DListed Discusses "Dandy" Patrick McDonald

As I've mentioned many times before, Michael K from Dlisted is the person I want to be when I grow up.  He is, hands down, the most hysterical blogger on the Innerwebz.

Yesterday, Dlisted discussed Launch My Line's Patrick McDonald (above).  Here is a snippet...

Patrick is one of the contestants and describes himself as a "dandy." I guess that just means he speaks with his wrists, always carries at least 4 silk scarves on his person and constantly faints whenever the mood arises. Patrick might be the only person in America who still keeps a crystal vial of smelling salts in his purse.

OMG - in just two sentences he manages to make me LOL while truly defining what a "Dandy" is.  Read the rest of the post HERE.

I wonder if Michael K teaches a "How To Be A Funny Ho" class ... I would SO take it.

Launch My Line

Did anyone else watch Launch My Line last night on Bravo? I did - and I thought it was cute. Not earth-shattering or anything, but cute.

First of all, there are definitely some PERSONALITIES on this show - which always makes it easier to watch. And I was shocked to find myself actually liking NYC "Dandy" Patrick McDonald...

I have seen Patrick's pictures in the newspapers and magazines for years - and I really expected him to be some kind of evil weirdo ... but he was actually quite likable. That designer queen they paired him with, on the other hand, was simply hateful.

One of the main things I didn't like about the show were the hosts - Dean and Dan Caten, founders of the DSquared fashion line...

Dean and Dan look like twin Hobbits who live in the gay section of The Shire. And what is up with them speaking Italian every now and again? I could understand if they spoke Elvish or Entish (or any another language from Middle-Earth), but I don't get the Italian thing. BTW - if you don't know anything about The Lord of the Rings, you won't understand this entire paragraph. Sorry.

Anywhore - what did you think?

Bravo Launches Launch My Line

After the fiasco that was The Fashion NO, Bravo is trying again with Launch My Line. From last week's press release:

The series features ten well known professionals who are highly regarded in their own field of expertise, but have always dreamed of having their own clothing line. These professionals will be paired with ten established fashion designers who will help them execute their dream clothing line. The ten pairs will be put to the test, as they have to rely on each other's expertise to produce a cohesive fashion line. Some teams form a natural connection while others have instant tension, but at the end of every episode a complete look from each team must walk the runway and be judged in front of a live studio audience. In the end, the winning professional will have their clothing line launched and their expert designer, who helped them along way, will receive $50,000.

Television fashion competition experts Tom & Lorenzo say...

We've been hearing through the grapevine for months now that, honestly, for real, no fooling, Bravo REALLY got this one right. We don't blame any of you for being wary after the crashing disappointment of The Fashion Show.

Tom & Lorenzo also have all the information (including bios on all the designers/professionals/whatevers) HERE.

One of the professionals will be RuPaul's Drag Race judge Merle Ginsberg, who I love ...


Another "professional" (which, remember, is another term for "prostitution whore!") is Patrick McDonald...


McDonald is one of those people who always gets photographed during Fashion Week because of his "look". I'll be curious to see if he actually knows how to do something besides pose for pictures.

Launch My Line premieres on Wednesday, September 16 at 9:00 pm - and will air in the time slot right before Top Chef. What do you think - will you give it a shot?
