MyDrift Gal says: Santino wins Project Runway tonight. (I only use the third person on special occasions.) That’s my official prediction. While I’ve been becoming more and more of a Santino supporter, I’ve become gradually less enthralled with the show itself. Perhaps I’m just ready for a new cast or a break from being glued to my television on Wednesdays.
Santino has been put through the ringer on the show. He clearly has one of the more interesting and animated personalities of the bunch, so it is only natural that he be so designed as a character. In the editing room, anything can happen; real Santino becomes television Santino. Last week someone wanted to show Santino’s human side, and that was a good thing, for him and the audience. Now I’ve been brought back to the way I felt when I first saw the teal muslin dress – that guy is good.
In his honor, here’s a look back at some of his inspiring words including his contribution to this site.

“Are you making space pants for me?…Because my ass is out of this world.”
“This garment was designed to come off.”

I’m glad you’re enjoying the show! What it is, is what it is….ENTERTAINMENT! Say what you will about me (Hypocrite et al) I still think you’re the greatest!
Much Love,
SANTINO

Santino was so entertaining and is so gifted. One night I was relaxing and watching the show, when he copied Tim. and I was laughing so hard I couldn’t catch my breath. Santino You are sooooo talented, so unique, and the ONLY one who took risks, didn’t get bogged down with opinions, and were delightful whimsical funnier than hell, and I would love to see more of you.
Santino, You should have YOUR OWN show. I hope you do, because I would watch it faithfully.
Your designs are exquisite. Look at the history…….You had the biggest, and very special Nicki Hilton, want to purchase the dress you designed. She was bored with everything up there but yours. You thought about her eye color, and WOW the work you do…..is absolutely incredible.
YOU ARE gifted so gifted…keep going ………….I will keep watching for your name all over the place. People want unique not boring vanilla, s–t.
Hugs,
