LeannologyDarlings, now comes one of our favorite parts of every season: the “ology” posts. This is when we look at the entire output of each remaining designer to see if we can find some common themes and make some predictions about their runway show. Of course, we’ve already seen... Homeward BoundDarlings, if you’re a long-time minion, you know how much we enjoy what we call the “homeward bound” episode at the end of every season. You can read our original thoughts on why we love it so much here. Basically, what we love most about it is that it fills in the blanks on... There was a little girl who had a lot of curls…We said it last week: when Korto goes off the rails, she really goes off the rails. At her best, she produces interesting, sometimes eye-popping, innovative designs, but in her quest to be different, she sometimes winds up with designs that aren’t so much eye-popping as eye-searing. With Korto, it’s either amazingly beautiful or insanely ugly. We think there’s a reason for that. We said that Leanne has an intellectual approach to design. When Leanne fails, the result is usually bland or boring. At the opposite end of the spectrum is Korto, who has not so much an intellectual approach as an emotional one. She needs to... Wedding NoodlesThe judges’ reaction to this dress was one of, if not the, most overwhelmingly positive reactions to a garment the judges have ever had on the show. At one point during the breathless gushing, Tom turned to Lorenzo and said, “Wow. They are totally moist.” And rightfully so.... Miss CongenialityOnce again, kittens… Let’s get to it. Not that we were ever completely won over by her, but when she made her totally half-assed apology to the other designers in their hotel suite, we thought, “Ok, she at least tried to give the appearance of being a little... We have no witty title. This blows.It was bullshitty in the first place that Jerell even had to compete for a spot in Bryant Park. He won that last challenge and by the rules of the competition that should have guaranteed him a spot. Unfortunately for him, the producers just couldn’t leave well enough alone. Which, come... Judy Noodles Responds!Darlings, you asked and we got the answer. Leanne, we’re getting a TON of emails asking us why you switched models. You mentioned on the show that you thought Suede had an advantage by having Tia etc etc. Do you want to add anything to that for our readers? I had no idea we would be... We’re Having Our Own Damn Reunion Show!Hit it, Heidi! “We picked the fifteen – or sixteen, I can never remember – most talented designers and flew them to New York to compete for the opportunity of a lifetime. Tonight all of them meet again for the first time since they gathered in New York. We’ll see... From the Carrie White CollectionEven though she’s clearly among the top contenders and has been since day one, when Korto makes a misstep, it’s a major one. Case in point. Without being told ahead of time, we never would have guessed that this was a Korto creation. Where’s the volume? The rich colors? The... The Return of the NoodleWell, after last week’s practically noodle-free look (that the judges didn’t like), Judy brought them back in a big, big way. We’re of two minds on this one. Lorenzo thinks it’s gorgeous and Tom thinks it’s good, but problematic. We can both agree that she did... Total TulleAlright, kittens. Let’s get to it . Look, once again we need to remind everyone that we’ve hardly been in the tank for Mean Girl. Why do we feel the need to remind everyone of that? Because we think she’s not nearly as bad as people seem to think. The... Congrats, Jerell!You did it again, girl! Unfortunately, you did it again in the bullshittiest episode of the season. What a bunch of sourpusses. This happens every season. They whittle it down to 4 or 5 exhausted designers, hand them an ill-defined “inspiration” challenge (along with a camera) and... It’s Kenley, Bitch.Alright, there’s only one dress left and we barely have anything to say about it so we might as well get started. Jerell had the easiest time of it this challenge. Partially because he had a pretty model that could pull off the look he was assigned (unlike most of the designers) and... Country Style NoodlesOh, right. An episode aired last week, didn’t it? It would be difficult to determine exactly which designer had the toughest job but it’s probably a tossup between Kenley having to make Leanne look hip hop and Leanne having to make Korto look country. We know one thing: Their... PRG Toons!Magical Elf Alex comes through for us while we earn a buck and looks at the musical styles the producers may have missed. [Illustrations: Alex... Nina Said Knock You Out!Have you ever seen Tim look so ready to throttle someone in his life? And this is a man who’s spent a lot of time with Santino and Wendy Pepper. Disaster. Seriously, what are we supposed to say? Are we supposed to explain why she didn’t get auf’d? Well, we can’t. Judy... Congrats, Country Korto!We have to admit, there are times when Korto can be pretty annoying but last night wasn’t one of them. We were laughing out loud at every other line that came out of her mouth last night. As for the design… It was okay. We’re not saying it didn’t deserve the win. To... The Technical Term for This is "Bullshit."Honeys, we don’t think anyone with a brain could accuse us of being in the bag for Suede this season. He’s certainly received more than his share of T Lo bitchery, but this decision is pure horseshit, right up there with Nick’s auf’ing to keep Santino in the game and... PRG Toons!Once again, Alex tries on dresses and once again he makes Lorenzo (to his eternal annoyance) look like a Mexican Tintin. Clickie to biggie, bitches! [Illustrations: Alex... Separates That Should’ve Been SeparatedCongrats, Holly’s mom! We knew someone in this crowd would win the Pushy Mother Award and guess what? It’s you! “Just ignore her.” And thus is summed up every mother-daughter relationship since the beginning of time. Unfortunately, Judy Noodles did not do enough... |
