It was so much fun to get a real NYC challenge. And the neighborhoods they chose were good ones.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Got no complaints about the judging, either.

Oh, not at all. In fact, I really loved the winners, even if the nighttime look could have been a long gown, imo.

I really liked all of the top 4 looks, and having a cohesive look really put the winners over the top. And everything the judges had to say about the bottom four was right on.

Absolutely. And you're right -- the top two teams definitely had looks that related to each other beautifully.
I'm very psyched to hear Michael Kors say "disco straightjacket" next week, too.

Oh, yes. That'll be a treat.

Oh, Amy, me too! I can't wait to see what inspires that comment.

I thought that the Mila's look was not very evening at all. It was a good look but far too casual. I don't know if they were trying to make a statement about the east village with the casualness of the outfit or what.
I continue to love Anthony beyond reason. His comment about the ducks was priceless! I also like that he is really learning and growing.
I liked Emilio's dress, but it needed some quality time with the steamer. I was surprised by how well they worked together. I thought that two really strong personalites such as they have would have clashed, but they made it work.
I thought that Jay should have gone home. I didn't hear the dreaded "poor construction", but "ill fitting" and "unflattering" were thrown around a lot. Those pants weren't cool, they were atrocious. No woman wants to wear peplums on her thighs.
I didn't love Amy's "upper east side" look. It didn't really fit the challenge, which is probably what sealed the deal. It was also way too casual of a look. If she had made it a dress and accessorized it with cute heels and a good bag, she might have gotten away with it.

Yeah, I think so. Guest judge even tried to make the imperfections of Jay's outfit a stylistic choice. That could be what saved him!
We didn't see them ask Amy and Jonathan how they worked together, did we? I liked Jay's answer.

Perhaps what ultimately saved Jay was that if the outfit had been made well, they would have liked it; whereas Amy's outfit was made well (or at least not badly) and they didn't like it. Also, I think that choosing upper east side was dangerous, because that's probably where the judges live, so they have a very particular idea of what's appropriate for their neighborhood.
