Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Uncle Nick! He was on the same season as Santino and Andre.

I used to follow his blog but it was a bit too self-promoting.

Ah, I think I only saw part of that season.

I cannot stand Buffi. I think her accent is fake (which is one of my BIG pet peeves). Her whole "persona" is put on.

She's like the $.50 Lady Gaga.

She's trying really hard to be outrageous, but some of her clothes are cute.

Because books.

Looks like this season is certainly not going to be boring.

I get why they Kooan was safe, given Lantie and Beatrice's work, but I can't imagine how far he's going to get. Who's his customer? That's a pretty small niche.

I would have sent Lantie home over Beatrice, just because that beige lace dress was completely hideous. But I wonder if Beatrice is relieved -- how did she not know she needed decent sewing skills for this show?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Same here. That ugly tulle-ish material with the python *crookedly* sewn on bodice - blech. I thought it looked way worse than Beatrice's, which was mostly unobjectionable.

I hated that guy (Gunner? Gunnar? Something like that) who got sent home first last year then kept bitching about the winning designer in what came across like jealous snits. What an unpleasant little shit. I hope he gets sent home soon.

Ven's stuff is GORGEOUS but that pink dress was a bit sedate. I did love that bustier though.

I think Christopher is going to have a hard time in future challenges, just looking at how much better made his first look was compared to the companion piece. I am so sick of Gunnar's sniping already.

Loved Ven's stuff. OMG, so gorgeous.

I don't understand Kooan's POV, but that kind of draws me in, like if I see more maybe I'll get it? We'll see. I suspect Lantie is going to crash as soon as she tries to make something that doesn't have snakeskin tacked on. Beatrice did seem like she was already in over her head as soon as the challenge started.

Yeah, that was completely ridiculous.

(Gunner? Gunnar? Something like that)

GUNNAR DEATH-RAGE. OK, it's actually Deatherage, and probably closer to "dether-edge," but STILL.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Well, Anya won last year not knowing how to sew, so she probably decoded to go for it. You know what would be interesting? A PR show where you have an equal number of designers and constructionists (is that a word?), and they have to work together to make garments. Call it Project Runway: Partners
