God, this was gorgeous. The judging was unusually good this week and we have to reiterate what Duchess Kors said: somehow, she managed to make a postal uniform look sexy while still looking like a postal uniform. While we think this outfit would look good on a variety of body types, we...
Bring it, Bitch!Okay, here’s a shocker: we didn’t hate this. We didn’t exactly love it, but it followed the dictates of the collection to the letter and you can tell she made the effort to make the piece look like the rest of the collection (as it was explained to her). Granted, it... The Scarlett Letter: FDid you ever watch a fish flapping around out of water or a turtle on its back trying to right itself? That was Austin this week. Poor thing. This challenge was not only not up his alley, it’s pretty much antithetical to his entire aesthetic. Austin doesn’t “do”... Whorin’ It Up for FashionWell, we guess it’s somewhat comforting to know that we’ll still have street urchins in 2055. We wonder if they’ll still have a tendency to break into song, the plucky little moptops. Seriously, what the fuck? This is hideous. Somewhere along the line, Robert must have... There’s no "I" in "team" but ...This was the one where Wendy showed her true colors. After this, there was no one left to defend her or think the best of her. Poor Kevin. Yeah, he was a lousy team leader but he clearly didn’t want the position. “Ha. Kevin. Sucks to be you, dude.” Although... Polly PoddieJaysus was way too hard on himself. We loved this. The logo, the way he used the lace, the belt, the masterful skirt – it all looked like old done new, which, since that was pretty much exactly the idea behind the collection, made him a contender for the win as far as we’re... Seeya, Kevin!We don’t get this one at all. In another collection, this look might have worked, except there’s so many problems with it that we’re stuck scratching our heads and trying to figure it out. The biggest mystery of course, is what the hell he was thinking producing such a... The End of an EraAnd so, the reign of Empress Morgan the First came to a quiet and appropriately bizarre end. That is pure concentrated evil coming out of those eyeballs. What some people don’t realize is that after she left the show, Morgan moved to the Swiss Alps and built a house out of... S1/E7: Congratulations Kara Saun (again)!Go, girl! This was gorgeous. Imaginative, well-thought-out, and believable. None of which is particularly surprising because Kara Saun is a costume designer. This kind of challenge is right up her alley. We absolutely love the use of the leather jacket to make the bodice. Less crazy about the... Dear Bravo,Here is your next reality show. No need to thank us, just get it done. Meet AUSTIN! He’s a flamboyant wedding dress designer with his own quirky sense of style! Meet JAY! He’s a sarcastic, struggling fashion designer trying to launch his line in the cold hard world of New York!... The Rest of the RestLook! A sports car! Oh wait, that’s a woman. We get the two confused so often. Oh Robert, if women are like sports cars, you just sent a Pacer down the runway. For someone who’s whole schtick seems to be how sexy he finds women, he sure has problems highlighting their natural... The Best of the RestThis was just okay, which is surprising coming from Kara Saun. The wrap is pretty, but the suit is just basic. And that bottom is poorly fitted. Looking a little Blue Lagoon there. If she really wanted to be original, she should have sent this down the runway for the bridal gown competition.... Christmas BitchesWe unexpectedly had a chance recently to sit and paw through an entire stack of guilt-inducing women’s magazines’ annual Christmas issues. From Martha to the Ladies Home Journal, every last page haughtily proclaimed “You’ll never do anything as nice as this, you... Princess Morgan in the Land of Make BelieveWe don’t get it. Seriously, we don’t get how this is considered a bathing suit. It looks like your standard slut uniform: Skin tight, low cut top with a uterus skirt. Who wears something like this to go swimming? Ah. Of course. Clearly, he was designing with the crazy in mind. How... Babes, Bikinis, and Blue BallsOnce again, Project Runway treats us to the potent combination of designers, models, cameras and liquor. Now that’s good television. Dancing models in bikinis! With liquor! Psychotic, possibly medicated model! With liquor! Underage model with a body built for sin acting like a whore!... Adios, Alexandra!We didn’t really think the judges had a good reason to auf her, so they made one up. The only design issue was that it was too small for the model to wear. Otherwise, it was a perfectly good bathing suit and better than at least a couple of the other ones on the runway. Good god, girl!... S1/E6: Congratulations, Austin!Congrats to Austin! While we think this is a pretty bathing suit, this was, for the most part, a bullshit challenge. Winning it had more to do with how well the designer and model could whore themselves rather than how well the garments were designed. And apparently, there are no 2 bigger... Alexandra, Kevin, and Olga The TerribleFeh. Alexandra really likes that loose, flowy stuff but she looks like a stack of lampshades. Yeah….no. If there was a critique, we would offer it, but this is just bland and nondescript. A little too grecian for our tastes and like a lot of the offerings this week, it looks less like a... Robert & WendyWe wanted to break these up as the “Best of the Rest” and the “Rest of the Rest,” but really, there wasn’t enough of a difference so we’re doing it kind of arbitrarily. Lorenzo nailed it. He said she looked like the bride on top of the cake and he’s... Bridal WaveAnd Tropical Storm Morgan keeps rolling along, destroying everything in her wake. Poor Jay. It’s to his credit that he didn’t have a complete design meltdown. Despite having quite possibly the worst client ever, he still maintained both his composure (relatively speaking)... Austin Scarlett, Man of MysteryGirl, what the hell were you thinking? “So, I figured, ‘Why not shake things up and dress her up like a Chinese dragon?’ I mean, when you think about it, it only makes sense, right?” Before we get to the dress, can we just say… …we hate the... Wet Hot American Fashion DesignersThose whacky designers have done it again! Hey! Nora and Austin are wearing pieces from the Sarah Hudson dresses! How is it that we never noticed that before? We’re surprised they were allowed to take them out. Was Bravo not auctioning off the garments this early in... SayaNora!WARNING! WARNING! We are heading into a bra-free zone! Please keep your hands inside the car and refrain from jumping up and down! Poor thing. She tried to give her client what she wanted and what her client wanted was the fashion equivalent of one of those 99-cent greeting cards covered in... Plastic FantasticWe both recently turned 40 and when that happens, one naturally tries to take stock in one’s life and in doing so, ask that most inevitable and important question: How much work should I get done? Oh, don’t look at us like that. Like you never asked the question? Not once? If the... S1/E5: Congratulations Kara Saun!And it’s Kara Saun for the win again! We couldn’t have agreed more. This gown was GORGEOUS. The one thing that T&L were in disagreement over was the trim around the neckline. Lorenzo loved it but Tom didn’t think it was necessary. God bless freeze-framing, because this... MORGANZA!!!!!!!We told you she was crazy, didn’t we? They should’ve just stapled a wig to her head. What she needs? She needs to up her dosage, that’s what she needs. We like the “Go down and get her.” Like she’s an unruly dog or something. This will now officially be... |
