In the 20s broken legs were all the rage

Hola Holiday Gasmii!

Last week on All Stars (still debatable!), we had the unconventional materials challenge and it was Christmas themed! Kind of wondering why they didn’t save that for this week, but I guess Lifetime is an inexact science.

Uli won with a shiny silvery genius concoction and although I am biased towards her, she really, really deserved it! Papa Elsa was sent packing and although he is a sweetheart, he also really, really deserved it. Ivy was in the bottom again and it’s starting to look like Aryan and Uli are the only two with a shot at this thing.

We open with the designers on their patio talking about how close they are getting to the end. Ivy is distraught that Papa is gone, but frankly she needs to focus on staying in herself at this point. The problem with the All Stars season is that no one is a big enough bitch. Even St P has settled down somewhat. The judges also totally let us down in the snark department so these scenes outside of the workroom don’t add anything at all.

At the runway greeting, Carolyn Murphy saunters out in a sheer paneled blouse thing that is just another piece in the continuing puzzle of Who The Fuck Dresses That Woman.

She starts talking about flappers and jazz and how this is a roaring 20s challenge. The designers each pull cards that describe the 1920s setting they are designing for. Lo and behold, there are two of each…

What could this mean?

It’s a head to head challenge! We have pitted Uli against Saint Pancake for an Evening Soiree, Aryan against Ivy for an After Hours Speakeasy, and Joshua versus Dead Mauth for an Afternoon Garden Party! They start sketching and Uli is excited to have a challenge that gives her another excuse to work in feathers and doodads, but St P takes an opportunity to sprinkle on a little but of bitch. Pancake announces to the room that she doesn’t need feathers and gimmicks to make amazing clothes.

“What did bitch say?”

They all go shopping and set up their war zones. Aryan’s tactic is to follow Ivy around and scoff at her trying to keep her design a secret. If he’s trying to ruffle her feathers it is working because she spends the whole time scampering away from him and shooting him angry side-eye. Aryan claims he h as no interest in what she’s making so it all seems a big show to throw Ivy off her game.

    How. Does. Ivy. Stay. In. -How?? On another topic; Gretchen Mol’s smile melts my heart *Love* Anyway, I predict Uli, Aryan with DeadMouth as the wild card for Final 3. Thanks for all the fun MrsMia!

    Thanks for the shout out, MMW. I might have squealed a little when I saw Gretchen Mol because, despite all of Gillian’s monstrous behavior she breaks my heart on BE.

    But I didn’t think St. P’s look was better than Ivy’s. Polterwang (TM Fug Girls, I’m not that sartorially clever) should be instant elimination. Plus, she has managed to make a very thin, very tall, very leggy and very young model look short, fat and saggy. Ivy’s dull but at least her model always looks young and willowy.

    And I call BS of Aryan’s win. If his dress was any fabric but that shiny shiny fabric his outfit would have been a sack with feathery shoulders. Uli’s had thought and even with all the froufrou looked young and light. But she’s in the finale (not a spoiler) so I’m not too mad.

    A reason i think the they kicked Pancake off was because they have three designers left from season 9 which is widely known as the worst season in Project Runway’s history. The overpraising of Anthony Ryan is ridiculous he is always in the top even teacher’s pets like Anya and Mondo from the previous all star season where in the bottom atleast once. I would not mind if he is great but he is not and liked Flipit said is his video reacap he stole the shrug idea from Uli.

    When I saw that feather shrug, I didn’t so much think “Nevermore,” as “Wez, Warrior of the Wasteland.”

    Re your reference to Roots. Coincidentally (or not), it’s been airing on BET lately. My husband actually sat through the entire 10 hours on Saturday… even though we were on vacation in another state!

    Re the show, I enjoyed Anthony Ryan’s dress a lot. When I get thin enough to wear something like that, I’d wear it.

    I like Uli as much as the next person, but she has made the same damn dress three times already! This week’s looked just like the damn white one whe won for the first time and there has been ANOTHER white dress just like between these two!

    I do, however, have to say the caption “Quote the raven: Haaaaaay!” made me laugh outloud…

    Flipit, will you internet mary me and be my internet husband? You’ll get Tim as your internet brother-in-law. kisskiss

    As to Pancake and her roots, girl, if she’s half as rich as she claims, she would get her color done by a professional colorist. Hers clearly comes from a box on a shelf at Wal-Mart. It’s just nasty, totally one unnatural color all over and not even well cut. I’m not rich and I know enough to never color my own hair.

    I pegged Uli for this win and am not sure I understand what has happened in the cosmos that has allowed Jersey Chore and Hivy to STILL be on this show. If I have to see one more peek-a-boo shorts set or tank covered in muscle beach boys, I’ll, well, I don’t know what I’ll do. But it will be tragic.
