What he said. x10.

[Paquito]

Wow, that was such a huge twist. I mean, I've never seen anything like that before on Project Runway ever. Lifetime might be getting a little too crazy to handle.




And Irina, trust me, no one is copying you.

But cutting two people at the last challenge was a nice twist, and upped the tension, definitely.
!

i really appreciate how into this you are! go you!

ok, all i can really think of is that Irina is that stereotypical bull-headed child of immigrants. I think she feels so pushed to succeed (and not necessarily by her own parents, maybe just more the mental gene that sometimes develops in immigrants over time) that she has a. an inflated sense of self and b. an antisocial me v. everyone else thing going on.

Very unattractive to watch. What was it that vardon said about pretty recently? I'll bastardize it: Nothing says pretty like calling someone else('s designs) ugly.

Poor Carol Hannah, melting down that way. I know how awful I feel when I'm sick like that. It would get right to my head and freak me out. I hope what's-his-face lets her cry it out for a solid 5 minutes and then tells her she can do this and he'll help her and it'll all be ok.

ps: I was in boston last week presiding over a conference. The hotel was nice. But it didn't carry most cable channels?! I mean over the summer I stayed at a dumpy motel in nowheresville Poughkeepsie. I could watch PR there!

[mossystate]

Gowns and slouchy sweaters...oh, and a Liza jacket ( ok, that one was discarded, but, ya never know if it might work its way into a bra lining. Can't...ummmm...wait?

[Jes]

all right.

i'm too lazy to look this up.

do we know if pt. 2 will defs be shown this week? i'm having my surgery on thursday (feel free to give me empathy/sympathy rep, that IS, after all, why I mentioned it), and if I'm with it, I want to watch. But i'm not going to force my eyelids open to find out the show has been pre-empted for something stupid.

[Jes]

oh lord.

who are these diesnigers who think that this is the best group of PR contesentans ever? come on now.

i didn't think any of the 3 were very swrong. each had a few nice peices, but nothing wowed me.

and yes, i can't type for shit. i had felany...something and percocet at the shopsital. Shit. HOspital. thank you. the end.

Hospital? You OK? Never mind the typing!

But here's how I know you're really under the weather... you didn't comment on the psychotic "Something About Mary" hairstyle on that guest judge. It was like she rolled up a pair of tights and glued them to her forehead. Why? Why would she think that was the look to choose to judge the final on Project Runway?!!

They did finally have Michael Kors and Nina Garcia together on a couple of episodes- I was beginning to suspect they had a backstage feud! So much of the season was spent with one or the other of them gone. Guess they negotiated their new contracts to include at little time as possible. I hate not having a consistent panel- it makes results even more subjective, and it showed in the results. Nicholas got a longer ride, Ramon a shorter one, Epperson too- I just think we missed out, because it was like bingo machine judging- today, we send home, wait for it... B6!

*AS* for the results- meh. I don't think any of us really cared. None of them popped, the whole season or the finale. I did like having the models show, though. I suppose I'll just hope for a better cast next year.

[Jes]

I KNOW. I couldn't even process that nutjob! And she was weird, too. Like, she seemed gaga over the most boring shit. OH, IRINA, I JUST LOVE HOW YOU USED BLACK. WHY, I"VE NEVER SEEN BLACK BEFORE IN MY LIFE! AND CERTAINLY NEVER IN NEW YORK.

she had that crazy googly-eyed expression on her face the whole time, like she was high.

i kind of loved/hated/loved it. but i was disappointed with the series and the end, too.

yes, operation. I was feeling pretty good 'til bedtime and then I lost my shit. But today is a bit better. Every day will be, I hope. I'm doing a liquid diet right now, but craving a cheesesteak.

[QueenB]

i wasted my time watching this entire season. eh.

[ThatFatGirl]

Always the optimist, I hope season 7 will be more exciting. Can't believe it will begin in January!

I liked a few of Irina's pieces quite a lot but I had to go to the PR6 website to really see the details to appreciate them. I preferred Carol Hannah's collection and all the pretty, frilly dresses. Overall though, not a huge wow either.

[JerseyGirl07093]

Yes, OMG what was up with that hairdo?! I could not stop staring! Who in their right mind would do that to someone's hair/wear hair like that? For some reason she reminded me of Ursula from the Little Mermaid. I kept thinking "Why are you up there judging designs, isn't there a mermaid somewhere that you need to go kill?"
I like Carol Hannah's collection the best. But Heidi said it was not cohesive. While that may have been true, it was still the best one in my opinion. Irina with everthing black...boring! Ooh, she made a t shirt, so amazing! Man, they were impressed with mighty little this season.

[ThatFatGirl]

Check out Google images "Suzy Menkes" & you'll see this pompadour hairdo is a trademark look she has worn for years. It's goofy, but I have to say it's one of those things I love about fashion's characters like Carrie Donovan and her crazy big "O" glasses (below..loved her), Karl Lagerfeld and his ponytail, or Coco Chanel and her pearls. I wonder if Christian Siriano will wear his asymmetrical pixie 'do for the next 40-50 years?





p.s. Hope you're feeling better, Jes!

[mossystate]

After I got done squinting and wondering if it was a piece of something other than hair...I liked that she marches to her own drummer! I mean, Michael has cornered the market on ....zzzzzzz....tees under jackets. I also liked that she seemed to be reaching deep down to convey how the fashions made her react as a viewer.

The finale was not quite as bad as I thought it would be...but...no more boring fashion ( Qristyl...wth ), unless it is backed up with a wacky designer.

Meana Irina. Good nickname!
(thanks di)

[Paquito]

...well, not every season can be a winner, can it?

Let's try harder next year. Bravo would never have let this happen.

[JerseyGirl07093]

When does the next season start? I'm getting antsy already! Have they started filming it yet? Let's hope next season is more exciting.

i wish i could claim it, they called her that on the show...lol..it fits doesnt it?

[lypeaches]

Well, pretty much agree with everything here...it was just boring overall.

But I do have a tidbit re: Nina Garcia and Michael Kors. In a Tim Gunn interview on the Late Late Show, he said that both Nina and Michael had Eureopean trips scheduled for their own work that conflicted with PR shooting schedule, particularly because it was in LA. When in New York it could be juggled, but the extra 5 hours flying time made it impossible. Hence the return to New York next season.

oh it is!? i didn't know that. Good. Good. I didn't care for the LA version. Booo.

[lypeaches]

I haven't seen it "officially" anywhere...but it's what Tim Gunn said, so I would hope that he would know. I've a feeling he probably wanted it returned to New York too. Nothing about Tim Gunn says "West Coast".

Only slightly off topic, i just saw an amusing quote by Dorothy Parker. "When they come up with a color darker than black, I'll wear that."
Classic New York line .

[Jes]

I think the world owes every single non-winning PR contestant an apology. Apparently you CAN send their worst offenders down the runway and still make it in fashion:
