Project Runway: The Lion, The Witch, and the A Hole from Utah

Project Runway

By Flipit | | 3:08 am | 33 Comments

This week on Project Runway, Carmen still has trouble making friends, Kenley gets her model a boob job, and Keith gets another chance to charm our pants off.

200809102308

Anyone?

OMG you guys guess who’s on the cover of Elle in a denim dress?

Picture 4-76

Bob Weinstein! Thanks, subtitles!

Terri wakes up singing “the witch is dead! The witch is dead!” Hello, that’s not even how the song goes. She tells us that she won’t miss Leatha because it means one less person is in her way of pant suit/clown collar world domination. Ding dong, you’re an asshole.

Pleather wakes up in his room with Blayne staring at him with those bugged out coke addict orbs of his and the second he sees open eyes he asks “WHAT’D YOU DREAM ABOUT?” Pleather says he dreamt that they were gonna have to make Valentine neck lines out of Chiffon and Pop Tarts. He even wakes up desperately struggling to be original and funny. Nothing like bombing first thing in the morning. Even Blayne can’t muster up a giggle for that one. He starts going on about his own dreams involving giant piles of white powder and Phyllis Diller ripping off her own skin and letting him wear it for his birthday.

In CutToe, Kenley and Leanne Squircangle’s room, Squirc comments that theirs is the only room that houses three winners. CutToe and Kenley are like “why is she talking to us?” On the runway, Fat Bitch comes out wearing all black, because, well, she’s a fat bitch. Squircangle gets to keep her hot blonde model or dump her for the funny looking girl with the pony tail on the side of her head like she’s thirteen. Shockingly, Squirc chooses to keep the hot blonde one.

Picture 6-65

Cheer up, kid. You’ll look great in your Hot Dog on a Stick uniform.

The discarded twig starts crying and CutToe looks away like “try running from Africa, brat.” Heidi announces that she has some special guests coming, and it’s the Wiggles! YAY!!!! Kidding, it’s actually much more horrifying than that. It’s aufed contestants! YAY LEATHA! Sorry Terri. I hope one of the camera men tells her about the smack you were talking so we can see her beat your smart ass. Speaking of Terri, she’s pissed off at this development because “when it’s over, it’s over.” HAH please let her get stuck with the guy who made the serial killing nurse outfit from episode one. That dude’s back, as is Wesley (and not in short shorts! WTF?), the pretty girl who’s addicted to head scarves, the “surrealistic Audrey Hepburn” giant gum girl, Daniel (who makes a cute attempt to wink at Kenley),…

Keep practicing

…Kelly One Eye (YAY) and KEITH! He looks thrilled to be here.

Picture 10-39

And the Hobosexual looks thrilled to have him.

Picture 9-44

The challenge will be to team up with a discarded designer and make something avant garde, which pleases Hobosexi because “I can pull something avant garde out my ass”. He can also pull out half eaten Twizzlers, bottle caps, and gum from kindergarten, but hopefully he’ll resist the urge to share and just use his partner. I think I can speak for most of us when I say I’m sick of Jerell pulling stuff out of his ass and making it walk down the runway.

Kenley looks like she is gonna start crying again because when she’s at KMart she’s allowed to work alone, but tough titties, Blue Light. Tim welcomes everyone to the workroom and gives them the rest of the challenge. It’s not just an avant garde look, it’s an avant garde look that’s based on signs of the zodiac. Straight Guy is thrilled with the clarification because it’s much harder to put together an aimless avant garde look. “I can just put a sock on my head and call it avant garde”. Try a sack. You’ll totally get laid more.

CutToe is teamed with Kelly, Kenley gets Wesley (who’s banging her hag fag. Fireworks?), Straight Guy gets Daniel, Squirc gets Emily and is very excited about it, Blayne gets Leatha, which is a perfect marriage of bad construction, and Terri gets Keith. LOLOLLLL that’s what you get you bitch! Jerell gets Jennifer, and that leaves Pleather with the nurse serial killer guy, who is excited to be “with my original roommate.” Then dark clouds form overhead and it starts raining blood.

They have thirty minutes to sketch. Leatha explains the air sign to Blayne. He doesn’t seem to get it so she just starts flicking him on the head. CutToe and Kelly will be doing Aquarius, which is meant to be because CutToe looks like she could actually be cast to sing that song in Hair.

Right?

Kenley is also designing for Aquarius, which is her own sign. She reads the info that Tim gave them, which describes the Aquarian as being headstrong and original and assures us that that’s an exact description of her. It’s missing a few tidbits, like the horsey laugh, and the passive aggressive defensiveness. And the bangs. She pitches that dress to us like she’s running for mayor. Nice speech. Just try and make something that doesn’t look like it came off the set of the Honeymooners, k?

Hobosexi is listening a little bit too much to his partner, Jennifer. I don’t know how Holly Golightly can be considered avant garde, but if there’s anyone to make the case, it’s Jennifer. She tells Jerell that since he’s Sagittarius he should make an arch. For the archer. Get it? Then they can add a Jackie O pill hat and a baby doll waist line and maybe a necklace made of rusty paper clips. Kismet!

Straight Guy and Daniel are going with Aries, or The Ram. Daniel takes over the meeting and Straight Guy nods and smiles a lot. Straight Guy works much better with someone else coming up with the ideas. I’m sure we’ll get an opinion from him the second Daniel turns his back. Pretty Girl just giggles at Squirc, which is a pretty good way of dealing with that weirdo. Squirc is a Libra, but she chooses to design Scorpio instead because she doesn’t wanna be forced to do something hacky like design around uneven scales. Cut to Blayne designing around uneven scales. HA. Leatha, who is looking hotter and happier and more stoned than ever, just nods and tells him “that’s beautiful.”

Over at Mood, Kenley has decided that she’s happy to work with Wesley “because he takes orders well.” I see Kenley in a very long, happy marriage with a very scared, sad man. Terri is going with Leo because it’s Keith’s sign and she would rather rag on his than dig deeper into her own. She wants a “lioness color” and sends him off to fetch it. When he asks her advice she tells us he just can’t get it. Damn, Terri. If he just chose what he wanted you would have a fit about that too. Either Terri has just upped the bitch ante big time or the editors are really starting to hate her ass.

Back at the workroom, Keith tells her and us not to use faux fur because it will look like a tacky costume. That would be good advice coming from anyone else, but Keith only made things that looked like tacky costumes. Terri rolls her eyes a lot and tells us that Keith’s skill level “isn’t the same as mine”, so she’s mortified. He promises to sew everything so she doesn’t have to touch the sewing machine and she’s like uh…no. He asks her to be gentle with him because he’s still not over being kicked auf and she just ignores him and tells us he should spend his time picking up pins that fall on the floor. Terri, you have made me side with Keith, and for that you must pay.

Picture 11-36

Don’t you open those nostrils at me.

Serial Killer tells us how excited he is to be working on an avant garde project because he has won awards for designing in that style. What award is that? Don’t get defensive. Just wondering. Seriously. What’s the name of that award you won?

200809101946

The heads and arms of the dress forms behind him are in an ice chest in the trunk of his car.

Kenley tells us AGAIN that she chose Aquarius because the sign is very strong and progressive just like her. She wants to get voting rights for women and stop segregation and if Lucille Ball doesn’t win an Emmy soon she’s gonna write the Acadamy! She giggles and fawns over her hunchback Cinderella design and calls herself fierce while Squirc rolls her eyes in the corner and tells us how sick she is of Kenley’s insane overconfidence. Cut to Kenley acting like Jackee on 227.

Picture 12-30

HHLLLLLLLLLLL. Maaaary!

She catches Squirc and Pretty Girl rolling their eyes at her and tells us that she hates when people talk shit right in front of her and that she just likes to have fun and some girls don’t like that. Yeah, Kenley, they don’t like you cuz you’re….fun.

200809101953

Tim comes into check on progress and starts with Blayne. He gives his pitch to Gunn and it’s worthy of a quote: “She’s all kinda like nude and when there’s a situation that arises she begins to manifest that situation.” Uhhhh…

200809101956

What are you still doing here?



Blayne just keeps saying “manifest” over and over again and then adds that they will top all this manifestation off with leather straps to symbolize being strapped down. Tim asks why, and Leatha just smiles big. Tim’s face never unscrunches. All he can advise is to make sure the look is cohesive. Nothing’s even started yet. Blayne chirps HOLLA ATCHA BOI! and I bang my head on the desk. As Tim leaves with his face in perpetual scrunch, Blayne turns to Stella excitedly and says “that went well!”

Hobosexi and Jennifer are doing the Sagitarius archer, and it looks like one hundred percent Jennifer. Squirc’s gonna be pissed when she sees all those pointless layers on the skirt.

200809102003

For the woman who can never have enough pockets to carry around gum.

Jerell says that he’s playing with an armor vibe for the skirt, and Tim says that it looks like a school marm’s coat made into a skirt and he’s so far on the precipice that they’ll either win or crash and burn. Could you be a little more specific? Even Tim is having trouble figuring out what the hell passes for good this season. He’s just like “just finish, concentrate on that.”

Tim goes to Pretty Girl and Squirc next, and they tell him they are making a hard outer shell for their Scorpio look. Tim likes it but says Squirc should probably try and invent some more new shapes to keep her ball rolling.

200809102007

And I got kicked off for fluorescent ruffles.

And then Tim gets to Kenley, who’s doing a punk rock angel thing with airbags left over from the car challenge.

200809102014

He doesn’t look horrified enough, so she pulls out bright floral print and zebra print and smiles and giggles. He tells her calmly that the line between avant garde and costume is very thin and she needs to wooooah horsey. She argues with him. Will these people never learn? DON’T ARGUE WITH TIM! She asks defensively what play this costume would be in and he says it’s Glenda the Good witch. She retorts that Glenda would never wear this, and I don’t think there’s anyone who would disagree with that. Glenda has some taste. Tim shrugs and tells her not to listen to him. She says she thinks the judges are gonna love it as is and then she horsey laughs. He’s like go fuck yourself, k? and walks off.

Wesley tells us he doesn’t wanna touch Kenley’s work because he knows it’s gonna get ripped apart on the runway. HAAHA. Go teamwork! Dramatic music comes on, which means it’s time to look at Terri and Keith. Tim tells Terri that she should do her best to make her fur work and “Keith is nothing….” silence. Offended look from Keith…”if not innovative in his thinking.” He thinks this should be a match made in Heaven. Silence. Finally Keith kinda awkwardly laughs and says that he thinks the outer pink garment should be constructed differently. Terri says he never opened his mouth about anything other than ruffles and he argues and calls her “darlin”, which she slaps down. LOVE IT. This is what you get for being evil, Terri. Karma’s a C word. It’s the same law of the universe that makes me crash my car once a year and date guys who steal from me and gain five pounds every time I smell fried chicken. Evil doesn’t pay.

Picture 8-51

Please stop looking at me like that.

When Tim leaves, Keith tells Terri he’s trying to help but she’s a hard person to work with. She ignores him and as he leaves he says “what a fuckin nightmare.” Why don’t you cry about it? In other news, Wesley grew some hair on his chest!

200809102025

Or there’s crap on the lens. I can’t tell.

The next morning, Pleather decides to dress like he just found out he has cervical cancer so the Judges will take pity on him.

200809102026

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Back at the workroom, everyone gets a note typed by Heidi’s English speaking assistant telling them they will be showing their work at a party at the planetarium and PS you only have til 8 instead of til midnight and two of you losers are going home tonight bizyezye. THANK YOU! This heightens the tension in the room a little, but no one seems to think it’s gonna be them. I know who it’s not gonna be. My favorite little Leatha. You can’t kill someone who’s already dead. She takes off her jacket and she’s wearing an American flag with shit all nailed to it. Is that even legal? I don’t care. I love it.

200809102031

Oh say can you…get me a fuckin hamma.



The designers start rushing around to get everything done in time. The funniest are Serial Killer and Pleather, who are whispering to each other for no reason. These two should get married. And move really, really far away. Three hours to go. Keith asks Terri what to do and she brushes him off so he goes to the lounge and chills because he’s not gonna look stupid on national TV. Again. To make sure we all see that he’s the bigger person, he giggles with Hobosexi about how Terri can do whatever she wants with her fur but he doesn’t design for The Lion King. You wish you could get a job that big, ya hack.

Tim comes in to tell them that they are almost out of time and there will no longer be immunity. RUSH! Kenley looks around the room and tells us that she’s not afraid of losing this one because everyone around her sucks. See? Fun. That’s what she is.

The “party” is at the Rose Center for Earth and Space. When everyone arrives, there are a lot of really cool shots of the planetarium and for a second I am confused. What the hell is this episode schilling? There hasn’t been one mention of a product yet. The Planetarium? Is it starring in a show on Bravo? Is someone gonna whip out a Carls Jr. Hamburger at this “party for no specific brand”? It’s unnerving. If I know what you’re trying to sell me there’s a better chance I’ll buy it. Anyways, the guest judges are all designers from past seasons. There’s Daniel Vosovick, who has turned into the kid from American Pie with a bowl cut…

200809102047

This is called squandering your hotness.



…Carmen from season 4, Alison (who?) from season 3, Robert from season 1 (makes Blayne look like he’s never been outside EVER), Jay (BEST) from season1, Kara from season 2, and Christian, last year’s winner. I have read Christian hates Blayne’s pathetic attempts at lingo invention and wants him dead. Let’s hope he makes it happen tonight.

Picture 14-23

Why Harry Hamlin, you’re looking pretty good for your age.



What must the previous designers be thinking right now looking at this group of misfits? Blayne in his headband and Leatha in her American Flag and Hobosexi in paper towels he found on the floor. Blayne looks like he’s meeting Dirty Olsen.

200809102053

The designers walk around the party with their creations and mingle, but the winners won’t be announced until tomorrow’s runway show. Heidi is first to attack Kenley as revenge for her backtalk on the runway last week. She asks where the model’s boobs are and Kenley horsey laughs and says that she is very strong and progressive and knows where to put boobs thank you very much. Heidi thinks the boobs are way too low and Kenley says the boobs are exactly where Heidi’s are. This girl has a death wish. She tells us that if Heidi talks “nonsense” on the runway she’s prepared to set her straight. YAY FIGHT! Heidi only talks nonsense, so this is a win win for us. Yes Kenley’s an asshole, but I really don’t want her gone this week. Over fifty percent of the remaining designers suck more than she does so I hope she just shuts her big horsey mouth.

200809102058

Hulleow. I’m progressive. Why do you think those smiley faces at Wal Mart are there? I did that.

Alison loves Squirc’s dress, but who cares? I didn’t even remember Alison when I first saw her. I press pause and stare at her and…nope. Who are you? Christian hates Terri’s fur collar but loves the rest. She refuses to even acknowledge Keith, so Christian doesn’t acknowledge him either. HA. Carmen is drinking a tall glass of champagne and talking like she knows what’s what, but come on. Carmen? All I remember is her sobbing and being crazy and sending what looked like a flesh eating disease down the runway.

200809102103

Mmmhmmm. Sewing. Yes. Fashion uhhuh. Hoop skirt. So NOW. You guys should come into Borders sometime. I can totally get you a discount.



She gets stuck talking to Pleather, and it’s the first time I’ve ever felt for her. Jay guesses that CutToe designed for Aquarius and then says that she could probably sing that role in the musical Hair. See? Meanwhile, Heidi is across the room telling Blayne that his work looks like granny panties. How can you not love Heidi? Still, I see a need for his design.

200809102106

Strap grandma down before she pees on the rug again.

Blayne tries to talk Heidi into liking it, but she won’t budge. He asks if she at least understands what he’s trying to portray and she stays silent. That’s a first. Daniel counts off the nine hundred trims Hobosexi has clobbered his jacket with, but in a weird turn he says he likes it and Jerell did a great job. Kara really loves Straight Guy’s work and calls it a “pillar of fire and strength.” I love Kara. Freakin hippie. Jay likes Squirc’s Scorpio outfit but suggests she do something about her split ends. On the other side of the room, Carmen wonders why she can’t get stuck talking to someone she likes and Christian wonders why everyone’s so fucking tall all the time.

200809102114

Christian: Are my tonsils swollen? Hello? Hello? Hello?

Carmen: Is that Harry Hamlin?

When everyone’s sufficiently wasted, the previous designers cast their votes for their faves as Robert looks around wondering how he’s left alone at the end of the party. Hint: The black lights didn’t do your teeth bleaching any favors. Ross Gellar pulled that shit off with more grace.

The next morning, the designers are given more time to work on their designs. Terri listened to Christian’s advice about her giant fur collar and has decided to put it onto the front of the dress. Keith does everything in his power to prove to her and us that he’s not just a whiny little brat and works his butt off for her.

200809102119

Like Chris March, only less hawt.

Tim brings in the models for fittings. Kenley built a bustier and padded her model with boobies. She won’t admit that she was wrong verbally, but at least she’s giving her twig falsies. That’s something, right? A few tables over, Leatha’s hammering stuff. LOL. Please bring her back. Blayne asks how much she has left to do and she threatens to hammer his head next. Pleather spends the rest of his work time repeating his own name. Straight Guy thinks Kenley’s work looks like a Mickey Mouse hat, and he’s not really wrong on that one. Still, it’s Straight Guy. We haven’t seen much of his work today, so I am hoping it’s hellacious. Time for the runway show! Tim sweetly wakes Keith up in time to get sent home again. Aw!

200809102124

The bus back to obscurity’s outside! Hurry or you’ll miss it!

On the runway, Heidi sticks with black and introduces the judges. She welcomes back Nina Garcia! YAY!!! She’s already scowling! The guest judge is Francisco Costa, who is the women’s creative director at Calvin Klein. Francisco tries to smile, but ends up looking like a very pissed off rat.

200809102133

Who Moved My Cheese?



In all fairness, he might be looking at Jerell.

200809102134

What? You don’t have recycled hoodies, plastic chains and glue guns at Calvin Klein? Girl please.



Blayne’s crazy ass Libra outfit is out first and WOW. His poof model looks like one of those strippers in the thirties who wore balloons and took nickels to let old men pop them off her. Unfortunately, the bar ran out of nickels. Leatha describes it to us as “unbalanced”, “explosion of emotion” and “bling”. I’ll give ya unbalanced and explosion.

Kenley’s next, and her poor model can’t even walk. Kenley has turned her into a Lucy VanPelt doll. It’s kinda perfect. The model is walking like she’s trying to balance a fishbowl on her head. Wesley tells us that Kenley totally missed the mark on that one. This coming from a guy who wears short shorts in public. She should be worried.

Group1-5

Terri’s Leo dress looks a lot better than Keith made it sound, but only slightly. The skirt is long and gold, and she kinda made the pink poofy sleeve things work over the leather bustier, in a brrr I’m cold get me a gay parachute to cuddle up in sort of way. She took Christian’s advice and toned down the fur, but there’s all this flowy fabric in the back and a sewn on strip for the model to play with, and it looks like streamers are coming out of the model’s hands. Like a tricycle. I hope whoever wears this doesn’t take the subway home. Those sleeves will get stuck in the door and the poor model will get spattered all over the rails. This dress has inspired violent thoughts in me. Terri says that she’s proud because there is not team here, only Terri. Nothing like failing on your own, eh? Keith says that both her and her design aesthetic are cheap. Honk honk. Seriously the bus is pulling away. Run!

CutToe has made yet another formless dress, but unlike a lot of her work, this one is FUG. It doesn’t help that her model, as usual, looks like she’s on the brink of a nervous breakdown. CutToe used all different colors of transparent blues over a mini skirt. She’s also stolen Squirc’s layers of pointless stripes and circles over the sleeves, and there is a ton of fabric bunched up in the back. It kind of reminds me of Austin Scarlett’s Grammy dress, but a really really bad version. This wasn’t shown at all yet, so I thought it was gonna be kick ass. Unfortunately it’s just ass. Dammit. I like CutToe most of the time and was rooting for her not to suck.

Group-2

Straight Guy beams as his creation comes down the runway. The transparent collared vest is perty, but that skirt. Yikes. It looks like he chained Chiquita Banana to the back of a pickup truck and dragged her through the mud. Hobosexi’s model looks like a little girl who played dress up when she visited her drunk tacky aunt’s house. The skirt is too long and awkward, and the blouse doesn’t fit. The jacket … I don’t really even know what to say about this anymore. The model looks like Mayim Bialik from Beaches all grown up and confident in her insanity. Hobo says there’s an elegance to his look “that you’d have to be blind not to see”. There’s an idea. A line for blind people. I believe in you, Hobo!

Group3-5

Suircangle’s Scorpio dress is sad, because it’s for some sort of Jester funeral. She’s put squircangles all over everything like she does every single week. When does that stop being originality and start being really, really stupid? There is no form or womanliness to this. I know this is an avant garde challenge, but it’s getting ridiculous. How in the world are the judges gonna pick a winner from this pile of crap?

Pleather’s top is kinda pretty. It’s see thru blue over blue. The pants are shiny navy blue and look poorly sewn, but for him not bad. And then the model turns around. She’s a kite! There’s all this fabric on the back with wire to keep it floating. It’s pinned to her arms and to the top of the back with flowers. A wedding cake kite? OY. Serial Killer takes the credit for the work, and if I were Pleather, I would let him do so publicly. I don’t think Pleather is very confident in Pleather’s work today, because Pleather’s hawk is limp.

Group4-4

CutToe, Jerell, Squircangle, and Straight Guy are called as the top teams. One will be the winner but the judges need some time to come up with some bullshit reason to justify the win so they send them backstage to wait it out. Kenley, Terri, Blayne and Pleather are kept on the runway as the bottom group. I don’t really know how to differentiate between today’s work cuz I think it all bit, but my fingers are crossed that Pleather and Blayne go home tonight.

Heidi starts with Blayne. Nina says it looks half assed. Blayne says he and Leatha hand sewed everything and Nina almost starts laughing and calls it the one legged monster. HA. I missed ya, Garcia. Blayne tries to argue, saying he thinks it’s interesting. Unfortunately, you thinking that’s interesting is what got you here, idiot. Kors points out that just like last year’s crackpot, Crazy Eye, his model is pooping fabric.

200809102240

Either that or she’s got the largest labia ever made.



Terri says that she wanted to create heat and she made some changes from yesterday so it wasn’t looking like The Wiz. Kors asks Keith and Terri if they got along and Terri says that Keith walked out on him. And then they start squabbling and Nina rolls her eyes. Kors tells Terri that she is never going to work with someone she loves all the time in fashion and she’s gonna have to learn to deal with it, and then he says that the model looks like a voodoo princess from Hell. The model starts cracking up, LOL model, and Terri says that she’s shocked to hear these comments. I’m shocked you haven’t been hearing them the entire season.

Kors continues that her taste flew out the window. Kenley’s next and smiles and says she thought it turned out cool. Nina says it has nothing to do with the challenge and Kenley pulls major attitude and tells her that she was inspired by the sign and wow, she’s really going off. Nina just smiles and lets Kors take the reigns. He tells her that they’ve seen that dress before and names three designers who have already done each piece. She rolls her eyes and argues “I don’t look at collections.” Way to make your case, DUMBASS. I don’t think anyone’s shocked at that. She stomps her feet and crosses her arms and pouts that it’s avant garde and Kors says he’s seen it before which means it’s not avant garde. Damn. That was some good shit.

200809102248

Bitch I will smack you down with the whitest thing on me.

Pleather’s next, and he starts by saying his own name. OY. Heidi thinks it’s boring, so he repeats his name. Then he does it again. No one is thrilled. Unfortunately, I think Kenley might have just saved his pasty ass. In alone time, Kors says Blayne was a giant disaster and a fashion joke. Heidi says “that’s baaaad…but true.” Kenley did what she wanted instead of following the challenge and Nina defensively says that doesn’t like her defensive attitude. Kors says she’s acting like a stubborn Taurus. Cut to Kenley backstage saying “that’s bullshit!” LOL. Nina uses the word “hate” with Terri’s dress, and adds “cheap” into the mix. Rat judge didn’t like that she didn’t take any responsibility for her own failure. When Pleather comes up, everyone just says “boring”. Kors finally calls out the retarded third person lingo and says he’s delusional. THANK YOU. Where have you been the past nine weeks?

All of the designers are brought back on the runway. Hobosexi wins!!! HUH?!?!?! I credit Mayim’s charm. As nuts as Hobo makes me, it’s cute to see him win something and smile so big. Are his teeth made out of wood?

200809102256

If they’re good enough for Abraham Lincoln, they’re good enough for Hobosexi.



The PR alumni voted him tops, which I find disturbing. Jerell says that he is confident he will keep winning all the way through Bryant Park, where he will receive his giant check. Ha. Heidi excuses the rest of the tops and also Kenley. Surprised they didn’t make her sweat more. Heidi says Terri’s look was poorly made and lacked taste. Blayne is a joke, and Pleather is boring. Blayne is the first one cut. SWEET! He tells us that he’s baffled and being eliminated is like a slap in the face. No, this is like a slap in the face. Ouch. That just hurt my hand and smudged the TV. And now we just need to get rid of Pleather. NOPE! HE’S IN!!! WTF?!?!?!? These judges have lost their fucking minds. How was Terri’s worse than the wedding kite? Should have come up with a “wackadoodle” personality instead of just a plain ole bitchy one, I guess.

200809102301

Thanks for suggesting the kite, Grandpa! Ouch! Stop spitting fingernails at me I’m being serious!

Terri looks like she’s gonna beat the shit out of the judges, and I wish she would. Nina is so not afraid.

200809102302

When does lunch get here?



Terri thought she was gonna win the whole thing and is in shock because Tim said “people need to hear from you” the first time he met her. I’m sure he wasn’t positive or encouraging to anyone else, sucka. I think it’s Terri’s shit attitude that did her in, but that thought doesn’t even cross her mind. Blayne tells us that you can’t second guess yourself as an artist and we will be seeing him very very soon. Or at least one of the inevitable licious bumper stickers that will show up on his MySpace page. What did you guys think? Did Terri deserve it? Is Pleather’s grandpa really up in Heaven looking out for him? Did Nina Garcia age ten years on her vacation? Thanks for reading!

    Thanks again, Flipit.
    #1. I think Squirc was robbed. I really liked her dress and thought it actually looked “scorpio”.

    #2. This is the first season of PR that I am not rooting for anyone. I look forward to the aufs and not the wins.

    One little correction… it was George Washington with the wooden teeth, not Abe. Sorry….everything else was superb, as usual!!

    OMG, I ALSO hurt my hand and damaged my TV attempting to punch Blayne. And Terri. And Keith. And Kenley. And Pleather.

    The show tonight was like a giant yeast infection, irritating, smelly and making me wish for pharmaceutical relief. Keith IS a big crybaby, but C*nTerri couldn’t suck it up for two whole days (she knew he was going back home at the end of it, why not be, you know, human about it and play nice?) and she shut him out of everything… and then complained that he didn’t help her!

    Blayne looked like he emptied out the body-puff section at Walgreen’s and tacked them all to one side of that fuggo pantsuit. I am so happy I won’t see that fucking split-blue headband anymore.

    Kenley’s nasalness is like Nine Inch Nails on the World’s Biggest Chalkboard, and I hope at the end of this that Wal-Mart gives her her own end-cap display for all her innovative Fabulous Fifties designs (I’m seeing a sea of big orange “CLEARANCE PRICED” stickers, too) and I wish that just once Heidi or Michael (or best of all… NINA) would stop her and say “Shut your yap, you’re the bottom, we’re the tops, and your role is to bite the pillow and take it up the ass until we’re all through and then limp off the catwalk crying…” I am so glad they finally called her out on hammering every round-challenge into her square-50′s hole. That dress looked like a giant pair of sweltering plaid cysts bound by leather and chiffon.

    I was floored that Hobosexi’s pile of crap won, but he irritates me so much less than everyone else at this point.

    Awesome job, Flipit… I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who gains weight just driving by KFC…

    love, J-Mo :)

    I’m so effing mad at these idiots for allowing Pleather to haunt my TV for another fucking week! At least Terri was funny sometimes (on the 4 days a month she doesn’t have PMS).

    I’m buying Hobosexi a case of chapstick for Christmas. And a year’s supply of toothpaste. Ugh.

    BTW- Alison was the lowtalker from Laura’s season. All I remember about her is that I always had to turn the volume WAY up whenever she spoke, and she got eliminated because her model’s hair was fashioned into a horrible Minnie Mouse-type bow.

    flip, seriously, your caption featuring christian and carmen made me laugh so hard i peed a little. and i’m at work, so it was pretty awkward. marry me, with the explicit understanding that we will have numerous affairs with many beautiful, muscular, wealthy men who do not refer to themselves in the third person. amazing recap as always.

    “tough titties, blue light” LOL!

    j-mo, your yeast infection metaphor might have just made me die a little inside. love you anyway. :o p

    i liked straight guy’s, much to my dismay. i also liked cutToe’s for whatever reason. also a little baffled by the hobosexi win, but i hate him less than most of the others, so whatevs. really, REALLY hate kenley. wanted them to send her ass packing for being a horseslut.

    Terri was so horribly nasty & refused to take responsibility and blamed everyone else (Keith, Christian), THAT’s why she was auf’d.

    Jerrell’s is very interesting and probably more avant garde than any other outfit that went down the runway.

    Korto was boring, but according to Tim, Kelli got very sick and Korto had to cut back on her design.

    I liked Leeann’s and Joe’s was beautiful, but not avant garde in the least.

    There’s no way any avant garde dress will ever compare favorably to last year’s Chris/Christian (Team Fierce!) masterpiece.

    Good Lord, I love your recaps!! (and totally agree about Vosovic – what was he thinking!?!)

    Peace out Blaine!! Totally sucked ass knowing you – you have less talent than Heidi Montag! Seriously, this was my favorite line: “Either that or she’s got the largest labia ever made.” Ha!

    Keith – is a whiney bitch, and has driven me crazy all season – but the moment he said, “Take it easy on me, I’m still upset from being kicked off” I was like – shit, I would totally F him now! (if he were straight) This is my problem with men, I’ve now learned through a truly terrible season of PR!

    Anyway – I personally didn’t like any of the outfits this week, and I hope that Kutoe secretly shaves Kenley’s head while she’s asleep and gives the hair to Chris March to use in his next design – Cannot stand that C-word!

    Flipit, your recaps of this craptacular season make my Thursdays worthwhile! (Well, the recaps and the drink specials at the local pub.)

    Now then, onto the show: AAAAAGH, how is Pleather still here?!?! I know Terri was being particularly wenchy to Keith, but the judges claim to only take fashion into account, and Pleather’s outfit looked rumply and poorly done. Grrrrrrrr. My only consolation is that Kors called him out on the third-person speaking.

    I was so happy to see all of the former contestants, except for Carmen because A) She was annoying as all get-out, and B) Remember her awful menswear challenge? She didn’t even make a shirt, she threw some fabric around her model’s neck! Some poor PA probably had to call like 10 people before they found her lame ass to come on the show.

    Love the show and the recaps! I love watching the judges getting pissier and grouchier each week as they have to watch more crapola coming down the runway. That’s probably why they kicked off two this week – they’re trying to lessen the torture a little.

    I thought Hobi’s look was OK, but Squirc’s was better. She’s so far ahead at this point that I think the judges will just randomly kick off whoever annoys them the most each week.

    My fave part this week was watching Squirc and the Winona Ryder look alike roll their eyes at Kenley. Poor Kenley is in her own little world. The show will be duller when she and her horsey laugh are gone.

    Til next week!

    2)I’m glad Terry is out! She was annoying as hell, and a total bitch last night! I thought Keith was right in acting the way he did to her!
    3) I liked Squirc’s and Straight Guy’s dresses!
    4) Kenley is getting overconfident, and that dress was horrible!

    Now, I’ll take my punishment, as I deserve! :)

    Great recap as always, I commend you for your lightning speed!

    Small correction if it hasn’t already been done: I think you meant ‘sweetheart’ collar from the chiffon-and-poptarts line. Actually, having had to make something similar to that myself, I thought that was really funny. Watch it be a challenge now, since they can never get anything original anymore. I mean geez, now they’re recycling the DESIGNERS, past and really-past! Ugggghhh… I hope the move to LA isn’t going to be the death knell, but with LA’s emphasis on ready-to-wear and sportswear, I worry…

    My prediction for top 3: Straight Guy, Horsey Laugh and CutToe, with CutToe for the win. But of course it’ll be a top 5 or top 92 or something. I’m just going to cheat when Fashion Week is over and get it from other sources…I hate this season.

    Praise to flip it for your fantastic and speedy recaps–so nice to redigest this s*it while it’s fresh!

    Wow, Hobi winning was a surprise, but I guess the dress part was kinda cool. He seems nice, and probably personality may have had something to do with the voting . . . Terri was in a black funk this epi, my my, can’t take anymore Keith, but for reals girl, it’s only a TV show, what’s the big deal, he could have hemmed something . . . You could see Tim bristling around them, and the judges, so annoyed!!!

    I was happy to see the oldies come back, Pleatha’s look was all Jerry, looked just like the serial killer dress with a different coat–Pleatha’s shooting blanks for weeks, and he’s still there . . . why!? I’m really dying to see him go . . .

    Glad liscious finally bit it though, and so deservedly with that fug fug dress, wasn’t loving Squirc this time, or anyone’s, except straight guys . . . I would have given it to him . . . Bettie Page still doesn’t bug me as much as everyone, I must be getting patience as I age or something, but she does need to shut up!!!!!

    Lastly, Hey Flip, can I take you to dinner, I might need a new car!!!! Just kidding!!!! HEARTS AND FLOWERS!!!

    Get me a fuckin hamma! Hahahahaha! Flipit I can’t believe how fast you do these.

    Bringing back all the aufed donkeys was a great idea for a challenge/train wreck. Other shows take note: DO IT! Make them live together for one last day, that won’t be at all awkward. And vote out two at a time. That makes it much better.

    The amount of hate I have for Kenley is a bit frightening, considering it’s, you know, a tv show. She needs a punch in those horsey teeth. Wasn’t her dress just like her one leg hanging out purple tulle/ugly flower dress, but with big ass sleeves? And her shanghai dress was just like the model pick the fabric challenge, but without the ruffley collar? Make something else, Rami One Trick Toga.

    I am totally digging Leanimal right now. She’s just so off in her own little world. Plus, she makes some kick-ass shit.

    And don’t hit me, but Hobo is totally growing on me. Loved the construction of his skirt this week, and he totally won the Lipstick Jungle challenge, no matter what the judges said.

    I was LOLing (OL!) when Kenley’s “masterpiece” came waddling down the runway. That was hysterical. “I don’t look at the collections.” And that is why Kmart loves you, bless your heart.

    Glad Terri was auf’d. No one makes me empathize with Keith and gets away with it!!

    OK so Terri was robbed. Pleather should have gone this week because the design was boring and shoddily put together.

    Terri was being a bitch, sure, but Keith was being a little whiny bitch. Keith had no excuse for acting like a child, he should have just toughed it out and said “Look bitch, we have to work together so deal with it”. Him running off like a little girl was stupid.

    Funny recap as usual. It’s better than the actual show.
    One thing caught my eye. You said Pleather was wearing a scarf like he had cervical cancer. Wouldn’t he have to have a cervex or do you know something we all don’t?
    Terri and Keith were the bi-polar team. She passive-agressive, him the depressed schizophrenic…with a little paranoia thrown in.
    I thought all that stuff was pretty ugly. Maybe the judges put all the names in a hat and picked the winner and losers that way. Makes more sense than trying to justify any of that garbage.

    thanks, Flipit, you’ve brightened my otherwise craptastic day! (work, blah blah blah) I love reading the comments as well, you guys are so funny. I agree with the Kenley hate, she made her Olive Oyl model look hideous, avant-NOTHING. Someone already mentioned what season Alison was in, she is the one who’s manner of speaking reminds me of Squirc’s (that soft pronunciation of words). I hadn’t noticed, but maybe Pleatha hasn’t referred to Pleatha in the 3rd person in front of the judges? No wonder Oompa Loompa Kors almost fell off his chair. The judges sent the right people home—Terri’s gold lame skirt = cheap Lion King. I won’t miss her attitude. As for LicOUS, there was never much talent there poor thing, but it seemed that the paler he got, the weaker his designs became. At least he can go home now to Oregon & fry all he wants. My top 3 for Fashion Week are Squirc, Korto, & ??? Hobo? (pls, no more Horsey, it’s time to lead that horse back to the barn).

    The more this season’s designers suck (and they all suck), the better the recaps become — I laughed all the way through this one.

    None of them seemed to understand that “avant garde” is supposed to mean ‘what is to come’ — in other words, the designs are still supposed to be wearable, not just funny-looking costumes.

    I have a question: just when do they tape the talking heads interviews? It is it during the process, or after? So, for example, was Terri already eliminated when they taped all that bitchiness?

    They kept Pleatha because they couldn’t afford to lose both clowns, since they had no choice but to cut Blayne at long last — in fact, I’m certain this double elimination was created only to get rid of him.

    Crossover alert! Next Top Design it looks like they will be designing window displays for past PR contestants. In the promo I could see Andrae, Santino, and Asshole Jeffrey. He’s already been on Bravo way too much this year for my taste, but I am so hoping he will make prissy Eddie from Martha Stewart Magazine cry… Oh please please please…

    Yahoo had pictures of the (5) designer’s collections. However, there weren’t many from Cuttoe which has me wondering why… Suede and Jerrell’s stuff was a bit boring and their lines didn’t look cohesive. Squirc’s designs seemed to go together more. Kenley’s was the most “design-y”. In the past, they’ve tended to pick designers who clothes were more fashion-y as opposed to what real people would wear. For the first time I don’t really care who wins. I don’t love anyone or really hate anyone who’s still left.

    Joe keeps tellin us that he is happily married – I suspect his wife isn’t.

    Jerell – “I can pull something avant garde out my ass”. Oh – that’s where that turd came from.

    Did Daniel V. steal Chad’s (Million $ Listing) hair cut or vice versa?

    Blayne put crinoline tumors all over his model like she was his Middle School Science project on the effects of elephantitis

    Hey Suede – see that shingle you are on. Smells a little fecal, no?!

    Kenley – comparing your boobage location to Heidi’s boobage location is like comparing your headbandage to LC’s headbandage. You are so not purple!

    I would comment more but my coffee just kicked in and I have to go push out an Avant Garde.

    Not as many ruffles or stringy material as I thought there’d be. Not too bad in general, though. Nothing earth-shattering.
