What Jessica Said, times a billion, except that I wasn't clever enough to think of the Jilli PR show, which would be made of awesome nine ways from Sunday.
I'm weirdly obsessed with the whole Chris/Rami competition, and I've been hovering over Project Rungay; it's bizarre how completely polarizing their designs are. It's not just that people preferred one collection over the other, but that most of the Chris-preferrers thought Rami's work was nice but not thrilling, while people who preferred Rami
hated
Chris's stuff with a passion. Dark, creepy, depressing, revolting, ugly, something no sane woman would wear, and anyone who says otherwise is clearly part of the Cult of Chris and in denial about the UGLY.
And several people shrugged dismissively about goth being a bad look, period, the end. Um, which goth do they mean? Industrial/post-apocalyptic? Vampire? Victorian? Steampunk? Edwardian/Edward Gorey/cupcake? "Goth looks bad" is an idiotically sweeping generalization, to be taken about as seriously as saying "Fiction is a lousy literary form."
And don't get me started about how Christian's gorgeous but unwearable-in-the-real-world designs are edgy and creative, Rami's third gown is a fantasy, but Chris's collection is pure costume.
Grrr.
Also: Rami's middle dress looked like crap with the jacket over, and wasn't flattering with the jacket off!
BANANAS.
MMaSM: OMG, LOVED the Ben Sherman clothes so much. Holly was amazing. I wish they'd given the girls some props for doing what the boys did but in those crazy heels. I mean, COME ON!! I'm glad Shannon was safe anyway. "America" clearly wants to M a male SM out of this show. And, really, I do want Ronnie to be that SM but I hope the girls hang on for a while longer.
I love that EW interview with Chris!
CM: I got some of it [the hair] off Christian's head — the one side that's shorter.
EW: No you didn't!
CM: [Laughs]
I can just imagine him cackling on the phone over this! And I loved this about Tim:
EW: In terms of Tim Gunn, what's the best piece of advice he ever gave you?
CM: Tim's best piece of advice to me was the first day, and they didn't show it. He said to me, ''Nobody else in this room is Chris March, and I want to be sure that every time the judges see your stuff, they know that. I want to make sure you look at your pieces and make sure you have this quintessentially Chris March thing about them, because nobody else is you. Nobody else has your humor, nobody else has your sense of beauty.'' I was overwhelmed.
I'm glad Shannon was safe anyway. "America" clearly wants to M a male SM out of this show.
I think it's totally ridic that Frankie and Casey are still around, but the final two should be Perry and Shannon, no matter what, so I don't care so much about the order in which other people go. The female models that have left aren't even as good as Holly, so whatever. But I am inclined to agree that the voters are 13 year old girls who are more into the boys of the show.
Survivor: WTF with that vote out? The fans are leetle crazee, no?
Also, Ozzie continues to be AWESOME.
I'm liking Holly more than Shannon, but she is a bit too emotional and the judges are right to question her ability to tough out a very tough business. I hope the judges continue to keep three guys in the bottom three to whittle out the weaker ones, such as Ben and Casey. I'd hate to see Ben go, but he does have only two major expressions, which I think is Casey's problem, too (Casey has never done anything for me, and I don't know why he's still there, to be honest).
I noticed that the judges didn't do a critique of the voting results after booting off Jackie--I wonder what they would have said?
the final two should be Perry and Shannon, no matter what,
My coworker was just saying she assumes that the final two will be Ronnie and Holly, due to the voters. Of course, that probably means it will be Perry and Ronnie. I don't really care how Casey/Frankie/Ben go, but they should go.
