"What is with the super short skirts?? (spoiler info)" |
Do women really go out dressed like that? Do these designers not realize that some of us have very short, petite legs that would look incredibly odd in a skirt up to our a$$es? As far as I'm concerned, so do the models, who have 60" legs! And I'm not just talking about Ping's fall-out-of-your-behind look. I'm saying so many of those runway outfits were not even appropriate to SIT in. How do they do it? Why even bother with a skirt if you're only going to use a yard of material? Believe me, I came from the generation that invented the mini-skirt, but this is beyond that. 4" from the waist line, a skirt does not make. Just MY humble opinion... BTW, I thought the runner-up girl should have gotten the win, not Mia, but the other one. Hers looked the most like an original burlap that had been reformed. Sorry for the model who had to wear Ping's dress to the party-HA. Oh well...

5. "RE: Let's see if these pics work" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-22-10 AT 02:16 PM (EST)jbug - Thanks for the pics. Adorable Tim Gunn is out of his element, again. I enjoyed Lauren Hutton as a judge. She popped in to MOTR to give a little pep talk and get another look at her favorite dress (Amy's). I thought Amy had the best dress and was going to win. Dying the edges of her fabric was a terrific way to add lots of interest without losing the look of burlap and she was able to satisfy her model with a backless dress. My other favorites were Emilio (too casual?) and Anthony.
My least favorites were: Maya (too too much going on there), Jesse (ugly pants), Pamela (nice job of dying the fabric, but trashy design). I’ll give pass to Ping this week, she’s going to need to make something amazing next time or I think she’ll be gone (unless she’s kept around for the crazy factor her amazing POV). eta: How do these designers continue to make size 0 models look heavy?

6. "Season 7, Episode 2" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-25-10 AT 04:32 PM (EST)After a super-easy challenge, the show came back with a super-hard one: convert burlap sacks to a party dress for your model to wear to an industry party. Break out the dye! I thought Amy's outfit was a certain winner. It showed flair and was also attention-getting in the right ways without trying to renounce its humble origins. I thought Jay's winning look was good, but I wouldn't have put it in the Top 3 over either Anthony (who surprised me, because his outfit in the super-easy first challenge was yeeech) or Anna Marie's surprisingly good "potato print" (which would have been great when Banana Republic was a sponsor -- it looks like their stuff). And then there were Mila and Janeane, who were at least as good as Jay. Jesse's "horsey-set chic" was also well-done, but perhaps not right for an industry party (OK, more than "perhaps"). Anyway, we may have some interesting clothes from this group, though I'm noit sure what was the judging criterion that gave Jay a fluky victory. And then there were the duds. Peng's was far and away the worst. She survived solely for drama factor, because she proved conclusively that she has no construction skills whatsoever, and I'm not convinced that she understands English. That monstrosity might have looked acceptable at the local 4H square dance, but nowhere else. Jesus has done two straight duds. I thought for certain he was gone. But the producers must have thought he had some drama factor as well. It's hard to complain about Pamela's eviction, though, because her jeans dress didn't say "industry party" ... it said "rock concert." Seth could have been in the bottom as well, as well as a couple of others. It's a shame only one got sent home, because we know that none of these four have a chance. And Lauren Hutton, despite looking like the Dragon Lady, came across as a very good judge and a nice upgrade from the clueless Nicole Richie in Week 1. I'm looking forward to Week 6 (when the clueless hordes are ... hopefully ... gone). dEdited to add: Re-saw part of the episode with daughter #2 over weekend. Still like Anna Marie's pattern, but not the dress shape. I guess Amy and Anthony were my top 2. In a second look, I liked Emilio's lines more than I did at first, too. Still not a strong Jay fan, though -- it was OK, but others were much better.

Drama factor was clearly the reason Ping was kept around - no other explanation. That disaster she sent down the runway could possibly be the worst garment ever sent down the runway. Pamela's problem was she lacked personality and showed no great design skills to make up for it. Producers obviously felt no need to keep around the generic Pamela who would just fade into the background anyway - Ping is at least memorable and Jesus is more flamboyant as well.

I agree about Anthony's design deserving of being Top 3 this week. I thought that was a beautiful dress.

quote Peng's was far and away the worst. She survived solely for drama factor, because she proved conclusively that she has no construction skills whatsoever, and I'm not convinced that she understands English. unquote AyaK - Totally agree here. She's controversial and seems to delight in the fact that she does things differently. Doing things differently is not in and of itself something to be proud of. It's only when your individualism makes you stand out in a way other than creating bad designs. And you are so right about that understanding English part. She certainly understood everything up to that point. And she was even warned by Tim that the stage was elevated and to make the skirt too short or you'd see everything. Remember how she understood the concept of being "elevated?" And even if you didn't know an "industry" party was referring to the fashion industry (fashion? You know, what she's on the show to create! rolls eyes), exactly what other "industry" event is it acceptable for a woman to wear a skirt where the slit in the back reveals your entire buttocks? Hmmmm... let's see ... oh, that's right! There isn't any! ---------------------- quote Jesus has done two straight duds. I thought for certain he was gone. unquote I don't know. I'm liking Jesus' stuff. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the dress ... well, other than that back issue which was stupid because Christiane got canned for about the same type of design. The only difference was that Christiane couldn't sew properly and had construction issues. ----------------- And didn't you say something about Seth? Whoever did, I agree! Seth's stuff is horrible! He definitely should have been in the bottom two this week along with Ping! I don't mind the hood concept - in fact I like hoods, but one with polka dot burn outs? What was that? Looked like bullet holes or cigarette burns. Neither is a particularly good fashion statement. Seth looks cool. Think it's a major reason he's there. And Ping is there because she adds 'drama.' Pamela was too nice and her dress really wasn't anything new, different or particularly well-done. It looked a little too short or something. The proportion was off with the bodice being low and strapless and then the skirt up to the model's high tide mark. I think it was the back of it that sealed the deal. Seth didn't have puckering, just ugly going on. And Jesus, the dress fit. But then that leaves the big question mark as to why Ping wasn't tossed out for showing the entire nether region of a woman's backside, and we have the answer - need an oddball to create tension and drama! If Christiane or Pamela were big-mouthed, controversial or contentious, they'd still be around! Welcome to the wonderful world of reality TV!

I noticed on the Models of the Runway show that Ping's poor model had put on black tights, which definitely helped.
