That show was dreadful. The runway AND the tv show ABOUT the runway.
I really think that we've been had, this season. THe viewers, I mean. I think that, from the beginning, things have been edited to make Michael look like ... hell, I don't even know anymore. But, like... when the judges love him, they LOVE him, and then that love is always held out like the BINGBANGBOOM! surprise. It surprises us. It surprises the other designers. It surprises Michael. The only people it doesn't surprise are the editors...and the judges, I guess.
Also, everyone underwhelmed me in the design arena tonight. 5 almost-all-black looks? really? It'd be one thing if any one of them quoted the ubiquitous 'NY black,' but they didn't!
I don't want to see separates from Ann Taylor Loft (not even Ann Taylor, but her LOFT) as a $500 big runway 'wow' look. ANd April's was awful. Her model looked absolutely pregnant and I don't know any woman who wants to look pregnant. And it was just too...boring. It was the exact same elements; even her story hadn't changed. She can't really think she's going to do black in every challenge, with lots of the same styling elements and hairdos, and feel she's pushing the envelope. Mondo's look was..perhaps the best (well...i don't know) in that I got a. him, b. the bridge and c.... I don't know what else. I didn't care for the double-notch neckline. I thought it wasn't flattering. I got that it was a bridge though, but I could've odne without that. Andy's dress was chic and I agree that the 'wet' thing made it neat. In a way, I liked it more than Mondo's. I thought it was more flattering, I guess, and I didn't necessarily get Warrior WOman out of it. In fact, I don't think he's gone that route much, so I don't know why the judges thought so. He should've said, and I hope he did though we never saw it, that the waviness of the back had to do with the tree limbs and walkways of the park. That might've sold the park idea. It was a missed opportunity for him.
And Michael...I don't get it. It was an ok dress. Nice, even. But it was black. And we have certainly seen it before. ANd it was a bit shapeless. It's actually a perfect dress for a pregnant woman b/c there's plenty of room under there. Of course, I think a preggo needs a brassiero but whatevero. I just didn't see that dress being the talk of the town. It's a dress pulled from central casting. It's a stock photo dress. It's been done.
I don't know.
I suspect that he may not get into the next round and present at fashion week.
I don't care for the 4 of you win but none of you really win BS. The show has enough tension; it doesn't need that cheap smoke-and-mirrors bullshit.
