I know the show is more than a day away, but i wanted to share this link a friend of mine sent to me.
It’s a blog devoted to the show, and some of the commentary is pretty funny. I love the names they give to some of the designers, like “Captian Haldol” for Vincent.
I wonder if Vincent would seem as crazy if he talked a little bit less like a stoned Woody Allen. Hmm.
–I didn’t hate Kayne’s outfit and couldn’t quite get all the scorn heaped on it. Was it the butterfly wings? Just not that bad IMO, and didn’t wrinkle at all. Very Kayne, anyway, and if he can’t make it in this competition while being Kayne, that’s OK. There will always be the pageant circuit.
–Jeffrey is a mean, nasty peanuthead, but his outfit was cool on the runway. I did think it looked a little, ahem, binding in the crotch. He had a win coming, and if Vincent could win, he could too. But you know, he’s got to bitch AGAIN about Angela’s mom AND not winning at least one other time. Whiny jerk.
–Michael rocks it again. What can I say? He’s the man to beat. His outfit looked more comfortable than Jeffrey’s.
–Laura’s dress was sleek and looked cool, though I wanted to smack her when she said she looked “chubby.” What???
–Uli’s dress was, as Kors said, just too much. Also, she’s getting as one-note as Laura was accused of being with the wacky print flowy things.
–Vincent, surprisingly out of character BORING, skates through again.
–Jubilee Jumbles strikes out with her fleuchons. Why does she not understand that no one likes those things but her? And when will these people learn about linen? It’s not a friendly fabric, no matter how nice it feels. You wear it when you don’t care if you look like a giant walking wrinkle. I almost wanted her to be in, though, because Jeffrey’s gloating made me want to punch him.
Yeah, Jeffrey deserved the win this week, without a doubt. I thought his outfit was great, and it totally suited him. Michael’s was also awesome, as usual.
I agree that Uli is looking more and more one-dimensional, although i got a bit annoyed with the judges telling her that the dress would be fine for Miami, LA, etc., but not for other places. The judges let all the other designers tell their own stories about what type of international jetsetter they wanted to be, but they seemed compelled to dictate to Uli where she should take her outfit.
Laura’s was OK, but nothing special.
I also thought that Kayne was not as bad as some of the judges suggested, although he could have done a similar look but made it slightly more understated. I really liked his shirt, and it think it was the belt and the sunglasses that made it so over-the-top Elvis.
Vincent was dull and rather predictable.
What to say about Angela? That was just a mess. No doubt it was the worst one of the bunch.
I think this is the first week when i’ve agreed with the judges about both first place and last place…
Jeffrey continues to be a dick. I’m not sure if it’s real, or if he’s decided that he wants to be the controversial contestant (a la Santino, only worse) this year.
Despite the fact that Angela deserved to go, i’ve actually come to like her more over the past few weeks. Her early season stupidity was left behind, and she seems pretty nice.
Anyway, another good episode. Looking forward to next week.
I find it hard to believe a bunch of designers wouldn’t have guessed they were going to Paris. Paris, Milan and London should’ve been the first three guesses, in that order. I hope that was all editing.
I wasn’t that impressed with any of the designs. Laura’s dress was pretty, but what was up with the color? Not good for her, I thought.
Uli did an Uli dress.
Vincent bored me
Jeffrey was an ass, as usual. I have three words for Jeffrey: Let It Go
I kinda liked Michael’s pants except for the strings hanging off them. The shirt was cool. Its good to see that he takes Tim’s advice into consideration.
I didn’t think Kayne’s outfit was that bad. It was very Kayne, which is what it should’ve been.
Angela, Angela, Angela. You definitely get the Jubilee Jumbles award. At least we won’t have to see another fluerchon again.
I liked Kayne’s shirt. It would’ve looked great with jeans. It was the same color pants plus the bling, that made it look like an Elvis jumpsuit.
Perfect description!! Couldn’t agree more.
I was soooo hoping that Jeffrey would screw up or his spandex pants would split and get voted off.
And something about the cut of the pants made him look Fat Elvis, not Skinny Elvis.
Laura is pregnant. Hence her comment about looking “chubby,” although FTR she said the dress DIDN’T make her look chubby.
Kayne’s outfit was very, very Kayne. We all know he’d wear lovely butterfly prints every day if he could. That’s just Kayne.
As someone on the Project Runway lj community pointed out, it’s no surprise that the designer from CK loved Vincent’s outfit. It was Calvin Klein, pretty much. Of course, everyone else found it boring, which it was… but very CK anyway. I still think he deserved to be in the bottom two, much more than Kayne did.
I love Uli. I’m still waiting for her to do something with some structure. She needs to step up her game in terms of versatility. Laura’s dress was lovely and very different for her - and totally the wrong color. It sort of just blended into her skin. She needs to get a bit more Kara Janx with it.
I think Michael remains the man to beat.
Can’t disagree a whit with this week’s winners and losers, though. Angela’s outfit was everything I’ve ever hated about her style. Jeffrey’s was very very rock star, very sleek, very cool. Even down to the bulge decorations - Come on, you know all rock stars want to look like they’ve got cobras in their pants. And the moment Heidi said it looked expensive… it was all over. Those seem to be the magic words.
Incidentally, the winner in terms of hair and makeup was Laura. Damn, they made her look good.
Uli’s was comfortable to travel in because it was a mixed pattern bed-sheet. Laura’s needed to be at least a slightly different color than her skin tone. Loved Michael’s. Slept through Vincent’s. Jeffrey’s was OK but did he really have to BeDazzle his crotch?
Poor Kayne. He really looked like he was about to vomit. Kayne, if you learn nothing else from this, learn this. Listen To Tim!
And Angela. Sad, wrinkled, deluded Angela. Not only did your fleuchons flounder, but WTF was going on with your night gown? It looked like 5 chenille toilet seat covers sewn together and covered with ugly flower thingies!
My thought on seeing Angela’s sleepwear is that it would scare the erection out of any man who was waiting in bed for her.
We all know she’s pregnant, but she still didn’t look chubby. I could barely tell.
Anyone else take note of the fact that last week, Jefrrey flat-out told Angela’s mother he could NOT make a jacket for her in one day… then this week, made one for himself? Lying little peanuthead.
I liked the back and straps on Uli’s dress but it was just a couple feet too long to be practical. I’m not sure I understand why the judges were giving her such a hard time about where she would travel in it. Like she told them, “these are places I would go” and the challenge was to outfit themselves as a jetsetter and a jetsetting Uli would go to Miami and LA.
Michael’s was perfection, as per usual.
I didn’t mind Kayne’s outfit but I can’t believe he was naive (or arrogant?) enough to practically shoo Tim Gunn away from his work space. That’ll come back to haunt him, I bet. First rule of PR: You ALWAYS listen to Tim.
Angela’s outfit–Can you imagine sitting on those butt flourishes for 10 hours on a plane?
Jeffery (aka Penis Neck)–He’s trying way to hard to be another obnoxious Santino but he’s missing one crucial factor. Santino could turn on the charm when he wanted or needed to. Jeffery is just pure obnoxiousness. But I have to say I did laugh at his comment “I won’t know what to do after the show without Tim Gunn popping up randomly in my life”.

I’d love to have Tim Gunn popping up randomly in my life and looking over my outfit choice for the day and telling me, “I’m* concerned* about these 3 year old faded yoga pants and 15 year old Cure concert tshirt. Do you really want to wear this out in public? Is this really say “I’m going to the grocery store to pick up a few things” or does it say “I just put on the first two things I pulled out of the drawer and can’t be bothered.”? Make it work.”
That’s what she said (that it didn’t show), so I don’t get the criticism.
I’ve noticed lately Laura can say three sentences in a row without one being (or beginning with) the words, “I’m an architect.” That’s impressive.
No, she said that it DID show, and that she thought she looked chubby, not pregnant. Actually, she looked neither. She looked like a rwoman with a little tiny tight but slighlt convex belly that most regular woman would kill for. Her belly is flatter than most 20 year olds’, forget about a mother of 5 with another on the way. The very idea that she looked remotely chubby is absurd. But I guess every woman thinks she looks worse than she does.
No, she said “I look pregnant, not chubby.”
(Not that she looked pregnant, either.)
