Tonight was a big night with big decisions: Do I watch the presidential debate, or do I watch the highly anticipated season finale of Project Runway?

It was a difficult choice, but I did both. And after almost 3 hours of TV, my ass is asleep.

The season finale of PR was the same as always: model castings, dog poop, rushed and stressed designers backstage, “OH MY GOD THIS IS MY MOMENT”s, and then the big show.

When the main event finally arrived I got a little excited (although that could have just been the effects of the obscene amounts of coffee I chugged to make it through the night). I was really pulling for Korto - she was my favorite all along - but couldn’t wait to see what Leanne marched down the super-long runway. And, maybe, I was curious about Kenley’s collection.

And for the first time all season I was not disappointed. (If you opted for the debate, you can catch the collections here.)

The collections were all really beautiful, even Kenley’s. Each designer came through in their own unique way and I actually found myself saying (out loud!), “I’d wear that!” “I’d totally wear that!” “OMG I NEED TO BUY THAT OFF OF BLUEFLY.” (The product placement worked!)

Warning: Spoiler after the jump. I repeat: spoiler after the jump!

VS.

Today is a big day. Not only is it Hump Day and National Grouch Day, but it also happens to be the final presidential debate before the election and the season finale (not to mention last episode ever to run on Bravo!) of Project Runway!

Ahhh! Too much in one night.

What is a girl to do? Obviously, the debate is important; we want to be informed voters, right? And being that the election is only like 4ish weeks away, we need all the information we can get. But, we’ve put so much precious time into watching every last episode of Project Runway (which was difficult considering how crappy the season has been!), so how can we throw in the towel now?

And it’s not like we can flip back and forth between the two events during commercials - the damn debate doesn’t have any! And both the debate and Project Runway are far too important to DVR and just “catch later.” Some people seem to think there is a way to do it all, but that is just risky; you could miss some major talking points/uneven hemlines!

So which is it gonna be? The last and most important debate, or the hot mess that will be Kenley’s line comin’ down that runway? (Don’t worry; we won’t judge.)

Next to Welcome Week, NY Fashion Week is our favorite week of the year. We may actually like it more, but only because we can remember what happened/don’t feel like total hell at the end of it.What could be better than watching our favorite designers send their newest duds down the runway? And what better way to spend our days than by taking all those delectable looks and figuring out ways to make them our own?

Ooo wee! We get so excited just thinking about it.

This year’s fashion week did not dissapoint. Everyone from Nanette Lepore to The Gap pulled out all the stops and sent some brilliant looks through the tents at Bryant Park. We sifted through every last collection (yes, our lives are sad and horribly difficult) to bring you our favorites of Fashion Week 2008. Sure, actually being at the shows next to Anna Wintour and Rachel Zoe would have been glamorous and awesome, but we got to do this in our PJs.

Which is how we roll.
And wouldn’t want it any other way.
