skin-tight tiger tees


i am obsessed with podcasts right now. my top two favorites are the official lost podcast with damon and carlton, and tim gunn's project runway podcast. oh how i love project runway. it's the best reality show ever. and tim gunn gives me so much secret gossipy information in that pocast. he offers all of the behind-the-scenes scoop (kara janx makes him want to take a xanax; no self-respecting gay male could not know who cher is), and he uses the most ridiculous words over and over, like "caucus" and "probe". and his two catchphrases, "carry on" and "make it work" are also funny to me, PARTICULARLY when he uses them in combination, a la last week's episode: "jeffrey and allison are going to have to carry on and, frankly, make it work." AHAHAHA. he really said that. you non-fans out there probably aren't amused. well, watch the show. you'll see. and listen to the podcasts. you'll double see. also, allison is so cute.

the official lost podcast is also hilarious in a different way. there's lots of witty banter, which tim gunn can't exactly offer, and damon and carlton (lost producers) really take full advantage of the fact that we can't actually see them while they're speaking, which frees them to tell us that damon isn't wearing pants, carlton has his legs covered in a shawl, carlton has put a piece of cardboard down on the floor and is doing the worm, etc. little kid things. i take advantage of the fact that i can't see them by inaccurately picturing them as other people. i picture damon as jj abrams, but more importantly, i picture carlton as santino from project runway season two. he sounds just like him! i only wish carlton were so gangly and clothed in skin-tight tiger tees. i've never actually seen him, and i think maybe it's better that way.

I'm writing a comment! I feel so technologically sound. I also love Carlton and Damon. I wish Damon was my husband, and I think it's funny that you picture him to be JJ. I think they have the same glasses. I picture Carlton to be from New York. Like he's in the mob.

I had no idea that Tim Gunn had a podcast! I'm going to download them right now! Your blogs are so informative Sarah! Thank you, for teaching me about life and podcasts and Cher.

oh, does he ever. i love tim gunn's podcast. also, i have to say that wednesday's episode was a source of utter devastation. i can't believe what happened with allison, and after listening to the podcast, i really feel that tim gunn is on my side, right where he belongs. i'm trying to muster the strength to write a blog about the tragedy but my emotions are still too raw. sigh.
