Joshua is up first with the judges and they all love what he did. There is a little nitpicking about glamming up the dog more and having a dress instead of a top and skirt but those tiny comments pretty much indicate Joshua is safe if not winning.

Every girl deserves to go to a ball!

DeadMauth is praised for color and concept, but all the judges dislike the execution. As much as I liked the open back, I didn’t notice until Carmen pointed out how badly the back straps fit.

Dark girls make yellow look good

Only Helen Mirren makes wrinkles look good

Uli is praised, but most of the judges dislike the bust embellishment. Carolyn does say it is perfect for a wedding and the model loves it but I fear this is not going to make the win. Totally stupid because this is the best thing up there by far.

It’s hard to follow Coco Chanel’s advice when it requires laser surgery

Aryan is up and his model tries to save him by saying she loves the dress because it makes her feel “hidden” and that’s what she wanted. The judges all babble unintelligible praise about Aryan being her friend and giving her a gorgeous gown. Katie thinks the only improvement would be adding beading to the neck straps. Another improvement? Adding the dress to the garbage. Or just wear the garbage bag instead!

The fauxhawk does not draw my eye away from the boobsack

In their private deliberations they again slam Uli for the beading on her otherwise perfection of a dress. Glad to see nothing’s changed and they can still find reasons to not let Uli win! Let’s transport ourselves to an alternate universe where she didn’t include an embellishment and they all sit around and complain that she needed a little flair. Got it? Yeah.

Georgina starts in on Aryan and I’m thinking maybe they were just being kind to the girl’s face because her and Carolyn admit his looks was terrible. Katie points out that although this woman wanted her breasts hidden, his strapping drew the eye straight to that part of the bedsheet. Hurrah Katie. Carmen hates it too and then Isaac. Has. A. Hissy. Fit. He says he loves the dress and doesn’t want to hear anything irrelevant like that it’s “unflattering” or “tragic” or “butt-ugly”. That is not a designer’s concern in Mizrahi’s opinion. Apparently Georgina’s job as a designer is to make a flattering dress but other people make other dresses. Or something. So I guess Aryan is sleeping with Mizrahi? Or did he get lost in Target recently and fall in love with the home goods aisle?

Georgina is used to bloated blowhards spouting off and wisely claps her mouth shut.

She is not known to turn down a mimosa or a martini and finds the transition between the two a good way to mark the passing of time since she can never remember to wear a watch. Her secret love for reality tv and addiction to Bravo have drawn her like a moth to the glittering snark of TVGasm,  where she finds there are others like her... hopefully also nursing Bloody Marys.

    Oh God, the matching pillowcase line literally made me snort! Only way I could be more embarrassed was if I was wearing the dress A-R designed.

    ” Please lady, you’re very pretty and you are not fat, the Tshirt you wore on the boat was more flattering, burn this dress.” – That’s exactly what Kors would have said! Boy, I’ll miss him!

    I wish they would let Georgina go all out with the snark. Maybe she is going to take over for Kors. I wish she was the host of PRAS too. She can be so nasty and you can hear it bubbling inside her brain but they won’t let her.

    I pray Uli wins. She was robbed her season.

    Great recap!!

    I’ll say it loud and proud, I love Aryan’s designs. I will also say his look this week was a travesty to fashion. As a big boobed girl myself, I can appreciate her wanting to cover it up more than flaunt it. A certain level of boob flaunting is appropriate, but what she was rocking would have been way too much. Also, she said that right now she’s much heavier than she normally is due to an injury, so of course she doesn’t want to celebrate those curves.
    I couldn’t believe they had the balls to say, “for the first time on PR All Stars, we’re keeping everyone!” This is not new. This has been happening since about season 3 or 4. Instead of 3 people in the finale, we get 4.
    I understand your frustration MrsMia, with Uli always being the bridesmaid. She has rocked some amazing designs, that have all been so very different from her previous beach dresses. Maybe the whiteness has been blinding the judges a little too much. We shall see what she presents for her runway show.

    That poor bedsheet draped woman is tugging at the fabric around her boobs in pretty much every shot she’s in the background of.

    I usually like Aryan’s designs too, but Uli has been kicking ass all season. She’s not getting all the wins she deserves.

    I thought the same as you, but then I realized what she was talking about. You’re right about REGULAR Project Runway, but this is All Stars. So in the history (2 WHOLE seasons) of PR All Stars, they’re keeping everyone. How exciting!!

    “Georgina is used to bloated blowhards spouting off and wisely claps her mouth shut.”

    Yes, clapping her mouth shut would generally be the wisest thing to do.
    But I’m sure when it comes to one bloated and spouting blowhard in particular, she’s learned that it’s actually worth her while to keep it wide open.
    This is a lesson that Anthony Ryan will also be learning in due time, if Isaac has his way.
    Oh, and Isaac WILL have his way.
    Clothing lines don’t pay for themselves, after all.

    And sorry about the wizened penis remark…I didn’t know folks would be so disturbed lol.
    If it helps, it probably isn’t wizened.
    HW not that old.
    I’m sure it’s still perfectly normal.

    Okay, I’m done being vulgar and mean to Georgina.
    I really do think she’s quite pretty and nice, and a reasonably good judge.

    Uli’s dress was pretty, but I’m glad that she didn’t win this one.
    Granted the dress was lovely, but it wasn’t really a challenge…she just had to make the same thing she made every day on her season. The one thing she could have done to really customize it for her client (get a purple print) she didn’t do. And I took issue with the black and white, because to me, that’s not the best thing for a wedding….no white for obvious reasons, and I always feel like black is bad luck at a wedding. That dress really should have been in color.

    And I’m irritated at the shenanigans because it’s so insulting to the viewers, but part of me is glad too, because honestly, I didn’t reallyyy want anyone to go home. A-Ryan surely deserved to go for making his girl look like a depressing big top circus tent, but I would have been sad if he had been eliminated, because I am fond of his sassy southern queen personality. His clothes has also been pretty good.
    I really like everyone else left as well, and I think they each bring something cool to the table.

    Maybe the editors are playing with us though…ya’ll remember how Chris got the winner’s edit all season long, only to bomb horrifically and tragically (BUT HILARIOUSLY) at fashion week?
    Maybe that’s what’s gonna happen with A-Ryan.

    I just now got to see this, but this season has me so frustrated I have to get on here to say something. And, because I know my opinions are sooo important to everyone here…

    What the holy hell??? Is it in the judges’ contracts to like Anthony Ryan’s designs??? The dress this week is the moldy cherry on top of a cake made out of knock-offs and fug. His designs have been mediocre copies of the other designers (and his own), at best, and this week he decides a strapless mumu was the only way to hide this poor woman’s massive mammaries? As a booby girl, myself, there’s no better way to display the dramatically dis-proportionally-sized tits than to place tight straps just above and just below them. And nothing says, “Hey! I’ve put on weight and I’m severely uncomfortable with it!” than to put on your old maternity clothes. I would know. I’ve been wearing Motherhood t-shirts and sweatpants lately and “accidentally” broke the bathroom scale.

    @MrsMiaWallace – In my anger, I forgot to also say that this was a badass recap, as always, and I love you if not just for agreeing that the judges have some satanic pact to love Aryan.

    no matter what the producers said or think, Isaac just destroyed any creditability he’s ever had . . . To defend AR on the basis of past work would have been one thing, but that dress was disaster from the get go. Any dress, with a shrug or jacket would have suited her much better , and been just as hiding, even with a little cleavage, which, call me crazy, was needed to help give her shape more shape, and not block it off. Imagine the Uli dress on her, with a jacket . . . anyway ugh! I hope they got the new prosthetic for the winning girl, that would be nice. Her look was definitely the best for the challenge, as it suited her to a T. The Uli dress had a wisp of “wearing someone else’s clothes to it”. Nice and all, and I loved the embellishment, phooey judges!!!, but there was something off.

    Can’t wait for the finale. not. But I do think it was right not to eliminate anyone, as this was not the challenge to determine the top three from . . . a nice challenge, but not a career defining moment.

    I also have no idea what happened to emilioth . . . that seemed easy enough . . . did he need to dart it all over. The first top seemed to have all this extra fabric . . . couldn’t he have added a new back to the front to make it fit . . . esp. since the back was a strap . . . oh well.

    Thanks Mrs. Mia!!!!

    xoxo
