Fashionably Green

Hola Gasmii!

Well last week we finally lost our poor, dear, sweet Kane. Kayne. K’aine. Whatever, he’s gone for being southern and tacky (with Houndstooth!), and with that, Saint Pancake has lost the last person willing to speak to her on camera. She nearly lost herself, by cutting random holes in her clothes and Emilio the Dead of Mouth won for his androgynous gangster doublemint twins.

Inspiration?

This week we open on a weed patch above a railway yard and even Joshua is wearing long pants which must mean the production crew was forced to warn them about hypodermic needles.

Even the ticks have HIV

Carolyn “NotHeidi” Murphy is there as well wearing something tragic, but at least it’s not a ballgown this time. It’s really more of a Victorian undergarment mated with a 1980s sweater.

Like a dress form with sleeves

Turns out they are on a stretch of the High Line that has been left in it’s natural state. The High Line is a great park, especially if you want to be trapped on a narrow strip of green-space with a million tourists and no escape. Think Central Park meets the Hunger Games. The two schmucks who thought of it join Carolyn to plug the park and provide a plot device to introduce the challenge.

It is, of course, a “green” challenge. The task is to create a red-carpet worthy look from Eco-friendly fabrics and all the designers get to choose from a clump of swatches. DeadMauth is up first because of his win and now it’s time to play Least Popular Designer. My money is always on Saint Pancake. At least, until she goes home, then Ivy should probably watch out.

 Mostly for Althea’s boob sweat

No one actually gets very catty and just basically pass around the swatches in order, leaving boobsweat Althea last. The choices run the gamut of fabrics and patterns/solids. After everyone has their fabric, it’s announced that Diane Von Furstenberg is the guest judge as an avid Eco advocate. I guess those that chose prints are feeling pretty happy now. The designers seem actually star struck so Carolyn tosses in that she would like to wear the winning design on the red carpet to try to get the focus back on her.

The designers hit the workroom to find their fabrics plus a grab bag of odds and ends from previous challenges. It’s somehow gratifying to see adults fight over sequins and feathers, but I’m not seeing anything that would actually enhance a red carpet look. Everyone has an eye on DeadMauth for being the current frontrunner and he is drinking his own Kool Aid happily. I  can only imagine it tastes like moths and asphalt based on the faces he makes.

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.

    1. Why, oh why, does Ivy continue to wear shear chiffon tops? EVERY week?? It drives me bananas!
    2. That green dress Carolyn wore for the runway did absolutely nothing for her boobs. It looked awful.
    3. Poor Ivy. That dress had such potential in the sketch, but a combination of time and fabric quality got in her way. I’m glad she didn’t get sent home. Althea had been middle of the back to bottom 3 too many times while Ivy had been in the top more times than not.
    4.I was irritated with the Spanish bashing of Uli, but they did have a point about her one-way-monkey dresses from her previous season. But she has turned out decidedly NON-monkey dresses so far this season. I didn’t think she was top 3 though. Joshua or Papa should’ve been in the low top 5. I CAN’T WAIT FOR A CHRISTMAS UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS CHALLENGE!!! So excited!

    Can we, once and for all, agree that “green fabric” is not for high fashion?! What a bunch of ugliness!

    I want Eyesac’s shoes! :D

    I can wait for the unconventional challenge. I wish we got more of them.

    Season 11 starts at the end of January. I wonder why they’re not spacing out the seasons more.

    @sag: It does? So soon? With RealHeidi? And Tim? Woo hoo!

    MrsMia I cant believe I’m going to say this, but I actually liked Uli’s dress, ribbons and feathers and sequins and satin and eighties-prom-appeal and all! Then again, I am a child of the eighties (not BORN in the eighties but “came up” in the eighties) and that’s a good excuse, right?

    Ivy damn skippy should have have been Auf…er, awkwardly patted on the back “goodbye”. That dress was pass-the-eye-bleach ugly.

    Poor Althea. Go Aryan and Joshua and since she’s finally more diverse Uli!

    I didn’t really like anything this episode. Actually, Emilioth was probably closest, and what gorgeous skin his model has. I admit the hem was a messth!!!

    I don’t like green either, only the bright green DVF had on, with matchy shoes yet, and i heard emerald is this seasons color, not sure if that means the new grey . . .

    St. P’s was fug to me, hated the fabric, but it’s just not my taste, and what do I know . . .

    Althea was doomed from the fabric pick on, I don’t know what she was thinking . . .

    Who the hell is dressing HeidiBot? Heidi K? With each episode her clothing becomes more and more bizarre and eyesoreish. Either that or she has a blind stylist.

    Anyone notice the Mystic tan line on Weinsteins BabyMamas foot? Really, she can afford better.

    And I’ll miss Althea. I liked her on her season and liked her on this one but I don’t feel she’s winner material. But, she clearly has a succesful if small design business so, you go girl!

    Ivy and the weird sheer tops with a bra and shorts. *sigh* These are all her own creations which explains why they all look 1) alike, 2) really well made and 3) boring. Josh and Casa better step it up or they’ll just keep winning ‘Most Forgettable’.
