Project Runway: Jackie O And Camel Toe


By Flipit | | 4:01 am | 42 Comments

Previously, Passanova got shipped off to Puerto Rico in a blow up raft and I cried in Spanish. We open today with Zombie Hivy trying to apply eyeliner to the twitchy eye.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 12.46.03 Pm-2
You’re gonna poke your eye out, Zombie!

The Project Runway Ambulance Corps is waiting outside already. This bitch died week two from drinking too many Diet Cokes on an empty stomach. She’s a fragile zombie. The editors have an obsession with dangerous eye tricks today, cuz the next shot is of Michaelths adjusting his own cornea with a pair of tweezers.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 12.51.56 Pm
For goodness sakes, Michaelths! If you don’t like the man in the mirror, start asking him to change his ways. Don’t mutilate his eyes.

Men, tweezers are good. But they require some MODERATION. Take out a couple hairs and then BACK AWAY.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 12.54.08 Pm
Congratulations. You’re now officially an albino.

Christopher watches Michaelths pluck for awhile and comments on how much quieter it is in their room. Yeah, cuz…you never talk. Like, ever. Unless it’s to agree with Wretch about something and she’s not here. Michaelth answers in a high nasally throat scratchy train derailing at high speed crack: “Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh?” EW. Shhhh.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 12.56.19 Pm
I liked when it was quiet.

They’re already feeling the pain of Passy’s aufing. He took all the mushmouthed English sacrificing charm out of the place.

Voy a hacer ropa vieja puta señora y yo nos grosero hacerlo perra vieja arrugada de naranja!

Over in the other apartment, Chunky Mike is confessing to Trandy about getting snapped at by Heidi on the runway last week cuz he kept rolling his eyes at Hivy during her grilling. What is Trandy, your mom? Stop explaining your feelings, Chunk. Unless you’re crying. I love when you cry. Please cry. Trandy tries to make him cry by forcing him to stare at his belly button.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.02.29 Pm
You wanna cry now?
No. I’m not gonna cry.
Cry. Look at ma belleh! CRY!
Are you a boy?

Other Asian (Really Guatemalan) Valerie teases Hivy about being so nonchalant on the runway while the judges called her a waste of dead space. Hivy laughs crazily. This could be because she isn’t hearing the words “waste of dead space” or it could be because she just caught a rat in the bathroom and nothing makes Hivy happier than snack time.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 1.08.32 Pm

Hivy says she’s been told many times that she has no talent but she’s not gonna listen cuz she’s a strong woman! Honey, the people who kept telling you that weren’t being mean. They were giving you advice.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 1.11.58 Pm-1
Don’t quit your day job. (air hug)

People have told her she’s not talented and has no chance, but if she had listened to them then she wouldn’t be here… being told she’s not talented and has no chance. It’s fate!

Chunky Mike has won a couple of challenges, so now he’s super smarmy and snarky instead of victimy and weepy. So does that mean you’re not gonna cry?

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 1.15.46 Pm
Not gonna cry.

He points out that opaque isn’t a color, but if it was a color it would be called Hivy. Or OPAQUE. Chunk is trying on a few different personalities this season. Each one of them is obnoxious. Try on SILENT for a change. Or cry. Please cry.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 1.22.42 Pm
Nope. Not going to. I’m smarmy now.

Speaking of opaque: guys, something is wrong with Wretch. She’s the exact same color of the walls head to toe. If it weren’t for her red hair I would just think that wall needed retexturing. Or knocking out.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 1.23.50 Pm
I’m sorry. This whole building will need to be demolished.

Fat Bitch Heidi meets the designers on the runway wearing a simple black cocktail dress with not so subtle hip camouflage.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.09.54 Pm
Thank you for hiding those monstrosities from us, Heifer. TV is for thin people.

Chunk is doing his dreamy I love you smile while Fat Bitch stutters. She’s literally his angel, saving his ass week after week.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.09.44 Pm
Touched by a Fat Bitch

With her haircut, Heidi is saying that she’s uncomfortable with their relationship.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 2.10.52 Pm
Woah! Let’s just take things One Day at a Time.

 

Today’s challenge will be looking at the past to secure their future. Heidi’s like a fat little fortune cookie, ain’t she?

The whole concept of stepping back in time has Wretchen perplexed and intrigued. If you could take back even a second ago, say, you would have been able to tell yourself not to make this face.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 2.17.20 Pm

She doesn’t want to be forced to make a corset. I don’t want to be forced into having flashbacks of a surly ass Denny’s waitress I had the displeasure of getting yelled at by once. Wanting doesn’t equal getting.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 2.18.52 Pm
You said no bacon.

Tim meets the kids over at Capsule Studio, where photos of Jackie O are waiting for them! They will be assigned models that have been cheated on and publicly humiliated and the goal is to get them to be so classy that their second husband is even richer than the first. I don’t know of a woman who’s ever been treated shittier looking more golden.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.13.23 Pm
Real love is for the birds. Real Chanel is the blood of life.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.14.22 Pm
I wish GayJ was here. He’d put his girl in jogging pants with pompoms glued onto them.

Other Asian Guatemalan Valerie looks shellshocked at this idea, as if she doesn’t do sportswear every single challenge. Even her formals have sports bra straps on the back. Quit your whining OAGV! Oh, and Hivy is SO making these exact pants.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.16.37 Pm

They get a hundred and fifty bucks and one day. Christopher says he loves sportswear and that’s what he always does anyway so this should be cake. I don’t have much to say about him. He’s not really on my radar yet. His hair is, though. Is that that spray hair they sell on infomercials? I want some of that.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.30.22 Pm

I’m all for trannies expressing themselves in whatever way they want as long as it’s not showing me their inside out penises. But Posh might be offended that her hair has made it all the way to Santa Monica Blvd on the late Saturday night scene.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.31.13 Pm
tranny spice

He’s planning on sending Jackie O’s spirit to sportswear war.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.33.10 Pm
Just because you could step on a land mine any minute doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look adorable.

 

He’s all about making a statement. And his statement is “duck, bitch! INCOMING!” At mood, Mondo lets the fabrics speak to him. How bout listening to the fabrics on your own body? They’re begging to be put onto a thirteen year old girl so they’re not embarrassed to be worn in public any more. Please listen.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.37.37 Pm

Tim advises Wretchen to be a leader, which is hilarious considering that’s why he ripped her a third vagina a couple of weeks ago.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.39.18 Pm
Lead, manipulate and bully yourself to greatness, mkaaaay?

Hivy is totes lost, but thinks she’ll do something with white and black. Waiters need sportswear too. Just sew your drawstring pants and stfu. Michaelths is worried he made the wrong purchases, but his feelings are downright hurt when he gets to the cash register to check out.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.42.42 Pm
Sir, are you allergic to the sun? That must be hard. Why are you crying?

Chunky Mike tries to make friends in the sewing room by dressing like Jackie O. Unfortunately, he looks more like a woman that is about to get stoned to death for accidentally showing her ankle in public, which turns the whole moment into a downer.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.46.27 Pm

Mondo is confused, so he goes to Wretch for help. She gives him her best disappointed looks, but he’s still not inspired. I don’t know that there’s much that can be done to help whatever the hell fabric he brought back from mood. Unless his model is Qbert.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.55.46 Pm

Wretch tells us that she’s a worried for Mond cuz his fabrics suck butt and she really wants him to hit the nail on the head. I want him to hit you in the head with a nail. But he would have to use a hammer first, and that’s an entirely different show.

Screen Shot 2010-09-16 At 11.59.10 Pm

Other Asian Guatemalan tells us how hilarious Michaelths is in the workroom, but all I hear are esses being hit on the head with a wet sock. Montage of him being not funny. He’s a hissing albino, so that’s at least different. He yammerths on about how he doesn’t do sportswear. The passing of Passy means more time with the people we didn’t care about before. Like this guy. I am hoping he’s being featured so much cuz he’s getting sent home today. Every time he talkth I wanna put a cork in my mouth and do my diction exercises.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.04.57 Am
Shhhhths

Wretchen’s doing her round of Tim Cunnt advice scenes, telling everyone how to be better. If she was a real friend, she would light a match, hand it to Valerie, and walk away.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.07.05 Am
Girl, Jackie O wouldn’t roll around her grave in that.

Valerie worries that her look is gonna be too edgy. Zebra print isn’t edgy. It’s over. Even zebras are embarrassed to be wearing that shit. She calls herself the Susan Lucci of the show cuz she’s been nominated a lot and won. Well, you’ve certainly got about as much ability as she does.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.10.19 Am
Anyone have a pashmina I can borrow?

Montage of Other Asian asking everyone within earshot what she should do. Don’t suck. You’re welcome. Chunk is working on some serious fug. He asks if it’s too “flight attendance”. I don’t know what that means. But is it hideous? Yes. Yes it is.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.15.24 Am
Now cry.

Trandy says that he feels bad that Chunk is making something so terrible but he won’t help him. He’s making cargo shorts from Old Navy, so his opinion probably doesn’t really count all that much. Tim comes in to check on progress. Sorry, Tim! Wretch Cunnt was already here. Go ahead and get your assless chaps on and head on over to happy hour. Just be sure to be back by “get your models to the White Rain hair and makeup room” line, k? Have fun and don’t forget to wrap it.

He starts with Christopher, who is making a dress for Jackie O if she decided not to shave under one armpit for a few years.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.23.11 Am

Tim’s worried about the strap. I’m still pondering spray hair. April says his dress looks like her grandma’s clothes. LOL. A slutty grandma. I hope somewhere Passanova wrote that down so he can remember to ask April for her grandma’s number. Lose a show/gain a client.

Other Asian Valerie is planning on making kinda leggings. Tim calls the idea vulgar. Which I think he likes because he’s awkwardly touching himself while he says it.

Timjerk

Then he throws his hand in the air like he’s high fiving Jackie O’s ghost.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.34.44 Am
AmmIright grrrrl?

Valerie starts peppering him with questions. Should I have back pockets or not? Should I make wider butted pants? Am I Asian or Guatemalan? Tim’s like um….I’m paid to freak you out and leave briskly, not write your magnum opus.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.37.33 Am
Who’s that?

Chunk laughs at his own bad dress, which is ingratiating. And absolutely deserved.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.49.12 Am
I know, right?

Zombie Hivy isn’t up to much and bores Tim quickly. He only has one question for her.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.50.20 Am
The maid hasn’t shown up to clean the greenroom today. Would you happen to know where she…?

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.52.25 Am
Wadn’t me.


Tim seems to like Trandy’s cargo pants, and they are pretty cute. But waaaaay off challenge. Michaelths says Mondo’s dress looks like Jackio on shrooms in the desert. If Valerie were here she would be cracking up at that. But she’s not. Tim stares at all of the patterns Mondo’s using and wearing all together and has to stop production for a minute so he can go and clean up his bloody eyes.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 12.57.44 Am
Get out of there before Hivy smells blood!


Tim approaches Michaelth with his “I just watched that scene where Mo’Nique throws a TV at Precious’ head” face.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.04.43 Am
Tim’s “I just watched that scene where Mo’Nique throws a TV at Precious’ head” face.

The looks is justified. Michaelth is going for that Ye Olde Jackie O Rustic Inn look. Not much is done, but if he’s making a broom skirt he’s out. Christopher, ripping off Michaelths’ own self criticism, thinks it looks too “The Crucible”, and Tim says the skirt is Annie Get Your Gun. Well, Annie Oakley looked good enough to get a man in the end, so that’s probably not the best advice. Michaelth lifts the skirt a bit. Great. Now she looks like a banquet table. Go home.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.11.57 Am

Michaelths tellth Timth that he doesn’t wanna make the model look like she should be carrying a ruler to beat children with. I am dictating exactly what he says because Other Asian Valerie told me he’s hilarious. Tim says, naughtily, “Well that could be the other side of it.” Tim? Is one sick slut.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.14.57 Am
This just got creepy.

Fitting time!

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.16.05 Am
The losing model should have to wear the losing outfit on the plane ride home.


Mondo’s model calls the herringbone very First Lady and Mondo corrects her. First Tranny. LOL. Oh no you guys. Look at what Other Asian Valerie’s doing! HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.19.59 Am

April says Trandy’s look is busted and there is no way Jackie O would be caught dead in that crap. Especially with the hungry butt part.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.23.31 Am
Jackie Ho

Other Aisan Valerie takes some time out from sucking to call Chunk’s dresses a Donna Karan rip, and Wretch makes fun of Michaelths wheat harvesty prairie home sex shop dress. HA. At least she does it to his face. Hivy? Not so much. Wretch tells us Hive is a good tailor but her design skills are butt. It’s ok, not everyone needs to be good. She says it like she’s handing out a well thought out compliment.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.28.04 Am
See? I’m totally nice!

At home the girls talk about Trandy’s wack pants. April says “they’re more Jackie Yo than Jackie O.” LOL dork. Over in the other apartment, Chunk is assuring Trandy that if Jackie O were alive today, she’d be wearing pants like that. Only because she’d have lost her fortune, like the rest of the country. Jackie O’s double recession pants. Sad horns.

Christopher makes a tranny joke about Mondo’s dress. Christopher just repeats everyone else’s jokes. Tim comes to the workroom and tells the designers that today isn’t a runway day. They have to create an additional item! Outerwear! Michaelth has been out since he was a toddler so he figures this should be easy. Other Asian Valerie isn’t happy and tells Tim that she already made a jacket and having another one over it would be very very bad. He takes a moment and says “I agree. I was surprised you made a jacket.” Snapple: Tim Gunn Is Over Other Asian Guatemalan Flavor.

Hivy is excited because she knows outerwear. Uhhuh. Get on that. May I suggest beige? Other Asian is thinking she’ll scrap her work and start over. She opts for a vest instead. April threatens to make a fanny pack. LOL. Back to mood!

Chunk comes across a fabric and Wretch walks right up and says that that was hers. WOW. He doesn’t fight her over it, because he likes to rise above stuff like that. In Texas we call that being a PUSSY. Hit her! Pull her hair! Stomp on her feet! Christopher is sad that for the first time he’ll be using animal fur. Then the editors cut to a memorial clip of the dog Hivy ate last week as a mid afternoon snack.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.46.56 Am

The designers get back to work. A lot of sewing happens. Wretch says that if Hivy is in a consistent mood then she’ll be in the bottom. She’s an asshole, but she’s right a lot. Mondo is making a cape and thinks he looks like Harry Potter in it. If Harry Potter was played by a thirteen year old girl. Wretch complains that Chunk has nothing until Tim gives him ideas. He knows that people are talking about he can be so lame and win twice in a row. He doesn’t get it either, but he’ll ride it til Heidi gets a restraining order on him.

Tim comes in to check on progress. He’s worried Other Asian Valerie won’t have time to finish, and he is still not sold on Michaelths’ skirt. Michaelth does the three faces of Tim for us, and his attempts at being a wacky queen are really wearing thin. I prefer hissing and crying. Trandy is next, and Tim says that the look is very Trandy. No word on whether that is good or bad, but Trandy is wearing a ballet unitard, a scarf, and troll doll hair so you decide. He’s worried about the crotch on the pants. “Jackie Kennedy would not have camel toe.” LOLOLOLOLOLLLLL.

Chunk tells Tim that he made three jackets and Tim gives him credit for the sheer volume of suck he’s able to pump out in a day. Tim thinks Christopher’s look is for a eunuch. HA. The next morning, everyone talks about each other. We’ve already done all of this. But wait. We haven’t done this.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 1.59.12 Am
Life is a cabargay old chum

He looks like Eddie Munster dressed as Adam Lambert for Halloween. The boys talk about how fabulous Mondo looks and I wonder how the poor kid doesn’t have any bruises. Admit it. If you saw Mondo on the street that day, you’d push him. I just threw an M&M at the TV. Mondo says the outfit was inspired by The Cotton Club. I wish one of the guys was inspired by the Breakfast Club so they could tell Mondo that Mondo is a fat girl’s name.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.04.26 Am

Michaelth asks him to tap dance and he does it. HAHAH is he wearing tap shoes? I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW. At the workroom, it’s time for last minute alterations and fittings. Other Asian and Wretch talk about how the judges won’t be calling Chunk out on being a plagiarist because they haven’t yet and he’s ripped off every design. Is that true? I don’t know. But I do know that if he did rip off today’s design, he ripped off a super tacky designer.

Trandy has made his camel toe into a vagina canyon. Time for makeup and hair! YAY! FF. Ten minutes to runway, Mondo breaks a zipper. He starts yammering about something and I realize that I bought my four year old niece that hoodie last year!

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.15.13 Am
She looks manlier in it.

Michaelths only has two minutes left and he’s still on the sewing machine. You guys wanna take a couple minutes to find out what Wretchen thinks about everyone’s designs? Me neither. Let’s just pretend it’s not happening. What do you think of Kate Gosselin’s new body? Runway time! Fat Bitch comes out in leggings. I hope that Tim didn’t rub himself and call her vulgar when he saw her today. That would have been uncomfortable.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.19.06 Am
Oh yeah, that’s vulgar. Yeah omg hold it right there….vuuuuulllllgaaar. Ahh. Good seeing you today, Heidi. You look lovely. (adjusts nuts)

Let’s say hi to the judges! Hi Kors!

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.22.32 Am

Hi Nina!

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.23.15 Am

Hi guest judge Betty Draper!! With punk bitch eyeliner!

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.23.54 Am
Bad mothering has never been so stunning.

Christopher is first. He’s gonna get points off for basically tossing a throw blanket onto his model as his outerwear piece, but I actually really like his silver dress. If April’s slutty grandmother really does dress like this, then she probably gets banged a lot.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.27.30 Am

Aprl turned Jackie O into a beer swillin biker chick. I don’t get it, but I like skinny girls with hairy shoulders so thumbs up.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.28.17 Am

I don’t think Nina likes it. You can tell cuz her throats inflating like she’s about to catch a fly.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.30.14 Am

Hivy made some lame ass sailor pants and a simple white blouse with a see through doctor’s jacket. Damn she is terrible. I told you she was gonna make those pants!

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.32.05 Am

Luckily for her, she’s followed by Chunk. The judges probably all just forgave her blandness in a second. Pigeon toed secretary in her “it’s chilly in here all the time!” sweater.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.33.48 Am

And now a cocktail dress? No. Just no.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.34.59 Am
Only assholes wear sunglasses on their heads to a cocktail party. You’re out.

 

Wretch did another loose flowy hippie with a job dress. Blech.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.37.24 Am

Michaelths has made a rebellious teen chimney sweep dress handed down by a much fatter sister.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.38.29 Am

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.39.30 Am

Other Asian Valerie’s vest jacket thing is ok, but the skirt is just wrong and we never see the blouse. Did she stick with a jacket blouse?

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.40.34 Am

Trandy’s pants are pretty good looking, but I don’t know where the Jackie O is here. This girl could go hunting, river walking and bag piping without having to change once. Love the little sweater vest. Almost as much as I loved it in the J Crew catalogue like five years ago.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.42.31 Am

The crotch is somewhat better, but the butt is still a disaster. Mondo got the shape right, but the patterns are debilitating.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.45.17 Am

Chunk, April, and Wretchen are safe. I can’t decide whether to make fun of Wretch’s boobless bustier or Trandy’s Trump combover in this next one, so I’ll just let you see them both.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 2.47.45 Am

Wretch is completely dumbfounded that she didn’t win, and in the holding tank she ponders the possible reasons. Chunk can’t believe he’s not in the bottom, and April and Wretch just nod like they totally know what he means. Then Chunk launches into a big song and dance about how Wretch should have won because Jackie O would totally wear her outfit, but when he’s alone with the camera he says he was just lying and her pieces were bunk. He brags about what a pussy he is, which is just astounding. HIT HER!

Heidi calls Valerie out on putting a jacket over a jacket. She makes her take off the vest and LOL it is another jacket! Goodness. Kors says it’s a non design and sucky. He’s offended by the dress. Betty Draper hates the ankle boots. The judges don’t have one nice thing to say to her. Betty Draper looks like one mean bitch.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 3.03.21 Am
Here’s a plastic bag from the dry cleaners. You and your brother go play.

Christopher is next. His is Betty D’s favorite. Kors calls it elegant and sexy but isn’t liking the wrap with it. Nina likes it better without the shrug too. Heidi says it looks like a dirty old rug. LOL Fat Bitch. Michaelths’ work is called cheerleading ice scater schizo Jackie O from a mall. Kors goes on and on and ends by calling the whole thing insulting. Dang! These judges are super nasty today. It’s like they’re apologizing for Passy. The other judges jump on the bandwagon and kick him while he squeaks on the floor in the fetal position.

Heidi gives Mondo shit for his circus midget attire and says even though his work is nuts, it did follow the challenge and looks complete. Nina calls it fun and elegant sheik, and Betty Draper is just amused by his utter tininess. Kors calls Hivy’s work elegant and likes her tailored jacket. It looks cheeeap. Heidi thinks there are too many crazy lines on the front. She and Betty both love it without the coat.

Heidi says that Trandy sending this outfit out on a Jackie O challenge is hilarious. Then she laughs laugh and makes fun of him for awhile while his world crushes down before his eyes. Heidi yells about the butt crack munchies and she’s really mad. Trandy scrambles to come up with a speech because he totally wasn’t prepared for this. He says that he’s not a sportswear designer and Kors snarks “what are you a grand couturier or something? Come ON!” Wow. He hates Trandy so much right now that his face is actually moving.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 3.13.01 Am
Well, parts of it. Ok just the jowls but still, he’s mad.

Kors calls it MC Hammer meets Beverly Hillbillies grandma. Trandy is gonna break down, and Betty Draper is loving every second of it. Nina says it’s just a trainwreck, and Kors goes off again. Trandy argues “I tried to take a risk” and Kors snaps “well you did” and rolls his eyes. Damn. That was the harshest those judges have been in years. They were nicer to the guy who sent out a lab coat with rubber dishwashing gloves. The designers sit in the holding tank and lick their wounds while the judges take a break to bow down to Satan.

In private time, the judges mostly repeat themselves while Betty Draper looks pretty. Kors says that Trandy put his model in Nicole Kidman’s boots from Cold Mountain. LOL. Betty adds “and it’s her hair from Far and Away.” Ouch. A Far and Away reference? Auto out.

Nina says that Valerie’s terrible and boring and at least Trandy’s interesting. Michaelths doesn’t come off any better. Nina said it looked poor and sad. A horrible combination. They liked Christopher but seem bored with him and hated the shrug. Kors says it looks like a toilet bowl cover. Teehee. Mondo was original and still delivered a Jackie O look. Heidi liked Hivy’s but thinks it’s a little old lady. Kors disagrees, which explains a lot about his line. Nina says that it’s the most polished Hivy look of all time who usually sucks bawls. She brings up her first terrible outfit and says she’ll never forget it. HAHAHAH.

Mondo wins!!! And he is the clear winner! Atta girl! Christopher and Hivy, of course, are safe. Trandy’s in! It’s down to Other Asian Guatemalan Valerie and Michaelth. Backstage, Trandy tries not to cry and stands up for his hungry ass pants. On the runway, Heidi disses Michaelth and Valerie more and then she kicks off….Michaelths! !!!!! YES!!! He gives God a seriously dirty look.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 3.26.41 Am
He’s gonna go home, squeal out some tears, and then spend the next week angrily plucking every bit of hair off his body.

 

He tells Tim that he is totally fine for not taking his advice about the horrid skirt. Apparently you’re not, but whatever. Bye, Squeak! Tim had a little air taken out of his tires with that but he does a nice I told you so anyway. Michaelths keeps arguing and says that he stood by what he believed. Tim coos “yes you did. And it was your Waterloo.” HAHAH! LOVE TIM. Michaelths whimpers that he has to go look that up now. Headslap. You know who else I love? The editors.

Screen Shot 2010-09-17 At 3.30.40 Am
I’ll say.

On his way out, he keeps sticking up for what he did and tries not to cry. As he leaves the studio, Hivy follows him with a knife and a fork. She’s really getting some manners as she gets comfortable in her dead skin.

    I really liked Mondo’s creation…especially that he completed the jacket with lining that matched the skirt. Nothing else on the runway even came close to hinting at what the inspiration was supposed to be.

    Why was Ivy in the “best group” when her model’s pants were 4 inches too long?

    Has anyone noticed that Andy’s sketch looks like he draws his clothes over a penis?

    I so happy for Mondo’s success. He has really blossomed and become more extroverted since week one. But, I’m afraid he may be mutating into Astro Boy.

    “Nina calls it fun and elegant sheik”

    Now THAT’s a design I would love to see LOL

    Also…LOVED the editors explaining Waterloo for people who don’t, ya know, READ…or listen in their junior high school history class.

    Mondo, Mondo, Mondo…what are we going to do with you? I applaud him for his creative personal expression, but that little circus outfit (Cotton Club? No…definitely circus) with the heavy eyeliner was just disturbing!!! I’m glad he won, though. He really has convictions behind his pieces, and seems to actually ENJOY designing.

    Wretchen is still a cocky bitch…and I loved the look of utter confusion when she had to sit in the holding tank with Michael C. That’s like, “OMG, they think I’m in the same category as Michael C???” Karma, baby. And please, for all that is holy…stop wearing those bustiers!! They do nothing for her, especially since they are so low and poorly fitted.

    I think is was appropriate that Michael D’s Salem Witch Trial skirt sent him home, although Valerie’s outfit was just plain forgettable. I give her credit for some of her earlier dresses, though.

    And I miss Passy.

    Oh, Flipit, I have to say, you manage to make me crack up every week. Thanks!

    @Gerrit Verstoep – The Astroboy reference was hilariously on point. My first thought on seeing that outfit was ‘Wow. Poor Pinocchio. He became a real boy and then had to start hooking.’

    And yea, somebody has been feeding the judges red meat because that was -brutal-.

    Pinocchio!! YES!!! You hit the nail right on the head (to use a PR favorite expression).

    Actually, for all the designers’ yammering that they are so fashion-forward, the only one who even comes close to taking chances and making bold statements is Mondo. Last season, Seth Aaron took that position, and he won.

    Flipit! As always you are better then the show. Thanks for the fast turnover.

    So, is it me or do the designers really suck this season. They are all just super bitchy. The really confuckedup moment was when Wretch is dissing on everyone but she has a braid going across her head and bangs… I mean, how can she speak like she knows anything when it looks like she was just released from a Quaker insane asylum?

    I loved Mondo’s, he desreved to win. And I totally thought Trandy was gonna cry on stage. Maybe he needs to go vacation in Vagina Canyon… ewwwwwwww

    I am laughing so hard at “Great. Now she looks like a banquet table” also loved “he looks like Eddie Munster dressed as Adam Lambert for Halloween”. But C in Chicago reference was the topper!

    Anyone notice how uncomfortable Tranny looks when Chunky tries to talk to him in their room? Tranny looks like he’s rather be anywhere else than listening to the two sides of Chunky’s mouth.

    I am loving April, she is very laid back but can talk shit when necessary. She is also very supportive to other designers, and unike Wretch manages to do it without sounding like a school teacher of slow learners.

    I agree that Mondo’s look deserved the win. There was an essence of Jackie O’s style buried in the cacophony of patterns. The jacket really made the look – without it I’m not sure he would be the top (ok, I dobut he’s ever a top, but I digress).

    Michaelth, Tranny and Valerie really missed the mark in creating a Jackie O iconic style. I can’t believe the fabric choice of Michaelth, it looked like industrial canvas. Poor color choice. I thought Tranny’s look was interesting, but not right for this challenge.

    I can’t wait for a really specific challenge (like a wedding dress) to see if Wretch sends out a billowy J. Jill knockoff. And Chunky needs to either speak his mind to peoples faces, or stfu.

    Love you Flipit – you are amazing!

    Okay, so NOW we know that January’s expressionless face isn’t just an affectation she uses as character development for Betty Draper.

    I loved Mondo’s so much! I would wear that in a flying second. I hate to say it, but I kind of liked Ivy’s as well–I’d also wear that.

    As for the losing look, well…I did wear that–back in the 80′s, only it was black on black on black. Same style shirt, skirt, and little bolero jacket. I got lots of compliments from homeless men living in the French Quarter of New Orleans and I was just drunk enough to believe them. They were just drunk enough to believe themselves and that I would give them some money, which I did.

    If I had Heidi’s money, my hair wouldn’t look like that.

    Where does Gretchen get off giving everyone else advice on their designs – and thinking hers don’t suck when she sends down Star Wars costumes each week? Other than the first two episode (and how did she win with that ugly jumpsuit?) she has been middle of the road in judging.

    I kind of liked Valerie’s outfit – at least it looked like actual clothes. The other two bottom outfits looked like something you would find in a rag bin.

    @lestermaddox, I think it’s interesting that the editors this year seem to be making things a bit more personal. Like showing Gretchen giving everybody her critiques and showing many, many clips of her opining about how bad everybody’s designs are and then showing her end up in the middle or bottom of the pack.

    Also, ‘pop-up video’ style captions to translate Tim for the vocabular
    y impaired is pretty damned funny.

    My tivo didn’t automatically pick up this episode, so I missed Wretch going around critiquing everyone. Tivo loves me.

    Too bad I had to see her all dolled up like one of those little old-fashioned, dancing Bavarian women figurines that come out of the clocks along with the old-fashioned, Bavarian man figurine. Did anyone else do a double-take during that interview shot of her wearing those braids on top of her head with those really rosy cheeks?

    I felt kinda bad for Valerie and wondered why Tim was “surprised” that she’d already made a jacket. Is making a jacket for a Jackie O sportswear challenge a big fashion don’t? And, since Valerie wasn’t allowed to use the first jacket as the outerwear piece, was she supposed to make a different top?

    I’m so relieved to finally be liking Mondo so I get to root for somebody with talent. I also like April, but damn, was she a swimmer in high school? That neck and those lats are something to behold!

    I officially loathe and despise Gretchen. They very sight of her face and sound of her voice makes me want to throw things at the screen. Why does she think it’s her job to critique everyone else just because she won, like, 5 episodes ago? And I hate all of her looks. Whomever said they looked Star Wars described it perfectly. Sportswear is supposed to be clean-cut (think older Hampton’s socialites) and she does a drab drapy thing? Ugh. Get over yourself!

    I nearly died when Heidi described Ivy’s outfit as having a “boob circle”. Hilarity! I think it’s kinda funny when the judges go for the jugular, cause the designers faces look like they’re ready to DIE. I mean, what can you really say when someone is totally trashing something you worked so hard on?

    @Sevenfourteen, Yea, this season’s designers are on a whole new level of gay. To impose a scale on things, we should use Chris Colfer’s character on Glee as a baseline for gay. Most gay guys I know (including myself) would rate from .35 to .70 KH (Kurt Hummels). The male PR cast has ranged from 10 KH to approximately 1 MHK (the power of a million flaming Kurts).

    Right, I know nothing about fashion, but isn’t Mondo’s whole schtick all about forcing together a bunch of really loud fabric patterns so they end up looking just as ridiculous as he does?

    Seems to me that has been done a few times before — it was a big rage back in the early punk days.

    Also, Wretchen looks like Woody in Toy Story. And now we have Mondo Astroboy. If the PR producers were smart, they’d launch a Happy Meal deal with McDonalds. At least for the McDonalds branches in gay neighborhoods.

    Okay, I just finished watching the ep and have to dish before I read the ‘cap or the comments. I’d wait but THC does a number on the short-term memory.

    Gretchen..you suck. Jackie O is noone’s dirty hippie.

    Micheal C was so damn likable. While not reminiscent of J.K., his model would’ve been the fashion icon of Salem. Counts for something, right?

    Mondo looked like Alfafa and Eddie Munster’s love child.

    Hivy: “Shapes are timeless.” Last I heard, squares are out and it’s all about the rhombus.

    Heidi: “patterins”..lol (a smatterin’ of patterins)

    Trandy: I just wanted to hand his model a set of glowsticks.

    January Jones was the most useless judge ever. Obviously just there for start appeal but proving that she is only able to deliver lines when they are fed to her.

    The outerwear twist was ridulous because it should have been introduced the first time around so the looks could be planned with a jacket in mind. The judges kept asking them to remove the outerwear because even they knew how much it warped the designs.

    Was Waterloo the battle Napolean lost? I’m too lazy to google. However, I will add this to my vocabulary, starting….now.

    Thank you sarcasatire, I thought the same thing: “He looks like Alfalfa.” WTF? and you are 100% correct about the outerwear being a stupid twist.

    Jackie-O with Camel Toe. sheeeezus

    I suppose I have noticed it before, but this week, Valerie talks FAST. ShetalksfastanddoesntsaymuchmostofthetimeknowwhatImean? Then sometimes she tacks on a valley girl affectation at the end of her phrases and I’m confused. Is this 1982?

    I don’t know. I didn’t like this episode. They ask for sportswear then whine about the few pieces that (I thought) were sportswear, then don’t call out the cocktail dresses. They say design for Jackie in 2010 then call stuff “too old.” Hello, she’d be 81 right now.

    Loved the recap though, as always!

    Take a look at Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. show at FashionWeek and you’ll see a lot of bright, conflicting patterns worn together. It’s a style that comes back periodically. It’s very “editorial,” which is why the judges like it. (Editorial means non-commercial and no one would ever really wear it.)

    As for what Jackie would wear of these designs, I think she’d wear Mondo’s top and, yes, Hivy’s ensemble w/o the jacket. She might wear a version of the skirt Mondo did, but not as tight and short. It reminds me a little of her White House years.

    It’s so true about very few of these designs being sportswear. That’s one thing Hivy’s had going for it.

    I read that Tim’s vlog has been removed. I think it was on the Lifetime PR site. The challenge was supposed to be to design an outfit for Katie Holmes to wear while playing Jackie. Then that fell through and they redefined the challenge, but everybody was confused as to what they were supposed to do. That is why the judges were so cranky.

    Tim bit the hand that’s been feeding him. And on their website yet. Do ya think Tim is experiencing male menopause? He’s been awfully pissy lately. Maybe he needs to get some. ;)

    He’s planning on sending Jackie O’s spirit to sportswear war.”

    Props!

    I was going to stop watching in protest because Casanova was the only one I really liked. Every woman needs grandma clothes in her closet.

    Especially in light of the Economic Transition. Buy them now when you’re 20 and still living at home, then when you’re 62 you’ll already have a nice outfit to wear to interview for that third food service job you’re hoping will keep you in housing for another month.

    It was on Tim’s Facebook page, not Lifetime. And if anything he’s said is true about this season’s production, and I don’t doubt him, I’d bite that hand, too. Tag team construction? Costume design that turns into sportswear that turns into Jackie Kennedy NOT Onassis?

    Sounds like production has become one big clusterf*** and Tim’s just tired of being their water carrier.

    @giffordsaz: vallegirl is correct, that the vlog is on Tim’s FB page. I’ve never been able to post a link on TVGasm, so best just try to Google it or go to FB and do a search for Tim. I don’t know if any such thing was ever on the Lifetime site since I don’t go there regularly.

    Tim does seem to be rather fierce this year, but I will defend him and say that since he’s likely not lying, the production value must have become a clusterfuck since the show has moved to Lifetime.

    Heh. Great minds, thiajok.

    But the video was taken down from his Facebook page. I wholly support Tim because he was always pretty up front about how and where he disagreed with Magical Elves, too, but it never seemed to reach this pitch. It always seemed to be more of a professional difference in approach and he would have done things differently. Here he seems utterly exasperated by people who are unaware, uninterested or unfamiliar with fashion and are just into creating “reality TV.”

    It’s true that Tim’s Vlog has been removed from his own FB site. I suppose since he actually called producers by name this go-around.

    I hope Heidi doesn’t think the show will appeal to masses without Tim Gunn. I’m not going to keep watching just to see how many kids she and Seale can pop out if Tim’s not there.
