It looks like a bunch of hearts and ruffles vomited all over Victoria Beckham - and I think it’s pretty MAYJAH! She looks like a really posh (no pun intended) Valentine’s day gift.

Here are some other Dressed-worthy arrivals at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala…

Sorry Anna Wintour, no matter how hard to steal the spotlight in this picture, you can’t eclipse the glamorously ballooning gown of your daughter, Bee Schaffer.

Sarah Silverman’s polka-dotted dainty retro outfit - fits her mischievous girly personality. But those gloves have to go.

Well not literally…

A new Marc Jacobs ad features Victoria curled up in a fetal position with her thumb in her mouth, ruining a perfectly nice dress.

Why am I finding this ad a bit annoying?

Now that we all have had time to let the finale of Project Runway sink into our fashionista heads, a lot of people have been coming to me and gushing about Rami and Jillian’s collections - as for the triumphant wunderkind and winner, Christian, he’s been getting mixed reviews.

My co-worker Kari called me yesterday and was cursing like a sailor because he won, saying that it was all too black and that none of it was wearable. She was more captivated by Jillian’s designs and couldn’t stand the fact that Christian took the top prize.

Another lady I met at the media tour of UC Berkeley’s new fashion exhibit, “From Plugs to Bling:A Century of Cal Student Fashion,” called Christian’s collection too haute couture and she wasn’t exactly jumping up and down for his win.

Last night when I went to the “Interpreting Ancient China” fashion exhibit in San Francisco, I met one woman who said that it seemed like the show was going for entertainment value than actual fashion credibility.

Ouch!

As for me, I am satisfied with the win because from the very beginning I knew that Christian was a force to be reckoned with.

I mean, c’mon folks, I could you know he wouldn’t win? Sure, his collection was drab with black and only about 25 percent of his clothing was actually wearable right off the runway, but this kid has got some serious talent.

Although I was floored by the collections of Jillian and Rami, they already have loads of experience in the industry. This show was just a resume builder. For Christian, besides his stints at Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, he really hasn’t done something for himself. He’s fresh, young and his talent could only grow.

Then again, could this have been a pity vote from the judges? Did they pick Christian because he is new and somewhat naive?

But when it comes down to it, if Victoria Beckham thinks he is “MAYJAH,” then there isn’t really anything we can do about it.

What better way to celebrate the Project Runway finale than to do some good ol’ fashioned LIVE BLOGGING!

We’re about eight minutes away from the finale. As I watch last week’s episode, I still wish that Chris could’ve made it into the final three. Why am I thinking that the result will be different on this rerun episode?

Well, we all know that the final three, Rami, Christian and Jillian already showed at Fashion Week at the beginning of February. We also know that Chris and Sweet P showed - but they were just red herrings.

Now we are two minutes away from the finale. I was actually at the show in February. I am crossing my fingers that one of the Project Runway cameras caught me staring blankly at the runway looking like a total moron!

Okay…here we go!!!

Tim is critiquing Jillian’s collection. There’s this one sweater that looks like it has mop heads for sleeves.

Rami is his next victim. Tim is gushing about his antique lace piece.

Now what does he have to say about Christian? He is concerned about his collection being over-designed.

Uh oh. Christian is getting scurred. He’s losing confidence! Is this possible? He is actually intimidated by Jillian and Rami!

BUSTED!

So here comes plot point one of the finale: Jillian hasn’t done a model casting! BUSTED!

Models are walking…blah…blah…blah. They’re saying what they want in a model, who’s good, who’s bad…pretty basic boring stuff.

Now it’s on to Collier Strong - makeup man extraordinaire!

They are choosing their makeup themes. Again, boring. That’s why this segment is so short.

Now it’s time for model fitting!

Oh my God. The models are complaining about Christian’s shoes. They are scraping the bottom of the barrel for enticing stuff to televise before the runway show.

I am more than ready to see the show.

Now Jillian is having issues with her models.

Her head hurts. And I need a cigarette.

PERFECT TIMING! It’s time for a commercial break!

…brb…

Ok, I am back, but the show isn’t.

So Rami just said that Christian needs to learn to make clothing for real women, not just models.

Hmmm. He may be on to something.

Jillian is still having model issues. She should’ve thought of this more thoroughly. Busted her.

Now it’s time for them to decide on how to do their models’ hair - courtesy of TRESemme (shameless plug).

Uh oh. Tim has entered for one last “gather round.”

Is he going to give them more twist to their runway show? Is he?! Is he?!

Oh no. He’s just getting all schmaltzy and saying how much he adores them.

Oh Tim! You’re such an inspiration.

It’s the DAY OF THE SHOW!

Wow. The three of them just did a group hug in the tent. There’s a lot of hugging in this episode. They might as well just start making out.

Ok so now they have one hour until the show. Everyone is frantic! Christian is missing two models. Jillian is being Jillian. And Rami…Rami is calm and collected. He’s the only one not getting on my nerves.

Is it vain o me to try to look for myself as they take audience shots in the tent?

Okay…Jillian is up first. She’s on in five! Her soft-spoken voice kind of creeps me out.

Heidi has now stepped on the runway to start the show. She’s introducing the judges: NEENAGAHCEEYA, Michael Kors and the fabulously pouty and MAYJAH Victoria Beckham.

So lets take a look at Jillian’s clothing: there is something very chivalrously armored about her collection. Her vision is clear - but the mop handle sleeve sweater seems like a sore thumb. That jacket is some serious stuff:

Ok…commercial break. I just saw a preview for Make me a Supermodel - I haven’t really been relentlessly blogging about that. Maybe it’s because it isn’t intriguing me enough…

Now we’re back! Rami is up and he’s talking about celebrating women and wearing shirts with the top four buttons undone.

As I watch Rami’s collection, he’s the most professional. It’s clean and flawless and it really does celebrate the woman’s body. It is, like he said, very Joan of Arc-centric. Too bad there isn’t a burning at the stake at the end of his show. That would make the show really dramatic.

Now it’s the wunderkind’s turn (a.k.a. Christian.) Dark. Dark. Dark. Goth. Goth. Goth. Romantic. Ruffles. Feathers. His collection is really…fierce. But I have to say, it’s really couture rather than ready-to-wear. This goes back to what Rami said earlier.

But how can you not be mesmerized by this:

It’s the end of the show. Padma, the sexy host from Top Chef, is endorsing Jillian. Jay McCarroll, the winner from the first season is endorsing Rami. Kevin, an auf’d member from this season, is endorsing Christian.

I swear, this is like the presidential election.

This is making me think twice about my endorsement of Christian. I easily succumb to peer pressure.

Ok…commercial break. Now I can collect my thoughts - and go to the bathroom.

The infamous musical “THUD” of the runway judging panel brings us to the chopping block. Heidi is talking about how the designers of this season KICKED IT UP A NOTCH! Much like Emeril.

The judges were right. The collections were extremely forward and fabulous. But their personalities - except for Christian - were a little bit bland.

Okay - here comes the judging.

They are gushing over Jillian’s knitwear. I can’t disagree with that. They are loving her shapes and silhouettes. I can’t disagree with that either.

Victoria is loving Christian’s collection and called it MAYJAH! Michael called the feather piece at the end, SPEC-TAC-ULAR. They love his collection, but the palette made it monotonous. But Victoria keeps on praising him by saying it was very “her” so she LOVED it.

Rami: they are really talking his collection up, but Michael said he used “Brady Bunch” colors.

Now for the judges deliberation. I don’t really know what they are saying because I am too hypnotized by Victoria’s accent.

As they are talking, I am really distracted by Heidi’s “Solid Gold” top and unbelievable bling on her fingers. Is she getting ready to be a dancer in a rap video?

Okay…the judges have reached a decision…

Who will be the first one out? The suspense is killing me! Okay, not really, I just want to get to bed. It’s way past my bed time and I still need to do the dishes.

UGH! Commercial break.

Okay…we’re BACK!

Here they go…who will be “auf’d” first?

Waiting…waiting…waiting…UGH! SHUT UP HEIDI and quit giving wrap ups of their talents…JILLIAN IS OUT! I hope she doesn’t pull out a gun and start shooting everyone.

I have to say that I like how Jillian dresses.

It’s between Rami and Christian…who will it be? My heart is beating so fast!

And it is…………………….CHRISTIAN!

He is crying! Whoa. That’s unexpected. This mean RAMI IS OUT!

FIERCENESS RULES THE RUNWAY!

Ooooh! Victoria wants to wear a piece of his clothing! That is more exciting than winning the show!

Honestly, it really isn’t a surprise that he won. I knew it since I saw his collection in New York.

Did that sound braggy?

SEE YA NEXT SEASON!

Since I did not want to dive into the fashion mosh pit of the before-the-show press mess at the Project Runway show, here are a few spotty shots from my seat at the finale.

The hellaciously packed tent:

First off, they weren’t skimpy on the celeb fare:

Heidi gets the party started!

A misty-eyed Sweet P presents her collection

Chris gives a playful, yet nerve racking introduction

Dainty and soft-spoken, Jillian greets the audience

Christian tells the audience that they look “fierce”

Rami goes on about the beauty of women

That’s BLASPHEMY!

Well, it’s about 65 percent true. But fashion pundit, Mr. Blackwell put Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham on the top of his 48th annual worst-dressed list.

Not one of her best moments. Now I can see why Mr. Blackwell put her on the list

Forget the fashion spice, wearing a skirt would suffice! In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty posh can really wreck-em.

Ouch.

Here are his quips on some of this year’s fashion disasters:

No. 2: Amy Winehouse—”Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below, she’s part ’50s carhop horror.”

No. 3: Mary-Kate Olsen—”She resembles a tattered toothpick—trapped in a hurricane.”

No. 4: Fergie—”Yes, when it comes to couture chaos, guess it’s all in a name!”

Bravo Mr. Blackwell. You hit the nail right on the head. Although I don’t think Olsen is a toothpick, she’s more of a used strand of dental floss. And thanks for putting Fergie on there.

Other A-listers on this list of dishonor included Kelly Clarkson, Eva Green, Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Alison Arngrim.

Still, with my undying infatuation with Victoria, I will have to say that there are more hellacious dressers out there. There’s always Britney, but that is way too easy. Here’s what he said about her absence from the list:

I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her.

Good form Mr. Blackwell.

But back to Posh - I have an allegiance to Victoria. She takes fashion risks, but homegirl does needs to eat a Big Mac or something.

His Fabulous Fashion Independents list included: Reese Witherspoon (couldn’t agree more), Jemima Khan (okay), Beyonce (I agree to a certain point), Angelina Jolie (definitely), Helen Mirren (classic beauty), Nicole Kidman (yes, indeed - except for the picture below), Katie Holmes (I have something to say about her - please read below), Kate Middleton (I could live with that), Katherine Heigl (breakout beauty) and Cate Blanchett (she can do no wrong).

As for Miss Holmes-Cruise being on his “best” list, she is apparently BFF with Posh so there is this interesting paradox of Holmes being on the best list and Posh being the worst. They have even garnered so many comparisons with their styles. Case and point: click here.

But after thinking about it a bit, Katie does carry herself in a more refined matter. Sorry Posh.

All that aside, Mr. Blackwell’s list is considerable, but I think it’s more of a “who’s more annoying” list than a worst-dressed list. Because as much as I love Posh, I can get on “mayjah” Beckham overload at times.

Don’t you miss those days when you would dress up in glamorous gowns with your friends and go into some random mansion and just start singing a song? Well, the Spice Girls can help you relive those memories with their music video, “Headlines.”

…and yes, the song is just pure random pop nonsense:

I got to hand it to all 5 gals - they all look hot. I especially like how throughout the video the lose more and more clothes. Who do you think has better abs? Posh or Ginger? What about the best rack? Scary or Baby? The best voice? Hands down: Sporty.

I think my obsession with the Spice Girls is rekindling.

I think that sugary pop sound of the late ’90s is comin’ back! By this, I am referring to the new song “Voodoo” by those sassy stylish Spice Girls.

They have come a long way from those days of “zigga-zigg-aaaaaah!” Well - not really, the song doesn’t sound like anything different from what they used to do. Even though it is a catchy tune, what is the point of this song anyhow?

But who am I kidding? I know I am going to buy their new CD once it comes out. I just hope they won’t be clad in leopard print, Union Jacks and hideous platform shoes at their concert.

That Victoria Beckham is SUCH A HOOT! Check out the stylish Spice Girl when she appeared on the Ellen show sportin’ her new darker ‘do. She also gave Ellen some good fashion pointers…

Uh oh! SF-based retailer the Gap got BUSTED for child labor laws! C’mon guys - take it easy on the Gap. Even though they don’t treat or pay their underage outsourced employees well, they at least pay high-profile celebs a hefty sum of money to do some AWESOME ads for some “eh” clothes.

Do you have an extra $2400 to burn? Don’t we all? I would suggest investing in a very useful pair of Swarovski Fashion Rocks Crystal Studded DJ Headphones:

Oh that Oprah! She is up to her talkshow Tom Foolery again! Recently, the queen of the multimedia universe chopped of Hilary Swank’s hair. Swank paid her for the beauty shop services by giving her one of her Oscars.

What would this week’s “Best Dressed” post be without mentioning some of this year’s hottest Halloween costumes?

Ok, ok - Teri Hatcher’s “Queen of Hearts” costume makes up for that act of Filipino degradation she did a while back. Are people even still talking about that?

I loved Heidi Klum’s rat costume…or is it a cat? Or is she just trying out for a role in “Meerkat Manor?”

And of course, we can never forget Paris:

Plus, she had some wise words to say about what she was wearing:

Brains and beauty! What a package!

While celebs and the rest of the world partied it up macabre style, the lowly patrons of the Castro in SF were a part of no such celebration. Next year, the city plans to double their budget for NOT having a Halloween party.

Lance Armstrong? Ashley Olsen? A couple? You got it dude!

Gone Baby Gone: See it. See it NOW.
