PR: Social Scene Challenge

Project Runway's latest challenge was to make a party dress for one of the leading socialites, Nikki Hilton. I love her, I think she's beautiful, and has a great sense of style. She even has her own fashion line. I couldn't think of a better candidate, great choice for the show guys!
Now, down to the nitty-gritty:

Santino aka *insert 4-letter word here*: He definitely modeled his look after Nikki's style. He did well in the interaction with her at the party as well. As much as I hate to say it, his style was really innovative and it looked like something she would wear. I really liked it. He won. Grrr.

Guadalupe aka Lupus: She finally lost! How she made it this far on her hideously ugly dresses, I'll never know. It looked poorly sewn, and just a gaudy monstrosity. Ick! Too much crinkle, bows, flowers... too much Lupe! The only good thing about her look was the necklace, and I know she didn't make that, but that's all I could think of. She reminds me of Starr from PR 1. Barf. I'm glad she's gone.

Andrae aka Emotional wreck: I loved his dress! At first when he whipped out the jersey I was clawing at my eyes, but he really stepped it up. It didn't look like the tradition casual jersey dress. It had beautiful lines with a bit of a sparkle, and the straps were an added elegance. Nice work Spastic!

Chloe aka Mini-Rachel: I loved her dress as usual. It was simple with a twist. She picked a gorgeous color and did a classic design. She adds things that really make the ensemble pop. I think she would've won this challenge if the design had been a tad more complex. I just love all her designs.

Daniel V. aka Sexy Man: I thought that despite his colored fabric disaster, the look turned out really great. It was the most vibrant of all the dresses and it had a great pattern. I thought it was going to be too much going on, but the finished product looked magnificent. It was fun and very chic. My only question is... how does he do his hair? It's the perfect amount of toussledness!

Diana aka Nerdy McNerdyson: I think every week her design is very different. She definitely has her own style. I liked her dress, but I thought that it was too much, too much fabric, too much layering and too much of everything for the style she was trying to achieve. I also don't think that her interaction with Nikki at the party went all that well. She tends to come off as... well, nerdy. I still like her because I think she's got potential, but the make-over needs to happen stat! You sell your clothes by selling yourself.

Kara aka Kara Plain 'n Tall: I actually liked her design. It was a bit too common. Everyone has a dress similar to that, and while it may sell, it's not cutting edge. I think that she needs to down the prozac while she's making all her garments, but her accent is fun to hear as a panicked screech.

Marla aka Matronly Creator: She copied her dress from one of the pictures they received of Nikki Hilton. Her duplicate was ugly, and Tim Gunn had repeatedly warned her of the similarities. He strongly suggested that she change it to not look so similar. She rotated the square top and added a gem. Not a whole lotta difference lady! I think she'll be out next week. In the words of our beloved Michael Kors, "It's so Maaaaatronly. It looks like a mother of the bride". Be gone Marla!

Nick aka Hottie Potatie: His designs are always right on target. I think it was a very close 3-way tie for the win. His look was in a vibrant beautiful blue, that had a great shape. It flowed nicely, it looked completely original, and as always very well thought out. I loved it. I loved the back, loved the fish tail edge, loved the cut, loved the piecing, loved it LOVED IT! He can do no wrong in my book.

Zulema aka Afro Puff: I didn't like her design. I didn't quite understand it. The top started out well, then as you scan down it just dissolved into this creamy bunched mass. I'm not sure what she was going for it. Maybe she should've made it all tailored like the top, or all chaotic like the bottom. I don't know. It just was blah.

I think this challenge had a lot more good designs than the previous, but they still have a long way to go. I think that the top 3 will be Santino, Chloe, and Nick. I hope they do more unique challenges. I want to see different designs, different styles, and I think it's always interesting when they have a "client". The saga continues!

Bow-Chicka-Bow-Wow!

Watching Project Runway last night only solidified our notion that certain contestants are more than likely "getting it on" behind the scenes. It was ESPECIALLY evident during the re-run of the episode "Team Lingerie", which aired before last night's new episode. If you recall, during this episode, Heidi Klum chose 4 team leaders and those 4 had to choose their teammates. With a skip in their step and a gleam in their eyes, it's clear, my dear reader, that the following designers are sharing more than just work space...Daniel V and Andrae: When Daniel chose Andrae, Andrae looked waaaay too pleased to have been chosen by him. His reaction was almost orgasmic. Daniel is a cutie patootie, with his toussled hair and smoldering eyes, but he could do much better than Andrae, whose head is so big it looks like an orange on a toothpick.Now imagine if these two mated together... I think this is what their child might look like:

Santino and Nick: Somewhat similar to the reaction above, but this time, it was Santino that looked like he was going to spooge his pants when he got to choose Nick to be on his team. Santino's eyes got even more googly than normal and all I could think was "Keep it in your pants, mister!" Nick is so cute though! He and Daniel V should shack up together... they'd be so cute together!!!Now imaging if Santino and Nick mated... I think this is what their child might look like:

Barf... I have to go eat lunch now, and I'm pretty sure I've lost my appetite.

Words of Wisom: Part Two

Ladies... I really don't want to have to go "Stacy & Clinton" on your ass. Seriously, I'll scratch your eyes out if I see you wearing shoulder pads while sporting a heinous bright teal and black striped business suit with gold buttons.Shoulder pads went out in the late 80's, my friends. Please do not wear them now. It's 2006.

Words of Wisdom

When you're wearing pink pajamas the size of a Russian circus tent covered in paisley red flowers, and you pair it with elephant sized red slippers... Don't go out to get the mail. People will see you.It's not pretty.
