Chris From ‘Project Runway’ Gives Good (Lettuce) Head

Okay, okay, so Chris March and Christian Siriano’s couture dress on Project Runway last night was positively delicious.

Well, here’s a genuinely tasty blast-from-the-past video from the nymag.com archives featuring Chris’s work on a “Salad Fashion Show” for Wishbone Salad Dressings last May (click above to view). Witness as Chris chops a head of lettuce off its stalk moments before shoving it on a model’s hat. This guy was ready for Project Runway the day he was born.

Another one bites the dust

President Trump has fired Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, according to a letter from Mr. Trump obtained by CBS News. Atkinson handled the complaint from a whistleblower that led to Mr. Trump’s impeachment.

The letter from Mr. Trump was sent to Senators Richard Burr and Mark Warner, the heads of the Senate Intelligence Committee. It said Mr. Trump is “exercising my power as president” to remove Atkinson.

“It is extremely important that we promote the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of Federal programs and activities,” the letter said. But, the letter continued, it is “vital” that Mr. Trump have the “fullest confidence” in the Inspector General, and “that is no longer the case.”
