Now that I think about it, Kit getting aufed is this season's Allison moment -- she clearly had the artistic streak and the sense of style, but she never quite let loose, and then -- after having no real previous low points -- she's let go for something that, while not great, was more interesting and ambitious than what survived.
(1. Chrysler Building dress. 2. Fierce dress. 3. Vosovic orchid blouse).
I'm with Liese on this for top three, although Jay's quilt coat from the S1 finale put up a big fight for inclusion here.
I loved the quilt coat too - but could totally live with that top three.
I still dream about Austin Scarlett's Banana Republic dress.
Ricky is going to make it in to the final 3 isn't he?
Gods, I hope not. I think he might get auf'd next week. But, that's what I thought for this week, so...
In better PR news, guess who visited the Project Rungay guys to watch last night's ep? Jay!!
Over Christmas I was staying with my mother and sister and watched a fair amount of cable, including a Project Runway marathon. I'm so impressed that Tim Gunn can look at something and, quite mildly, say, "it's not working for me" when I look at it and my reaction is "what have you been smoking?"
He was extra rigid, and once again, draped. Beautiful, but the same again! I mean, I like his aesthethic, but can he not drape something? The only thing he didn't drape was the candy challenge, and you can't drape plastic!
He's this season's Ulli (is that how you spell her name?). All she ever made were print halter dresses. The entire season -- short halters, longer halters, halters with ugly, wadded up necklaces to use up extra fabric. How often did she deviate from that? And still she made it to the end of the season. So Rami may be around for a while yet.
Well, my Tivo cut the end off again - thank goodness for this thread or I'd never know the results!
It's tragic that Ricky is still around, but I really couldn't see the judges getting rid of him this week, when it was clear that everything they hated about the look was Kit's fault. I guess they could have gotten him for inaction, but he did make about half of the total garments, even if his contributions were totally uninspired. Feh.
I have 6 siblings, 5 of whom are women. Who do you thing watches PR? My brother. He even gets on his cell with his oldest daughter so they can watch together. You have no idea how hilarious this is to me.
He was as outraged as were we all about Kit. His fave is Jillian, though.
