The Epitome of "Workin’ It."

I LOVE that picture! Laura looks fantastic! It could be a luggage advertisement.

OMG! That is the most FABULOUS picture of Laura.
I LOVE this woman.

She is my hero.

It is not a post-it. It. Is. Toilet. Paper. Stuck to her shoe.

GOOOOO Michael!

I saw the photo yesterday and just about fainted, this is a elegant woman. She looks like she’s ready to fly to Monaco and marry the Prince. In the Hollywwod Studio Era, Laura would have been going on auditions with elegant Grace Kelly, then stopping at Cote Basque for a light lunch to discuss their next movie roles. Laura is amazing. After I viewed the photo from Head to Toe, I swear I went and had a pedicure and manicure, I cleaned out my closet, throwing away every colorful old 80′s Benneton Sweater I had been saving just to remember those crisp fall days in NY. Oh Well…..I’m restocking my closet with classics now, Laura converted me, to become a grown-up, I just don’t know what I’ll do once she’s not on Project Runway each week, How will I know if I’ve got my outfit exactly right, without Laura to gaze at. Oh well…..I’m learning, thank you Laura, I’m dressing like a rich b%?$@….not that you are, I’ll say I’m dressing like a rich elegant stylish lady ..Already! Thank You Laura for your elegance.

“She’s bringin’ sexyback….Those other girls they don’t know how to act… Take it to the bridge!”

Laura is cooly-cool.

She wasn’t kidding when she said she’s “fabulously glamorous”! Mamma mia!!

She rocks my world.

I bet she’s a top! She’s certainly tops in my books … I’d totally switch for her! As long as she would take me shopping.

That bitch is FABULOUS!

Laura has all the soigne, and elan of Jackie O, but with the warmth, humor and “dame-ness” that Jackie never had. It doesn’t get any better than this.

Laura would gossip with Jackie Kennedy at the Russian Tea Room. Quietly talk, laugh, gaze around the room, talk some more. Truman Capote would pull up a chair with some really juicy gossip, all three, Laura,Jackie,Truman Capote ..would howl with laughter, then quietly smile, so elegantly when the whole room looks over at their table.

What are we to do when the season’s over? It’ll be like losing a friend.

I want her to write a style manual -think Mme. Dariaux crossed with Lauren Bacall with foreword by Slim Keith. God, she is such a Dame!I want to be Laura when I grow up except that we’re the same age, ugh.
Umm, all you people that think she keeps her hubster in the closet, they actually work together at the same architectural firm in NYC. It is also one of the best world wide at interiors, Shelton-Mindel.

LV Luggage full of Beeds ,Needles and Voodoo Vincent and Jeffrey dolls.

LV Baggage full of Beads,Needles, Voodoo Vincent and Jeffrey dolls.

Me too with no kids!!!

Dang, I just saw the title of this entry and thought it was going to be another front page story on you guys in People Magazine or something with a cover photo of you hugging Tim Gunn like a big gay Oreo cookie or ice cream sandwich.

Laura Bennett is my fashion icon.
She reminds me of Carole Lombard with the sense of humor and the old movie star elegance.
You keep working it girl!

definitely could be a LV ad. they should call her up cus she would be perfect.

Favorite Laura moments this season:
“the full tilt boogie extravaganza of fluff”…Laura

“Careful not to breathe Mommy’s air”…PRGayguys (THAT was when I first realized the scope of your genius!)

How on the Every Day Woman episode Joan and Michael Kors took one look around the group and decided Laura and her mother were the only people they would actually be able to speak to without throwing up in their own mouths.

I saw them hanging together an just thought, “Of COURSE”!

man….i’ll bet she is a hell of a lot of fun at a party with about 3 martinis in her and she has her full tilt boogie on.
thi woman needs to breed just to release more of her gene pool into the world.
a woman like laura could only hook up with a man as remarkable as she. what a wild ride they must be together.
the question is…..cloth or disposable diapers?
rock on laura. ROCK ON!

And to think the woman lost the Jet Set travel challenge. Her sense of style is a throwback to the silver screen icons of the 30′s and 40′s. She’s my hero!

Speaking of heroes, congrats to you both for the very much-deserved recognition. What are we going to do when this season’s PR ends?

Actually Cat, I was envisioning Vincent and his sister trying to chat up Michael & Joan. Michael making eye contact with Laura. Mouths “help me”. Laura and her Mom sweeping in and rescuing them…..

By the way, Michael Kors if you are reading this- and I know you are….(who ISN’T? We know you aren’t living under a rcok), no guilt babe. It was a motley crew (well, Robert’s sister was cute in a Gloria Estefan sort of way PLUS she lives in Europe so there’s THAT to talk about….)and any of us would have gravitated to Laura and her Mom too….

I just saved this pic to put on my inspiration board! I heart Laura sooo much… I also want to be like her when I grow up. There’s not a phony bone in this woman’s body. She’s the real thing! Born regal.

I bow at her feet.. **We’re not worthy** **we’re not worthy**

I have to admit it. For the first few shows Bad Mommy kind of worked my nerves. But now too… I adore her. Maybe it’s redhead solidarity?? She is yes utterly fabulous, doesn’t take any guff, and watching her with Michael… ooh so cute! That photo is the eptiome of all she stands for. Fantastic.

I’ve always had a crush on dreamy Emmett. He’s another one with movie star looks. Kiss,kiss,smooch!Anyway back to Laura, I think NYCITY should make that photo of Laura a postcard on how to travel. As far as the diapers go….. Laura does not do diapers, that’s for the nanny. Her husband has to be a hell of a man, yes sir. Laura’s not an easy one to rope down. Ha!!!

We all know what fag hags are. But what about gay men who are hags for women? Even as a gay man I just don’t get it. But then I did not care for Marilyn, Barbra, Susan Hayward, Judy, and many of the other “fabulous” women my folk fawn over. Seems like they either have to be someone you can go in drag as or they have to be more masculine than a gay man.

Prgayboys–explain what makes Laura “fabulous” as opposed to a mediocre wannabe designer. Is it just because she is the last fish in the barrel?

I trust no one who doesn’t find Mama fabulous.

Sacrilege! Blasphemy!
You must say 10 “Hail Judy”‘s, 20 “Our Barbra”‘s, and then watch a “Now, Voyager”/”Auntie Mame” double feature.

Go in peace.

OMG. I’m a straight woman of nearly 40 and I think I’m in love. Maybe just in “god, I wish I’d never bought sweatpants” envy. My kingdom for style like that (or even the luggage – can I just have the luggage? Drool. Slobber.) Note to self – buy red lipstick. And ditch the sweats.

At this point I don’t actually care who wins. We all know Laura needs the $100K about as much as she needs to get knocked up again three months after filming. But I pray she makes the final three just so we get footage of Tim making a housecall to the Bennett inner sanctum. I mean, do we care if we see Miami nice or ATL? Naaah. Do we want to get a glimpse into that Loft – Damn Skippy!

talix 18 – thank you so much! come visit me – Love, MadamO.

The reason that her own mother didn’t know he was pregnant was The only time laura sees her is when mer mother carries her laundry out of the basement, or when she slides her husband’s dinner under the closet door.
P.S. 3 of her children really live with her parents!

I don’t see the fuss over a painter plaster statue sitting on a luggage cart!

God bless the anonymity of the internet.

Anyway, back to what matters…She looks fabulous. In my opinion, she is the most fabulous contestant they’ve had on the show.
LOVE HER!

There’s no WAY she’s going to do the designing in her own house, more’s the pity. She’ll rent a fabulous studio with windows on all sides. Or maybe her husband’s building it as a surprise while she’s gone, wouldn’t that be cool?

I’d LOVE to see her house. I bet her living room is all white even with all those kids. GOD could I *possibly* be more jealous of her?! I have five kids too, and I can’t even get that fabulous in my dreams.

‘But then I did not care for Marilyn, Barbra, Susan Hayward, Judy, and many of the other “fabulous” women my folk fawn over…’

Sister, I feel ya on the whole Marilyn, Babs and Judy thing (but Susan Hayward was fab) — especially Babs (WTF?). However, Laura represents a bygone era, when most people made an effort to dress and present themselves well, regardless of the venue. She also has an classic aesthetic that seems effortless and that many a sweatershirted, Dickies-wearing slobs like myself admire and envy because she can pull it off and we can’t. And as I’ve said previously, she could hold her own at swanky cocktail party or at dive bar on the docks. Bad Mommy rules the school!

Nobody loves Laura.

They all want to be Laura.

Yes, Laura does dress better (less goofy) than the other designers. But bygone era? Laura is more like Grace of Will and Grace than Princess Grace.

Now Voyager with Bette, Queen of Bitches, I will gladly watch. Mame with Roz or Angela also.

Not every queen is screaming.
Not every gay is a stereotype.

She is perhaps my favorite reality contestant of all time — too fab for TV really. I heart her for several reasons: A) I still totally aspire to be more like her, even if I am technially “grown up.” B) I don’t want children, but if I ever change my mind, I’m pretty sure I’d adopt her child-rearing philosophy. C) My own mother is bascially Laura with fewer kids and a smaller bank account…right down to the vintage LV luggage and dry wit.

God I love her. She’s so fabulous it hurts!

I’ve fallen in love with Laura!

Laura is my Lauren Bacall. Sophisticated, but could kick some serious ass if need be.
