Now I'm all a'scared to get caught up. I really, really liked Chris -- mostly because he was a local, but also because he just seemed funny and sweet and I liked that he was a theatrical costumer, and, dammit, his stuff was always extremely well-constructed, and that's what the judges are always harping on.
And he was one of the few people who didn't botch the menswear challenge. That was so shamefully godawful; I felt like someone should have either physically bitchslapped the worst offenders and filmed it and shown it every Fashion Week, or maybe just announced that everyone who'd managed to actually make a recognizable, wearable suit (all four of them? five?) would get automatic immunity on the next two or three challenges.
Bleah. The shoulder pads are just going to make me sad and resentful.
Yeah, I think booting Chris was a mistake, and really just an odd choice.
Jesse, that Jack/Dale news totally made my day. thank you.
I don't understand how Ricky has survived the last 3 episodes, really. Hasn't he always been in the bottom? Chris jacket was stupid but Ricky's offenses, both design and leadership-wise, were way more egregious.
Victorya pissed me off a lot.
And I still love Christian.
I'm watching Project Runway Canada, are we talking in spoiler font about it here?
may not need spoiler font since it has already aired. I'm all caught up, so discuss away! I love Iman.
I've only seen 2 episodes of PR:Canada.
man! then you better white font.
ProjectRunway Canada - episode 2
I thought the losing dress wasn't that bad, I thought Megan's was worse, and I don't understand how someone with such poor sewing skills could be on one of these shows. They had that problem in S1 of PR, but I thought they'd closed the loop on that. I wonder if the judges will hold the decision by the woman with immunity against her in the future, because she was way too obvious about not caring.
Episode 3
I hate Bratz dolls. The show wasn't as smooth on the editing about who was going to go, anytime someone starts thinking they are safe and getting a lot of air time saying that, it's definitely a bad sign for them. The losing outfit was boring. The one woman, Michel, I think, was docked points for the slit being too high and therefore too sexy but the winning outfit looked super sexy as well.
PRC - Actually - when the judges really loved that dress by
Lucian that I thought was a trainwreck -
I figured that I'd not be able to get what they were looking for.
But I really enjoyed the challenge in episode two although when they introduced the "twist" - I thought - they did this in PR Classic, didn't they? I kind of loved how so many of the outfits
showed their lineage as umbrellas but that the one buy who did the slick mini - had his model carry the umbrella frame as a reference. I figure that both Luther and Megan are elimination fodder and it will be her time soon. (Unless the non-sewing thing is more a matter of "haven't sewn in a while" rather than "don't know how to sew at all.")
And I really love Iman. She is so severe.
