne. I hate the -licious bullshit (Note to Blayne: If Robin Antin has already used a phrase, it is over. Over.) I hate the tanning. I hate the hair - ugh. But what I love was Tim Gunn, chin in hand, staring at this outfit over the top of his eyeglasses before finally proclaiming it "A pterodactyl from a gay Jurassic Park." Ha!

So basically, I love Tim. And hate Blayne.



It's 1947, and Vincente Minnelli insists to Judy Garland that when the collar pops, the crowd will go wild. It's not the first time Vinnie's lied to Judy. But that doesn't make me want to give Jerell a pass for lying to us.



According to Tim's blog, RuPaul saved Keith by pointing out that she would wear this dress. But secretly, we all know what saved Keith was his Queen Sherry Vine telling Michael Kors to step into the Thunderdome.



Oh, look. Kenley made a Marilyn. Exactly what you'd expect from someone who thinks pin up girls are innovative. Kenley, put down the Viva Glam and stop boring me. Christ.



As far as I'm concerned, Korto is the only designer who really really got the point. Freedom on a sewing machine and a client who can't say no to anything, as long as it's themed. "Woman In Heat", indeed. You go, Korts.



I'd comment on Leanne's dress (Judy Jetson, blah blah blah), but I'm too busy staring at Sharon Needles legs. Just - wow.



Oh, Stella. Somehow, you keep managing to either come up with something really cool, or skate by with something like this. Which I believe Kelly Osborne wore to prom.



This asshole is still talking about himself in third person. With a name he probably came up with while recovering from multiple beatings from the local bully. "When Suede grows up, Suede will show him. Yeah! Suede will totally show him!" And now he's on a huge hit show and sewing gloves with lettuce on them for a drag queen named Hedda Lettuce, and talking about himself in third person. And somewhere back in Boise or whatever, the bully takes another swig of his beer and thinks: "I didn't kick that kids ass enough."



Acid Betty is not a standard drag queen, so I get that the crazy geisha thing was appropriate. However - if it weren't for Acid Betty's styling, makeup, bodypaint, and boots that I'm 100% certain were not on the (product placement) accessory wall, this would just be a blue and white bathrobe inspired by a Peppermint Patty with a giant box of black and red Twizzers cinched around the waist and topped off by super long banana Taffy.

Now, I'm hungry and annoyed that Terri was visibly upset after not winning this challenge. Shut up and get me a Snickers Bar, Terri, and then I'll give you the wrapper so you can make me a cocktail dress.

Best lines:

"Side, step. Side, step." Tim, to the Drag Queens trying to fit their outfits through the door.

"Did a dingo eat your baby, too? Cause you are full of excuses." RuPaul, using her Australian accent to strike Keith mute.

"Barf-licious." Leanne, regarding Blayne

"Keith made a Wookie-Onsie." Blayne and Jerell regarding the Thunderdome outfit.

"Yum, pretzels and beer." Heidi to a Viking Chris March

"It looks like a sad, gray chicken." Michael Kors to Keith

There were more, but I'm doing these from memory. Go to it in the comments.

Next week: Laura "Bad Mommy" Bennett!!!! Smooches
