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.
I thought Chris's dress this time looked very similar to the dress he made for the first challenge, and I thought he would run into the "too costumey" problem in the future, which is what happened here. I liked him personally, though. The color/fabric for his team's work was really, really indefensible.
Christian doesn't bug me as much as he did at the beginning, but in this ep he said, (paraphrasing): "I named our team 'Star', because we're hot...like celebrities!" Good thing you clarified there, hon. Otherwise I would have confused your team name with the hottest objects in the universe.
Iman is so totally severe. Have either of you gotten to the ep where she cuts down one of the judges? Damn. I replayed her comment like 4 times because I couldn't believe it.
le nubian, I don't think I've gotten to that, can you whitefont what she said and who it was?
I'm really mainlining PR Canada I'm watching Episode 6 judging and I just got to
where Iman goes after MG for using "Guth" as a trashy look and telling her it looked Goth lite. Which is true. YAY Iman for standing up for Goth.
One more thing about the episode
I can't believe Megan made it through AGAIN! I swear she's like Vincent, sticking around longer than she has the right to.
askye, you should be at the ep soon (or already saw it). I think it might be in ep 6 where Iman goes after the male judge and takes him to task for having no taste! It was so blunt and surprising. He liked an outfit that Iman did not like at all.
Okay I saw that and another time when Iman was free with her dissenting opinion, which is nice.
I'm now on Episode 8 and
omigod, I liked Biddel until this episode and now he's just getting on my nerves. Plus I'm worried that the plus sized models (who really aren't that big) are going to look bad in some of those suits. I feel bad for MG's model and the way she was parading around with her bra on her head.
Damn. My dial-up is so slow that it takes me hours just to see two minutes of PR:Canada.
askye, oh the horrors of ep 8. the plus sized models ended up looking kind of bad in most of the suits, I think.
ln -
yeah. Although out of all of them I liked MG's punk rock look and Lucian's gypsy bikini. But the poor model wearing the 20's inspired suit, it was all of the things you shouldn't do. I liked Brian shutting down some of the negative attitudes the designers were having about the models. I dind't like him at first, but I like him now. He has a more approachable personality than Tim does. Which is fine. Right now I'm watching Ep 9 and waiting to get to the runway to see what Biddel puts out and what Iman's reaction is if he actually does that weird hood thing.
