Hold this superglue. Now cough.

Last Friday we attended the kick-off of the "Fabulous Fashion in Film Festival" at the Castro Theatre, with special guest hosts Santino (aka Satan-o) and Jeffrey from Project Runway.

Santino did his Tim Gunn/Andrae/Red Lobster impression. Tattoo-necked, baby mama-dumping Jeffrey was ungracious, sneering, and not particularly smart.

He claimed his bad-boy schtick was a part he played for the camera, but his horns and pitchfork were still in evidence, despite the lack of key grips and best boys. Jeffrey mocked the talentless Daniel Vosovic and Chloe Dao, saying he only auditioned for PR because his friend Santino had been featured in a previous season. Uh uh. Uh uh! Do not even start in on my little Daniel, he of the floppy hair and crushed Muppet nose.

The film was fabulous, naturally. But when the host announced that a local actor would portray PR icon Tim Gunn, Cat's scribbled note was exactly what I was thinking: "Provincial." San Francisco: please. An actor playing a reality show host is Dubuque-worthy.

I can not wait for season 4.
