Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still dream about Austin Scarlett's Banana Republic dress.

Ricky is going to make it in to the final 3 isn't he?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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!!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

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.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I loved, loved, loved Team Fierce's dress. And I still love Christian. His little impromptu modeling lesson? So cute. What can I say, I like the annoying ones (sometimes). I loved Hung, too, so maybe Christian FTW? Nah! But I really can't believe they made that dress in two days (plus another look). Agreed that the coat was amazing and where Victorya and Jillian fell down was on the second, ready to wear look.

I remember not liking Rami's first dress, but I liked him because I thought he was pretty. Now, I don't like him or his designs. He was an ass to Sweet Pea. And she was a bit ridiculous in her little breakdown when her model had to comfort her, but it's a very stressful, kinda crazy situation.

And the models on Supermodel continue to kick Tyra in the ass. Some of those shots were amazing, although I don't get all the slobbering over Jackie. She's cute, but she doesn't blow me away. And I thought the walk was waaaay too much, even for Heatherette. I did thing Ronnie was fantastic. I liked stiff little Ben, too, and was sad to see him in the bottom three. He's a married, good ole boy, prison guard in gold lame pants with a gay man crush, for heaven's sake! I think he's doing fabulous to be such a fish out of water. I would've left Jay in the bottom three instead. He's sweet as candy, but he will never be a supermodel. I wish the show would cut out the measurements. It is disturbing. Congratulating Holly on losing half an inch when she is already bean pole skinny? Not ok.

The Chris/Chris dress was AMAZING, but I didn't like their RTW look at all. It was frumpy.

Christian with his 2-ruffles-down-the-front-of-everything thing isn't quite Angela's granny circles, but it's close. He needs to watch that.

And, of course, OMGWTFNEEDCOAT!!!! I thought everything the model was wearing under the coat was very silly looking, and not in a fashion-forward avant-garde way. And again with the ruffly shirt! Please tell me that's not a look I'm going to start seeing on the street. Because, uh, NO. DO NOT WANT.

Dear Christian and Victorya, Boobs are not the enemy. Please to be not flattening them and hiding them under fugly ruffles anymore. Please?

Their RTW dress was cute, but other than the little tartan corner dealie it didn't really have anything to do with their avant-garde look.

And honestly, I loved Rami's dress. It wasn't avant-garde, and he was a total asshole about making it, but I thought it was gorgeous and well-made, and I would wear it. The pants were stupid. Sweet P's dress was the only RTW look up there that didn't look thrown together at the last minute - good for her.
