Pissed But Proud


So last night Kit was booted off Project Runway ( or, as she calls it, "Project Rungay"), and all I have to say is that she got thrown under the bus by cry-baby-pansyass-comparatively talentless Ricky, and that somehow the judges (or more likely the producers, who know their demographic)can't seem to figure out what everyone else has: Ricky can't hang anymore, and he knows it.

OK, now that i got a little anger out, what I mainly wanted to say is that i'm super proud of Kit. She put in so much effort and energy, and actually sacrificed much of her life in LA for a season of shooting the show in New York. And it's just flat out inspiring to see your friends go for it. So i'm proud of you Tina.

Aside from not making it to the finals, the thing i was most bummed about was that they didn't give her much play time, and i felt like her wonderful personality didn't shine through. She never really received much criticism or praise and basically flew under the radar. I suppose the fact that she's a low-drama, quietly confident person doesn't bode well for "reality" TV, but luckily it does for reality!

Here is a link to her interview with Entertainment Weekly after departing the show:

and here's a link to her blog: http://www.kitpistol.com/blog/index.html

And to wrap this post up on a positive note, Tina's bows and accesories are now being sold at Fred Segal:

Dude, I'm with you. Kit was unjustly auf'd. Her stuff freakin' rules, though, and everyone knows it, so I guess there's that. Hope you're doing well, man! Go see Cloverfield and let me know what you think!
