Episode 7: Jeffrey is a giant shithead

Perhaps even more offensive than Vincent's win was Jeffrey's totally bastard behavior towards Angela's mom. Laura should've been mean to Jeffrey's mom just for birthing such a shithead. Yes, Robert's outfit looked like a hot-air balloon, but at least he respected his model's taste & tried to please her. Jeffrey's, on the other hand, looked like a giant bruise.

Uli clearly deserved to win - the judges are on such crack about Vincent! As Tim Gunn said in his blog - "Congratulations, Vincent, whatever you are." Michael's dress was good, but I miss the sassy Michael; b/t last week & this week, he's looking less distinctive. Laura's dress was her first big faux-pas, but her comments about popping out another kid more than made up for it.

So how weird was it to see Michael Kors's mom? She seemed sweet, but is it really ok for a son to be his mother's twin? There's something so Freud-meets-Psycho about it all. And did they really have to dress alike too? Btw, Maya, you're totally right - Michael's definitely had a little nip-&-tuck action recently.

P.S. Welcome, Laurie!

i miss season 2

last episode was too devestating.  poor allison. what are they thinking to kick off cutie allison?  everytime i hear about vincent and his 401k, i boil.  he continually is in the last 3, but i haven't seen him redeem himself to make it this far.  i fear he's a wendy pepper... they're keeping him just because of his wackiness.

why does everyone hate laura?  at least she designs and the feedback she gives (although harsh) is spot on.  and she doesn't whine like angela does.  btw, have you noticed that angela's gone quiet?

one of these days, i'm going to put together my own mashup video.  last season was such a joy to watch, the quality of clothing was higher and the judges kicked off the right people.  big sigh.

Episode 6: WTF, Project Runway?!

who the hell hijacked the Project Runway we all know & love & turned it into the most heartless show ever? sure, Alison's dress looked terrible, but my Gawd, did they SEE Kayne's?? how many more cute, endearing, moderately talented people are they going to cut for jackasses like bag lady/crackwhore Angela and future-serial-killer Vincent? i'm really glad that Michael won again, but hell, at this rate, they'll probably cut him next week.

Laura's dress, while a snooze, looked perfect as ever. but while i agreed w/ her critiques of Kayne & Vincent, she should really watch it w/ the vaguely Wendy-Pepperish, "Mommy knows best" attitude. Jeffrey made his least-offensive outfit yet, but i still wasn't impressed (that dumb "belt" looked like it was painted on by a mentally handicapped 2nd-grader with the shakes).

Episode 5: Hot Pants & Tinkertoys

noooooooooo!! poor sweet Bradley, banished forever, while Basket-Hat Vincent and Future-Bag-Lady Angela live to see another day...O, the injustice!

the outfits were pretty terrible across the board - Uli's purple-serpent nightmare, Kayne's ill-fitted Elvira dress, Jeffrey's bulletproof bustiere. on the bright side, Laura's Katherine Hepburn was, predictably, perfect, and at LAST, Michael got his due! the fuschia, the hot pants, the gorgeous model (she's easily the best Project Runway model ever) - sha-ZAM, it was just perfect. i'll be rooting for him now that - snif - Bradley's gone, & of course, for Alison, 'cuz i think it'd be fun to watch her use her powers of cuteness for evil by killing off her opponents one by one.

Episode 4: The Anti-Climax

i agree - as is so often the case, the end result didn't live up to the hype. Keith's being kicked off seemed so natural, & he seemed so ok w/ it, that i barely noticed. all the outfits were terrible too. how is anything right w/ the world when Angela wins a challenge? why was it yet another team challenge? & where is Michael Kors?? but at least my boy, 'squid-with-no-ocean' Bradley, is safe for another week.

Aside: i watched 'Queer Eye' for the first time in years this week. there is something absolutely godawful-wrong about that show now - it was horribly edited, felt like one long product-placement, & seemed completely smarmy. God, don't let that happen to Project Runway.
