MisterHippity · 11/11/09 09:00PM

Happy Veterans Day! Thank a veteran today? No? Do it now! Call any veterans you know and say thank you, OK? There's time before the live blog starts. And, no, veterans of Restaurant Wars do not count.

Live Blogging Project Runway, Week 12

MisterHippity · 11/05/09 09:00PM

We're down to the last L.A. episode of the season, since the two-part final will be held back in the Big Apple. So we can all just imagine Billy Joel singing "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" during tonight's episode.

Live Blogging the Top Chef All Stars Dinner

MisterHippity · 11/04/09 09:00PM

Hootie-hoo, crew! There's no regular Top Chef episode tonight, because—well, I don't know. WTF, Bravo? But they're airing an all-star special instead, so we're posting this in case folks want to live blog that tonight.

Programming Announcement: Tonight We Live Blog the Election

Gabriel Snyder · 11/03/09 12:00PM

Are you quivering with anticipation about how much Bloomberg's margin of victory will be? Whether moderate Republicans have been banished from Northeast New York? Whether Maine's letting gays marry? Oh good because Peter Feld's hosting an election-night live blog tonight.

You may remember Peter as the man behind last year's Gawker Decision Desk. Election Night 2009 doesn't hold quite the same promise of jubilant street celebrations, but there will be plenty to discuss. So, please stop by around 8pm when polls begin to close. In the meantime, for those of you actually bothering to vote, here's Peter's rebuttal to yesterday's Gawker Endorsement: Don't Vote for Bloomberg in which he gives you ten reasons to return a billionaire to City Hall.

Happy pre-Halloween Thursday, live bloggers! As a bunch of witty folks interested in designing outfits (or at least watching others do it on TV), I'll bet you guys have some cool costumes planned for this weekend, huh?

Live Blogging Top Chef, Week 10

MisterHippity · 10/28/09 08:00PM

My favorite Top Chef moments involve things bursting into flame. Sadly, that hasn't happened in the kitchen this year. Happily, the same isn't true of this live blog — you guys were on fire last week!

Live Blogging Project Runway, Week 9

MisterHippity · 10/15/09 08:00PM

As someone old enough to know who Bob Mackie is, I must say: I find live blogging to be rejuvenating: As you waste hours of your life doing it, you can take years off it at the same time!

Live Blogging Top Chef, Week 8

MisterHippity · 10/14/09 08:00PM

Well gang, we've reached the midpoint of the season and this much is clear: Never has the talent on this show been so clearly divided. You've got the contenders (the Brothers, Beardo and Jen) and the pretenders (everyone else).

Live Blogging Project Runway, Week 8

MisterHippity · 10/08/09 08:00PM

As we learned last week, Tim Gunn's conundrum is the textiles. He is not seduced by them. And I must say I agree: As a general rule, I am also unseduced by conundrum-causing textiles. How about you?

Live Blogging Top Chef, Week 7

MisterHippity · 10/07/09 08:00PM

Welcome back, commenters! Did you all spend your two-week break from Top Chef wisely? I spent much of mine pondering the value of the many cards which—befitting the Vegas theme—have been played so far this season.

Live Blogging Project Runway, Week Six

MisterHippity · 09/24/09 08:00PM

Ah Lifetime! You should have known better than to run that "biggest lie in runway history" jive past the Gawker live-blogging crew. Because if there's one thing this group knows, it's Project Runway history. And we unmasked your mendacity!

Live Blogging Top Chef, Week Six

MisterHippity · 09/23/09 08:00PM

As a young man, I learned this truism from an SAT essay question: "In literature, as in life, people experience conflicts." And what is true of life and literature is true of this live blog. To wit: I'm conflicted.

Live Blogging Project Runway, Week 5

MisterHippity · 09/17/09 08:00PM

Welcome back to Project Liveblog. Is everyone ready to witness the biggest lie in runway history? Because that's what Lifetime's breathless episode promo says we'll see tonight. Unless Lifetime is, you know, lying about this?

Live Blogging Top Chef, Week 5

MisterHippity · 09/16/09 08:00PM

Hey, wanna kill time before tonight's live blog starts? Try rating cheftestant tattoos! Bravo's posted some 50 pics of them, which you can score on a five-star scale (and for once, Ashley's actually winning something!).

Live Blogging Project Runway, Week 4

MisterHippity · 09/10/09 08:00PM

Hello, gang! Here's hoping your week was free of the blues. And here's also hoping that, like an LA citrus tree in January, the Project Runway judging panel will get a little more orange again tonight.
