Maybe this will explain


"There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wondered very far
Very far
Over land and Sea
A little shy
And sad of eyes
But very wise
Was he

And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
And as we spoke of many things
Fools and Kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is Just to love
And be loved in return

The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved in return
"

Il y avait un garçon...
Un garçon enchanté très étrange.
Ils disent qu'il a erré très loin, très loin
Terre et mer finies,
Peu un timide et triste de l'oeil
Mais très sage était il.

Et puis un jour,
Un jour magique, il a passé ma manière.
Et tandis que nous parlions de beaucoup de choses,
Imbéciles et rois,
Ceci qu'il a dit à moi,
"la plus grande chose que vous apprendrez jamais
Est juste pour aimer et être a aimé dans le retour."

"la plus grande chose que vous apprendrez jamais
Est juste pour aimer et être a aimé dans le retour."


有男孩...
一個非常奇怪的被迷惑的男孩。
他們說他非常非常漫步了,
結束土地和海,
一少許害羞和哀傷眼睛
但非常明智的是他。

並且然後一天,
一魔術的天, 他通過了我的方式。
並且當我們講了話許多事,
傻瓜和國王,
這他對我說,
"您曾經將學會的最巨大的事
是正義的愛和被愛在回歸。"

"您曾經將學會的最巨大的事
是正義的愛和被愛在回歸。"

Ci era un ragazzo...
Un ragazzo incantato molto sconosciuto.
Dicono che ha vagato molto lontano, molto lontano
Terra e mare eccessivi,
Poco un timido e triste dell'occhio
Ma molto saggio era.

Ed allora un giorno,
Un giorno magico, ha passato il mio senso.
E mentre abbiamo parlato di molte cose,
Sciocchi e re,
Ciò che ha detto a me,
"la cosa che più grande impariate mai
È giusto amare ed essere amava nel ritorno."

"la cosa che più grande impariate mai
È giusto amare ed essere amava nel ritorno."


男の子が... あった
非常に奇妙な魅了された男の子。
彼らは彼が、非常にずっと非常にずっとさまよったことを言う
終わる土地および海、
目の少し内気のそして悲しい
しかし非常に賢かった彼は。

そして次に1 日、
魔法日、彼は私の方法を渡した。
そして私達が多くの事の話す間、
愚か者及び王、
彼が私に言ったこれ、
"あなたが学ぶ最も大きい事
リターンで愛し、愛されるためにある公正が。"

"あなたが学ぶ最も大きい事
リターンで愛し、愛されるためにある公正が。"

Había un muchacho...
Un muchacho encantado muy extraño.
Dicen que él vagó muy lejos, muy lejos
Tierra y mar excesivos,
Un poco tímido y triste de ojo
Pero muy sabio era él.

Y entonces un día,
Un día mágico, él pasó mi manera.
Y mientras que hablamos de muchas cosas,
Tontos y reyes,
Esto que él dijo a mí,
"la cosa más grande que usted aprenderá siempre
Es justo amar y ser amó en vuelta."

"la cosa más grande que usted aprenderá siempre
Es justo amar y ser amó en vuelta."

I love Moulin Rouge too, and cried like a baby from the sheer beauty the first time I saw it.

I think you're wonderful, and I appreciate your gracious attitude towards everyone, as well as your sly humor.

I'm rooting for you, darling.

"At night the watchmen of the city say, "Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east."

And at noontide the toilers and the wayfarers say, "we have seen her leaning over the earth from the windows of the sunset."

In winter say the snow-bound, "She shall come with the spring leaping upon the hills."

And in the summer heat the reapers say, "We have seen her dancing with the autumn leaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair."

All these things have you said of beauty.

Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,

And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.

It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,

But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. "
~Kahlil Gibran

Oh Malan. I'm so sorry. You will be sorely missed.

You're such a dear person. I hope that you will be showered with love wherever you go.

All the best,

OH sweetheart! We've all died in the livejournal "projectrunway" community! A few people have actually left because they were so upset that you left! A lot of us feel there is no longer any reason to watch. We will miss you and your beautiful designs.

Malan-I am so disappointed that you were voted off of Project Runway...not dissappointed in you, you are wonderful!!! I'm disappointed that the judges have such narrow vision...I'm sending you a mental hug...you are a great designor and I'm sure there are great things ahead for you...take care

Malan, can we hang out sometime?

You are and will always be enchanting and adored. I do not like PR for taking you away but thank them for bringing you to the world. Please stay in touch, I was smiling and had a skip in my step today over something you said and you are a loss to this season's PR they were not correct. Thank you for being who you are.

Unless the world has completely gone to the dogs (which may, at this rate, be so), someone with vision and talents such as yours should go far. No matter what the judges say, the public is behind you. Good luck.

My dear Malan,

Moulin Rouge is one of the most tragic movies I have ever seen, "Nature Boy" is one of the most tragic songs I have ever heard, and seeing you leave Project Runway tonight was one of the most tragic reality television moments I have ever known.

I wish the world were populated with men of your entrancing style and savoir faire. It is my fervent wish that this is not the last it has seen of Malan Breton.

Even in musician-devoted message boards, your departure is being lamented. As you were far and away the favorite, there are many, many of us who aren't going to enjoy the current season without your charming persona.


(still keeping our fingers crossed that you'll make a surprise re-appearance...)

I just wanted to let you know that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I am so sorry! You are such an amazing designer and an amazing person on top of that! My PR buddies and I let out noises of the most agonizing shock.

I did want to spend more time thinking about what to say, but I couldn't wait. Good luck in all you do. I know you'll do wonderfully!

PR won't be the same without you.

I'm jealous of your ability to write in so many languages!

I'm sad that you didn't move further on PR, but I'm sure you have as many interesting things lined up for you in the future ... I would love to see your films.

Oh no! My heart is broken.
You are such a delight and so fascinating. I hope you make reappearances...

Fusbol, I agree, the famous producer vote probably kicked in to keep the "witch" to burn later. Wretched.

Malan, you had people crying along with you across America last night.

May this just be the start of a life filled with the love and friendship that you seek. You deserve it.

I think the producers wanted to punish him because he turned them down before on the previous season, seems like a bitchy thing to do. I am just guessing of course... but the show seems less fun now, one of the creative fires has gone out and the brightest color in the rainbow of this cast is gone. Angela seems like a nice enough person but to choose her over him in this case?? Yes something is "up" and it feels dishonest to me...

(That movie is brilliant.)

I really would have liked to see more of your designs; you really were one of the most interesting personalities of all three seasons.

Rest assured that you looked nothing but refreshing and impressive tonight. Honestly.

All the best.

I am crushed, horrified, stunned, pissed and bewildered that Angela is still on the show. Yes, I know this is past for you, but as a viewer, I don't have that yet. I reeled last night, threw my remote across the room, slammed my television off button manually and stalked off to bed. Even my cat stayed away from me, it was that bad. I will definitely be looking for your creations, and I'm very happy you're in New York, my hometown. So many people have left me for L.A., Florida, Seattle, Rome, Montreal, Greece...I feel alone. This city is better with you in it, no matter how much travel you do. Stay here! I was just beginning to delight in your mischievous manner and devilish grin and now....whom shall I root for? They totally wrecked it with this decision. I'm bereft, and hope to see more of your dazzlement (a NEW word! Voila) very soon. Je t'embrasse, kashiwena

Malan,

I am so happy to see all of the kind, supportive, appreciative people who have posted here and on your MySpace page. I like imagining you curled somewhere reading all the love, sipping something and smiling.

I know many of us are curious about your upbringing - where you've lived and what you've done. Maybe you could write a little autobiographical post at some point for all of us who are so interested in you and the sources of your inspiration?

I also post at TWoP, and many of us are clinging to the hope that when one of the other designers is ousted, the producers will bring you back in that person's place. Or that they'll bring you back next season, a la Daniel Franco, for another shot. I fervently hope that we'll see you in the process of designing again. It was fascinating!

You're such a dear person. I wish many lovely things for you.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE MOULIN ROUGE!

My whole room in red and decorated like Satine's elephant!

I'm so sad you had to go, you didn't deserve it!
