If you love drag queens and Project Runway, today is the show for you!
We’ve got New York City’s very own Miss Understood of Screaming Queens talking about the Drag Queen Challenge on the hit reality TV show Project Runway.
Miss Understood spills the beans on how reality TV shows are taped and what it takes to make it big.
Join us as we talk about the designers we love, the ones we hate- and the clothes that made a lasting impression.
We watched the airing of the episode at Retro Fit in San Francisco. It’s a shop run by LeMay, one of the drag queens on the show. She who wore the awful dress with the unbelievable collar. As we watched poor Jerrell construct the crazy drag costume, a crushed LeMay kept screaming “No, don’t do it!” The party goers loved her enthusiastic drama.
RuPaul made her first television appearance in quite a while, but why did she look so awful? That wig looked like it had gone through the washing machine. We know, it’s hard to “do a twirl” or “sashay, shante” but just pass a comb through it once or twice. They even used Joan Collins level Vaseline on the lens and she still looked like a hung-over Sarah Jessica Parker!
A cross dressing thief in Florida snatched a woman’s purse but the person left behind a very important clue- a fake breast. Well, it may not be an important clue but the police are processing the water filled condom for fingerprints and DNA evidence.
I think we finally figured out why McCain picked Alaskan Governor Sarah Pallin for his vice president. She is a metaphor for the republican party. She is a loving mother who’s child has strayed and now she is making everything better by getting her pregnant daughter married. She’ll do the same with her faltering party and steer it on the right track.
Her speech at the Republican National Convention seemed to say everything the party wanted to cover- terror, taxes and energy. That’s the great thing about rhetoric, it doesn’t even have to be true to resonate.

September 4, 2008 at 10:25I noticed Korto’s dress in the commercial too, but then my BF pointed out that the fabric she used came from D.V.F.s vault so they probably just used the same, very recognizable fabric. The dress in the commercial wasn’t the same cut or design when I looked closer. God bless DVR.

September 6, 2008 at 11:02When Fausto and Miss Understood refer to the car parts challenge in Project Runway, they mismatched the film and the designer 
The look they refer to is seen in one of Almodovar’s movies, Kika (not Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown) and the designer for that was Jean Paul Gaultier, not Thierry Mugler.

Hope that helps
Fausto Fernós says:
September 6, 2008 at 14:31Yes! It was KIKA! That Motorcyle journalist outfit was what I thought those guys were going to do, and it looked NOTHING like that, which was kind of lame.
Here is a scene from the movie translated into Russian, but you can see one of the costumes I was thinking of:

September 6, 2008 at 18:05Great show on Project Runway. I’m really happy they chose to do a whole show on drag queens as well.
I’d love to see Marc and Fausto as judges on the show!
Kieran says:
September 10, 2008 at 00:04Kika is a great film and that outfit was fabulous. Great to see interest in Pedro’s movies. I rewatch them all the time.

September 4, 2008 at 02:16So my favorite podcast is feast of fools and my favorite show is project runway so you can guess how excited I was when I saw this episode. I normally listen on my way to school but I had to listen to this one right away, and I am glad I did because it was a great show. Miss Understood is crazy and a little scary.
When are you guys going to get Christian back on the show?
