Project Runway: Episode 6: Drag Queens!

By -

Drag Queens! This week the designers had to make over-the-top costumes for drag queens. The outfits not only had to fit the queens, they also had to fit their personas. This challenge brought back last season's Chris dressed in all of his Viking-Queen-disco-ball-boobs glory. On top of that, Ru Paul came in to guest judge.

I haven't seen as much flair, personality or even good design this season as in past seasons. I was hoping to see this challenge push the designers over the edge to create some FABulous garments. A few of them took to the challenge, but sadly not all of them.

With a pink, sparkle sailor get up, Joe won the challenge. The outfit started out very Elvis-like, but he flipped the collar down and added the sailor hat for a winning combination. It even fit great so I guess it was a good thing that his queen left her boobs behind so Joe get the shape right.


Terri did a great job with this crazy samurai/kabuki look. She almost won. I love her creativity. The judges loved all the various aspects of the look, and Michael Kors wants the boots.


Korto's firey creation won favor with the judges and with her Queen. The theme "a women in heat" even made Tim giggle a little. This look was also in the top three.


Blayne's gone "licious"-crazy and needs to stop talking. However, he created a neon extravaganza Tim called "A pterodactyl out of a gay Jurassic Park." The judges put Blayne through to next week without a comment.


Keith needs to stop sticking strips of fabric on a shape and calling it clothing. This messy look almost sent him home. He needs to be careful next week.


However, the fact that Daniel can only make cocktail dresses, even for drag queens, got to the judges this week. It was a boring, normal dress in a bright color, and it sent him home.

Are these clothes available on Bluefly like every other week?

I prefer my drag queens on ANTM. Aside from knowing how to work with a client, this is a horrible challenge.

Mimi Imfurst wore a similar outfit to the pink and blue "Pterodactyl" look on the RPDR All-Stars promos

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
