I saw it coming, but it didn't make it any less painful.<br />First we'll start with an episode rundown.<br />Carol Hannah is a train wreck. Vomiting, weeping, whatever happened to baby jane crazytown. Somehow she snaps out of it around the time they do hair and makeup consultations.<br />Tim expresses concerns about Irina and Althea having a similar messy smoky eye on the runway. Irina says "That's Althea." That bitch still thinks that Althea is copying her because hey both do knits and a smoky eye? Seriously? That's like saying she copied her because they both used red fabric (if only - more like all black). Everybody does a smoky eye. The grand irony here:<br /><a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/11/irinas_project_runway_shirt_kn.html">nymag.com/irina used another copyright for her shirts like a true ho</a><br />That's right, after being told she was using a copyrighted image for her first t shirt design, she writes out "reasons I love New York" lifted straight out of NY Mag 2008 Reasons to Love New York list.<br />Plus, she was outsmarted by a hotel deadbolt.<br /><br />Tim was more upset than I've ever seen him before the show started. They must have really been running behind. Unprofesh.<br /><br />The other worst part of the show...The designers introducing their collections. <br />Althea was the worst I've ever seen. Wearing Ugg Boots, it was like a spontaneous drunk wedding toast more than a practiced/professional introduction. Irina's was also bad. <br /><a href="http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/02/20/project-runway-2/">ew's coverage of Project Runway finale when it happened in Feb</a> <br />I found out after the fact that the designers did not introduce their collections to the crowd or appear on the runway. That was all tv editing. They actually introduced their collections to an empty house before their shows started. I don't know whether that makes the results better or worse. They were probably distracted, and definitely not trying to impress anyone...but they can't blame it on nervousness from public speaking. I'm upset that the show decided not to address this situation at all. They certainly had the time during a protracted legal battle...<br /> <br />The guest judge:<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzy_Menkes">Suzy Menkes</a><br />It's mean but I have to say it, she's a hot Mrs. Doubtfire-esque mess. That hairstyle!<br /><br />So here's the runway:<br /><br />Althea<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img

Althea's green dress, CH's long black/maybe purple? satiny gown and her teal 13th look dress. That's it.<br />I felt instantly when the runway was finished that Irina would win, no contest. Did I particularly love or want any of her pieces? No.<br />However, she was the only one who had a connective thread and brought drama to the runway. I think she was incredibly stupid to do another black piece for her 13th look. I am not interested in her future career in the slightest.<br />I prefer Carol Hannah two the other two designers. I love some of her stuff, but did not enjoy the tulle barrel skirt or the teal barber's cape. I think she was trying too hard to be "edgy."<br /><br />I was annoyed that they did let's meet the judges twice. <br /><br />This may be a familiar rant, but I feel compelled to make it. I think that as the show has gone on, the execution quality of garments has skyrocketed in inverse proportion to creativity. I believe that the competition to be a part of the show increasing has done a great disservice to PR. When the contestants consisted of talented amateurs, we got people with ideas that were out there, who hadn't necessarily already worked in the industry or had classical training and fashion schooling and didn't know the "rules." That meant they weren't constrained by the can and can'ts of the fashion industry, but only by their own imaginations. I think taking PR pro was a huge mistake, and I can only hope they end up with a professional wunderkind who hasn't had success - which seems farfetched. <br /><br />They mean it when they say that this was the most talented crop of designers yet, but what do they have to show for it? Nothing but lackluster already seen before garments. No bold statements. Certainly nothing I would rush out to buy. <br />Leanne was more creative than all three of these women put together.Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898189712936329809.post-42793184288100222812009-11-13T16:25:00.000-08:002009-11-13T17:54:25.074-08:00Finale Part 1To kick off this pseudo-episode, Heidi met with the designers on the runway to tell them about their final challenge: creating a 12 piece collection for Bryant Park with $9000 and several months.<br />This was followed up by a hilariously awkward dance between Heidi and Tim in silhouette behind the runway. Heidi dances like a freak and Tim was obviously generally uncomfortable dancing - so it made a delicious combination.<br /><br />Tim journeyed out five weeks before Fashion Week to check on the progress of the three designers.<br />First stop = Huntington, NY to see Carol Hannah. She has been working out of a friend's house. <br />I was unsurprised to learn that CH was an awkward child, but was surprised to see her classic and beautiful mother. She should give her daughter some grooming tips!<br />Seeing Tim Gunn say "I love a kitchen" and making biscuits in a apron was worth the price of admission.<br /><br />Next up was a trip to Upper East Side Manhattan to see Irina. I was actually surprised at the size of her apartment considering her entitled princess attitude...but maybe that's her prop sympathy workroom apartment rented just for PR?<br />She does have a lapdog named Princess. *barfs in mouth*<br />Tim tells her to make sure her collection doesn't looked forced. Impossible!<br />Everything about her is contrived and forced. The only thing I actually believed coming out of her mouth this episode was about her mother. I think she actually loves someone besides herself, which I would have thought impossible prior to this episode. I was forced to throw up in my mouth again when Tim went after-school special on us and said "Regardless of the outcome, Irina is already a winner."<br />Then her mom riffed on them being winners for having a daughter like her and I went into a diabetic coma. Lifetime, what have you done to Project Runway?!<br /><br />Next Tim heads to Dayton, Ohio to drop in on Carol Hannah. From the dangerous looking warehouse elevator to the street scenes of life in Ohio, I have now been convinced that I never want to go there.<br />What a love letter to OH from the producers of PR. I think it reads:<br /><br />Ohio. It blows.<br /><br />Althea was mind-meltingly stupid during this visit. She vaguely stated that she was inspired by sci-fi movies without any elaboration. She told Tim she wanted to be a designer because she always loved art and drawing...the end. She seems to have no depth at all. Maybe she's just camera shy and terse, but I get the impression she's an Amazon-sized rube.<br /><br />The producers decide not to inform Irina that her stupid trademarked design Coney Island t's are out until 10 days before fashion week to up the drama. She frets and decides to replace them with an equally as stupid/stupider t of her own design.<br /><br />I loved the amazingly incredible awkwardness in the hotel suite after Irina and Althea exchanged a faux-warm greeting. The tension was palpable. <br /><br />Then Tim arrives to tell the girls about CH's terrible contagious stomach virus. The girls react with barely contained glee. Irina says she feels truly bad - complete shit. At least Althea acknowledges that they can't really be upset about the competition taking knocks.<br /><br />Against all odds, Carol Hannah shows up in the workroom the next day, telling the other girls she was up barfing all night. My husband says she looks better when she's sick. I think she had her hair done for fashion week - huge improvement.<br /><br />Nina and Michael come in to give advice. Seemingly without seeing any of the girl's work - Nina makes an "innocent" comment about how an all black collection is difficult to pull off and Irina gets her back up about Nina being wrong. B---h, whether she's wrong or right, you do realize that she's judging you right?<br /><br />As usual, the designers have a last minute challenge sprung on them. They are to create a thirteenth look to fit in with their collection. Logan, Christopher, and Gordana show up to lend a hand.<br /><br />In a horrible stunt to try to convince people to watch the abomination known as Models of the Runway, the producers decide to let the "Muse models" cast the models for the thirteenth look. You know they are going to pick models fatter, uglier, and/or older than themselves so that they can look better. *sigh*<br /><br />Althea gets first pick and snatches up Logan. Irina gets Gordana, and CH is stuck with Chris. He may be doomed to be rejected by PR and also be given a small-pox blanket (in the form of a hug and partnership with stomach virus of doom CH).<br /><br />Why Althea didn't pick Gordana - who is obviously the best seamstress, is beyond me. <br /><br />They are given the requisite sketch time and $250 for the NY Mood.<br /><br />As promised, the episode ends in CH toilet jockeying. If only there had been more actual vomit and less schlocky vomit-inducing moments... <br />Althea tries to help by putting an ice pack on the back of her neck. Who does that? Is that a thing?<br /><br />I am concerned. Although much was saved for the finale, what I did see of the designers collections was very underwhelming. I'm not holding out much hope of loving these collections.Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898189712936329809.post-46523980300112525102009-11-06T13:17:00.000-08:002009-11-06T15:27:36.232-08:00Art School ConfidentialThis runway episode is the last challenge. Heidi makes a crack about views and I yell Getty at the t.v. and hedge my bets with "or Hollywood sign".<br />The designers think it's a sign of how very serious Project Runway is - with LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa showing up to welcome them to the Getty challenge. <br />Whereas I, being a (somewhat cynical) realist, realize that it's nothing more than our second-rate mayor being a media whore.<br />Tim G. takes the five remaining designers on a 30 minute tour of the Getty. It's <br />all rainbows and sunshine as the designers find their inspirations.<br />The designers are given 30 minutes to sketch and are transported to Mood for their last visit.<br /><br />Chris is still doing his Cinderella routine - I can't believe someone like ME is HERE.<br />Everyone has paired up and Althea is the odd Amazon out.<br /><br />Tim was cracking me up this episode. Calling Irina's goat cape "roadkill" and her look "a post-apocalyptic moment" and then that delightful cackle.<br />Plus, there was that hilarious crack about Nina's stilettos shooting off her feet.<br /><br />Gordana is super emotional about Monet and her dress, appealing to the audience on a spiritual level. I like Monet as much as the next guy, but Monet is so bland as an inspiraiton - pure gift shop material. His paintings fall perfectly in line with meek Gordana's grey aesthetic.<br /><br />"I'm here for the final challenge, how many can say that?"<br />Um, 5?<br /><br />Chris describes himself as a designer - "pretty but kinda dirty."<br />Me - "good ideas, but messy results"<br /><br />Althea was so busy shooting laser beams out of her eyes at Irina she stabbed her model with a pin - poor thing, she barely missed a vital organ.<br /><br />The judges this week:<br />Cynthia Rowley<br />Nina Garcia<br />Cindy Crawford (gorgeous)<br /><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Althea<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep12/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep12-rr-althea-fJPG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep12/pr6-ep12-rr-althea-fJPG.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep12/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep12-rr-althea-bJPG.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep12/pr6-ep12-rr-althea-bJPG.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Inspiration = Getty Center Architecture:<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep12/?action=view¤t=gettyarchitecture.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep12/gettyarchitecture.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Very messy.

The color and the back are nice. The dress as a whole is a big fail. It looks more like a bad gypsy costume than a lounging Grecian goddess.<br /><br />The designers are asked to defend themselves and choose the three who should go on to Bryant Park.<br />Irina chooses Althea and Gordana<br />Gordana chooses Chris and Irina<br />Chris chooses Carol Hannah and Irina<br />Althea chooses Carol Hannah and Irina<br />Carol Hannah chooses Chris and Althea<br />Breakdown:<br />Everyone thinks Irina should go except Carol Hannah. Three think Chris should go to BP(not Althea or Irina - the two hardest chicks in the competition), three think Carol Hannah should go to BP(not Irina or Gordana), three think Althea should go to BP(not Gordana or Chris - the emotional ones who think they should go in her place - sensing weakness), and two think Gordana should go (I'm counting the designers - who want themselves to go through - as a vote; aka no one thinks she should go except herself and her best buddy Irina who obviously wants to pick off the steeper competition).<br /><br />I must be getting too jaded, because Christopher's emotional I am the algae covered rocks speech did not get me. I think it got my husband a little though. heh.<br />Anyways, I think Chris is the biggest girl left in the competition and his crying and belly-aching was starting to give me Ricky deja vu (that's a BAD thing).<br /><br />I love how Irina's Oscar speech about how she is a poor immigrant who is struggling was so hollow and rehearsed. She is obviously rich and overpriviledged, why not just say she deserves it on merit alone instead of insulting everyone's intelligence with her poor acting. She was not emotional at all on learning she had made it. She obviously expected it. Bitch.<br />At least Carol Hannah was gratified.<br /> <br />Thoughts:<br />I think Gordana and Christopher were the deserving parties to be sent home and that both should not have made it this far. I can't say I'm very excited about seeing the final collections with the pool left though. I would choose Carol Hannah as my favorite among the ladies, but I have no strong sentiments - other than a hope to see a lot of vomit in the next episode.<br /><br />My pick for the winner, final collections sight unseen:<br />Carol Hannah<br />PS-Please stop doing smoky eye and bedhead, you look like you just rolled out of the gutter.Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898189712936329809.post-28172616434048205292009-10-30T11:46:00.000-07:002009-10-30T13:09:35.422-07:00Logan's RunWe're down to 6 designers this week: 4 girls and 2 boys left. It's almost over, and I must say I'm relieved at the prospect of getting a new crop of designers. This group has been disappointing to me.<br />This week's challenge: Create a companion piece for your best look. They seemed to indicate that the designers did not get to choose their best look, with the turn around reveal. All of them had challenge-winning looks on the stage except Logan, whose look was selected from the first challenge where Christopher won.<br />I don't dislike the remaining designers' best looks - but does anyone notice how colorless and monochromatic they are? I want some vibrant color. I'll die if the Bryant Park shows are all brown and black.<br />They are given time to sketch - I swear I heard a lot of talk about pants, but only one pair showed up in the end, and then $100 in Mood money.<br />Irina claims to be good at spending money - no surprise there. <br /><br />They all head back to the work room and Gordana does a tension monologue. Suddenly, the tension orchestra cues and all the close-ups show agonized faces. It's easy to create tension through editing, isn't it crappy production company?<br /><br />Then the producers kick into a humble beginnings theme for the bottom two designers. Logan does the born in humble Idaho routine and Gordana blows him out of the water with her Bosnian/Serbian border number. No wonder he lost.<br /><br />While Logan works on his outfit, Althea and Irina are kicking it high school mean girls style, eating In & Out and talking gossipy smack on him. <br />Since when is anyone friends with Irina? <br />Obviously, big mistake since Irina turns on Althea a few hours later in front of the judges.<br /><br />Althea is the first to identify the Logan effect and says of Logan "He thinks because he's cute he can do whatever he wants." Maybe she broke the spell?<br />I'm sure it didn't help him that the judges/producers had to reflect on the designer's past work product for this challenge - he doesn't really have anything worth a second look.<br /><br />Irina turns on Althea calling her "insane and drunk" for copying her knitwear in her Aspen look.<br /><br />The judges this week:<br />Nick Verreos (from Season 2 of Project Runway aka the good ol days)<br />Nina Garcia<br />Kerry Washington<br /><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Althea<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep11-althea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/pr6-ep11-althea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep11-althea-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/pr6-ep11-althea-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />BEST LOOK (episode 4):<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-althea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-althea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />That either of these won boggles my mind. Really. I think the paper bag waist is a sloppy style. I think the new look is crazy bag lady sloppy with that shapeless sweater.

I get the feeling every time I see one of her designs that it would make the average woman look like a fat Russian prostitute (aka Mariah Carey) but is only saved by the coat hanger model frame. Plus, she's a bitch.<br /><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=LoganNeitzel.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/LoganNeitzel.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Logan<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep11-logan-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/pr6-ep11-logan-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep11-logan-f-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep11/pr6-ep11-logan-f-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />BEST LOOK (also episode 1):<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep1/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep1-rr-logan-fatma-foriginal.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep1/pr6-ep1-rr-logan-fatma-foriginal.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I kinda liked it.

"Right now it's just me me me." As opposed to the rest of the time when he's off doing humanitarian projects for the Peace Corps.<br />Heidi doesn't make a stupid pun or come on this episode about the challenge...though she does mislead. She tells the designers they're headed to Rodeo Dr to meet a world renowned designer. All true except they've already met him; much more accurate to say meet WITH.<br />When she announces this, everyone has stars in their eyes and will only be disappointed when they get old hat Kors, even if he is a fabulous hat.<br />Kors, or the editor of this episode, might have been drunk because he made an "encouraging" statement that really didn't make logical sense. <br />"Whether real or imaginery I wanna see what kind of fabulous outfits you're gonna come up with." Was he inviting an emperor's new clothes scenario? How can you have an imaginary outfit? All of the places of inspiration were real, so it can't be an imaginary place...*scratches head*.<br /><br />The challenge:<br />Choose a location that embodies who you are as a designer and the locale.<br /><br />The designers are given 30 minutes to sketch and a $150 budget at Mood.<br />Then the usual boring workroom stress and Irina bitching about everyone being less talented than her.<br /><br />The judges:<br />Michael Kors<br />Nina Garcia<br />Milla Jovovich<br />The family is all back together! I was beginning to think that MK and Nina Garcia were Superman/Clark Kent.<br />I loved that everyone genuinely responded to Kors' greeting and Nina's faux enthusiasm was met with a few half-hearted grunts.<br />My husband commented that Milla J was the first nice judge they've had. He doesn't watch them all, but she did have a special something. She seemed very enthusiastic and kind.<br /><br />Althea<br />St. Tropez<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-althea-f_0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-althea-f_0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Plain but nice.

The belt is great. I looked at it and I was warm towards it, yet felt dubious. I realize that it's the proportions that bugged me. It looks like a hourglass - and not the flattering, sexy hourglass. More like two triangles that are horizontal reflections of each other. It's quite unflattering.<br /><br />Gordana<br />New York<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=GordanaGehlhausen.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/GordanaGehlhausen.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-gordna-f_0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-gordna-f_0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-gordna-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-gordna-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Great top, but I'm not loving the dress. the puckering of the fabric and the bulge on the model's ass make it look a little messy. I think for me it's just a personal style issue. I wouldn't wear something like that and I don't really admire it.<br /><br />Irina<br />Aspen<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=IrinaShabayeva.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/IrinaShabayeva.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-irina-f_0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-irina-f_0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-irina-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-irina-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I kinda like it, but it reads really bitchy and the monochromatic color scheme is so boring. How awesome would it look if that sweater were a royal blue or some jewel tone. Her color choices are always so yawn-inducing.

Like Gamer!<br />The LOGAN EFFECT is in full effect, though Milla Jovovich seems immune. Is it because she was engineered by Umbrella Corp? Maybe it's just that actors learn to discount physical beauty since they see a lot more of it than us mere mortals.<br /><br />Nicolas<br />Greece (I love how all of the rest of the locations are cities and this is a friggin country. Guess they thought the typical American wouldn't know a city in Greece.)<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=NicolasPutvinski.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/NicolasPutvinski.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-nicolas-f_0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-nicolas-f_0.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/?action=view¤t=pr6-rr-nicolas-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep10/pr6-rr-nicolas-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I actually agree with Milla. I like the top. The sleeves I could take of leave, but the torso reminds me of Herve Leger. The pants are a fugly fail.<br /><br />I've decided that Christopher should be an accessories designer. This is his second fabulous belt.<br />Heidi tells Gordana she needs confidence and Gordana bows her head and mumbles okay. What an on-the-nose response!<br />Heidi begins with "The Rest of You"<br />and I imagined her going: You're all out. <br />and felt good. It would have been just. Everyone is just so boring.<br /><br />Still, I felt that Christopher was acknowledging that he is lucky to have survived as long as he had and had made his peace with his impending Auf. I was shocked to see Nicolas go over him, though I feel both departures were inevitable. Both certainly deserved their bottom status this week.<br /><br />Bryant Park 3:<br />1. Althea<br />2.

He seemed genuinely enthusiastic, unlike most PR guests, and very happy.<br />The way the footage was edited from beaming Nicolas to Mackie, it seemed like the Feather Prince and the Sultan of Sequins were having a moment there.<br />After the Mackie reveal, the designers discover that they will be making a stage look for Christina Aguilera.<br />They are given 30 minutes to sketch, 2 days to construct their garment, and a $300 budget at Mood.<br />The workroom looks like Vegas threw up on it when the designers get back from Mood.<br />Tim comes in and slams Shirin: "looks like student work."<br />Irina follows up: "I don't see her as a designer"<br />But Nicolas gets the last word, calling Irina a bitch. If the bitchy feather prince is calling you a bitch...<br />I think Gordana had a nervous breakdown. She was really in off-her-meds lunatic territory. It's weird because she had immunity.<br /><br />The judges:<br />Bob Mackie<br />Nina Garcia (notice that when she comes back, the designers are not happy or excited as when Kors returned)<br />Christina Aguilera<br /> <br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Althea<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep9/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep9-rr-althea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep9/pr6-ep9-rr-althea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep9/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep9-rr-althea-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep9/pr6-ep9-rr-althea-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I'm not really feeling it.

Not only did it have a creepy tone that seemed to glorify divorce more than empower divorcees, but once again there was a lack of clear winning designs and a lot of crap.<br />The challenge was to convert an old wedding dress into a fashionable look for divorced women. <br />Instantly after model selection, Shirin starts her tiny woman whinefest. "I got nothing to work with", life is unfair...blah blah blah. Does she know how many picks Epperson got selected last? He needs to tell Shirin to man up. <br />Ironically, in the midst of her complaining, tears, and generally tired dramatics she said "I'm such a strong person." If you SAY so...<br />Tim came through and announced that the winner of this challenge will be granted immunity for next week and that this is the last opportunity for immunity in the competition. He elicits a round of groans when he lets everyone know this is a one day challenge.<br />The divorcees come in and consult. Nothing out of the ordinary except Shirin's make me a feathered Cher costume woman and Nicolas' crazy hippie (maybe they should've switched? Shirin's lady needed a feather prince).<br />The designers did get a trip to Mood with a budget of $25 for up to 2 yards of fabric and anything else they needed.<br /><br />The judges this week:<br />Michael Kors (still back)<br />Zanna Roberts<br />Tamara Mellon (she was basically not present as far as I can recall)<br /><br />Althea<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep8-althea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/pr6-ep8-althea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep8-althea-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/pr6-ep8-althea-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I don't think the idea is bad, it almost seems cute on first glance, but it's like the leaning tower of Pisa.

That's really all I can say for it. I'm about to be cruel now, but only because Chris' client said she was an actress. I'm sure she could get work - but only as a transvestite. She looks like a man (Iggy Pop, in fact). She had her hair and makeup professionally done and it did nothing! This has no bearing on the ugly dress though.<br /><br />Epperson<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=Epperson.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Epperson.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep8-epp-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/pr6-ep8-epp-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep8-epp-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep8/pr6-ep8-epp-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I totally see what the judges were saying, but I thought the dress wasn't ugly.

She teased the designers with the enigmatic (and factually incorrect) "this next challenge with be quite...colorful." Shirin made another stupid supposition wondering if the challenge will be sewing colorful parachutes together. If only!<br />Tim is paired with another sponsor tie-in bot: Martine Reardon from Macy's corporate marketing. The timing is unfortunate considering the current news buzz about the possible bankruptcy of Macy's. <br />The designers are informed that they must use the color blue and design a piece for Macy's INC brand. Wow, what an interesting challenge! *eyeroll*<br />Martine gives her company the ultimate backhanded compliment by stating that the "best thing abot this brand [INC] is it's only available at Macy's." <br />I wholeheartedly agree with her. I would be pretty bummed out if I ran into INC in other places, since (in my opinion) it's a shitty, overpriced brand. <br />The designers are also informed that this is a team challenge and that the winner does not have immunity this week. Unsurprisingly, the results or this challenge were grossly mediocre.<br />There was some Nicolas talking smack on Louise, Epperson talking smack on Q, Tim talking smack on leggings (couldn't agree more), and Nicolas talking about how much he hates ruffles.<br />Maybe ruffles hate YOU, Nicolas.

I don't like stripes, but I think the top is overexposed, it makes the model looks fat, and the hem is an awkward length. I know that the choices this week were few and everything was pretty boring/ugly (but hey, so is the INC brand in general) but I was kinda flabbergasted by the judges gushing over this. <br />I thought Gordana's top looked nice on tv, but I really think it looks cheap in these stills. <br /><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=LouiseBlack.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/LouiseBlack.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=NicolasPutvinski.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/NicolasPutvinski.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Louise and Nicolas<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep7-nicolas-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/pr6-ep7-nicolas-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep7-nicolas-b-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/pr6-ep7-nicolas-b-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep7-louise-f-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/pr6-ep7-louise-f-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep7-louise-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep7/pr6-ep7-louise-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Both suck. <br /><br />So, quite unfathomably, Irina won - her prize: to design an INC holiday dress for select Macy's stores.

What a cheap, tacky-crap ho "dress". I hate it. Perfect for INC.<br /><br />Heidi was unusually cruel this week and I felt a bit bad for Louise and weepy Chris. Louise was the right choice to be aufed, and I did delight in Heidi telling Nicolas he was lucky he had immunity for the 10th time. Heh heh.<br /><br />The wheels in my head have been turning, as the designers get whittled down, about a certain gentleman by the name of Logan. Here is my "Logan Hypothesis".<br />Logan is PR kryptonite. As far as I recall, he is the first HOT STRAIGHT MALE the show has EVER had as a contestant. Please tell me if I am wrong on this. <br />What this means: all of the women are in love with him (and think they might have a chance since he's supposed to be straight), all of the men are in love with him (because let's face it, he's the ONLY straight guy in front of the camera) and think that he might be a closet gay - or at least bi (because how many straight male fashion designers are there?). What does this mean? NO ONE wants to get rid of him. He has never been in the bottom, despite never making anything interesting. One guest judge (at least) has hit on him. I think he will skate all the way to Bryant Park, if not win, on raw sexuality alone. But I guess we have to watch what happens...<br /><br />Top 3<br />1. Logan<br />2. Carol Hannah<br />3.

Tim and Collier Strong(yes, the man who has the stage presence of Lasagna, but keeps getting force fed to us - I wish he TASTED like Italian)... <br />Hmm...that sounds dirty.<br />Anyways, Tim and Collier present this week's challenge - Creating a look inspired by a movie genre. Tim has a pile of cards with five genres: Film Noir (3 cards), and two cards each of Sci Fi, Western, Period Piece, and Action/Adventure. I personally think it might have been more interesting if the genres were assigned randomly, but instead designers got to pick their genres after their names were drawn. <br />Irina picked first, and the rest went in turn.<br />There were few exciting quotes this week, and even fewer exciting designs. Seriously, practically every design was hugely derivitive, ugly, or boring.<br />I found this episode to be lackluster and I didn't agree with the judges' decisions. <br /><br />The only funny bit = Shirin blathering about western costume. Have you ever seen a western?<br />Shirin: "We don't even have a cowboy hat, so I decided to go a completely different route and do a saloon girl." <br />Wow, so you decided to be original and do a Western movie costume of the same type you can buy in a bag for Halloween? You're a genius!<br />To prove my point, she turns to Carol Hannah and asks should I do pink and black or red and black? I'm pretty sure those are the two saloon girl in bag standard options.<br />Hey, I just googled Saloon Girl costume:<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep6/?action=view¤t=saloonigrlpb.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep6/saloonigrlpb.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep6/?action=view¤t=saloonigrlrb.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep6/saloonigrlrb.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Busted! Someone has a penchant for slutty bag Halloween costumes.<br />I find this annoying because Halloween costumes generally suck, and movie costumes generally shouldn't. I don't see using Halloween costume in a bag as your design foundation being a formula for success.

I have to say, I liked more of these designs than I have any other week.<br />Heidi gives another obvious hint for the challenge this week: "The answers will all be in black and white." <br />Logan, being pretty and dumb, thinks it has to do with old Hollywood movies, as opposed to newsprint. <br />The gang heads down to the flailing Los Angeles Times facility to meet the LA Times Fashion Editor Booth Moore, so that she could watch the designers snatch and bag papers like ladies at a sale table.<br />Back in the workroom, Tim informs the designers that they were allowed to use muslin as infrastructure as long as it doesn't show. The designers are also provided with dye, markers, and brushes to pretty up their paper. <br />I have a question, which designer was NOT inspired by origami? What a creative leap! They're taking clothing made of paper and relating it to the Japanese art of paper folding. Brilliant!<br />Now I know I've said this before, but this season I just haven't found someone to love. Everyone bugs. But this was the episode for Johnny and Nicolas to really shine (as people who I don't want to watch).<br />The show opened with a real gem:<br />"Being in the bottom three is probably the most empty feeling I've ever felt" <br />-Johnny <br />Really? Aren't you the recovered meth addict? <br />...and it's more horrible to be criticized on a reality television show than to face d.i.y. rehab for drug addiction? <br />Then Nicolas starts in with his rant of bitching about newspaper. I tuned out, but I know he mentioned "I've never sewn with newspaper" like all the other designers sew with newspaper every day. Cry me a river.<br />I felt a tiny bit bad for Johnny, because it seems like everyone there hates him. There's a whole room full of Johnny smack talkers. It's like high school.<br />Then Epperson says Johnny must be there for a reason and someone - Nicolas? says "Comic relief" and what timing that at that exact moment, Johnny walks in with his ill fitting pink shirt adjusting his pants like a clownish child.<br />They really played up the rivalries this week. <br />Johnny v. Nicolas and Irina v. Althea slinging barbs and giving catty looks. To this I reply: "Meh."<br />I don't care if they all get stuck on an ice floe and floated out to sea.<br /><br />Althea<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep5/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep5-rr-althea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep5/pr6-ep5-rr-althea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep5/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep5-rr-althea-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep5/pr6-ep5-rr-althea-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I LOVE the print.

I'm not entirely sold on the bodice. I would've rather seen it more curve skimming and flattering, but it is interesting.

In my mind, she's the kind of girl who wears a Juicy tracksuit and heels out to a nice dinner. I HATE that. <br />Anyways, I do like this coat (I LOVE coats) but it gets my back up at the same time.

It's well executed, but I hate the design and the styling. It's very Wizard of Oz or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or something... <br />Kind of a cross between a Munchkin and the Cowardly Lion, with a dash of Oompa Loompa.

Colorless, ridiculous, I really think this should've been in the bottom three over Gordana. They gave her props for taking a risk - but she failed.<br /><br /><br />So in the end it was between Johnny and Nicolas. In my eyes, they are the same boring, chubby, self-important/untalented designer in different colors. I was crossing my fingers that they'd make an exception and send them both home this week. Rats. Oh well, one to go.<br /><br />Interestingly, the episode virtually ended with Tim calling out Johnny's lie. It was an interesting choice. I wonder if it was prompted by the producers or happened naturally. It seemed to me like a bit of a compromise for Tim (who's generally nothing but supportive). But the way everyone was acting towards Johnny, maybe he had been asking for a kick when he went down?<br />I know that addicts are liars extraordinaire, but it makes me wonder if Johnny's lying about the drug addiction in the first place. It's not like he could drum up sympathy for being a compulsive liar.Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898189712936329809.post-22101977117930099162009-09-11T12:43:00.000-07:002009-09-11T13:46:06.593-07:00Pitchmen aka trying to drum up interest in Models of the RunwayAnother Thursday, another PR. This ep kicks off with Gordana telling Q that she didn't stand up for herself with Epperson. Does she stand up for herself? Of course not, instead she deflects..."anyways, I'm just glad it's over."<br />They meet up with Heidi on the runway and she tells them about the 13 women waiting for them. Clueless Nicolas (because I don't think he has a funny bone in his body - so it can't be a joke) says it could be "homeless people to eskimos." Yes, why haven't they had the homeless chic challenge yet? It's certainly timely given the economic climate.<br />Despite the teaser misdirection - Logan referring to his smurf prom dress, we learn that this is not another prom challenge, but a Models of the Runway industry event. Yes, I subjected myself to yet ANOTHER crappy MotR episode to tell you that this event was just a crappy rooftop "party" aka excuse for the Tacky and grossly tanned brainchild behind Von Dutch and Ed Hardy - Christian Audigier (I would expect nothing less. Von Dutch: see trucker hats for douchebags; Ed Hardy: see Ts for douchebags) to paw at the models.<br />He was the ONLY "designer" pointed out at this "important" industry party.<br />I digress.<br />The designers have 30 min consultation w their models, $100 to spend at Mood, and 1 day to design the look.<br /><br />Consultation Time<br />-Johnny says it's like designing something for myself if I was a black girl. So it's more like designing something for a black girl, that's not you right<br /><br />-Matar is annoying and gives a long list of creative input that is all contradictory. Luckily, Epperson is the boss (see: Marriage w Q) and takes her ramblings with a grain of salt.<br /><br />-Q never designs anything in black - because why would someone so tacky want to design in the chic-est color out there?<br /><br />Tim <br />"Have fun with your models, but not too much fun"<br />This makes me think that Logan has been working the model pool...<br /><br />I LOVED the neatly encapsulated Epperson family "drama." Every one misses their family during PR, but your big boy pants on and get over it. Man, the producers laid that one on thick with the giant family photos on the workbench, the tearful phone call, and then the subsequent weepy sewing scene. It's called subtlety son, and it's more effective than your hamfisted antics. Let's leave out a pipe for Johnny to find and make some really compelling t.v.<br /><br />I swear Johnny's model called her vagina her "treasure" when he was adjusting the length of her skirt. I threw up in my mouth a little. <br /><br />Cut to day 2 and the designers are leaving home for the workroom. Q bends over to grab a bag and she looks like a $2 ho in that outfit. I guess that tacky designer doesn't fall far from the tacky dresser tree.<br /><br />The judges are a sea of strangers this week...<br />Marc Bouwer - an american designer (standing in for Michael Kors)<br />Zoe Glazner - editor for Marie Claire (standing in for Nina Garcia)<br />Jennifer Rade - a costume designer and celeb stylist<br />Man did JR have attitude! I LOVED her. More guest judges with teeth like this please.<br /><br />Althea <br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-althea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-althea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-althea-s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-althea-s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-althea-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-althea-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />You know, I kinda like it, but I felt like it was tonally wrong for a party.<br /><br />Carol Hannah<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=CarolHannahWhitfield.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/CarolHannahWhitfield.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-ch-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-ch-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-ch-s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-ch-s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep4-rr-ch-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep4/pr6-ep4-rr-ch-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />This dress looked so good on the tv to me, the colors were richer and the movement was great.

The designers bus it to the beach (there were shots of the Santa Monica Pier - so presumably that's where they ended up). Tim tells the designers that they are charged with creating a fun and fashionable surf wear look and, to their chagrin, that this is a team challenge. I know the minute he said that everyone was chanting "Not Mitchell. Not Mitchell" in their heads.<br />So the leaders are <br />-Shirin, who chose Carol Hannah - knowing a good minion when she saw one <br />-Logan, who chose Christopher<br />-Nicolas, who chose Gordana - Slavic solidarity?<br />-Mitchell, who chose Ra'mon - for reasons he made abundantly clear: "I wanted to choose someone who could carry me" <br />-Althea, who chose Louise - because of her success in the previous challenge<br />-Q, who chose Epperson - because she wanted to provide us viewers w entertainment<br />-Johnny, who was stuck with Irina - but don't they make a nice matched pair?<br /><br />Maybe I'm oversensitive when it comes to my Tim Gunn, but I got my back up about Shirin's comment: "Tim Gunn in flip-flops...it's a stretch." Tim Gunn doesn't make fashion mistakes - he is infallible and fantastic. Who are you, Shirin?<br /><br />Ra'mon says what everyone's thinking once he's teamed up with Mitchell: "I feel like I have a giant bullseye painted in the middle of my face" <br /><br />The teams get 15 minutes in Mood and the Qeppersons begin their epic battle. You know there's trouble when Epperson is the one hurrying Q in the fabric store. <br /><br />Once the designers are up and running, Tim comes to inform them that the judges are raising the stakes and that each team must create a second look - an avant garde design that ties in with their beach look.<br /><br />Ramon: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Capital WTF"<br /><br />Gordana on Nicolas' design: "Maybe this is a sea woman who is becoming a human like in the movie Mermaid"<br />Does she mean: <br />a)Splash<br />b)The Little Mermaid<br />c)The Cher movie Mermaids (which has no actual mermaids)<br />d)none of the above<br /><br />Garnier dude: "This look blah blah blah Wonder Waves TM" = annoying synergy <br />Don't we get enough with the weekly: <br />-L'oreal Paris Makeup Room<br />-Garnier Hair Salon<br />-Macy's Accessory Wall<br />+ the prize plugs?<br /><br />Tim talking about the 1st avant garde design Ra'mon whipped up aka Scuba Steve. "Cartoon with a super hero and a greek goddess"<br /><br />Mitchell was a sad, low self esteem bum this week. He totally quit before it was over.<br /><br />The judges this week are:<br />Max Azria (BCBG) covering for Michael Kors<br />Nina Garcia (now I get the Marie Claire!!

Especially a surfer girl? It's a grecian-style party dress.<br />I think the neoprene green avant garde look is a mess. I can see a good design in there somewhere, but it just doesn't have the execution. The back skirt is especially sloppy. They said they liked it but qualified it saying it needed alterations.

I now realize that the top of the beach look is fantastic - but totally destroyed by the huge sloppy white pants. The space hooker outfit is almost artistically interesting if you spray mace in your eyes and squint while standing 20 feet away...but it's mostly just a trashy train wreck.<br /><br />The Qeppersons<br />Q(Leader?) and Epperson<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=QristylFrazier.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/QristylFrazier.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=Epperson.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Epperson.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-epp-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-epp-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-epp-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-epp-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-qristyl-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-qristyl-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-qristyl-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-qristyl-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The beach look has a good top and print, but the skirt isn't great - it's a hot mess from the back.<br />The avant garde look (and honestly, I'm not sure they HAVE an avant garde look...)is an atrocity. Even worse in still shots than it was in motion.<br />I think Max Azria made a perceptive comment on the Qepperson marriage: "She's weak and he took advantage." Q has got a mouth and puts up a tough front - but you can tell she doesn't feel comfortable in PR. She asks Tim permission to cut fabric, she runs around like a chicken with her head cut off in Mood. I don't think she has the confidence to make it far in this competition. She was absolutely toothless on the runway when it came time to confront their collaborative issues.<br /><br />The Hottie and the Nottie (I'm sorry - it IS a Paris Hilton reference)<br />Shirin(Leader) and Carol Hannah<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=ShirinAskari.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/ShirinAskari.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=CarolHannahWhitfield.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/CarolHannahWhitfield.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-shirin-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-shirin-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-shirin-f2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-shirin-f2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-shirin-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-shirin-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-ch-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-ch-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-ch-s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-ch-s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep3-rr-ch-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep3/pr6-ep3-rr-ch-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Both are fine, but boring and overly simple.<br /><br />I was disappointed that they didn't really address the fact that NO ONE made anything remotely sporty that a surfer girl would actually wear on the beach.

Can I just say before we get down to the nitty-gritty, the opening sequence of runway has always been a little disturbing to me. These people are all walking around in a white room saying overconfident and awkward things and sometimes dancing around and it makes me a little uncomfortable. This season is especially freaksome to me because the people have no feet! I don't know if it was cheaper in post, but there's weird white haze where their toes should be. They're dancing around like eerie spectres, and I am nervous.<br />So I didn't mention the fabulous prizes that the winning designer will receive last entry. The winner will get the standard $100,000 to start their own line, a trip to Paris, and a fashion spread in Marie Claire. Does anyone read that? Any fashion cred? Why is it that Runway and Vogue never collaborate? I understood the Nina Garcia/Elle nepotism, but why not move UP now?<br />This week's challenge is to create a chic look for PREGNANT supermodel/film and television star Rebecca Romijn. You may remember her as Daniel's post-op brother on Ugly Betty or in full blue makeup as Mystique in the X-Men movies.<br />There are a few ridiculous quotes that were thrown around in this episode. For your reading pleasure:<br /><br />Ra'mon - "I think she's in her early second semester......I mean trimester."<br />You REALLY went to med school?<br /><br />Logan - "I've never really had a lot of pregnant women in my life. That's not really my deal. [Who's deal IS that? Besides an OBGYN...Maybe a cult leader?] Babies kinda scare me I guess. [Preachin' to the choir]<br /><br />Shirin - "All good things take awhile" No, it's not a saying<br /><br />Tim - "Cuckoo's already happened"<br />With me?<br />"No, not with you"<br />camera cuts to Malvin <br /><br />this is a logical editing move, progressing from footage of Malvin talking<br />Malvin - "I'm playing around w images of eggs, birdsnests. Basically this look is called Mother Hen" on his fertility motif<br /><br />I thought Mitchell was being catty when he told Ra'mon his dress looked like a bowling bag, but all the judges thought so too.<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/?action=view¤t=brunswick-wii-bowling-bag.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/brunswick-wii-bowling-bag.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep2-rr-ramon-s-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/pr6-ep2-rr-ramon-s-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Was it just me, or did Mitchell call Tim "Jim" when he thanked him at the end of their consultation.<br /><br />Tim was justly gushing over Shirin, and Carol Hannah was standing in the background eyeballing the scene like a hungry dog near a bucket of KFC.<br /><br />Anyone else notice that Q is a little high strung at Mood? She's always runnin' around like it's the apocalypse instead of a fabric store.<br /><br />Michael Kors was absent - so the judges were Heidi, Nina, Rebecca Romijn, and guest Monique Lhuillier. Speak of the devil, I wish she had verbally whapped Irina for ripping her off last week.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Althea</span><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/?action=view¤t=AltheaHarper.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/AltheaHarper.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep2-rr-altehea-f.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/pr6-ep2-rr-altehea-f.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep2-rr-altehea-s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/pr6-ep2-rr-altehea-s.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/?action=view¤t=pr6-ep2-rr-altehea-b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/Ep2/pr6-ep2-rr-altehea-b.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />To be honest, I didn't care for it.

It's been far too long.<br />The <a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway">PR site</a> on Lifetime has improved from Bravo's standards - definitely worth checking out. The fashion pictures are of better quality; but don't expect uniformity. Thanks to Lifetime for posting such great pictures for us bloggers.<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=allstars_square.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/allstars_square.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The combatants:<br />Daniel Vosovic - Season 2 Finalist<br />Uli Herzner - Season 3 Finalist<br />Santino Rice - Season 2 Finalist<br />Jeffrey Sebelia - Season 3 Winner<br />Sweet P Vaughn - Season 4 contestant<br />Korto Momolu - Season 5 Finalist<br />Chris March - Season 4 contestant<br />Mychael Knight - Season 3 Finalist<br /><br />What's new with these crazy kids?<br />Daniel - He seems much the same - sweet and classy, like a young Tim Gunn. The judges think he has evolved a lot. He certainly seems focused, and it has been 4 years.<br /><br />Uli - She seems unchanged as well, doing her dresses for a select clientelle. I don't know what her work outside runway has been, but for this challenge she did a different style then we're used to seeing from her.<br /><br />Santino - Same old boastful asshole with a mean Tim Gunn impression. "Like a tornado wearing a hat" says Chris. Santino on Santino: I'm a "breakout star"; "Project Runway didn't make me - I made Project Runway".<br /><br />Jeffrey - a lot. He left the mother of his son and has a new band. I was/am annoyed at the way he seemed to just be on the show to be a walking ad for this new band. Research informed me he was in a one "hit" wonder band in the 90s shooting heroin before he ever cleaned up and went to design school. That makes his music thing a little less annoying since he's not just parlaying reality show fame into a music "career" like a total douche. Also, a Fu Manchu mustache.<br /><br />Sweet P - nothin'. I am wondering why she's here.<br /><br />Korto - Still angry after all these months. Being the most-googled person in America after the Runway finale "told [her] that she should have won".<br /><br />Chris - I love him, but I am wondering why he is here as well. He did make the special more entertaining.<br /><br />Mychael - WELL. He did change his name from Michael to Mychael. Also, no braces and a 90s Fresh Prince fade instead of his old buzz cut and he looks fatter. Basically, not only is he unrecognizable, but he is still making the same tired, hoochie Miami nightclub designs. He seems to have let his reality show fame turn him into a mega douche. He SHOULD NOT have been here.<br /> <br />The challenge:<br />Design and create a mini collection with 3 looks - 1 red carpet worthy, with a budget of $1200 for the chance to win $100K.<br /><br />-They have a Halston accessories wall which far surpasses the Macy's wall for the noobs.<br /> <br />-During the one hour for sketching, Chris is asleep with his eyes open? Is he a bear? I love his cat naps.<br /><br />-The designers learn their dress will be worn by Nicole Kidman for the premiere of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472033/">9</a>.<br /><br />-More Mychael hate:<br />What is he talking about to Tim? He chose materials "randomly...but in a smart way"?<br />He's "all over the place" like it's a good thing?<br /><br />-Jeffrey took a lot of drugs --> "in the hands of the wits of the models"<br /><br />-Santino doing Tim on Sweet P: "Doesn't look a day over 53"<br /><br />-The designers are invited out to STK restaurant in the meatpacking district and told to strip the restaurant's interior for raw materials for a fourth look. Chaos ensues. Luckily, 25% of the new look can be from existing fabrics from the other looks.<br /><br />-Collier Strong is here from L'oreal doing makeup and Phillip Carreon from Garnier is doing hair.

The first top just looks like cheap athletic wear. The dress is fine, but not my style. Too modern art. The restaurant challenge is like a zombie fighting cop in Resident Evil or something. Very odd. I love him as a human, and am glad to see him succeed - but I don't agree with this choice. I think he's too "high art fashion" for people to relate to. <br /><br />Uli<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Uli1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Uli1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Uli2.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Uli2.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Uli3.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Uli3.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Ulirest.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Ulirest.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I think this collection should have made it into the top four in place of Sweet P. I think it looked better on TV than it does in these pictures, so maybe it was much different in person. The first dress sucks and does look like it's strung with bowel. I love the second dress and I also like the third outfit - especially the skirt. The restaurant dress looks really cool to me. <br /><br />Santino<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Santino2.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Santino2.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Santino3.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Santino3.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Santino1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Santino1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Santinorest.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Santinorest.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />This is hooker wear.

I think the vest and pants is crap. The rest are good. Korto did not need to come in runner-up again.

I didn't care for the restaurant dress. I thought that the dress at the end was the best. It reminded me of McQueen and seemed like the kind of dress that would end up in a Vogue spread - so dramatic and high fashion.<br /><br />Mychael<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Mychael1.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Mychael1.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Mychael2.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Mychael2.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Mychaelrest.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Mychaelrest.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/?action=view¤t=Mychael3.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%206/PR%20AllStarChallenge/Mychael3.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The first dress is cute but boring, and Korto does it better. The top on the yellow/teal outfit is fug. The restaurant challenge was lazy and sloppy. The fuchsia dress would be unflattering on any human.Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898189712936329809.post-44123983479311374332008-10-16T09:27:00.000-07:002008-10-17T10:30:43.251-07:00Boys on the SideSo, I went to watch the PR finale on my DVR and only Part II was on there. I was concerned about missing Part I, so I had to wait a day to record it in reruns. Come to find out, they just replayed last week's episode calling it part I of the finale. This is symptomatic of Bravo's lazy and cheap approach to PR this season. On the plus side, I was able to settle a debate between myself and one of my friends using closed captioning. <br /><br />I told my friend that Tim Gunn referred to Korto's sexually themed dress as a "snatch shot" in the previous ep. He didn't believe that the term snatch wouldn't have been edited out. We watched a video clip on youtube, but were still on the fence. He was claiming it could've been "snapshot". Well, here's the photo finish in living color...<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=IMG_5714.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/IMG_5714.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Proof that Tim Gunn is so beloved by the people he can get away with utterances no one else can with nary a whimper from the angry media watchdog mob.<br /><br />So Jennifer Lopez was supposed to be a guest judge, but apparently she couldn't sit in a chair and talk because of an ankle injury...She needed to save her strength for a triathalon in Malibu? Hmm...sounds to me like her people told her to avoid the ship Bravo was sinking...<br />So "Real Hot Hottie" Tim Gunn (that Heidi quote made me shiver with disgust) was called in as a last minute replacement. I have to say that although I ardently admire Tim, we disagreed in almost every respect. I have more appreciation for him in his mentor role now that I have seen him as a judge and found that we are definitely not on the same page. <br /><br />Kenley should have been worried, her judges were now officially all people she had disrespected. She never should have made it to the final round of the competition. She had earned her way out. That being said, I think she put on a better show than Korto and I was perplexed when Korto was left in the final two. <br /><br />Here are some more delicious Kenleyisms from the finale:<br />"My decisions are final"<br />"...it's insulting. I did not take my work from anyone else"<br />"I don't give an f- what they say"<br />"You better keep that f-in' dog away from my ? (shit?)"<br />"Yeah, I realize now maybe I need to do some research" <br />(said in an f- you I'm never doing anything for you people tone)<br /><br />Leanne<br /><a

Daring without being gauche. It may not have the soul stirrers that Kenley can sometimes cook up, but it feels like a designer's collection. I think it was the collection most enhanced by the motion on the runway. It flowed like waves. I was happy that Leanne pointed out what she thought was her weakest piece and I agreed. (the blue shirt/vest and tan pants - specifically the top). I was confused as to why Tim Gunn pointed it out as being his particular favorite... <br /><br />Kenley<br /><a

(the puff sleeved teal monstrosity harkens back to that horrible plaid dress, and the white 50s dress was beautifully painted, but the other painted sheath with the messy sleeves was very overdone). As a whole it plays uneven and inexperienced, not to mention derivative. I'm also not sure why she thought she should wear leaves on her head.<br /><br />Korto <br /><a

They look ridiculous on the runway. There are some duds - see short khaki dress and anything white. The colors are great, but this collection doesn't have that spark. Her work just consistently doesn't speak to me.<br />I must say though, the green dress that she brought to judging was pretty extraordinary. <br />I am not surprised to see that the things I disliked were Korto's last minute executions before the runway show. Once again Tim liked the piece that I disliked the most...Lost in translation? <br />Her looks just didn't do it for me.

The challenge issued to them for the final elimination round was to create a wedding dress that reflects their asthetic and collection for Bryant Park. After a frighteningly awkward pantomime kiss between Heidi and Tim behind the curtain, they were off. Korto to Little Rock, Arkansas (which I found surprising); Leanne to Seattle, Washington; Jerell to my homebase: Los Angeles, California, and Kenley to down the street.<br />I always love the Tim Gunn home visits because Tim is so damn likable. Only he would climb onto a tandem bike in a suit and dress shoes. He's a throwback to a genteel era that I cannot help but admire.<br />Tim listened to drumming, survived Kenley, admired Leanne, and tried to warn poor Jerell about his tendency towards "too much look". Obviously, Jerell erroneously believed that he knew better. Tim's heartfelt speech to the designers before their final challenge show was so genuine and sweet, he had me tearing up.<br />Of course, there's always a twist. The designers have oft been required to pop out a last minute look before Bryant Park that can fit into their collection. This time they had to make a bridesmaid dress to compliment their wedding design. The hits were out of the park, Leanne and, to a lesser extent, Kenley. While the misses were way off the mark, Jerell's super boobs and Korto's horribly unflattering, overworked mess.<br />Kenley complained that the other girls knocked off her bridesmaid dress because they were also short! She bugs me!<br />Michael Kors mentioned that Kenley's dress bore a striking resemblance to a Alexander McQueen design (from his Fall 08 RTW collection - shown in Paris on Febuary 29, 2008). McQueen is my favorite designer, so I am ticked when an upstart like Kenley tries to rip him off and claims to have no knowledge of Alexander freakin' McQueen. Her dress came out very beautifully, but take a look at a side by side comparison and tell me whether you think her design was original...<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=00340m.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/00340m.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=kenley_final_04.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/kenley_final_04.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Unfortunately, the usually reliably quality photos posted on Project Runway's official site this week were awful. I was forced to include alternate photos from the Bryant Park runway shows so you can actually see the full looks. Leanne's gorgeous bridesmaid dress did not make it down the runway again, so unfortunately, that chest shot is the best I've got. Korto wisely opted not to use her wedding gown or bridesmaid design in the Bryant Park show.<br /><br />Korto<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=korto.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/korto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=rate_513_korto_01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/rate_513_korto_01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=rate_513_korto_02.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/rate_513_korto_02.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />First off, the wedding dress is horribly unflattering. Who wants to wear a dress on their wedding day that makes a fashion model look fat and dumpy?<br />Her bridesmaid's dress didn't read bridesmaid at all.<br />She was the biggest miss of the four this week, but then again, she is a more generally talented executor of fashion than Jerell by a mile and she seemed to want it more.<br /><br />Jerell<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=rate_513_jerell_01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/rate_513_jerell_01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=jerell_final_12.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/jerell_final_12.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/?action=view¤t=rate_513_jerell_02.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep13/rate_513_jerell_02.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Tim tried to tell you.

The originality is definitely in question. I would've been much more impressed if you claimed it as an homage to McQueen, but your pride in your fashion ignorance drives me up a wall.

Collier Strong was there to provide expostion. Kenley Collins was there to be a pain in our collective asses.<br /><br />Kenley is a heinous hose beast. She has made some attractive designs over the course of the season. The dress that she made for this challenge was a bootable offense. Combine that with her awful attitude, and I'm not sure that the judges had a defensible position keeping her on.<br />Let's explore some Kenleyisms:<br /><br />Leanne sabotaged her outfit and made it look foolish? A good outfit can't be sabotaged by funny walking...<br /><br />"Half of my childhood was spent miles away from land so I <strong>can</strong> be as loud and obnoxious as I want"<br />Actually, that can should be replaced by <strong>could</strong>. You could be loud and obnoxious with impunity with no one around to be harrassed, but in polite society there are certain rules of decorum. You don't treat people who are giving you a tremendous opportunity and help like something stuck to your retro shoe.<br /><br />"I don't like anything the other designers do"<br />Just change it to - I don't like anything or anyone but myself.<br />It's been done many times by Hugh Grant.<br /><br />"I'm really glad <strong>we're</strong> getting a second chance"<br />Delusional if you don't think the second chance was all yours.<br /><br />and the grandaddy of them all:<br />In defense of her ugly dress,<br />"I wanted to stay away from pretty" and "I wasn't going for elegant"<br />What the hell else is an evening gown supposed to be if it's not pretty or elegant? Ugly and trashy?<br /><br />Unsurprisingly, everyone wanted Kenley out except for Kenley, and apparently the judges.<br />They were a united front against her. The group hug at the end with Tim excluded her by her choice. She needs to put on her big girl pants and start treating people like they are people. Her livelihood depends on her ability to care about someone besides herself. She can't become a successful designer without others to support her.<br /><br />Jerell<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep12/?action=view¤t=rate_512_jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep12/rate_512_jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The idea is very pretty. It's also very messy. The hem was plain ugly and the clevage was scandalous (I think due to poor construction rather than by design). It reminded me of a courtesan costume rather than a high fashion garment because it was unpolished.<br /><br /><br />Kenley<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=kenley.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/kenley.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep12/?action=view¤t=rate_512_kenley.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep12/rate_512_kenley.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Pug ugly.

What a preview of next week's ten-hanky sobfest!<br />I think everyone watching will agree that although Suede deserved to be out of the competition long before this, the grace that he exhibited next to the Kenley beast made the reasoning seem questionable.<br />The challenge: Design a look of for one of your competitors based on an assigned musical genre.<br />The episode kicked off with model selection and the selection ended with a rare smile from Korto. Is it because she loves and appreciates her model, or is the reason more sinister? Maybe she enjoyed the power of destroying three other models based on her choice?<br />So the designers did a flip-flop design meeting. Suede decided to steer clear of Jerell's glam rock leanings out of fear of being over the top, which is just what he needed to save his ass.<br />At Mood, Tim tried to tell Kenley that her floral fabric choice wasn't hip-hop. But why would Kenley listen to Tim, she obviously knows more than him, about hip-hop and about life...sigh.<br />When Tim does his walk around he tries to tell Kenley her look isn't reading hip-hop. But why listen to anyone's wisdom and experience when you can be a giggly, disrespectful bitch?<br />"I can't really listen to Tim at this point" -Kenley<br />Not to split hairs, but when could you listen to Tim? or ANYONE? Do you not realize that while trying to make dramatic television, this show is also a platform to help aspiring designers maximize their potential and network by being a personality? Do you think anyone wants you around the way you treat your collaborators and advisers?<br />But no, you nailed it. You totally made an outfit fit for Alicia Keys (a well known hip-hop personality) and LL Cool J knows nothing about this genre anyways.<br />If you can't taste that sarcasm, please realize that not all "black music" is the same genre. There are a myriad of genres such as Rap, R&B, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Jazz, and Blues that are considered, perhaps, the traditional musical realm of black folks, and there are even black rockers and country singers and punkers and pop stars! Oh my!<br />Kenley just made a regular, store-bought, ugly outfit and covered it with accessories and thought she could fake some sort of connection with a genre she is obviously clueless about. I believe if a humble and hard-working designer like Leanne had pulled Hip-Hop she would have bowed to the knowledge and experience of those around her to create something much better than a stubborn fool like Kenley ever could.<br />She was so defensive and rude with LL Cool J. The poor guy was backpedaling away from her shrill whining as fast as he could.<br />It was ironic that the two designers who made the worst outfits were wearing the two best designs, but I guess not unexpected with only 5 people left.<br />Kenley is a great one trick pony. I love retro and vintage...but I don't like the holier than thou attitude from an immature girl who obviously has a lot to learn.<br /><br /><br />Suede<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=suede.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/suede.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Rock and Roll<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep11/?action=view¤t=rate_511_jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep11/rate_511_jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />It was fine, but I agree with the judges about it being way too plain. It was "missing drama."<br /><br /><br />Jerell<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Pop<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep11/?action=view¤t=rate_511_kenley.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep11/rate_511_kenley.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The dress is fantastic bubble gum pop. Not what I would expect from Jerell, but Jerell is generally tacky and overdone just like pop so it makes perfect sense that it would be a good marriage. I can't believe no one mentioned how the vest that Tim was scared of was ugly. I guess LL did remark that he appreciated the dress more wihtout it. The vest was really an unecessary touch that didn't enhance the outfit.<br /><br /><br />Leanne<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=leanne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/leanne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Country<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep11/?action=view¤t=rate_511_korto.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep11/rate_511_korto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Not bad.

I just finished a big project and I should complete my blog in a more timely manner for the last couple of episodes this season.<br />This week was the TRESemme challenge! Create a head-to-toe makeover for a recent college graduate.<br />The ep started strong with a harsh burn from Leanne. All of the grads' moms were introduced on the runway and when Heidi announced that they were a part of the challenge, but the designers wouldn't be creating a look for them, there was an audible sigh of relief. You'd think it goes without saying, but no, Leanne actually says "None of us wanna design an old lady outfit to be honest." Doesn't she have a mother? Doesn't she know the target audience of Bravo and Lifetime? Oh the humanity!<br />Then Heidi brought out the young graduates who seemed dazed and reluctant. She announced the pairings and boy, as usual, Korto's enthusiasm was infectious.<br />Kenley loves her charge because the first thing the girl says is "I got the pretty one". Kenley says "She's sweet. She reminds me of me." If by sweet you mean stubborn hell-bitch, then yes Kenley, she reminds me of you too, or at least she will when you make her over to be your freakin clone. I was having a Jimmy Stewart-style makeover moment when Kenley has Anna's hair cut and dyed to her specifications (read: Scottie having Judy's hair dyed blonde to look like Madeline). Weirdness.<br />Jerell was cracking me up. The girl says "I want something androgynous" and Jerell says "I'm making a high waisted pencil skirt". Stop smoking crack. There's nothing androgynous about it, you crazy-hatted twig. He did crack me up with his right on the money crack about Leanne pulling the Hedda Lettuce for this challenge. The daughter was fine, but the mom was a nightmare.<br />Making fun of Joe's pocket square: Priceless<br />Then Tim calls a gather round so everyone can meet. Drumroll:<br />Jeanie SyWHO?<br />Talk about anticlimactic. Wow, the Tresemme challenge's special guest is a tresemme stylist. Don't phone it in or anything.<br />So there are two assholes this particular challenge. <br />Joe:<br />"I'm not really concerned with Tim saying it's not graphic designer" Auf'd!<br />Kenley:<br />"Tim doesn't understand me as a designer. I'm not gonna listen. I never really change anything for Tim"<br />Maybe if you'd listen you would win some challenges out from under Jerell and Leanne!<br />Kenley talks smack on everyone. Last ep we got the snotty "I love it when people talk shit right in front of me" comment. I guess it was meant to imply that shit talking belongs squarely behind people's backs. Like poor clueless Suede. Whom Kenley calls a poser. Not that she's wrong...but really, irony much?<br />Suede bites back with the first observation of Anna as a "miniature Kenley." You know if Suede and Heidi notice and say something...then it's really on the nose. They aren't the sharpest blonde-headed tools in the box.<br />The guest judge this week was Cynthia Rowley. At least they pulled a name, but I've never really cared for her...She's a little too blandly conservative.<br />When Kors called Joe out for making a 60 year old's version of professional and Kenley and miniKenley both covered their mouths cackling...that was too much!<br />That might win for best moment of the season, or at least the best Lynchian moment in PR history.<br /><br />Joe<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=joe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/joe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Client: Laura, Graphic Designer<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep10/?action=view¤t=rate_510_joe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep10/rate_510_joe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The outfit is a hot mess.

The dress was ok - cute. I don't think it looked "professional" so I'm gonna have to disagree with Rowley on that one.<br /><br />Suede<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=suede.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/suede.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Client: Avital, Photographer<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep10/?action=view¤t=rate_510_suede.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep10/rate_510_suede.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The dress was fine in an ugly pucci-esque purple monstrosity sort of way.

He just stacked two back-to-back wins under his tiny belt. Will Suede?

Woo, that's a mouthful. They were judged by 7 designers from previous seasons during an evening at the planetarium inside the American Museum of Natural History (with kooky lighting to make it seem more edgy). Also, there is no more immunity and two designers were eliminated this week. Ah, there's the kitchen sink.<br />I have a boatload of great quotes, thanks to the inspired pairing of Keith and Terri (proof that there is a God, or at least a producer, with a sick sense of humor).<br />Keith and Terri's greatest hits:<br />"Keith's skill level is not the same as mine" - Terri<br />Keith talking about feeling fragile<br />Keith telling Terri he wants to be useful and Terri firing back with:<br />"Maybe he can count the pins that fall on the floor"<br />"I'm not gonna stand here looking like a fool because she's an angry, bitter person" -Keith<br />She is an angry, bitter person, but that's not why you're standing there looking like a fool. You are a fool.<br />"Trust me Terri, you're not the easiest person to work with"-Keith<br />that was a quote from Keith about someone else!<br />Terri, in response to Keith calling her darlin':<br />"Don't call me darlin'" <br />Hilarious! It sounds like something that Uma Thurman would say before fucking someone up in Kill Bill.<br />Then there was Blayne's response to being auf-ed for the most hideous thing I've ever seen on the runway:<br />"Baffled...kinda like a slap in the face"<br />Actually, getting voted off a competition show for being the bottom of the barrel is exactly like a slap in the face.<br />Kenley was a super bitch this ep. She seems to be turning bi-polar suddenly...Maybe she ran out of meds or the producers switched them with sugar pills? I'm not gonna blame her period, because I am a woman and that is no excuse!<br />The 7 guests from past runway seasons were:<br />Robert Plotnik (aufed 8th ep season 1) <br />Jay McCarroll (winner season 1)<br />Daniel Vosovic (finalist season 2)<br />Kara Janx (aufed 11th ep season 2)<br />Alison Kelly (aufed 6th ep season 3)<br />Carmen Webber (aufed 3rd ep season 4)<br />Christian Siriano (winner season 4)<br /><br />Kara looked very haggard. I hope she's not ill...<br />Robert seems to show up a lot, I wonder how many of the judges/producers he nailed during the first season. I'm really curious as to why Carmen was there. I had to actually consult my blog history to figure out where she came from because I didn't recognize her at all. Why put such a forgettable face in the group?<br />Nina is back this week, which leads me to ask, who says welcome back when they are the one coming back? Isn't that what the people who didn't leave say to you if they missed you?<br />Guest Judge Francisco Costa was bland.<br />Overall a great episode for cutting more chaff and funny catfighting!<br /><br />Aquarius<br />Korto + Kelli<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=korto.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/korto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/?action=view¤t=rate_509_korto.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/rate_509_korto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />It's lovely and graceful. Not very out there, but hard to criticize.<br /><br /><br />Aquarius<br />Kenley + Wesley<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=kenley.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/kenley.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/?action=view¤t=rate_509_kenley.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/rate_509_kenley.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />This was just awful. They told her it wasn't original and she argued that she couldn't have imitated anyone because she didn't pay attention to other designers. What a retard. Start listening to constructive criticism and stop being such a stubborn super-bitch. The thing that bothered me the most was that no one mentioned it was just plain ugly. Forget wearable, that's not what avant-garde is about, but it's supposed to be beautiful or at least interesting and provocative. No, I'm not connecting with it when I throw up in my mouth a little.<br /><br /><br />Aries<br />Joe + Daniel<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=joe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/joe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/?action=view¤t=rate_509_joe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/rate_509_joe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I thought that the bodice was absolutely gorgeous.

This look was very interesting and provocative visually on the television, but it doesn't translate to photograph as beautifully.<br /><br />Libra<br />Blayne + Stella<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=blayne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/blayne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/?action=view¤t=rate_509_blayne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/rate_509_blayne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />This is the most awful thing I think I've ever seen on Project Runway.

I am the first to admit I don't like Terri and I think she makes tacky crap, but I thought this was alright. It doesn't look great, but comparing it to Blayne's is just cruel. Maybe the cheapness was much more apparent in person? The voodoo princess in hell crack was funny.<br /><br />Sagittarius<br />Jerell + Jennifer<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/?action=view¤t=rate_509_jerell.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/rate_509_jerell.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />It's not bad, but it shouldn't have won. I liked the dress underneath, but I wasn't feeling that coat. I like Joe's , Korto's, and Leanne's better. I would've taken any of them over Jerell. For me, his design didn't connect with the challenge at all and the other three designs actually reflected their respective astrological symbols. They didn't really have any explanations regarding how they picked the winner. That was just lazy not to record comments from the judges the night before. Maybe Jerell won on charisma alone during the cocktail party? I can't see Korto's angry stare or Joe's white bread quasi-homophobia winning any admirerers. Leanne is probably a wallflower at a party with her kooky mousiness...that leaves Jerell.<br /><br /><br />Libra<br />Suede + Jerry<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=suede.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/suede.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/?action=view¤t=rate_509_suede.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep9/rate_509_suede.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I thought this was crap. I can't believe they only criticized it for being too off-the-rack and not for looking drab and sloppy and ugly. I think it should've been Suede and Blayne, personally, but I look forward to Suede being kicked to the curb next week. Suede does not have the charisma, and I was thrilled to hear Kors call him out on the Suede talk as being delusional. Was that the first time Suede talked his first person jive on the runway?<br /><br />Bryant Park<br />1.Leanne<br />2.Korto<br />3.wildcard - Kenley or Joe?Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898189712936329809.post-18771691474517613822008-09-04T00:54:00.000-07:002008-09-04T02:01:02.422-07:00D.V.F-edThis week's challenge was to create a look for Diane Von Furstenberg's fall collection inspired by the film A Foreign Affair, and in particular the character played by Marlena Dietrich, Erika Von Schluetow (that's a mouthful):<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=AFFAIR.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/AFFAIR.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=Annex-DietrichMarleneAForeignAffair.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Annex-DietrichMarleneAForeignAffair.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />So this is a style inspired by a femme fatale singer with a shady past in the 1940s.<br />So how did we end up with so much off-the-mark crap?<br /><br />To start, what was Blayne about with his weird Mary Kate worship? Is he hoping for a spot on her entourage when he gets kicked to the curb?<br />What's with the waterworks, Kenley? Either she's been a weeper this whole time and they were saving it to misdirect her possible exit this week (I smell blood in the water) or she is really breaking down. She's like Cordelia from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So pushy and confident when she's not off crying about all the pressure of being so popular and great by herself. I'd pay to see a Kenley vs Venus Schnitzel cage match on pay-per-view.<br />I've noticed a great undercurrent of Terri hatred in the office. The other designers all have a distrust/dislike of her and her pants. What is it that we're not seeing? Does she stalk around talking about her titties behind the scenes?<br />Props to Stella for calling out Rachel Zoe, who is horrible. I didn't rip into her last week because she was practically a non-entity in the episode, but seeing the Bravo promo for her show made me glad that PR is escaping to a hopefully better place.<br /><br />This was quite a savvy cross promotional tie-in on DVF's part. She pimped her label, American Express (she's a spokeswoman who should be seeing some more green), and CFDA (no, not the CA dept of food and agriculture - CDFA) it's the Council of Fashion Designers of America. This is essentially the PETA of the fashion industry, not because it has anything to do with animal rights, but because it attempts to create a code of ethics for American designers. You can order Leanne's winning dress design on DVF's site now for $650:<br /><a href="http://inside.dvf.com/americanexpress/home.php">Leanne's Gorgeous Gown</a><br /><br />Fern Mallis covered for Nina this week and DVF filled the guest judge spot. DVF is fabulous enough to cover two spots. In case you don't know who she is, she really is a fashion dynasty. She's been working in the industry for 38 years. She was a huge influence on fashion in the 70's with her jersey knit wrap dress and she experienced a resurgence when she relaunched her label in the late 90's. I just want you to know that to work with her really is an honor (fashion-wise). Now on to the "designs". <br /><br /><br />Blayne<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=blayne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/blayne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/?action=view¤t=rate_blayne_508.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/rate_blayne_508.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Awful.

It looks like a flight attendant costume. The hats are baad.<br /><br /><br />Joe<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=joe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/joe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/?action=view¤t=rate_joe_508.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/rate_joe_508.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />It just looked cheap and sloppy all around.

This shows you the lack of quality designs when this ends up in the top 3.<br /><br /><br />Korto<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=korto.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/korto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/?action=view¤t=rate_korto_508.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/rate_korto_508.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Beautiful, but I don't think it relates to Diane's inspiration or current collection at all. It is very clean, modern, (and perhaps unexpected with the pops of yellow) but not mysterious or retro at all. I can't believe they didn't comment on it. Fern Mallis even said she got Saigon off the design - which is a huge leap. It is safari, Miami, beachy, Uli-esque...<br /><br /><br />Leanne<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=leanne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/leanne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/?action=view¤t=rate_leanne_508.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/rate_leanne_508.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Gorgeous.

Kors was right on, totally mismatched like dressing in the dark. Unflattering, haphazard. Didn't Tim tell you the skirt was too full? There was a little too much Suede talk coming out of Suede this week, someone send in a drag queen to slap him.<br /><br /><br />Terri<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=terri.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/terri.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/?action=view¤t=rate_terri_508.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep8/rate_terri_508.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />The fabric for the pants was nice, but the pants weren't.

Product placement much, Project Runway? GM created Saturn to capitalize on the interest in compact German and Japanese cars (you know, Volkswagon, Honda, Toyota - cars that people like with decent engineering and resale value) a little more than 20 years ago, and somehow, they haven't come to the realization that their experiment has failed. Nobody wants a Saturn. The only thing worse is a Daewoo. <br />I'm not sure why, considering the apparent credibility/marketability of Project Runway, they would tie themselves to this endless parading series of low-rent marketing duds - Bluefly, Macy's, Saturn, L'oreal (drugstore cosmetics?! que horror! How middle America!). These sponsors are the very antithesis of high fashion, the kinds of companies and products that you would be hard-pressed to even imagine seeing in the pages of Vogue. It doesn't really make sense unless this fashion parade is a rube in chic clothing... <br />I'll try not to bore you with my Keith-hating rantings, but hear some words from the horse's mouth:<br />"I'm sick of presenting these outfits that stand out so much and having them be so critical of me - so I'm gonna make sure whatever I do is more tailored and a little bit toned down" <br />Keith, you're not edgy and innovative like you think you are. You were already one note and boring. There was no need to edit yourself to be even more unbelievably boring in an effort to placate the judges.<br />"I wouldn't trust my taste, apparently it's questionable" <br />Though said with irony, this was the most honest and reasonable thing you said this entire episode.<br />"I just feel like I deserve it more than the others"<br />That's exactly your problem. You feel this sense of entitlement, but you did absolutely nothing to EARN it.<br />"Did you sit down? Oh my god, I knew you were gonna sit down!"<br />"I've given a small task to a model and I hope she could follow directions"<br />Hrm...it's strange that a tall woman might have to sit down to have her hair and makeup done! I mean, couldn't the stylists just climb a ladder so they could work on her head? Seriously, you fucktard, if you knew she was gonna sit down in hair and makeup (which btw, is both a perfectly reasonable assumption and a perfectly reasonable thing to do) why did you let her wear the skirt she couldn't sit down in down to hair and makeup in the first place?! It seemed to me the actions of a desperate man who likes to control others and was searching for an excuse for why the back of his garment looked like it was put together by Helen Keller.<br />I didn't believe that gay misogynists could exist until now. Thank you Mormons for creating a monster.<br />It was nice to see Laura again filling in for Nina and to see someone being forceful in conversation with Keith. He really needed a slice of humble pie and I'm not sure his ejection really gave it to him. Did anyone else notice what a passive aggressive man-child he was? He was slamming things and mumbling and complaining all the time. <br />Well, that certainly wasn't too rant-y now was it?<br />I loved the little tidbit about Stella's boyfriend Ratbones. Does that mean if she marries him she'll get to be Mrs. Ratbones? That's one lucky lady.<br />What the hell was Heidi on about with the broken mirror is seven years no sex? Maybe that's just her idea of bad luck?<br /><br /><br />Blayne<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=blayne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/blayne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_blayne_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_blayne_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Awful.

It's very edgy and interesting. I didn't love the skirt, especially from the back it seemed too short. This was the first time I didn't find your drama too tacky and cheesy. <br /><br /><br />Joe<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=joe.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/joe.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_joe_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_joe_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />It didn't work for me. It wasn't cute and the fit didn't flatter.

The top is poorly executed, the skirt's proportions were okay but not great. Maybe it would've looked different with your old model, but we'll never know. I think there should've been less whining and more work tweaking the fit.<br /><br /><br />Korto<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=korto.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/korto.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_korto_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_korto_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I liked it. It did seem a little too stiff to totally escape the stigma of car materials. I'm wondering if you can work without volume.<br /><br /><br />Leanne<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=leanne.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/leanne.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_leanne_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_leanne_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Perfection. Well deserved win.<br /><br /><br />Stella<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=stella.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/stella.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_stella_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_stella_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />"How embarrassing - rushing"<br />The skirt was pretty, but the top and the bottom are disconnected. It didn't work as a whole. The judges were right on in that dept.<br /><br /><br />Suede<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=suede.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/suede.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_suede_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_suede_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />To me, this looked crappy and cheap and maybe should've been in the bottom 3. <br />No taste and lots of dead relatives trotted out for sympathy lately. <br /><br /><br />Terri<br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/?action=view¤t=terri.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/terri.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/?action=view¤t=rate_runway_terri_507.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/lizard260/PR%20Season%205/Ep7/rate_runway_terri_507.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />I didn't like it. I didn't like the pants looking like they had knee pads and shin guards. The whole thing was like a Stella design and didn't work for me.<br /><br />My predicted top 3:<br />1. Korto<br />2. Leanne<br />3. Joe<br /><br />I think Stella, Suede, and Blayne are all just shiny baubles there for entertainment value. I think Kenley is likely to get in her own way and I think Jerell and Terri both have very questionable taste. Let's watch what happens.Lizard Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03474766788407900429noreply@blogger.com1
