Project Runway All Stars – Fashion Flap

Project Runway

The fact that she is interviewing in the same outfit she wore to the final runway makes me think she is out this episode! Don’t they usually get all the interviews later?

Carolyn enters the runway in a long, glittering, flowing gown. It’s a tad voluminous but I think she looks refreshingly good. She would look great except for her hair. Maybe the L’Oreal team was too busy with the models to get to her.

Roots! It’s not just a movie starring the guy from Reading Rainbow!

Uli and Pancake have dressed for the occasion as well. I never knew how many people were obsessed with the 20s. Then again I love Boardwalk Empire (read Vallegirl’s great recaps of past seasons!) and Downtown Abbey so I may be part of the problem.

Some people in this picture know how to drink like a lady. Some people in this picture look like they’re deep-throating a hoagie.

It turns out all the designers are seated at high tops with their competition, speak-easy style.

If you end up on this blind date, you know your friends hate you

Mommie Dearest and The Littlest Hobo

We are introduced to the usual judges – Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina, Queen of the Damned, and the two guest judges. This week it is Gretchen Mol seemingly because she is on a show that is set in the challenge time period, and Jenny Packham whose intro bio is so long I fell asleep. Apparently off-the-rack Princess Kate Middleton is a fan.

I never realized how much she resembles Kate Hudson

If you really wanted to be a famous designer, you would let a fat American producer sweat all over you

Runway time!

Joshua – His look walks and wears well. It’s pretty but I don’t think it’s very period and it strikes me as way more casual and contemporary.Also the random broach placed on his model’s hip is not working.

Dead Mauth – His dress is very Ladies Who Lunch, but not exactly from the 1920s. I’ve watched enough Downtown Abbey to know neither of these looks would be found on Lady Grantham. Dead Mauth’s is better of the two though.

Uli – She does this genre well and her model looks great. I love the fringe and the lines and the silver shoulder wrap.

Saint Pancake – Her look is basically the same thing she wears herself every week. Wide legged elephant trousers and a vest. I do love her beaded material and the blouse portion looks great, but I’m giving Uli the win.

MrsMiaWallace is an east coast girl with a  penchant for travel, libations and great cuisine. 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.

    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.
