Project Runway Premieres Thursday July 19 at 9/8c on Lifetime

It’s time to cut – or be cut! The Emmy Award nominated series, Project Runway, celebrates its 10th Anniversary milestone with 16 new designers, beginning Thursday, July 19, at 9/8c on Lifetime. Not only will this season’s designers have to prove they have the creativity, skills and passion to dazzle Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn and judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, they’ll also have to show off their garments to the critical eyes of a live audience in one of New York’s most visited and highly visible sites for their first challenge of the new season.

You’re either in or you’re out and right now I’m in. In honor of Project Runway‘s 10th Anniversary, I have been chosen to be a member of the Project Runway Fashion Blogger Network which means you can look forward to exclusive previews every week on Aspiring Socialite.  Check out this behind the scenes look at Heidi Klum’s promotional photo shoot for the series.  I think I’m going to stop eating now and permanently station myself on a treadmill until this season of Project Runway is over.  Be sure to tune in tomorrow for some cutting edge fashion!

Taylor Momsen Needs to Chill

On tonight’s episode of Gossip Girl, I witnessed the aftermath of the masquerade ball in which the vengeful masters of disguise Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen,) Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr,) and Juliet (Katie Cassidy) turned everyone against Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively.)  I guess when good girls go bad, they go really bad. Unfortunately, Taylor Momsen is no exception to this rule. Perhaps, you remember her as a fresh-faced teen playing an innocent Jenny Humphrey, a Brooklyn girl looking to fit in at an Upper East Side prep school, on the first season of Gossip Girl.  Look even further back to the year 2000 and you will find an ultra-innocent Taylor Momson playing the adorable Cindy Lou Who opposite Jim Carrey in The Grinch.

It looks like the Grinch has grow tired to stealing Christmas and came back to steal Taylor Momson soul leaving her with nothing but, permanently corrupted eye makeup and very bad hair extensions. But, it isn’t just her fashion scene that has gone bad; Taylor Momsen’s diva attitude has made her enemies in high places. Earlier this year the actress had it out with fashion expert, Tim Gunn. After appearing together on an episode of Gossip Girl. Tim Gunn claims that Taylor Momsen was constantly on her BlackBerry and rarely remembered her lines. In reference to the tediousness of filming the episode he said, “I thought to myself ‘why are we all being held hostage by this brat?” Well Mr.Gunn, she now looks scary enough to hold anybody hostage. I miss the old Taylor Momsen.
