Or, Have You Ever Danced with Devil in the Pale Moonlight?
Since this week is the reunion episode, I don’t have much to write about. Basically, we brought all the designers back, they got together, they talked about fashion, Project Runway, dawgs, you know, no big whoop. Just Project Runway talk.
And oh yeah, I had a cameo in the reunion that found it’s home on the cutting room floor (though if you find the video blog, you can experience the LOST moment in all it’s mediocrity). I have to work on being less mediocre. Maybe I should buy a Tony Robbins book or a Richard Simmons CD.
Therefore, in lieu of a run-of-the-mill blog, I decided to let Andy Cohen of Andy’s Blog interview me* to fulfill my contraction obligation of giving “All Runway, All the Time” to the fans. (The last time Tim missed a blog, a pair of men sporting three-day stubble and Louisville Sluggers showed up at his door.) Watch out for that first step, people, it’s a doozy.
*And when I say I let “Andy interview me,” a better way of describing it is, I took Andy’s interview with Michael Knight, changed our last names and occupations and answered those questions like it was real interview.

Hey Rucker, lovely cameo of you duking it out with Vincent over laundry. Who knew he'd go Sopranos-style psycho over some freshly laundered clothes - most guys would have tackled you and rained kisses over your face for such an effort. Count yourself lucky, I guess. That might have "turned him on". (I cringed every time he said that... ew!) And thanks for the comparison of Laura to Hulk Hogan. As always, raising the bar on obscure cultural references. Touche, friend, touche.

Cameo on the cutting room floor? Wasn't that the back of Rucker I saw during Vincent's laundry rant? Good golly is that man nuts. Laura got it in one -- delusional. I think you could sue. Certainly looked like a "hostile work environment to me."

Oh Michael - how in the hell did you handle Vincent during his scream off at you regarding his laundry? I was watching and screaming "Oh my god! That's Rucker! That's the blog that I tell everyone about!" Great cameo. Also, I have a creeping suspicion that you put the books back into Keith Michael's room - you're kind of sneaky that way.

haha. i enjoyed your appearance on the show last night. some people have eyes in the back of their heads (backs of their head? where is william safire?), but you definitely had a barely-suppressed smile in the back of your head. THIS IS NOT FUNNY, MICHAEL. (yes it is.)

I just about shrieked with giddiness when I saw you reference not only Pee Wee, but also Monty Python. Thanks- From one dork to another.
by the way, did you see Santino's reference to you in Andy's blog? I never looked at your mouth (THAT way) until I read that...

The one thing that would have made the show perfect would have been to see you laughfing your ass off as the white coats dressed "HE CRAZY" in a straight coat. I am glad that your spot got left on the cutting room floor unless they were going to let you strangle the asshole.
I think we all were happy to see him making such an ass of himself because we were sick of him and so let down show after show that he did not get the AXE. Hopefully that is the last time we have to see him.
It would be nice to hear some of the other things that happened during the 7 hrs of taping. More videos of the cutting room floor would be good also.

Your cameo during Vincent's outburst was priceless. All day Thursday, I kept thinking about the shaking of your head and would laugh to myself. Great piece of editing by the producers/editing team. Little nuggets like that make the difference in a show. Great work. Also loved the Kayne word count.

Rucker. You're a riot. Thanks for being so consistently honest and entertaining.
And the fact that you're a mess is endearing and refreshing to the rest of us wandering around, revelling in our own states of mess-dom.
Cheers!

Michael,
Thank you for the fabulous video clips and a look behind the scenes. With the clips, I was able to understand and put in perspective some of the designer’s personalities.
Laura was right 'Vincent IS delusional'. You were a diplomat about his clothes. You listened and shrugged. The expression on your face told the whole story. As Kayne and Michael said "He is crazy". (He ought to be lucky; someone cleaned 'his dirty a### draws'. If he was so unhappy 'DO IT YOURSELF".
The scene with Kayne was funny. I just love him.
I am looking forward to next year!

The last time I read something by someone with the last name Rucker it involved geometry, relativity and the 4th dimension, or even the infinity of the mind. JUST A GUESS, but I'm thinking there's no relation to that guy (Rudy).

Just thought you should know that you need some kind of "don't drink anything while reading this" type of warning on the top of this blog. My laptop was in serious danger of getting a coke-bath more than once tonight.

Dear Michael,
I must say, this is the first time visiting this blog space/spot/site/whatev, and if it had not have been for your tiny cameo in the last show, or rather the Danzig shirt I'm (almost) sure you had on, I would have never read your blog... which i have just- so-happened to grow particularly fond of. So cheers to Danzig, The Smiths, and a dandy job you're doing with Project Runway/funny blogs/swell taste in music.
Onward and upward,
tori

f--ker why oh why did you have to pick on poor Vincent and Keith (because we all know it was you that put those terrible books in the room and ignored the all important "NOTE") that way?
Regardless of such evil deeds you have earned many kudos and much admiration for holding your ground in the wake of Demented V's own version of the wire hanger scene from Mommy Dearest.

Very funny.
I usually only see the Ruckercam bonus footage... but I thought I'd read some of your bloggie before I ran off to class.
I love how literal the use of Michael Knight's interview was.
dot dot dot
Well......... considering I don't know you, and you certainly don't know anything about me, I have really nothing else to type... and I need to get going to class-y... so... I guess byebyes.
But!
I must ask this question:
Do you know what the cow said to the llama after the llama yelled at the hippo?
♥ ya, Ruckie!

Rucker...you rock! So I'm watching the Reunion show (kinda boring, no booze in this mix, eh?) but then there you are taking the wrath of Vincent...laundry, the bane of modern life. All I could think was "hey, that's Rucker (pointing you out and going over your blogs to my 23 year old daughter...blah, blah) she was not impressed, said you looked as grungy as her brother and yup, upon closer inspection, it would appear to be true (hey, I am a kindred spirit to your Ma, she done good). Anyway, I loved the clip and it added a much needed alternative aspect to the retrospective clips. Maybe it is a good thing that there will be only one show a season...I think you guys need a retreat to reflect on the kudos you've earned, but seriously what a great show!! Come back next year and wow us.

Were you drunk when you wrote this blog, Rucker? Strangest blog yet. Vincent's rant was the most interesting part of the reunion special because otherwise, most boring reunion ever. Had to watch it in bits and pieces over quite a few rerunnings of the episode because it literally kept putting me to sleep no matter what time it was on. Hope you're sober on the next blog.
