Prom: One of the most important moments in every woman's life?

Really? I'm not so sure about that...
I think a lot of us spent prom drinking and watching old movies just like sweet Chris.
So this week the remaining nine designers had to team up with girls from a New Jersey Catholic School to comission their prom dresses.
The episode opens with Victorya saying she misses Elisa. Don't fake the funk Victorya...we know that you don't have a soul.
Heidi announces the challenge and in classic Christian Haterade-drinking mode he says "I think prom is tacky and gross." Not that he's wrong, but does Christian really like anything besides himself and his hair products?
Highlights included:
Kevin's prom picture, complete with hoop earrings, lmao.
Ricky crying about how his mom used to make prom dresses for his sisters as though she were now dead.
Ricky talking about how he dated a girl in high school and made her prom dress...who was more confused?
Victorya's high schooler telling her that she was with Victorya because she got last pick, but don't worry, she still likes her. It reminded me of choosing high school (insert sport here) teams. Victorya is the fat kid with glasses and asthma.
Sweet P saying she had a great time at her prom, if you know what she means *giggle*.


Sweet P
Meh. I didn't understand the excitement. Maybe it looked better in person? It was not all that flattering, the color was bland...I just don't get it...


Victorya
I thought the dress was pretty cute until you put all those hideous multi colored jewels on the front. I would've much preferred tonal button detail, but I'm a sucker for buttons. Oh yeah, and I HATE bubble hem. Let it go!


Chris
Very classy. I was suprised. Nice color. The problem remains that this looks like any of a handful of typical promwear designers, ABS or Jessica McClintock or Tadashi or Cache...whatever...its basically like trying to find a Starbucks. Throw a stone and you'll hit three. Your laugh is adorable and Mozart-like (a la Tom Hulce anyways).


Kevin
Ugly, slutty, now let's talk about the dress. Just kidding...but seriously you had to go and say those parting words to forever cement your straightness in the public consciousness didn't you? Wow, I got a hug from Heidi Klum, and as a non-gay man, that's not the worst thing in the world is it fellow non-homosexuals? Look at my boner!
I would almost say you didn't deserve to be kicked off this week if not for that...



Jillian
It's looks better in this picture then it did on the runway. I really liked the back, but the front didn't quite make it. Cute colors, awkward construction.


Christian
Man, you must've been on your period this week. You were a negative nancy. Your dress was a mess. Basically, you did a couture runway piece for a typical American body, and frankly, that's just mean. There's plenty of ways to flatter a full figured woman and you really just made the poor opinionated girl look bad...


Kit
This dress was actually my favorite. Bold, funky and very cute!


Ricky
Your dress was the worst. Poorly constructed, sloppy, ugly color. You should've been in the bottom two and gone home, but it seems like they keep you around week after week for your lost puppy personality alone.


Rami
So old looking. It wasn't ugly, but it was totally wrong for the tone of prom. Misfire.

Afterward:
Am I the only one that thought having the highschoolers on the judging runway with the designers was mean? Some of these girls liked their dresses and were judged to be the worst designs. Kevin's girl looked crestfallen and they're sitting there looking at her and saying it looks cheap, etc. Couldn't a teenage girl easily confuse criticism of their outfit with criticism of them? No young woman needs to be pageant-ified if they didn't choose that life (because let's face it, so many actresses, singers, and models are teenagers who make their living on their looks, but that doesn't mean the average girl should be subjected to those standards). I just hope those girls knew what they were getting into and had thick skin...

Candy, Girls!

Zac Posen and a boatload of candy all in one ep?! you may have kept me waiting for 2 lonely weeks, but baby, it was worth the pain. This episode was not only the first really creative assignment to date this season, but it was also full of comedy.
The first bit that caught my eye?
Kevin, who's certainly not gay and never was, bemoaning the fact that his passel of homosexual housemates is gone from his room.
Then during cattle call, Christian dumps his model and mouths something to the tune of "I still love you, baby" to which she might as well have mouthed "Fuck off, bitch."
Of course, Ricky was brought to tears in the first five minutes just because he had the last pick and had to send two models out to pasture...just let him go first people, we don't need another trail of tears!
Did anyone else besides me pity the poor woman who was the spokesperson for Hershey? I know candy sells itself, but take a public speaking class honey! A robot with cue cards would've been an improvement.
And for the few of you who don't tivo/dvr and skip the commercials, what kind of uppers is Santino on now? I don't remember that much enthusiasm from him in his whole season on PR.


Ricky
Boy! This skirt looks like a pot-bellied stove...no...check that...it looks like one of your damned ugly hats. How's a girl supposed to rock that inflatable ass outfit!?
You were lucky the top half was okay and there was other boring ass shit around to save your ass from being grass...


Chris
I didn't really love or hate it, but the judges weren't wrong when they admired your uncharacteristic restraint.


Kit
Very punk rock. Very fun.


Elisa
"Magic, Magic, Magic!"
Ick! Honey there was a reason that this was your time to be aufed. God love you, the sob story this ep only telegraphed your demise. You are very sweet for a crazy person and we'll likely miss your antics.


Kevin
You're an inverse function. The more I hate you personally, the more I like your designs. Your 40's look this week is the outfit that I would be most likely to sport. You worked it out, even if you are homophobic, and not gay, and whatnot. I loved that for once I bought your Jersey tough guy routine when you threatened to off Christian.


Christian
"Great, we just make shit out of candy"
"This is my pile, bitches, don't touch it!"
You and your potent quotables are the highlight of this season. and the hair.
Your dress was pretty, but can't you use a jewel tone once in awhile? What's with all the darkness? It's all black and brown until you team up and make an ugly robins egg blue spandex monster a few weeks ago. It wasn't the color! It was the dress!


Sweet P
Boring. You're flailing far to much to be in the final 9.


Rami
I loved it as art, not as an actual outfit. Very couture. It reminded me of a biker harajuku girl. Maybe a waitress in Blade Runner? It was quite eye-catching and you deserved the win.


Jillian
It didn't do it for me, but my husband did like it. I loved the idea and the candy was a bold (and foolhardy) choice, but it just didn't fit the way a non-candy version would've. Course, I'm not a fan of the disembodied neckline strapless dress. I remember hating the motion of this Nicole Kidman Oscar dress.

I'm of the opinion that a strapless dress should be fitted on top, after all we don't want our tits popping out on national television, now do we ladies? Though I guess neither Nicole Kidman, nor a supermodel, is a good example of someone who has to worry about a breastacle accident.


Victorya
Boring and ugly. Looks like a Stepford wife's apron dress. The only striking thing was that pose you were so proud of "devising" because it made your model look like a retarded robot.

Afterward:
The more I see Jillian, the more of a problem I think she has. Not that everyone else isn't posturing, but she seems to have ZERO confidence. She is always so careful and primped and rigid, just waiting to be mocked or beat up. People don't like a mannequin, so drop your shields and get real!

A little 80's magic to fill the void!

I stumbled across this video and decided to post it to satisfy the hungry fans since PR is in repeats for the next two weeks...Enjoy!

The Biggest Losers

So this week's challenge was to create an outfit for a woman who recently dropped a ton of weight, the twist being it had to be from their old oversized favorite outfit (plus a little something extra from Mood)...

Jack
Farewell! What a sad and unattractive way to go, with a swollen face...Get well and come back puffy-free and fabulous, I'm sure no one would protest!
However, your passing from the competition signaled the return of the fabulous, and gone too soon, Chris



Sweet P
Meh.


Jillian
Meh.
Don't know what the judges saw in that. Your use of the favorite outfit was cheap.


Ricky
*sob* Makes me remember why I hate you...This looks like a Kmart outfit. Blech.


Chris
I love you. I was sad to see you leave over Ricky. We could totally do each other's hair and watch awesome 80's movies together...
Why did you have to go and do this? What a hot mess this poor woman is. Michael Kors called it 50's Parisian hooker, I call it ugly. Please don't make this second chance a trip through a revolving door!


Christian
So many great quotes from you today:
"How fierce is it?" -Tim Gunn (awwww)
"It's pretty fierce"
"I can't make you have an ass"
You should be on "Kids say the Darndest Things" before you grow up.
What could you have made? Was it...another jacket, perhaps?! Shocking. It may be the first outfit you've made that was appealing to me. Maybe going for commercial appeal, and perhaps a non-jacket? is the key to your success...


Victorya
Yawn.


Elisa
Who were the "ultimate judges" you are trying to satisfy? Are you talking about the voices in your head again, dear? It boggles my mind that they put you in the bottom two over Chris. Honestly. They just weren't prepared to kick him off again and so they put poor Steven against something that looked infinitely better. You were a ringer honey. Your outfit was funky and perhaps not fitting to the client's personality, or body (she looks like she's hiding a ghetto booty somewheres in there), but it wasn't hate inducing. Get down with your kooky self. I love that you're not a weeper, we got too many this season.


Kit
I liked this dress (at least the shape). The neon is garish, but it was nice and easy looking to throw on and be comfortable.


Kevin
Once again I am shocked. I loved this. I LOVE button detailing though. That's what made me forgive your personality the last two rounds...keep on buttoning, okay?


Steven
Oh Steven. To coin your phrase "Sweet merciful crap." First of all, glue, really? You know you deserved it. Don't kid yourself. That dress looked like the dress Olive Oyl would wear to Popeye's funeral. It was like a Hollywood nun costume. Terrible. Ick. You should be ashamed that this woman brought in a wedding dress (albeit ugly, cheap, and tacky) and you were too snobbish to even think about using it for anything but an accent! Did it ever occur to you to dye it?


Rami
The top was cute. You love the drape-y, twisty jersey eh? The skirt kinda reminded me of Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Too many seams and buttons in a weird place (and I like buttons, too!) The color was icky. I have to assume that was made from her old clothes...so I guess you did the best you could.
