   Yay I’m finally out of the hospital (AGAIN) and so happy to have a PR recap

   Mrs. Mia, I really really really want to say something about Anthony Ryan being set up for the win due to funny business in the episode you haven’t watched yet but you haven’t watched it!! Arg!

   Okay, I’ll try this: MAYBE SORTA NOT NECESSARILY SPOILER ALERT THAT REALLY IS A LITTLE SPOILER BUT NOT TOO BAD!!!

   Okay, after watching the newest episode and seeing the atrocity Anthony Ryan made actually being praised for its fabric, cut, color, fit, etc. (the thing was so unflattering it doesn’t deserve to be called a “dress”, “gown” or even a “garment”).

   He’s one of my FAVorites (shit, they’re all pretty damn cool peeps – well, Emilio is a bit, um, *stoic* for my taste), and I adore him and his work almost always…but no one will ever convince me that there wasn’t some shenanigans afoot. Ever. But at least he’s still in!

   END SORTA NOT REALLY SPOILER…

   Please watch the ep Mrs! You will be perhaps a bit surprised and I’d like to know if you (or any Gasmii) think I’m on to something.

   Three cheers for a NON “clear fluids” diet!

   ^Obviously, they’re setting him up. If it had been anyone else who presented that hideously boobalicious monstrosity, they would have gotten a one-way ticket home.
   Isaac overplayed his hand though…that spontaneous and completely unwarranted jizzfest/tantrum was too ridiculous to be real life.
   Because I like Isaac and I don’t want to believe that he actually thought that dress was cute, I’m hoping this is part of his strategy to bone A-R.
   Get him to the finale, deny him the crown, and then visit his hotel room afterwards to “console” him.

   I have more to say on the matter, but I’ll save it for the actual recap.

   Sometimes, Georgina Chapman annoys me, but then I remember that she loves her clothing line so much that she was willing to lovingly fondle old wrinkly balls every night in order to make it a reality.
   I am thoroughly disgusted by that, and every time she opens her mouth, I imagine an old, wizened penis in there, but at the same time, I have to respect that level of dedication.

   It’s good that Ivy went home.
   All her clothes have been ugly and awkward, and her niceness was starting to give me gas pains.

   Eh, what @chaos? I am not familiar with Georgina’s story, but many thanks for the “wizened penis” visual lol.

   Oh, and I am also going to choose to use your “wants to bone” Anthony Ryan theory. It’s either that or they had to draw straws to decide which one of them had to actually “like” that heinous thing…and Isaac got the short one.

   @AmyOops, sorry about the visual. I didn’t mean to traumatize others, but I also didn’t want to suffer alone.

   Georgina is married to Harvey Weinstein, who partially owns Project Runway. His money and influence are the sole reason why anyone anywhere at any point in time gives a damn about Marchesa and their overpriced, mostly ugly dresses.

   I have to disagree with you about Marchesa. Everytime I write a “Fashiongasm” for a Red Carpet event, a lot of the celebrities are wearing Marchesa. So someone gives a damn….

   Love the recap! I just have this feeling that A-R is the winner and there are 4 designers left. I just don’t see them letting anyone else win… except maybe Uli, but who needs a whole line of white dresses!

   ^ Maybe now they do.

   Harvey Weinstein opened alot of doors for the label to get to that point though.

   He footed the bill and because he’s so well-connected, he was able to get folks to wear her stuff to begin with. I still think many of the folks who wear Marchesa on the red carpet are just trying to get in good with HW, because I am generally not moved by most of the stuff I see coming from Marchesa. Everything is either overwrought or underwhelming or just not done right.

   There’re so many better labels out there that without his investment, I highly doubt Marchesa would be what it is.

   I think Uli’s model is also from ANTM. I think she’s Jennifer An from season 13.

   Yeah, @chaos, uh huh…just couldn’t suffer alone! Sheesh! Lol. Oh, and I’m guessing this Harvey guy isn’t a “young buck”?

   just a question … it seems so simple but has proved impossible for me. The dress worn by Carolyn Murphy in this ep with the industrial-looking strapping needs to be on my body. I’m assuming it’s by Tahari as she was wearing it while introducing him but I can’t find the necessary info to get it, again, on my body. Help me!
