project runway season 10 - the post anya-era

sewing ability no longer a req 2 win iirc

also someone find me the gif of heidi doing dance charades on fallon the other night

there is a guy who is a FREEGAN fyi

Oh jesus Gunnar is one of the most nagliest fuckers I've ever seen. Like he's set out to be the villain just for the fucking hell of it; if you're going to be all LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME I'M SO LOLBITCHY at least have an understanding of the words that are coming out of your mouth. Saying Japanese streetwear "looks like Liberace threw up all over" is comically uninformed and dopey. Grow a fucking brian moran

omg yay I almost forgot. will watch tonite and report back

:D

- Gunnar is horrible. Just. Horrible. The bitchiness feels like a gimmick, and it's just gross.
- snuggie girl with her sad dress and aztec cape made me looool....and oh dear Lantie, so so very sad and lolsy with her snakeskin
- Japanese Afro boy is cuet like teddy bear, no idea what he's working but I'm on board for now. Shiny romper made me happy.
- ven? Veng? Pink and white fella - guessing he'll be our Rami? Bauhaus girl was p cool too.

Buffi is gonna work my last nerve maybe.

Some good tailoring in this group, it's giving me hope.

Buffi will be gone in 2 sec

her leopard print head is too much for me

Oh my Lantie.

I couldn't concentrate one bit during the runway show because I was trying my hardest to figure out of this guy was really a contestant, because I srsly didn't notice him till 45 minutes into the show.

I made this joke in season 8, but GUNNAR DEATHERAGE is a name for Metalocalypse, not Project Runway.

I wasn't all that impressed with the top three this week. The layering on Gunnar's twin's stuff was very impressive but I didn't love the looks. Veg's couture floral detail was similarly impressive, but the fuchsia was too monotone. Overall, a lot of mediocre looks.

I liked both looks by the Japanese dude but I don't think you can win on PR with that style. You have to know your judges. He can last a few weeks while the complete losers get weeded out.

It must've been very difficult to decide which of the bottom two to keep.

fizzgig

confounding why his legs are so defined

There's a bit of the Rev in that forgotten contestant Lee linked to.

Enjoyable enough episode but ugh, how did Lantie even get on the show?

Might have to be Pat Field for Halloween imo

how did Lantie even get past the initial selection process with her 'reworked vintage dress' steez? I mean...

sorry for hueg pics; gunnar and christopher interacting made me think of an alternative dark crystal in which joshua mckinley, in his arrogance and delusion, shattered the crystal and thus split into oppositional but complementary good and evil aspects.

Is the Severus Snape/Bulgarian d00d similarity so obvious that it's not worth mentioning?

Veg's couture floral detail

lol ilxors be famous.

:D

i do amazing things with squash

rip lantie, u were horrible

ven is like 89% to win this already

he seems...almost overqualified compared to these rubes
death rage needs to STFU yesterday

oh my Lantie

so this is what Tim Gunn does these days

Tim Gunn is basically how I imagine all of Jon Armstrong's male characters look/sound

Hahah some real shambles in this one. Elena has a dynamite shape but so many lolz seeing everything peeling off her model and then the one shot where all the pieces of licorice are on the ground around her. (I kept waiting for the judges to destroy her on that, but Death Rage's piece was falling apart too.)

<3 Buffi. (Don't hate me.)

Also, Nina's "concerns" about Kooan were crypto-racist, y/n?

That episode was pretty wild. Adios to Andrea, Kooan, and Buffi...

Kiiinda sad to see Kooan go, but you could tell he wasn't feeling it.

Buffi and Andrea, meh I can live without. Can Gunnar and Raoul please go GO GO

Lol why do I always pick the psychos or the clearly out of their depths designers as my favorites every season?

BTW, Fabio's outfit two episodes ago looks like it came from Austin's "Hasidic Williamsburg vampire" collection.

Even kinda this week's one, with those awwwwwwwwwwwful points on that weird waistcoat jacket whatever thing

How rad was Dmitri's one-seam dress. I feel bummed that there were 2 similar dresses to kind of pull focus from him. I hope he gets some more spotlight soon.

I did NOT like Elena's giant David Byrne jacket thing

i think ven is one way monkey. oh no, he is eh one trick pony.

omg Dmitri's dress was soooooo niiiiiiiiiiiice

bitch shoulda won

yea im feelin dmitri also

didnt really get that blue big collared thing as office wear @ all

me either! when it first came out i liked it but ... can u imagine like ur editor wearing that at your morning meeting? no u cannot, is what i'm guessing

maybe if it was ugly jacket day? lol idk

dmitri's dress was awesome again, I think he's my favorite.

raoul's ruffle flaps were so bad. they looked like giant gills!

Eddie Munster more like a zombie than a werewolf, imo.

Veg is Rami'ing it up like crazy now, but I do like how 100% affectless he is, even when he's big upping himself he's speaking in the same monotone he always uses.

Gunnar such a passive-aggressive 'bag! Made for reality tv. ♥

Wau @ Elena, she is awful.

Elena's hidden talent seems to be in assigning nicknames "Chiffonzies" lol

Gunnar is like a reality tv android.
I can totally picture him being in stasis in a pool of silicon goop. A roomful of tvs playing Big Brother, Survivor, PR and Celebrity Apprentice has been feeding data into the pool for years. Then one day, the day of his awakening, slowly he sits up, his eyes open and he utters his first words:
"I'm just here to WIN."

OMG VEG, KISSING YOU.

My hon and I thought the same thing re: Dmitri should have won and the blue dress was nice and all but NOT officewear. Also good lord Elena is such an angry individual!! What do you think it's like to be her coworker?

Like being in the biploar military?

also can I just say what we've all been thinking and

<3

Rev can get more personality across on twitter than this dude can on TV, though.

wait ffm beat me to it 3 wks ago

I feel like they're just not giving him any airtime though! LIke he seems totally adorable and awes but I guess theres so much LOLDRAMA going on that they're just ignoring him?

yeah, he's far too quiet & normal for them to have any screen time for him. I keep forgetting his name.

just watched all of these

christopher is so emotional, and cute, aww sad little bunny

ven is obviously very technically skilled but it's only a matter of time before his signature sculptural draping becomes a liability in judging

"yes i am very excited to win this challenge" haha sure you are ven

i liked buffi but she didn't have the skills to be there

really would have liked to see more from kooan but oh well

I enjoy that Ven Budhu's name is so close to Zen Buddhist, because dude is a robot.

sewbot?

raul was the worst, gtfo u greasy little personality disorder

fabio is way cute imho

omg I love fabio.

the Fabio was serving some piping hot Holy Mountain realness this past ep.

Ven is great but pretty detached and mean! Also like OOOH AHH FLOWER SHAPED STRUCTURAL PLEATS!! Cool what else u got bro?? Judges are so gonna come down on this at some pt (at least they would have in the Bravo era)

Ven's shit is so monochrome

Can't believe I forgot to mention Heidi's o_O dress at the start of the episode.

refresh my memory?

oh yeahhhh

Omg I LOVED that dress

revised:

ven is like 89% 3% to win this already

nathans girl looked 1000000000x better in her before photo/street clothes

oh my god, ven was such an asshole!!

ven is so on my shitlist. asshole! and Gunnar turned into a sweetheart. opposite day wtf

I am mad crushing on Fabio, and I loved that tomboy dress so much....but Dmitry killed it with that blue dress imo. She had so much confidence, that dress was so her jam.

and I dunno wtf sonjia was thinking cutting that dress so short. jeez lady

ragh ven I just cant get over him

fucker

What a stupid fucking edit!!! ONE OR MORE OF YOU WILL BE OUT!!! BUT NOT RLY BCZ WE JUST WANTED TO SCARE YOU, RAAWWRR!! Like DUH they're not going to send someone w/ two wins home over one flub but of course they wanted the viewer to feel that he'd been, you know, punished for his assolery (so of course they do it in the SAFEST way possible). Gimme one fucking break.

So fucking puny. Have they ever pulled the whole "One OR MORE" thing and actually sent two ppl home without some major, major disaster (design disaster of course bcz character disaster will never be a punishable offense and it's idiotic for them to all of a sudden start pretending it is, fuck you Lifetime)

yeah that was super lame

I'm side-stepping most of these comments since I've only seen the first two episodes - knew the season was coming but got caught up in th Olympics.

This is probably my last season watching PR. The magic is gone or something, I just don't care as much, it feels like I'm watching the same season for the fourth time in a row somehow.

you say that now....

Ha

Does it get better

yep

at least for me it's once I get a sense of the personalities then I'm pretty much in for the haul

it always takes a few episodes

Ok this is getting rad

Lol at two people - one of whom was insane and therefore interesting - quitting in the third episode or whatever

Michael Kors: "Hey guys."

Gives me the creeps every time

I think they DIDsend two people home once or twice but I couldn't tell you what seasons

What a fashion Aspie! No wonder he has no affect, ever, he's an android waiting for Dr. Soong to install an empathy chip.

But even more bothersome is how, in order for us to get a sense of the scrotum's douchiness, his client had to be humiliated -- again -- but this time before a national audience. Stevie otm, too, though I got snookered into thinking they'd send him home.

lol yall couldn't handle my TRUTHBOMB.

Can't believe that both Elena (whom I thought would've been eliminated four challenges ago) and Alicia (ditto) are still in the competition. Doubly astonished that Elena's look was in the top this episode -- so bulky and fug!

yea i did not at all expect them 2 like elenas

I actually kind of dig Elena's stuff...

I didn't like Alicia's...it was almost vulgar how tight it was! And I hated that neck. And yeah Elenas was strange to me, it looked like it was made from trash bags.

I was annoyed that Dmitri's was safe. I hope he gets more love soon.

I'm more wondering wtf is up with Elenas random moments of drag, with the crazy fase eyelashes & hot pink lipstick. V weird, lol

I do kind of like her as a designer.

Am amused that Gunnar's morphing into nice sweet Gunnar now. He must be reading the ratings or something, decided the bitchy persona wasnt getting enough play

Veg I want to adopt you. (Or you can adopt me, it's all good.)

Lol

Mutual adoption :D

I think that's called marriage

I too was thinkin abt how Gunnar's transformed into something much more tolerable; it is surely for the best. Did anyone else see the whole everyones-safe thing coming? I think I sort of figured out what was going on like 5 minutes before it happened

Yeah I figured if dread-girl was staying there was no way Gunnar was going.

"Producers, you have 11 episodes remaining with only 9 contestants. MAKE IT WORK."

Hahaah

That whole 'raising money for fabric' was kind of a shitty challenge, and it didn't even really figure that much into the final judging? Though I was kind of O_O at how much money they raised -- given they didn't seem to have much stuff to sell and they weren't charging THAT much for the shirts.

I wanted to feel bad for Alicia but I don't -- I never felt like she really had her heart in it, it was like she just kind of 'whatevered' her way through all the time.

Elena's jacket looked like it was made from polarfleece...it sat so horribly! And she had to have seen that from the first model fitting, surely.

Fabio's team's collection was yuk, like if Dress Barn did a Grapes of Wrath collection. And fuck Ven. Even if he had made that skirt, it wouldn't have done that much for the collection. It would have been a well-made skirt and he would have still been safe and the collection would still have been pretty sad.

Gunnar's dresses were nice but as the contestants thin down he is going to be fresh meat for the judges. His finishing is really pretty sloppy from what I could see of those dresses.

dmitri & elena are such a bickering euro trash couple cliche

lol @ kors oh ok U HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION

good editing lifetime

endless lols in prev of nxt wk - it looks like an omage to a menstrual cycle!

it looks like pacman is about to eat her crotch!

cannot wait

Alicia was fun because she was always the same level headed person even when talking about how stressed she was. Loose shoulders, kind eyes. Boring designer though.

Kors was so angry when Elena argued his queen of sewing remark!he will exaggerate if he feels like it, angry girl.

I am back to loving Elena, but this time, ironically. Hearing her poop on everything is one of life's finest pleasures.

I wished that Miss Anthony could've gotten the selling challenge! He'd have been rolling into the workroom with $5,000 and two naked boys on his arms.

LOL otm

I am soooo disappointed that Elena didn't erupt when Alicia suggested they work with navy.

"the background color is black because im black"

I thought Gunnar's was better than Christopher's, and that Ven's was easily the worst.

yeah idg why they keep Ven around, is it just cuz he can sew?

was honestly hoping for Gunnar to go on a kill-crazy rampage but alas

gunnars print was 'put a bird on it' & his outfit was still so much better than vens

Gunnar's was kind of childish - one of the judges said the overall look was very junior, which seemed otm to me.
The problem I had with Christopher's, over just ugh that dress, was he didn't GIVE a shit. Gunnar at least cared, he just didn't have the skills to communicate what he wanted to say well enough. Christopher has the skills he just kind of threw something together hoping he'd land in the middle.
Ven, yeah I dunno. He's technically lightyears ahead of Gunnar, he just doesn't have any ideas. Or something. I dunno.
I felt kinda bad for him because he did at least finally find his 'caring' mode to be really into his print and want to say something...I still mostly can't stand him but I had a tiny bit of sympathy this time.

So glad Dmitry won. That jacket was off the chain.

I just want to say how much I know about the Ever Style Smoothing System and Volume Products now.

lol I know right?

Finished watching!

Tim was on fire this episode, like he stole Kors's zing mojo.

Actually sad to see Gunnar go! :( But when he said that if he had won the competition and that in addition to his new shoes he'd buy his mom implants, I expected his print to be a bunch of boobs.

Elena is hot in an evil way, but her mom? HOMG. SILVER FOX.

Aw, poor Gunnar. It's amazing how much he transformed from BEYOND INSUFFERABLE to actually a total sweetheart who was like just a little bit bitchy at times. Also FINALLY they call Ven out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk8mm1Qmt-Y

I adored this episode! Such a fab challenge

Christopher's dress was gorgeous. My big gripe was the lack of movement and that from far away it might read more white than silver? idk. It was a great concept though and that silver material he picked was delish

I personally loved Dmitri's dress. I agree with Deb Messing that it was maybe slightly on the risque side as far as kids in the audience but god the beadwork and the finishing and the color were all A+
I knew he would kick ass on this challenge.

Much as I dislike Ven, I felt a little bad for him getting the arse when Sonjia's dress was just a fucking tragedy of glued feathers and NO FUCKING MOVEMENT AT ALL.

and I kind of hated Melissa's dress. The back was cute but the front was awful, that neckline was terrible for a Rockette. And if she hadn't cutified it with the styling ie that hat they would have put her in the bottom over Ven, imo

but Ven was booooooooooring so I do get it

Don't bore Nina.

oh and Elena

oh Elena. Def Las Vegas high- 100% a sequined version of Tony Basil's cheerleading outfit

sonja/elena/ven = all def auf worthy

yea melissa was awful also. just cuz you recognize that radio city is art deco, incorporating it into the challenge as a style WHERE IT HAS NO PLACE & badly is almost worse imo

actually fabios looked absurd also but i havent liked anything hes done all season

kindof miss gunnar

oh yeah fabio's was pretty bad - she looked kinda like a gladiator? v unsexy

gunnar woulda been top three on this one

"thank you Debra Messing"

^^^^ too cuet!

oh yeah fabio's was pretty bad - she looked kinda like a gladiator? v unsexy

Exact same thought, mutual adoptee!

When Christopher talked about creating the skyline for the top, I thought it was going to look 9/11 tragic (too soon?), but he was lucky that his model was so flat-chested (the Rockettes I imagine aren't going to be busty either) or else it was going to look so garishly, cheap, and costumey.

I got a HUEG kick out of Sonjia's because the skirt looked EXACTLY like her haircut. (Also, her boy is something hott.)

Who was it that said that Dmitry's was high-school jazz team? (Ven?) Because, yeah, it was! Still, it looked clean, chic, sophisticated, and polished.

Jaw actually dropped when Elena was in. She's a cat, for real, because there have been about 8 other challenges where she could've been auf'ed.

But I am glad she was able to reach the challenge designing for babbies, I am sure she will eat many of them.

omg @ this baby ep

Elena got the best Tim sendoff.

Also: http://academicninagarcia.tumblr.com/

O_O

gifs and mondo designs are the only 2 current art forms that will last the test of time

"Her name is asshole... here she is!"

I was kind of annoyed that they'd pull a challenge like that this far into the season. 6 designers left and they're making BABY clothes?

I mean, it was okay and some of the designs were cool but every 5 or 10 minutes I was just OKAY WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE PEOPLE

fking Heidi and her stupid ideas, I hate it when she has that stupid grin on her face like oh it's going to be so much fun to torture everyone with screaming robot babies and it will help them design baby clothes. she should be a producer on Wipeout, ffs.

totally scrumptious! eek.

barf

I'm surprised the line isn't just super-short sequined tube dresses, tbh lol

chocolate ganache: totally scrumptious

babbies: not totally scrumptious

it's how heidi maintains her youthful visage

SHE EATS BABBIES

should've called her line SEAL BABBIES

DELICIOUS BABBIES

one of the main reasons this show still exists is to provide cross-promo for nina's magazine & heidi's lines with retailers. so it's not surprising. but ugh, babies.

that said i would totally wear sonjia's tailored sweatsuit, does it come in a 46L?

MOAR ALL STARS: http://www.eonline.com/news/349652/project-runway-all-stars-second-season-cast-revealed-plus-katie-holmes-set-to-judge?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories

Ivy, omg. <3

oh christ, Wendy fucking Pepper

Agreed there.

Also, cue What Happened to Andrae joeks.

kayne & suede = gtfo

aren't they the same person?

hah i still say 'what happened 2 aaaaandre?'

do we really need to see Casanova or fucking Peach again ever?

excited for some Andrae, and I do have a wee crush on Anthony of the Cancer Anthonys

but half of these are like WHO CARES

that title says all-STARS, bitches

I LIKED SUEDE, LEAVE HIM ALONE.

do we really need to see Casanova or fucking Peach again ever?

:o

Oh, didn't see the "or" there.

Hahaha

I love most of these demon spawn!

Kayne needs to change whatever his last name is to West.

Omg Anthony Ryan is like my #2 all time PR crush (behind bitchy Keith with the rat tail)

Anthony has that awesome southern drawl

I can't believe I have no recollection of Althea, like, she's rilly hott.

Anyway, are the producers one-way-monkeying around with the eliminations again to make sure that Melissa will make it to the top 3? Because I HATED that last thing she designed, and the three guys (two whole Chiffonies!) were far, far ahead of what she and Sonjia ;_; put out.

yeah i dont know what the deal is with the judges and melissa.. i mean they keep giving dmitry shit for being a one-trick pony while personally i think that honor goes to melissa "i'm thinking a dramatic collar" fleis

I thought her leather work was p bad in this one. It looked puffy & just..bad

Otm, it wasn't scifi, it was low budget glam rock.

I liked Fabio's concept, but his model ended up looking like she was wearing a beanbag

Melissa had better go next week. Her time-management drives me iiiiiiiinsane. She has some okay concepts but yeah I really do not get why they're acting like she's so much better than she is. Next to Christopher and Dmitri she's really bad.

Though the next time Chrisopher wins a challenge does that hands over his face Miss Universe 'OMG ME? OMG YOU GUYS" thing I want to superglue his hands so they'll STAY LIKE THAT FOREVER

and I liked Sonija personality wise but I wasn't really sad to see her go.

someone needs to teach that girl how to sketch.

Remember when we all made fun of Angela Fleurchon for not sketching? Now that's a Thing.

in my project runway ppl would be aufed for not sketching, for still sewing when their time is up, and for losing bags of material

WELCOME TO FASCIST RUNWAY

also maybe crying

Nooooooooo they neeeeeeeeed to cryyyy. TT_TT

lol

rly hope we're not in for another Anyaing, much as Melissa seems like a nice person.

Fabio should've named his '90s rave, hippy scifi nostalgia collection PLUR.

i think(hope) its btwn dmitri & christopher

jc otm - dmitri and christopher seem to have the best collections.

melissa getting this far is p shocking to me. and none of the judges are ever really THAT in love with her stuff. SHENANIGANS.

Oh Fabio and his Cosmic Tribalism = bwaahahahaa. "We are from planet trance and we have come to align your chakras", lol. I liked the dyes but god his whole collection looks like it's made of home-dyed bedsheets. You can tell he's just dying to do an entire collection made completely from assorted sarongs.

fabios shit will work nicely for the space opera im writing abt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aum_Shinrikyo

omg

btw have you guys seen Elena's decoy collection? Tom and Lorenzo love it. http://www.tomandlorenzo.com/2012/10/pr-elena-slivnyak-decoy-collection.html

Pretty one-note but omg whoa what a note

yeah good on her

was feeling christophers the most but am ok w/ dimitri, if ur taking all season into acct too he prob deserves it

dont like melissas - all diagonal cut tops, texture, & big collars, get real

"cosmic tribalism"

oh & do young/trendy girls really put tin foil in their hair this isnt a real thing just some runway shit right

I liked the textiles of Christopher's collection, but some of it felt kinda slapped together and it had nothing like the polish of the other 3. It made him look kinda immature next to them, I thought. and the slit on that first skirt was kinda trashy
he really kinda flamed out for me with these last 2 episodes, I felt like he was relying on how much the judges had loved him in the past to get him through, rather than showing the kind of commmitment of fabio or melissa or dmitry to just power through and get shit done

so glad dmitry won. I felt like Fabio's final collection was really impressive, and wouldn't have been upset if it had won but I'm really happy dmitry won because FINALLY SOME AMAZING GODDAMN TAILORING WINS THE DAY

melissa's was boring. well made, but big collars black white black black black white red yawn zzz

felt like the main thing fabio was missing was more of a wow finish with his last piece. I wish he'd used that concept for something fancier to really show some skillz but since he's so drapey and not really much about structure maybe that's not quite in him yet

loooooool at Christopher's bitchy 'quit calling it blood orange, it's RED"

i was worried about the silver ombre dyeing when I saw it, I was like oh fuck it looks like birdshit he's going down I just know it

but the placement kinda made it seem like the light was hitting their ponytails just so...like it was where the shine of the hair would be picked up so it wsa kinda interesting

not great,I didn't love it and it sort of ended up being a non thing, so why take the time - but at least it didn't get him in trouble

omg u guys Allstars next week

ANDRAE DO YOU WANT TO GO TO RED LOBSTER WITH ME

I can't wait to see andrae...not looking forward to wendy pepper

I wasn't that jazzed about any of the collections but I thought Fabio maybe should've won.

fabio's was the only collection i even found compelling, clear winner imho

christopher, ugh whatEVER

So who won this thing

I stopped watching after episode six or so

dmitri won

i realizedin the last episode that I had kind of a crush on dmitry

he's so almost-goth

lol'd @ kors emphasizing 2 him that hes a good designer & a real gentleman or w/e

WELL HE IS

I will give this to Fabio: his show had the best music.

Melissa's red blood orange dress was just a mashup of two of her pieces from earlier in the season, no?

Also, lol @ Chris's first look getting blurred on tv:
http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-10/rate-the-runway/episode-14#id=1

So many shots of former contestants during the fashion show, which is to me a hallmark of an insular, self-worshipping reality program, in possible decline, unmoored from the industry it pretends to still represent and more interested in celebrating the weird little world it's created for itself. That said, yay All-Stars 2!

you can't deny that dmitry's collection was pretty salable & editorial but it just comes off old, like there's this undeniably soviet hardness to his designs, but the styling made it seem so old, not elderly but def outdated

i guess i'm just curious why they went with that, as opposed to fabio, whose collection was perfectly attuned to the future fashion impulses of tumblr teens who have pastel hair and are obsessed with triangles

judges are not chillwavers

imma start an allstars 2 thread because I have a feeling this ones' gonna get rilly rill

"Andrae! You really embarrassed me tonight at Red Lobster!" - Project Runway All Stars Season 2, the 2 stands for 200% more cray-cray

I just finished this, what a let down.

I wish Jennifer Hudson would say "It's rich, honey, it is" to me more often.

the post-kors era begins tonight

woo!

dropped a mikey & im sweatin (woo)

Are they going to do another all stars after this season so we can have 52 consecutive weeks of chiffonsies?

wait this is the team season that starts now right?

havent watched yet but yes i heard its teams, ugh

woooow Emily stank!! I dunno if I've ever seen anything that unfinished and LOL. That was a girl who is not ready for primetime.

Cindy's dress was fuuuugly. That neckline was gross. Guh.

Zac Posen judging made me lol, he looked genuinely terrified by some of the looks coming down the runway

<3 Christian forevvvvver
I missed him so much!

Am down with Mustache Daniel - suit was beautiful. Patricia, Native American lady was p rad too, love the print

I kinda like these peeps overall

the guy from providence is so chillwave i cant believe it

not sure how i feel about post kors. <3 kors.
actually kind of enjoyed all stars this time though.

"im like a scary, possessed chihuahua, yaknow"

i only peripherally know joe from prov as a f.o.a.f. but he is quite chill and oh man i really hope he gets to do some crazy kitty dress this season

Imagine Zingmonster Kors got a case of fabric diarrhea and the resulting pile was Emily's "piece."

Posen's eyebrows

the way his whole face moves when he clenches his jaw

omg this ping pong ep

are we supposed to believe that suzy sarandon has never heard of a skort before

Not really impressed with any of these clowns so far.

i am rooting for joe segal, of course. kitty sweaters, straight out of pvd.

i hope benjamin goes home soon, he's already working my last nerve.
and whoever that girl is that keeps making hunter-green/grey Skyrim costumes needs to lay off

BALLS ARE MY BUSINESS

We know honey, we know.

Of course the designer who was stoked for the hipster club was Portlandia.

haha

Evil Joanna Newsom

that Allison Janney girl at least seems chill enough to make it through a few more episodes.
cannot stand that Joanna Newsom girl. at all.

I understand iridescent shantung going home. That dress was McCall's Tragic Pattern 101. My 7th grade textiles teacher would have advised her against that and she wore appliqued sweaters.
But that terrible wrapped up dress of whatsisname, the crying Sydneysider. fucking awful. oh that poor model's boobs. like, they literally looked like the universal sadface emoticon u_u

or maybe more like

u=u

RIP Joe

He was awesome, I wish they hadn't sent him home. And I kinda liked his weird sweater!

the judges critiques made NO sense and were obviously just invented as a way to justify his dismissal -- he was the token avant garde designer and the producers obviously intended him to be cannon fodder from the start. he should have piped up and taken credit for fixing amanda's dress! it makes me sad because he is obv super talented and shouldn't have been sent home imho, but its great that he got such wide exposure for his existing businesses. bye joe ;_;

Yeah wtf. Joe's piece wasn't that out there at all, not when compared to, say, Patricia's, which was my pick to go home, or Evil Joanna Newsom's "cupcake." And everyone piling on Allison Janney was nagl, esp. since hers ended up cuter than a lot of theirs (and definitely repped her decade more solidly than about half of them).

Anyway:

Layana really bugging me. I thought she said she was from Brazil, but she speaks like she's from Canada.

Gods that Autotune Yoplait commercial is the worst, I hope all of them got salmonella from it, especially that insipid beardo.

Layana *is* irritating. And lol @ evil Joanna newsom's "hitchcock leading lady" description of her dress & Heidi's WTF look in response.

"Alfred Hitchcock Presents Gone With The Wind"

samanthas was dope

rip cat sweater joe

who is samantha again?

she won

oh yeah that whole encased leaf thing she did was inspired

this wks was kindof boring but next week w/ old ladies looks inspired

I loved this challenge. Miranda is awesome! I am a huge fan of her already.

Amanda & Ben rawwwwked it. Her fringe dress was awesome & Ben's was beautuful. But Richard's performance dress was maybe better. Stanley's wasn't right.

make. michelle. stop. talking.
ugh! her linguine necklace & denim skirt was horrrrrrrid. matthew's moment with miranda was <3 tho.

daniel's top reminded me of the foil dome that was in the ceiling of the lobby of our movie theater. BAD. and fringing that fabric! it looked like a woven picnic tablecloth! just fucking stupid.

that red leather dress was awful though, i dont care if the girl was safe her days are numbered.

oh shit JOAN RIVERS oh hell yes

Yes, Miranda was so awesome.

I actually didn't think anybody's pieces were terrible! And you have to admit that Portlandia's Nina impression was great, in fact, the best thing she's done on the show.

Samantha is so much finer now that she's taken out her barbells.

Also, Stanley looks like Black Kramer.

lol black kramer

hahaha

lol joan rivers bodied tu

also lol @ that old lady telling kate to be a slut

kinda surprised it took them so long to get joan on the show tbh

she shd be a permanent judge imo, she would fill the kors void

now that I've started watching Rupaul's Drag Race I *demand* a crossover episode. This needs to happen.

We sort of already did, no?

Yeah but that was aaages ago

Okay now that I've watched: can Michelle please go away. Her and Layana act all OMG I HAD NO IDEA IT WORKED THIS WAY you two are the woooorst teammembers ever next to fake Joanna Newsome, THAT's why this happened.

I expected the girl to be sent home because that dress looked like a Lane Bryant nighmare but imho Ben going home wasn't THAT shocking. His dress was just as terrible for different reasons. Those sleeves ugh.

Oh I had a zing, ready, but I forgot it.

Anyway, lol @ Layana burning on Jo Newsom for having dated taste which would be perfect for old lady challenge.

OH WAIT I REMEMBER: I bet Amanda wished Joe was still around to fix her mistakes again!

that was hilarious

Stanley getting goosed was p lol

Ben's client is such a ball of awesome! (And Kate's, and Samantha's, and and and I just want to bring all of them home.)

yeah they were fab ladies. Stanley's was like Eartha Kitt foxy, wow

Totes! I reckon she used to be a model (and she could still w3rk).

haaaaa

wait, is he trying to make it look like he's made a mustache out of his nose hair

Veg, how are you watching RPDR? ( Though I'm not even sure I have the time to watch another show.)

How? They are streaming this season's episodes on the Logo website. And the new episodes air on Monday so there's not too much conflict with my already bloated DVR :)

and you HAAAAVE to watch. It's like everything I've wanted PR to be

protip: make sure you watch the Untucked episodes

Normally those behind the scenes shows are garbage but this is amazing
ie there have been FIGHTS in prev seasons :D

OMG @ the shade Nina's throwing at Zac!!!!

so awesome

AH HA HA HA HA HA wow the way Heidi revealed the double elimination was COLD and GANGSTER.

so glad

kate & tu = pr's worst codependent design team

Always love it when they get rid of dead weight like that.

Lanaya so spoiled.

Layana, w/e.

she's terrible. like a precocious teenager and 10 times more annoying

i hated michelle & amanda's dress. i liked patricia & whatsername's dress way more

I DON'T LIKE PEEEEEEENK. ~*_pouts_*~

Amanda still chill and wkiw.

xpost waht, sure it's definitely not punk (more like New Wave or post-punk) and the stupid flap on the top, but it's graphic and light at the same time. Samantha and Patricia inexplicably lucked out, kids probably voted their dress because they recognized their model as Lisa Jackson from ANTM9.

Amanda is p cool

Michelle is terrible

Agreed on both but I find Michelle entertaining, maybe it's those circle tats.

Everything she makes look like a skyrim costume. Tell me I'm wrong

Skyrim would be a step up! To me, her clothes look drab.

Yeah. Boring is right.

She shits on Patricia but she doesn't have half her creativity or risk taking. I mean, I don't love Patricia's inability to embrace teamwork but 9 times out of 10 her innovation at least elevates a look.

That dress is "punk" if you think Hot Topic is punk.

Which a lot of people do!

The enlarged hounds tooth looked weird... reminded me more of cow hide...it read kinda cowgirl to me? Like Jessie from Toy Story.
But I reallllly can't stand Michelle so that may be my bias giving me hate-blindness :)

Ahahah oh god this challenge

(Sidenote: we need to talk about Patricia's I'm-tripping-balls-stare. It's been CRACKING me up this whole season)

Thundah From Dahn Undah was hilarious. If their one gift to us was Nina Garcia losing her shit, then I say SO WORTH IT

I was kinda hoping they'd boot Layana out for that 'jacket'. She has to be going soon, surely. I'm honestly still skeptical that her sewing is up to anyone else's level. She gets SO much help with all her stuff.And whine! Guh.

Daniel's smock/coat thing made that dude look like he was a kid standing on another kid's shoulders.

I wish they could have a do-over, where this was their practice run and now that they understand OHHH we're supposed to design STRIPPER clothes not HOT ACCOUNTANT clothes, but oh well.

also I felt so bad for those guys, but it was cool that they were such good sports and kinda stuck up for their designers a little bit

"[we're] kinda like designing for a version of australian george clooney that takes his clothes off"

i loved how giggly all the judges were

shouldve just made womens wear for these dudes 2 wear

emily rossum v into 50 Shades apparently

who tf is gonna win out of these designers ?
can only see like samantha or stanley tbh
patricia winning would be hilar

samantha or stanley yep

anyone else and I declare shenanigans

They could just crown Anya again right at the last moment.

i'm sure they will find a way

Episode was sooo lulzy.

When Tim said to Heidi that she couldn't go with the designers to their mystery location because she lacked the self-discipline, I was like, "Why? Are you afraid she'll get pregnant again?" Cut to: Thunder From Down Under.

Amanda's face when watching their first performance.

Team "Hip" (-_-) and "Slick" (-_-).

That... tie (ascot?)... Daniel wore to the runway show. (On top of the CAPE he wore in the previous runway.)

I felt bad for all the fellas, especially for the one guy who couldn't even get his shirt off and the rest of his group who just kind of sadly slinked off stage after trying for much too long to tear off their clothes.

oh god the failed rip/reveal was HILARIOUS and so sad

Yeah it was like on those medical dramas where someone has flatlined and the doctorb is doing chest compressions FOREVER, "NOOoOOO you're NOT DYING ON ME" except instead of "dying," the TFDU guy is saying "staying."

Though I was thinking later, it's hard enough to sew clothes that fit, let alone clothes that are designed to rip off in one go.

I wonder how many asses Patricia grabbed while she had the chance - she was REALLLLY into it lol

Michelle, too!

Oh, so many lols when Michelle was all "Bike messengers are SEXXXY!" OK Portlandia.

lolol I was thinking the same thing

and she got actual KISSES :D

Go gurl!

she is married, tho
don't go gurl

How often do you get to kiss an Avenger, though?

When someone calls someone else's designs "dated," you could just call them "retro," yes?

omg @ Swatch plopping down. ~* swOOOn *~

WAU @ Patricia's look of death towards Stanley.

Oh god Daniel and his dress straight from the set of Dallas having a meltdown.

Oh gods Samantha did you know you just created a look for an anime/video game cosplay?

Stanley getting into a Twitter beef with TLo (o_O): https://twitter.com/tomandlorenzo/status/317451584042831873

when is Layana going to get kicked off? ugh

richard got a weird edit in like convos & reaction shots but hes also just a weird dude & spent 6 hrs making a bracelet so peace out

yep

I'll be honest, I loved Layana this episode because I am a schadenfreude connoisseur and thus delight in her spoiled, entitled crapulence. And Daniel seems to have followed his depressive last week with mania this week (all that talking over the judges during the critiques).

i love daniel in spite of myself
it might just be south texas chauvinism, or his mustache curl, or his zest for life

Or his bipolar!

Daniel's turning into batshit Joan Crawford with every passing episode. Dude is gonna SNAP, I just know it.

Lol at Richard serving Buzz Bissinger/amateur Vegas magician with his outfit for judging. No wonder you went home, child

I thought his outfit was pretty rad!!

O_o

Don't auf me.

you're lucky I like you ;)

My husband wished for a world in which he could get away with a shirt like that. I liked it well enough, but he loved it!

Dawwww! ^_^

lol @ the other designers reaction 2 patricia making it

they shouldve kicked off both patricia + michelle, btw

i havent watched this ep yet but can i just say that heidi's leather dress in the last episode made my swimsuit area feel funny O_O

layana is sooooooo 2faced
like high school level
"omg what is she weari--" (turns) "OH HIIIIII OMG LOOK AT YOU, YOU LOOK SO AMAAAAZING"

roxymuzak just blew my mind on FB

Zac Posen = Joaquin Phoenix + Buster Keaton

but back to the episode

Patricia's conceptual-ness is going to trip her up sooner or later. Richard hampered her, for sure -- but part of that is because so much of her design was still in her head, she had no gameplan and Richard couldn't follow her if she didn't know where she was going. Teaching him how to sew was kinda wtf though. I just don't know that she has enough, idk, mechanics? to pull all those ideas out of her head in the time she's given. 90% of her process seems to be just giving birth to the idea as she's putting her hands on the material. She's not my favorite but she really interests me. Part of me hopes she gets into the top 3.

Love Stanley. And idk, honestly I could give a shit about 'oh he's mean to Tu'. Stanley's the most direct of all the contestants, and the fact that he wouldn't let Tu pissfart around in his normal flailing-arms sandbox was kind of awesome. Everyone else who worked with Tu placated him that he was great, and he was like a fucking lead weight.

And I loved the whole 'Michelle CONTRAVENED THE LAWS OF NINA THEREFORE SHE MUST BE BANISHED' ... and coming into that challenge thinking 'oh this is what I would wear so therefore it will be great'...um. No.

maybe I'm weird, but I keep seeing Zac Posen = Joaquin Phoenix + Buster Keaton + David Lee Roth

so what you're saying is you've seen posen in assless chaps

idk I've turned around on Michelle (I'm not even calling her Portlandia anymore), I guess I should shop at Urban Outfitters more? Patricia has also grown on me, especially because hers was the only avant garde look last week, and though I really disliked the middle skirty bit, the rest was quite strong, imo.

Was praying that Layana would get Richard, for the lulz. The shade she was throwing at the looks during the runway show were also solid gold gif-worthy materials.

otm

i get posen = brando + jon lovitz

michelle i think is a catherine o'hara character in a christopher guest flick; she does the wide-eyed nonplussed look exactly the same way. i might have to start the season over again with that in mind.

I am really curious to see what Patricia could do with a month to put together a collection. She seems the most hampered by the quick turnaround this show requires.

I thought Leyana's top was a cool idea but actually looked pretty sloppy?

yeah I thought it looked like a bad craft project

I was blown away that Daniel's Barbarella tweety bird outfit wasn't bottom two

omg that was so weird. playboy bunny easter

Yeah a lot of times I wonder if being a str8 d00d is a disadvantage when my opinion differs so much from the judges, turns out it's just because I have eyes.

hahah

jfc they made this shit 2 hrs

this stalkers movie w/ mena suvari & adriana from sopranos looks p good huh

michelle is a weirdo abt not being touched/hugged when shes stressed. i did NOT like her white jacket

lol patricia is so winning this fuck this show

i get posen = brando + jon lovitz

^this is 1000% otm btw

did anyone else catch Patricia's "I'm not gonna give you a native woman on a buffalo blanket with her wind blowing in the hair"?

I am co-opting "her wind blowing in the hair"

also keep an eye out for daniel in the previews for next week, i lold

Save for the stuff about fashion not being art, Nina incredibly off the mark with Patricia, Posen on the mark. Still, I'm not getting Anya 2.0 vibes from tbh. The show seems much more interested in building up Michelle as the winner.

Before Tim Gunn sends Layana home, he tries to lighten the mood by giving his best impression of the Fonz.

Heidi's little spiel after aufing Layana: "I'm sure we'll see more from you soon... as in next season when do All-Stars again."

LOL @ all these chumps acting like they're harbingers of new hott artistic trends by taking inspiration from urban architecture.

"I really liked my jacket" will be carved on layana's tombstone

YOUR JACKET LOOKED LIKE IT CAME FROM DRESS BARN'S GOTH COLLECTION

barcelona and NO fucking Gaudi wtf layana

lol at Daniel's when I think of "berlin i think of the wall" yes you are not profound

Hey, they're giving the designers real time to design their collections this time! 4+ months!

its really too bad theres no nyc single male hipster designer this sesaon so the alltime record for t gunn fam visit contrast could occur btwn that and patricias n mexico compound

Michelle's was my favorite, and was in fact my favorite stuff of hers that she's designed this season. (Only really liked the houndstooth duct tape dress, the rest of her work has been blah.)

I like Patricia now, but she should've been automatically DQ'ed for that plaid shirt. Made of leather. (Many many lols at the starry-eyed look on Heidi's face though when the Tina Turner Smurfette look walked by.)

Liked Stanley's mini-collection more than the judges. Thought his earlier Twitter sourness was a result of being eliminated before the final runway. (And when he mentioned his niece, I thought she was going to be a precocious 12-year-old, not, like, you know, a babe.)

ok, patricias horsehair cape Ø\(∞_o)/Ø

michelle made hunger game clothes

loved Michelle's collection, still find her super annoying but girl is briiiiiinging it

Stanley's reminded me of a super rich old lady's mansion, all chintz sofas and satin curtains. I mean, it was beautiful but too mehhhhh for what he's capable of

Loved Patricia's horsehair cape! Am super excited to see her collection. How rad was her home/family/ studio

Daniel is an idiot. You showed the judges ALL black? Seriously?

Did he even say that he had red as well, or did that get edited out, or did he actually take out the color in between Tim's visit and the judging?

i don't know! what happened to the white jacket?

OMG whenever the judges started talking about Patricia, the pointed cuts to a bored Nina flipping through her photobook OMG.

Patricia doing the Twist with her kids == ♥, they are also super-cute.

Wow, Michelle brought the noise. Shortlist of my favorite final collection.

And omg the reunion special looks like SO MUCH DISHY CATTINESS, CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH!!!!!!!!!

i did lol @ patricia saying "u know nina can be a conservative republican, sometimes"

OTM!!!!

And was that Mondo in the crowd wearing who the eff knows what?

i laughed out loud at Mondo

i love how much of a Patricia cheerleader Zac Posen was, seemed v genuine & super into her aesthetic

but yeah, goddamn michelle brought it

Keep forgetting to zing, but this season has so much leather, it makes me sad that Stella from season 5 couldn't be a part of it.

one of my major gripes for this season is that joseph was eliminated so early on, since he definitely was more talented than some of the ppl auf'd after him -- instead we got stuck with seeing richard come back practically every single challenge after his elimination and i just mean ugh @ that dude

but i'm pretty sure joseph made the sweaters in michelle's final collection so good for him and good for her for being so smart

yeah she gave Joe props last episode for the sweaters

Stanley kinda crashed and burned, huh

Reunion episode was sadly zzzzzz.

yeah I dunno if I'll watch it

http://projectrunway.auction.seenon.com/viewcat.php?category=355

lol $500+ for Michelle and Stanley's, respectable $300 for Daniel's, then falling off a cliff with Layana's, and oops there's ANOTHER CLIFF TO FALL OFF OF, PATRICIA.

Like damn, I could've spent < $100 to own a piece of Project Runway history.

I always wonder if the things they send down are remotely wearable beyond like a few hours down a catwalk/for judging
