Ramblings of a Runway Producer: I'm a Male Model, not a Male Prostitute

September 20, 2006

Now, first of all, I’m just as confused as to why there isn’t a new episode this week as the rest of you. But I guess Bravo wanted to give me ample time to talk about myself, look more conceited than I am and generally make an ass out myself.

Have I mentioned I’m a very, very confident human being?

But before we set off on the voyage of the S.S. Self Aggrandizer, let me pause and ask something that’s been chapping my hide for awhile: “Can we get some blogs about Project Runway up in this piece?”

I mean besides Tim’s Take (he’s the O.G. and his blog is the gold standard), Andy’s Blog, Nick’s Blog, Daniel V.’s Blog, Kara Janx’s Blog, Malan’s Blog, Nathaniel Hawkins’ Blog and Scotty Brown’s Blog (I think he’s a cameraman on the show), where are we going to find out about our favorite show? Seriously, it’s an outrage that there isn’t more dedication to P-Run on this site. Get your act together, Bravo.

You made my day, proof of the Symbiotic nature of the universe that you and Jay are friends.
Although I heard Wendy was the sexual harasser from season one.

Ahhh, God bless you for referencing the Labyrinth! You're posts are amazing and I always look forward to reading them (you better not stop when the season ends). It's interesting to get a behind the cameras look at P-Run. P.S. Do you do blind dates? Haha.

Kate wrote:

I love Jay, I've always loved Jay, and I think his show was smashing. Not a bit trendy, really editorial, and absolutely original.

I heard there were pins showing. I don't want anyone smack-talking my future best friend slash personal stylist, so I'm looking to you, "F---er," to set these rumors to rest.

You're such a hot ticket, Rucker! Where ever would you be without Project Runway? Probably spending your summers in the coal mines with your good olde pop and trying to get another season of Treasure Hunters underway. The thought!

Oh my. What a handsome male model you made. You were all New York in the hizzouse. I'd totally buy you a puppy.

Bravo needs to start posting Rucker's Blog Blogs. Here are a few suggestions:
- bloggingruckersblog (tracking all things rucker and rucker-related)
- ruckersgablog (dishing the gay subtexts)
- ruckerstressblog (stressing on ruckers tresses and whether he should cut his hair)
- blogofstench (discussions of rucker's talented friends)
- notthefwordersblog (sexual fantasies about rucker)
- ruckerslog (on second thought, maybe not)
- plus an assortment of blogs with obvious names like ruckus and bluckeredout and withanamelikeblucker etc. that give weekly recaps of Rucker's Blog.
Of course Tim would contribute his weekly podcast ("Making Rucker Work") or maybe your boss would do that . . .
After all, what will Bravo do when this season ends??!!

Jen wrote:

I totally second all of Trixie B.'s suggestions. In fact, I volunteer to write for them.



And if you say no, I'll get revenge by starting a Rucker fanclub. ;D

The filming of the season is complete. The last show will air in a few weeks. Do you actually still have a job? Are you gonna be collecting unemployment and shopping for boat shoes at Target until the new season starts up?

Whoo-Hoo! Rucker rocks the runway!!! Before you know it, between seasons of "Project Runway" you'll be spotted on runways all over the world. It will be Rucker-if-ic! I love your blogs, you have a wonderful sense of humor and all us silly PR fans are enjoying all the hard work you are putting in to the shows...thanks!

come to think of it, you do look like a young sissy spacek

you are too thin, & jay's clothes suck, frankly

Leslie wrote:

I am all about the Rucker fan club, but did want to mention that Scotty Brown is not a cameraman on P-Run, but actually a real estate agent on Million Dollar Listing. I'm sure he's a fan though! Who wouldn't be? :-)

jay wrote:

hey f****r. thank you for the kind words. thank you for modeling in my show, i saved 500 bucks. thank you for your support and thank you most of all for your friendship. now go write. j

ayla wrote:

Is it bad that I don't think those pictures look like you? I recognize you in every other picture, why do you look different on the runway? Or is it just the third cocktail that I'm drinking that's causing me to think these things?

Brenda wrote:

Rucker, Loved the photos of modeling. Love the blog, how could I not. Keep the insight up and we will so miss you when the season is over, are you going to keep on blogging? Want you to know you get lots of love over at BPR too.

Sheesh.

Love the silver nails, but what about that silver ring. Great shot, but would you mind giving us a shout out? i.e. "This amazing ring I'm wearing is an original piece by You Macbeth."

Hey, are you from St. Paul, MN? I think I went to grade school with you. Congratulations on the sweet job with Project Runway.

Allison wrote:

I've been wondering...what do the producers do when the seasons of Project Runway ends? Do you work on another show or get started with the next season right away?

kellie wrote:

How funny. I had no idea you were going to model for Jay. I was looking at his collection on the fashion week official website and first thing i said to myself was "that looks like that Rucker guy from PR." Come to find it really is you. Those people saying it doesn't look like you need glasses I thought it was you the first second i saw it and I'm only mildly stalker-ish about you.

stella wrote:

The model pics totally give me a different opinion of what Rucker looks like. I have always thought that he closely resembled Vincent D'Onofrio's character "Carl" in The Cell.

Sharla wrote:

Uhhh....Rucker? You look like Jim Morrison....

Sami Ali wrote:

rucker,
i know you are done filming this season. and if there is going to be a fourth season (i am not convinced there will be with this season's underwhelming shows) i am hoping you will save the show.

how about bringing back former winners to compete against each other.. like all-star-PR?
how about more famous people (like nikki hilton) to dress up.
how about getting different judges? i'm tired of tired nina.
how about having all the designers use the same material (a la the cotton challenge in season one) to even the field.

all i'm sayin' is that i'm watching Two A Days on MTV instead of PR these last few weeks b/c i'm bored with PR. (and Two A Days is a damn good show!) so, save the show... please... there's no hope left for this season obviously, but save it from going under next season.

meliblu wrote:

To Sharla: he only looks like Jim Morrison around the mouth, has that entire lion thing going around the mouth like Morrison, but without the dark glasses, nah. Not unless an original Rucker existed and this is a pod person imperfect copy of Morrison replacement. Besides, I just don't get the same dead Indians inside his soul sort of feel from any of Rucker's photos.

brendan wrote:

hey man-
I have a quick production question. i know your crazy busy this time of year but:

Why can't you guys push up the shooting schedule a couple weeks (and/or Bravo move up the airing dates a couple weeks) so that ONLY the top three designers show at Fashion Week? Having all four show their collection, including the decoy, really sort of affects tonights episode because we know that they're going there--and we know that THEY know they're going there--but the editing tries to make it seem like they don't.

the concept worked last year, but now the show is so big that almost everyone has read the reviews and seen the pictures of their collections. (which look pretty sweet, by the way.)

alright that's it.

I'm happy to see you don't bite your nails. Amazed actually.

Uh... Toyota makes the Prius.

50 mpg. No kidding!

I will miss your blog after the season ends... unless you magnanimously decide to keep doing it throughout the year??? *bats eyelashes*

I would love to hear/read your thoughts on the Prius!

Char wrote:

HAH! You know, as a bit of a runway geek, I had to say that I did not identify you on the runway at all. I remember thinking, "Who is that guy? He looks passing familiar, and yet..." It must've been that you were dropping Magnum on us plebs and we did not recognize! Congrats, and way to work it!

My life's been generally bland today. I just don't have anything to say recently. I guess it doesn't bother me. Basically nothing seems worth doing, but I don't care.

More or less nothing seems important. It's not important. Shrug. Whatever. I've just been hanging out doing nothing, but eh. I can't be bothered with anything lately.
