Out of everything that came down the runway this episode, this was our favorite, even if it wasn’t without problems. This is what people from Texas look like on Planet Gay. Before we get into the dress – not literally, kittens – can we just say that we hated Julia’s...
S1/E9: Congratulations Wendy.Ahhhh…the rage came back last night watching this, didn’t it? This is what muppet hookers look like from the back. There’s something weird about that bust. Somehow it manages to make Melissa’s boobs look small while simultaneously giving her the oh-so-classy... Shoeby Dooby DooWendy, Wendy, Wendy. What are we gonna do with you? The confusion on their faces is priceless. You just know they thought someone sent the model down the runway in the wrong outfit. It’s practically impossible to critique this outfit. Like sending a food critic to... Life In ScarlettlandApparently, in Scarlettland mail carriers look like blueberries. Or Paddington Bear. We suspect Scarlettland is a magical place with beautiful people. Oh, honey no. This was another instance of Austin being handed a challenge that was completely outside his milieu. Just not his thang. That... Jaybird: Always a bridesmaid…Once again, a Project Runway designer is forced to walk the cold streets of New York, whorin’ for models. What’s up with that? Twice in one season, the model just doesn’t show up. For all the on-camera drama, was Jay really in any danger of being auf’d because his... Mustache, He WroteLadies and Gentlemen, Project Runway presents a whodunnit. Our suspects. You’ll not find a shadier group of characters. The Mentor: Kind, stern, wise, hot. But is he hiding something? The Gay Clown: Sarcastic, biting, talented. Are his sharp words masking something? The Dumb Stud: Dumb.... Do Svidanya, Robbio!We’re feeling uncharacteristically kind-hearted. To be honest, conceptually, this was actually a very good idea. It’s the execution that was piss-poor. We thought that the basic idea behind it was sound. It still looked like a uniform but with slightly more style and with comfort... S1/E8: Congratulations Kara Saun (again)!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.... 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!... |
