Once upon a time if a reality TV star was lucky enough to be granted a full 15 minutes of fame, he or she would grab every single money-making opportunity, regardless of where it came from. But Christian Siriano, the diminutive winner of Project Runway season 4, catchphrase coiner, and assymmetric haircut standard-bearer, represents a new breed: He's not for sale to just anyone. Well, not quite.

I hate to bite on Richard's style yet again, but doesn't this picture just sort of cry out for an "Open Caption"? Anyway, I'm bad at this stuff, but you kids should be able to figure something out.

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.Using a predominantly gray color scheme, Christian wowed the crowd with his ruffled, flowing masterpieces. They looked similar to his work on P.R., but even more mature and wearable. It wouldn’t be surprising to see women all over the world donning his duds. But then again, I’m just a straight dude who knows nothing about fashion. So, what did the experts have to say about it? Runway judge Nina Garcia chimed in: “Not everybody at his age could pull this together so effortlessly. I am blown away and proud and excited and happy—I feel like a doting mother." “It was very classy and beautiful," Hedi Klum teutonically intoned. But there could be no more ringing of an endorsement than the one from Tim Gunn, who said of Christian, “He really is the next great American fashion designer." High praise, indeed. Shocking as it seems, maybe something good can come out of reality TV once in a while. Maybe. [Photo Credit: Getty Images]

• Contrary to the word's overuse, supermodels are a rare breed, says Stephanie Seymour: "It's very embarrassing when you meet, like, a Russian prostitute, and she says she's a supermodel. And you're like, 'Hey, me too...'" Exactly where Seymour is getting into conversations with Russian prostitutes is anyone's guess. [UK Vogue]

So weird orange rutabaga Blayne, from the new season of Project Runway, likes to nance around the design room saying "girlicious," among other annoying things. He seems to be reeeeally pushing it as a catchphrase (though, he didn't coin it). This has incurred the wrath of last season's fitfully gay catchphrase machine Christian Siriano, who more organically wove "fierce," "tranny," "hot mess," and various combinations of the three into the fabric of the New York fashionista vernacular. Though, you know, "fierce" was there way before little mister monkey man Siriano came chimping along. As were the other two. I guess he just used them more effectively than people before him, or something. What fucking ever, he doesn't like Blayne's lame "forced" word and he's not afraid to say so. Watch a video, from Popwrap, of Christian doing just that after the jump. Oh, and that new collection of his? Already sold out. How rude, tranny. You got it, girlicious. Cowatranny! Or, um, Eat my hot mess. Ew. Wait. Um, one more. Life is like a box of trannies. Does that work? Click to view

As this season's Project Runway contestants are all mincing bores, let's turn to someone more interesting and likable from last season: Christian Siriano. His collection for BlueFly, commissioned as a prize for winning the show, debuts today. It is small, black, and super expensive. Like a first generation iPhone. The coup de grâce, really, is the $96 t-shirt. Honestly the whole thing is a little bit... ffumpf. Whatever that means. See the rest of it after the jump.

Christian Siriano, the flamboyant Mowgli-impersonator who won the last season of design competition show Project Runway, sort of coined the term "trannie" as a descriptor for things that other gays might call "a hot mess" or "[three snaps]." Now, because there are, um, you know, actual transgender people who feel a bit put-off by his verbiage, Siriano is trying to banish the term from his vocabulary. He's not doing a very good job, though. In a recent Time Out New York story about queer folk, he made some untoward comments about drag queens and, well, trannies:

• Apparently hungry for attention in London, Paris Hilton declared Kim Kardashian's butt "disgusting, it reminds me of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag." Then she said Jessica Simpson's boobs were too big. Then she flashed her own boobs again outside a hotel; click here for a bigger shot (via WENN) if you're not bored of Hilton's nipples yet. [Sun]

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!" We still have absolutely no idea how to react to this claim, or to Ferguson's Howard Dean-like scream, so we'll just let you watch and share in our confusion.
