Christian Siriano’s Fashion Sense Decidedly Not A Hot Tranny Mess

While we concede that Project Runway is a good-to-great show (even if you include this current supes boring season), isn't it a bit troubling that it's utterly failed in its mission to produce a great designer? You never see anyone sporting a Jay McCarroll outfit or a Chloe Dao handbag, do you? Perhaps the show is better at creating personalities than people who can actually cut the mustard in the fashion industry. At least that seemed to be the case until everyone’s favorite gay mullet-headed pixie unleashed his Spring 2009 collection on an unsuspecting New York City. That’s right, Christian Siriano just had a runway show and people cannot stop raving. More »

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano made an appearance on down but not out Craig Ferguson's show last night. As the awkwardness of the fierce tranny hot mess of a 21-year old fashion wunderkind attempting to make conversation with the pinstriped Scot gradually began to fade, conversation predictably shifted towards hair. Christian has made great use of his mullet-meets-Warhol 'do, and after lazily beginning to describe what it's all about for the umpteenth time, silly ol' Ferguson suddenly went into a state of hysterics at the thought of both he and Christian going platinum blonde together. Apparently, you see, Craig had tried to get producers at hipper than hip CBS to allow him to bleach his salt-and-pepper 'do. Their response? "They were like, no way girl!"
