You know, it’s really saying something when your dress can be accurately compared to a turkey, a baboon’s ass, and Carmen Miranda on acid all at the same time. It is at this point that the designer should take a moment to reflect. Perhaps in such cases a change of course is in...
We’re still pissed.Lorenzo needed time alone last night to compose himself after we watched this again. This is the bullshittiest of bullshit judgments. Oh Not-Nina. How we hate you. Bitch needs to get the hell over her sour self and at least attempt to be consistent when she’s being a bitch. It was both... S2/E7: Congratulations Zulema!We’re sorry, but this is pure fugnificence. Imagine for a moment that this is flawlessly executed (I know, right?). Even without the puckery and ill-fittery, it’s just a hopelessly ugly and unflattering design. We honestly have no idea what the judges or Sasha saw in this thing,... Nicotino: Crash and BurnThis was a disastrously bad pairing of two opposing aesthetics and personalities. Santino’s all structure and form and occasionally deconstruction. Santino wants to make a statement. Whereas Nick’s all Glam! Fierce! Body! Nick wants to make an impact. The outfit isn’t... You better cry and cut!Sometimes – not always, mind you, but sometimes – the manipulated drama on Project Runway really does foster some interesting results. All too often, and probably to the producers’ delight, the drama produces nothing more than, well…drama, but this time it worked. This... Chloe & Emmett: You wuz ROBBED!This should have been the winner, poodles. No doubt about it. It was chic and stylish, perfectly executed, and the window looked fantastic. That skirt is hot. You know, normally we’d hate a big floppy bow on a blouse like this. Always makes us think of Lily Tomlin in “Nine to... Ciao, Ladies!Sometimes those judges can be a bunch of drama queens. Don’t get us wrong. For the most part, we agreed with their assessment that this was too severe, too retro (neither of which was helped by the styling) and just not the Banana Republic look. Add to that, some issues of poor... Congratulations Daniel and Andrae!Truth be told, we don’t love this outfit. The dress itself has some nice detailing and it’s well executed but we both went “Hunh?” when Nina called it “modern.” We were thinking exactly the opposite. It just looked so done to us. See, this just falls into... One we loved and two we absolutely HATEDY’know, we’ve given Andrae a lot of grief in the past, but credit where credit’s due, this is a really beautiful dress. It’s feminine, chic and understated, which is ironic because we wouldn’t have used ANY of those words to describe his previous entries.... Three More We LikedY’know, almost everyone brought their A game this week because there were an unusually high number of good entries. This is a reversal of the normal Project Runway blogging phenomenon known as recap/rethink. Normally, when we have to rethink a garment it’s because we... Three We LikedWe’ve got a lot of catching up to do, Poodles! Hot. Hot to death. Daniel’s been pretty underwhelming up till now, but this was his breakout dress. Love the bustline and the straps. And we love the way he used the print, layering it to get exactly the effect he... Seeya Lupe!Lupe! Lupe! Lupe! Lupe! This concludes our critique of this garment. [Screencaps:... S2/E5: Congratulations, Santino!This is definitely a case of recap/rethink. We always …if not exactly liked the dress, could see why it won and had no problem with the win. Once we got the screencaps though, we have to say this ain’t all that hot a frock. The color’s pretty and the braiding was kind of... Daniel Franco: Once More. With Feeling.“You see, Heidi, I don’t want to just “have sex” with a woman. I want to make love to her. Therefore, I think lingerie should be about making love and not about trashy, dirty, sweaty, marathon sex. Can you see my wispy little chest hairs from there? Should I move in... Showdown on the RunwayKittens, do you have any idea how hard it was to write this post? How do you make jokes about clothes that are ALREADY jokes? It’s ironic that Nick and Santino were making fun of Marla’s “whickety whack” last week, no? Since when does lingerie include tight pants? Oh,... Dirty DianaLike so much of what Diana does, this definitely had something going on even if the end product is a little bit of a head-scratcher. There was something about the concept that we responded to. It was definitely different and it had the potential to be interesting and sexy, but unfortunately,... Follow Your Bliss, Daniel!Boy, was THIS a bullshit auf’ing. Sure, the end product was dowdy and uncreative, but first and foremost, it looked like lingerie, which couldn’t be said about ANY of the other entries. Secondly, also unlike all the other entries, it was well made. And sure, making such a point... S2/E4: Congratulations Daniel V.!This was one bizarre episode. All this drama seemed to come flying out of nowhere and suddenly everyone DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH OHMIGOD!!!!! And then this stuff comes walking down the runway. Seriously? It took 3 people a day and a half to make this? As far as this collection... PoompaIn case you were wondering what floats in an Oompa Loompa’s toilet bowl… Now you know. We admit, we (like most sane people) have a bias against the bubble skirt. Rare is the occasion when the wearer doesn’t look like an escapee from the set of H.R. Pufnstuf, as you can well... Barbie! Now with "Aging Call Girl" and "...We were both ready to go into this with an “Oh, Marla’s dress wasn’t that bad” approach. Then we got the screencaps. Holy shit. It’s worse. It’s poorly executed AND an ugly design AND the fabric choices are all wrong AND she’s badly accessorized. You... Meet Barbie’s Cousins: Cliche and Ruche!We just cannot come to an agreement on this one, kittens. Lorenzo thinks it’s girly and fabulous and beautifully made and perfectly Barbie. But Tom thinks it looks like a cliche and he thinks it’s notable that it, more than any of the other designs, looks a little silly on the... |
