Oh my! That's exciting indeed. Crazy that she was on the auction and won it! I guess she can afford the $3,000 for it

The man in the photo looks like Craig Ferguson.

I didn't even know Paula was a Project Runway fan! That dress is amazing.

Wow, congrats to Rami! I had the fortune to see the dress in person in New York (at the Hershey store) two weeks ago. It was great!

Congratulations Rami, looks like good things happen to good people.

That's insane that celebrities are watching Project Runway, I mean I knew it was big, but to go and bid on the design? That is awesome!
Paula is great! Ya Know, Bravo really hit it with this show. I see why they're doing Season 5.
Funny it's sort of like a meeting between reality shows American Idol and Project Runway. LOL.
Congrats Rami! That is very very flattering.

Err, make that Craig Ferguson!

Paula's taste in singers in questionable, but her taste in designers is fabulous. Go Rami!

Celebrities and designers go hand in hand.

When I first saw this picture I figured she was wearing a dress by Christian Siriano. I stopped loving it when I found out it was one of Rami's ripped-off designs.

TPS, the mini dress is from Rami's 2006 collection. Check it out on his website. It was done way before Christian or Project Runway.

TPS, Paula Abdul appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live of 5/15/2007 - before Season 4 was even filmed. The dates on are the internet.
*giggle*

Congrats Rami!

Sounds like a match made in heaven...or hell. Hee-hee.
HungsMonkey | 03.19.08 - 8:55 pm | #

So, is she gonna wear the Hershey's dress on Idol????

Probably won't be allowed b/c of Bravo being a competitor....but it would be cool, no?
HeatherLee | 03.20.08 - 5:18 am | #

LOL.... the dress was designed before Christian was even born.. Don't hate!
Congratulations Rami, you are and will be the most successful of the bunch

It is very clear!

I saw on Rami Kashou's myspace slideshow Lindsay Lohan wearing the same dress in black with 3/4 sleeves back in 2006!

Go Rami!

Ha! The words "Rami" and "ripped-off" do not go together. The words "Christian Siriano" and "ripped-off" on the other hand...

I'm anxiously awaiting photo evidence of this one.

Congratulations Rami!!!!!!!
You should have won PR, from what your designs sold for at the auction it only shows what the public wants. You are a amazing designer. Good things happen to good people. Best of luck in the future. I'm sure we will be seeing you at Fashion Week again.

You're truly PR's real breakout superstar, we love love ya, baby.
True, you had the celebs wearing your clothes before PR, but now, non celebs who don't have stylists looking for clothes for them will know that your designs are exactly what a chic woman needs, women in their 20's on up would look divine in your vision for what women should be wearing. No offense to Christian (good kid), but Posh Spice's taste is so in the minority, and would look a travesty on any figure that's not gaunt and stick thin.

Marry me Rami! xo

Paula Abdul bought Rami's candy dress??? That is crazy fun!
