Project Runway: Lantie is so deluded. I'm having a hard time understanding how she made it on the show.

Lantie is so deluded. I'm having a hard time understanding how she made it on the show.

I haven't seen this weeks episode yet, but I agree!

Thrive to spite them

PR = I don't really understand how Buffi ended up in the bottom but Andrea didn't. Buffy made something out of the actual candy whereas all Andrea really did was sew the paper strips of candy together and make a bustle out of fabric.

That must have been a tight race for the third one in the bottom three. Buffi's styling really didn't help her, though. And I'm sure they knew Lantie was going to go.

So many of the safe dresses, and the top 3, were so pretty. I'm pretty pleased with the runways this season so far, in the ooh-pretty-clothes department.

I was actually rooting for Gunnar to win a little bit, just because he said if he had immunity he'd design something really out there. I have wanted someone to do that for so long, but they never do.

Definitely. There are actually clothes this season that I look at and say, "want!" and it has been several season since that has happened for me.

She has the dreaded "taste level" issues.

She does. And if I can see the taste level issues, it's a problem, because I rather like garish and loud. And she's proud of it, but then she takes criticism cheerfully, which makes me like her a little better. If she listens to the criticism and starts editing herself, I will be impressed.

Buffi's was so over the top, though, in terms of being something I would never wear (and I think most people wouldn't), that it ended up looking sort of cute to me? Like, I could have seen Madonna wearing that once upon a time, and definitely Katy Perry.

Which, you know, doesn't mean it's good taste at all, just that at least it was sort of fun.

she takes criticism cheerfully

I was glad to see that, too. Especially after Lantie's cluelessness.

I agree. I kind of liked it and thought Katy Perry would totally wear it.

It's too bad she went strapless with the bodice, if that woven candy hadn't had to hold it's shape to look good it would have come across as pretty impressive, I think.

I'm catching up on SYTYCD, now. I can see the bad feet thing in the cha cha! I feel so - educated? Informed? Something.
