People who know me know that I defend people, and especially women, who speak their mind even if it is (as it often if not always is) rude of them. So here is my defense of Korina. Char made it into the finals when Tim Gunn used his Save on her. She got a pass …
Well, this episode wasn’t boring. The “bidding” added this new level of competition and while I appreciate them adding stuff to make the 90 minutes worth watching it was more like something I’d watch on Survivor and that was weird? But not boring! And in fact, even the most boring of the clothes is not …
Yawn. This episode was boring and these fashions are boring. SAFE: Sean looking for a model made me cringe. Specifically when one girl turned him down but her friend volunteered and he said “I’m looking for someone tall.” My esteem for him went waaaaaay down with that one comment. “I’m looking for someone {who resembles a …
This post was delayed due to my day job being CRAZY, but here we go. I loved this challenge. I have a nine year old daughter who loves American Girl and fashion so this episode was basically made for us. SAFE: This is fine. It’s certainly cute. But Kit is one of our favourite American Girls so I …
We’ve reached the point in the Project Runway cycle where the quirky people are all but gone, the predominantly safe people are starting to be targeted, and I am losing patience with the judges pets. Which is exactly what happened this week: SAFE: I like Alexander (and I love Alexander’s model) butI haven’t seen anything …
I got my wish! Char gets to show at Fashion Week and Samantha went home! I approve of your save Tim Gunn! Aeris does, too, going so far as to say Char is her favourite and she wants her to win. Cute. I’m going to include some of Aeris’s commentary on the looks, too, starting …
Some people plan their wedding for two years. Bride’s checklists advise finding a dress 10-12 months in advance. But somehow the PR judges/producers/audience are shocked, SHOCKED, when they get poorly constructed boring and referential wedding designs in one day. So shocking! Anyway if I were asked to design an atypical wedding dress I’d look to …
Oh Double Elimination — required if you’re gonna hand out that “Tim Gunn Save” sometime! And I kinda love that they did it on a Dress Heidi episode. I imagine Heidi is not really really the Problem Client she plays on TV (I mean, any more than any celebrity is) but she loooooooves to sharpen her …
Good news! I have learned all the contestants’ names and styles. Even Samantha (yaaaaawwwwwwnnnnn). I enjoy “take one thing and make it another” challenges but the Sandhya factor was the most interesting twist. Her choices were definitely calculated but calculated to help or hinder, I really don’t know. SAFE: I think I like what Char …
In 1994 I was eighteen. I dressed like this: I still do. Seriously, this is super close to what I am wearing for my Friday night out tonight. In another 20 years, I probably still will. So, I’m thinking this challenge is kinda whack. But I have things to say about where the designers went with it! SAFE: …
