"July 17 - Talk to me!" |
I've never watched this before. Was surfing last night ans saw it so thought I'd give it a shot. It had already been on for s bit so I don't know exactly what I missed.I saw from the point they were outside the grocery store - getting instructions on the challenge. (The 'visiting judge' that won 'that' challenge from his season was a trip! wow!) Okay, so some of the ideas were interesting. The plastic cups was ingenious; he should have won the challenge. Tho the vacuum bag skirt was good - especially her using a spiral notebook for the closures (but the coffee filter bust was no so). Too bad so many chose what they thought would be the easy way out by using table cloths. And even then some did a lousy job. The garbage bag lady should have opened a box of the bags to see what she was getting. Apparently she doesn't bug many garbage bags - she should have known the cheapest bags would be the cheapest bags. So, anybody else watch this? Snidget put me on the cover!

1. "RE: July 17 - Talk to me!" |
I was actually waiting for the detailed review that usually comes up here, with pictures, etc. But so far, nothing has happened, so I'm curious about that. Have we given up on this show altogether, or are tptb just busy, and don't have the time to do this? I would volunteer, but I don't know how to post the designs from each week, and I don't have any of the names down, and probably won't until we're down to about 7 contestants!Oh well. Until then, we'll just keep a running tab of our ideas and thoughts about each week-how's that? Keep the others guessing, if they didn't watch it. They can always catch it on the multiple times it comes back throughout the week. OK-garbage bag lady-EEEWWEEE! What was she thinking?? Generic is very rarely the same in this world, I hate to say! Even with medications, you pay for what you get, Sister. And you have hopefully learned a valuable lesson! Tan Man: should have definitely gone home! What will he do when he realizes he can't leave the show for his daily tan, anyway? And I still have the vision of him sewing in that poor model's crotch seared into my mind! One slip, and.......WOW! Send him home already! He is an accident waiting to happen! Rain Coat Man: Scary, but I've seen scarier. Of course, the bragging at the beginning of the show was quite adequately placed, and helped to cheer him off of the runway. I don't think Nina will ever be the same. I hear she's on Valium and shock therapy now. The others had decent to whatever vision, and the only one who actually used produce, did a pretty good job. But there again, she grabbed a table cloth! The unspoken rule! Plastic cup guy seems pretty innovative, and a decent guy. Vacuum cleaner bag lady-very smart, and creative. She's one to watch, I think. Oh, and the guest judge: Austin Scarlett-he's one you just can never forget. Once you know who he is, you'll remember him forever. Quite the trip, isn't he? But since he had won this, the very first competition on HIS watch, he was quite aware of what was good and what was bad. And his opinions were actually pretty spot on. The man has issues-what can we say? But he's lovable, in a strange way. I guess. Anyway, I can't even begin to imagine what this season is going to bring. According to the rundown of all the contestants, most have amazing talents, and are already working in semi-to high-fashion. So...we'll see what they do when they have to tear a car apart, or invent a new bridal dress or prom dress, or skating outfit for Apollo Ono. Just, listen up, Tan Man; DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT TOUCH HIS CROTCH!!!!

Yes, I was waiting for the official thread that is tediously composed....glad you opened it up for discussion anyway.Hmmmm..Love Austin Scarlett! His bridal gowns are stunning. Ask Lauri on Housewives of Orange County. Big props to Ko_ _o (sorry can't remember her name) who used the vegetables as a collar adornment. I was expecting so much more of this kind of creation than we got. Good for her, it looked very nice and realistic. Solo cups was amazing especially when you realize the time it took to melt it all together. Fantastic. This guy has a lot of talent that goes obviously beyond the sewing machine. I did like the vacuum cleaner bag dress.....very creative and really out-did so many of the other dresses. This will really wow the judges. Hope she can continue this effort. I was a little miffed by her comments at the end of the show. Wish they wouldn't have shown that...watch the attitude, sister, it will get you every time. Just look at who out ousted! Mr. Tan.....you are soooooo lucky that you didn't leave. What a mess, and you liked it!!!!

I too was waiting for someone else to start the thread and post the pictures!I really liked both the vacuum bag skirt and the solo cup dress. I hope both designers keep up the good work. I also really liked the top the one girl made by braiding mop heads together. I'm glad they gave the rocker chick another chance. Yeah, her outfit was hideous, and, according to the editing she totally threw it together at the last second, but with luck she will make some cool, edgy pieces. I get that Blayne wanted to do something outre, but it looked harajuki girl gone horridly wrong. Also, and this goes for all contestants, stop trying to have a catchphrase. Christian and "fierce" irritated the heck out of me, and I *liked* Christian. Good call on eliminating the raincoat guy. I saw the stuff he normally designs, and cannot fathom what his vision was for this challenge. Didn't he specifically say that he thought the other people were wrong for trying to be innovative? When that was what the whole challenge was about? And then he created the hazmat suit? Sorry buddy, I would have eliminated you also. Lots of solid, middle of the road stuff. Everyone looks talented IRL. I hope that bodes for an awesome season! Hair by Tribephyl

>I forgot about the mop outfit....that, >too, showed creativity. As did I..gee, there were just SO many of them to wrap the brain around, but yes, that was quite ingenius to braid those mops into a cute little top! She deserved the kudos she got for that! It'll be interesting to see what goes down this season: I have a feeling there will be some women who are going to stand out in the crowd this time, for a change! Nice job, jbug, et. al!! THANKS AGAIN! Love your efforts!

LAST EDITED ON 07-21-08 AT 07:07 PM (EST)Dishonorable mentions. Black trash bag dress/labcoat from hell -- Tough call. Both designs were fugly as all heck but the labcoat thing also had an added level of creepy. My personal preference? I'd have sent her home first -- wrapped in cheap garbage bags. However, Blayne's weird diaper leotard thing was equally horrific LOL. Oh yeah, having a weird diaper/codpiece covering my crotch and belly is going to happen. LOL Honorable mentions. I have two. First is the mop dress. I loved this, and I think Terri is just as clever and resourceful as Kelli. I also liked the pasta dress by Joe. It was clever, and the skirt had great movement even under the weight of the pasta. I will say this for the choices both good and bad for this bunch; at least they stayed away from tablecloths!
ETF: candy to pasta

I forgot about the pasta dress (I don't think it was candy) That was some good ingenuity as well. Thanks for posting it.So it really goes to show you, there is a drastic difference between those with creativity and those who took the tablecloths. It was either hit or miss. You rocked or you stunk profusely. “I love Jesus but I drink a little”. Gladys Hardy

LAST EDITED ON 07-21-08 AT 12:24 PM (EST)who knows what will transpire when it jumps to Lifetime. Each designer will explain his/her garment in the context of a heartwrenching story of betrayal, loss and self-discovery accompanied by a mimed performance starring Kelli Martin, Veronica Hamel, Billy Campbell or another "made for TV" actor. Andre will guest judge every episode and Kleenex will be a major sponsor.

15. "Yea! The wait is over . . ." |
I just love Project Runway. It's a wonderful combination of great fashion and snarkiness. And I get to give my unsolicited opinion of everyone. So we have . . . Blayne who is a perfect example of why a man, even a gay man, should never be allowed to define a term like "girlicious". Was his gross woven thing a swimsuit? dance leotard? bodysuit? medieval torture device? And having the weave be white and over the middrif (sp?) makes anyone look chunky. Daniel who was a genius with plastic cups. I suspect he'll have a good showing this season. Emily who made an enormous neck ruff over a fairly inconsequential dress - though I love her personal style. I want the shoes she wore to Gristedes. Jen who would have been called on the carpet for her boring ruffled dress (1988 anyone?) had 3 of her competitors not screwed up. Jerell who managed to line his one-shoulder lawnchair bodice with mini umbrellas without jamming them directly into the model. I liked it. Jerry who thought using a shower curtain to make a raincoat was innovative. Oh dear. I have to wonder if he would have bested Stella had he just styled his model differently. Lose the gloves, boots and hat; upsweep the hair, add bright heels with matching belt and tell her to walk with attitude. Either way, it was a disaster. Joe who glued pasta to a skirt and didn't cook any of it for dinner. The result was cute, but I don't think it was beyond that. Keith who made a dress we've seen before with a tablecloth. Kelli who won by wisely avoiding obvious fabric substitutes and adding her own artistic vision. Reminded me of Jeffrey's ugly/beautful recycled dress that I loved. Kenly who made a rubber ball bodice for an A cup but managed to stuff a C into it. I actually thought this was pretty cute, and like Emily, I love her personal style. Korto who took the easy way out with a tablecloth but managed to create a beautiful garment. Leanne who glued sweets all over the fashion equivalent of a ball of cotton candy. I thought it was fairly awful. Stella who must not shop for garbage bags very often. And I'm confused. Heidi said that the judges don't know who Stella is as a designer. Does anyone here have that problem? Stella designs clothing that is black, tight, grommeted, corset-tied and typical of the rock-n-roll uniform (thus proving that even rebels conform to a standard). Suede who designed a tablecloth sheath camouflaged with poo bags. This is another designer who would have had to defend his choices if 3 of his competitors hadn't screwed up so completely. Terri who made me appreciate macrame, which is no longer relegated to being a craft for people who love truly heinous planters. Wesley who also likes a yellow tablecloth. He just doesn't like it well enough to create a unique garment. He's kind of smug and I don't think I'm going to be a big Wesley fan.Can't wait 'til next episode!
