We Saw PR7 Episode 1!

And you didn't! Neener neener!

Even better, for once we got the whole screener, straight through to the elimination. Obviously, you want to hear all about it but obviously, we can only give you snippets.

Commence snippets:

- Start spreading the news, bitches. NEW YORK IS BACK! It felt like coming home and we don't even live there. Shots of the skyline, The Atlas Apartments, Parsons - it's all back and it's very fucking welcome. Never leave, PR. We're begging you. Also...

-THE DUCHESS AND LA NINA IN THE HIZZOUSE! GOD, you have no idea how wonderful it was to hear real criticism again. Constructive, on point, and coming from a place of real knowledge rather than "I would TOTALLY wear that!" Which reminds us, Nicole Ritchie wasn't that bad.

- It's no skin off our nose, but man, women must hate Heidi because somehow she manages to look more gorgeous and sexier when she's pregnant.

- You'd really have to be a PR scholar to notice, but there are some very slight stylistic changes to the show and they're ones that we really welcome. It feels a little more raw, a little more cinéma vérité. There's a slight change in how the winner and loser are announced. Nothing major, just that it's done in a way that it catches you slightly off-guard. Even though we had both the winner and the loser pegged ahead of time, we still went "Oh!" when Heidi announced them. Also, there's a new bit of product placement on the show, but it's really, really cool and it adds something a little new and modern to the design process.

- We really love the designers so far. All of them, believe it or not. It feels a bit like Season 1 in that they're all loaded with personality and don't seem to care that there are cameras on them. Plus, there's some major talent on display and unlike the last season, each designer has a very distinct point of view.

- A new World Record for PR was set. Not only did someone burst into tears in the first THIRTY SECONDS of the show, but this someone also managed to cry TWO MORE TIMES over the next hour.

- Bunim/Murray: please, please, please show us more of that scorching hot makeup artist that we saw for only a few seconds. Now there's a phrase you don't hear every day: "scorching hot makeup artist."

-We've seen this challenge before but they added a twist this time and it was staged in a really cute way. We don't want to give anything away, but trust us, Tim looked adorable.

And finally, just to leave you salivating for more, some choice quotes:

"I don't really care for Miss America."

"We're like fat people at an open buffet in Vegas."

"Ping, Ping, Pong."

"I'm sweating like a Baptist preacher!"

"She looks like a Hershey's chocolate bar."

"In a lounge in Las Vegas in 1972, that would have looked glamorous."

And finally, the one that's bound to pique your interest:

"I said 'in.' Before I change my mind, Auf Wiedersehen. Leave the runway!"

Guest Judge for Season 7 Premiere

We're going to act like this is superexciting!!!!!!!

Project Runway returns for its seventh season in New York with guest judge Nicole Richie joining Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, premiering January 14th at 10 pm ET/PT on Lifetime Television. The first episode is called "Back to New York."

Like every other pointless celebrity, she's got a line of clothing and jewelry, which we suppose we could look up for you and provide examples, but why bother? It's not like she has anything to do with it outside of her name.

Now, some will be quite annoyed by this as they were by Lindsay Lohan's guest appearance. For us, it's a big shrug of the shoulders. We're not naive. We realize that a reality show in its seventh season needs a little star power in order to get attention. And, similar to what we said about Lohan last year, like it or not, Nicole Ritchie has been a "person of interest" to the fashion community for several years now. Not because she's a fashionista herself so much but because she pays people to make her look like one and either through luck, taste, or common sense, has managed to find people that make her look (for the most part) fashionable.

We said "for the most part," didn't we?

We didn't mind people like Debra Messing or Parker Posey or Sarah Jessica Parker back in the day because those women actually have demonstrated some personal style that wasn't merely bought and paid for, but more importantly, they were accomplished women with impressive resumes. Even Lohan has managed to have more of a career than Nicole, one of the worst examples of "famous for nothing" outside her former friend Paris.

We guess we'd put it this way: We understand why a show like PR needs guest stars, but this isn't a guest "star," so much as it's a guest "famous person." Granted, we wouldn't want the show to suffer the embarassment of Miss "I'm too good to breathe the same air as you and there's not a chance in hell I'll ever wear that dress" Nicole Kidman's giant head appearing on a video screen to talk to the designers from space the future a Scientology-proof bunker an undisclosed location, but couldn't they find someone with a little more on her resume besides "My Daddy has a Grammy!" scrawled in crayon?

Could they possibly look more pissed off? Much as we'd love to do a NinaCap here, it's kind of tough to do one sans context. You guys do it.

Michael Kors Pre-Fall 2010

The Duchess is back and she has something to say.

Style.com sits in the Duchess' court:
"I want to rename pre-fall 'city,' " Michael Kors said. "It's our most urban season, the clothes every girl in our office wants to wear all year round." Taking "seasonlessness" as his mantra—and Helmut Newton models as his muses—the designer showed a black bathrobe coat with a fox collar over a chiffon blouse and stretch wool shorts, and a belted zip-front vest with a seamed skirt ("It's a suit but not a suit," he said)."

We were about to write that the Duchess churned out another collection of timeless looks, but we thought better of it because "churned" implies a lack of artistry and that's simply not true here. It's easy to dismiss Kors because he only works in classic mode, but what he does, he does very, very well. We think some of the silhouettes and hemlines are a little goofy (we simply can't look at a large peplum without thinking of Dynasty), but when he makes such beautiful, wearable, incredibly well-tailored clothing, he should be allowed his little flights of fancy now and then. It's simply beautiful clothes and who can't get behind that idea?
