This week on Fashion Show, I have never been more grateful for my fugly ass Crocs in my life.
Nope. Still not Tim Gunn. Keep workin, though!
Merlin has decided to start the morning by butching it up a bit. No tiaras or catsuits today! Just a simple black sweat band and a backwards sports bra.
De boobies on my bake need suppore.
The very next shot is Underoo concentrating very hard on... underwear. LOL. This show? Is hilarious.
One day, I will bring the perfect wiener fit to all of the world.
Underoo ignores that whole not designing his own winning outfit thing from last week and smiles slyly, telling us that everyone underestimates him cuz he designs underwear, "but we'll see who ends up on top." I would venture to say that there isn't one single top in this entire cast. It will be interesting to see who wins, though, if only because that will mean this wreck made it through an entire season. Time for the mini-challenge. I think Disappointed Midwestern Mom loves Laura Brown, cuz I haven't seen a smile like this on his face since episode one.
I put the kids in Summer camp, drew a bubble bath, and speed read "He's Just Not That Into You." I'M A NEW WOMAN!
Isaac tells them they are gonna have to step out of their comfort zone. I hope this means he will be forcing them to watch football or maybe look at vaginas or something. Donde esta Not Beyonce? Maybe she had to go on not tour or something. Isaac pulls a sheet off the table and it's a pile of shoes! Haven squeals and giggles like an idiot. Because she's such a giiiiirl! And girls love shoooooes! Haven reminds me of one of those sad women who put on their finest Laura Ashley flower print dresses and plastic high heels from the Ross rack to go to the opening of Sex and the City with her girlfriends and drink cranberry juice in plastic martini glasses. And yes, I was one of those sad women. Moving on.
Audio montage of the designers each saying how much they love shoes. Conspicuously absent from that clip was Reco on Flim, and when Isaac announces the designer who did all the shoes on the table, Reco looks shocked silent. He's not used to womens shoes that aren't see through with ten inch stilletos. The designer lady owns Olsen House Shoes. No, I'm sorry. Olsen House Vegan Shoes. OH PUHLEEZE!! Who eats shoes? Fuck you, Olsen! I'M OVER all this hippie dippie green bs. YAY raise my gas tax and my energy bills cuz my po ass life doesn't suck enough yet! Did you know France is gonna stop serving lamb cuz lamb burps are bad for the environment?!? The world has gone f ing mad and this needs to stop. Before I lose my shit all over this recap, let's just change the subject. Here's something. Why is that vegans are always fat?
I call closet meat eater! Those chins didn't get there by eating bean curd.
Vegan house only uses "non animal sustainable more eco friendly materials". They're most likely still made by ten year old Chinese peasants in sweat shops for ten cents a day, but as long as the cows don't get hurt feelings. Not surprisingly, the shoes are cheap looking and fugly. Olsen should be skinned and turned into a double chinned beanbag chair for subjecting women to these travesties.
The challenge is to make shoes Olsen would make, but not as ugly. "There are eco friendly materials under your tables!!", Olsen chirps before sneaking into the greenroom to steal handfuls of beef jerky off the crafts services table. As I force my eyes to unroll from the back of my head, I think I catch Mexican Jay wearing leggings. Rewind. Wow. A bowler hat, nurse scrubs and leggings might be hideous on their own, but together they're...nope they're still just hideous.
Three wrongs make a really really really wrong.
The outfit may be good luck, though, cuz it seems like the producers are trying to hand him this one. Can't sew? Here's a bottle of glue. Go!
Reco tells us about his plans to make a simple short boot. Really? You're gonna make a simple short boot out of the simple short boot you were given? That's ground breaking. One thing I really like about Reco is that he isn't being bitchy or negative right now, yet he still wears this face.

Flip, it was so weird to wake up this morning and the first thing I read on the page was Tim Gunn's name. I swear that I had a dream about Tim right before waking. He and I were in a store shopping for a gift for Ralph Lauren. I may have been his asst, dunno. Anyway, Tim decides that he should get RL a duvet. Then he chooses a Ralph Lauren duvet. I kept mentioning to Tim that he probably already has one like that because he designed it. But Tim wanted to buy it anyway. LOL What a boring ass dream!
Anyway, on to the recap. Thank thank thank you for the shout out to Chris March. I miss him! Why can't they give him his own show? It would be fantastic. Speaking of, why wasn't he a judge on RuPaul's show instead of that asshole Santino? Chris knows much more about drag queens! I guess they wanted a bitch ala Simon Cowell or Nina Garcia on the panel. Boo! Ru, listen to me girl. If there is a season 2, you have to get Chris!
That piece of crap that Reco made shouldn't have one. Was I the only one who could see that the "weaving of ribbons" looked like shit? Friggin loops of ribbon were hanging out along the side of one boob, for crying out loud. It was a great idea, but poorly executed. And what woman wants to wear friggin huge hips? Hello! Didn't you JUST critique Haven for doing that last week? Not to mention the fact that his dress was almost a direct rip off of one of the dresses from PR last season (one of squircangle's maybe?). Kenley or doubleshirt should have won.
I wish Wednesday would have had more time because I would have been interested in seeing what the dress should have been. I bet it would have been cute. There are just certain fabrics that have to be worked carefully. She doomed herself with her fabric choices.
Thanks for another funny recap, Flip!

"shouldn't have one"... um.. apparently I should have drank more coffee before posting!

I don't watch this show, just read your recaps because I
This can't be real. There is no way these people are really in fashion in ANY sort of way. I'm waiting for the big Punk'd finale to happen. Mother of god....

Fave quote-They should do a remake of Curly Sue starring Merlin. He could be adopted by Diane von Fürstenberg or some shit.

Thanks, Flipit, for the great snarky review! Your comments on the vegan shoes (and chubby vegan shoe creator) had me ROTFLMAO!! I don't want shoes I can turn into a salad, thankyouverymuch. Although I guess edible shoes would have come in handy at Donner's Pass....
Reco's 'tude is quite annoying, but like you I hope he lasts awhile. Same thing for Merlin if only for entertainment purposes. I think this show will be more fun now that they are not working in teams.
Thanks for the giggles!

Ahhh...Chris March my favorite Fashion Bear...I wish he would make me a hair extension dress. I'd were it with the ho-shoes Rico picked out. Me and Tim Gunn could go to the prom. Sigh.

Not B gets back from Not tour just in time to Not impress us with her knowledge of percentages . . . .I keeed, she seems sweet enough, but my dear Flip it, I am loving all the riffs here!!!
So, so , so much fug . . . Haven's was so hideous, it may have been worse than Underoo, but I couldn't stand another second of his imposter sweating.
Anyone who sleeps during this is an ass, who likes to eat his own fist. Looked like a Rhianna video to me . . . Love, love, loved Kenley's shoes . . . . damn I's havin' me some gam envy--why can't men wear high heels too . . . waaaaa . . .
the critiques are beyond, I mean the Tim Gunn's (interesting dream, Snootch) are pathetic, and it's misleading . . . I felt for Kenley there . . . she should have padded the model a tad, I'm sure that would have helped with the fit.
Still can't stand to look at MexiJay . . . why so repellent, I can't say . . .but seriously, what does she do with that hair when it's not a pom-pom? Is it one of those clip in pom-pom's, or does her hair flow softly when elastics come out? Lawd, I really don't want to know.
I did think the comment about what your friends dress you in before they set you on fire was about cremation, and therefore, hilarious!!!
So Flip, when the sequel to SATC comes out, I'll find some knock-offs of the Kenley shoe in plastic and join you on the red carpet! K?

At least now we know why Bravo fought so hard to keep Project Runway.

Holy SHITE you're funny, Flip. Criminey. I haven't even gone on to page two yet and I'm laughing my ARSE off over here. Your whole vegan rant really tickled my funny bone, especially this: "They're most likely still made by ten year old Chinese peasants in sweat shops for ten cents a day, but as long as the cows don't get hurt feelings."
And I know why the vegan chick is always fat: pasta, potatoes, chips, cookies...all can be vegan-friendly foods and all are loaded with sugar and other crap. Give me meat anyday. Olsen biatch wishes she could have some jerky -- although, her shoes may fit the bill?
Okay, off to merrily read page two of your awesomely hilarious recap.

As an aside... Just saw a pic of Paris Hilton wearing the boots that Reco used.

Sorry if this is already mentioned, but you do know that the All-American shoes Angel had to design for were from none other than Stella MacCartney.
You know, the fabulously untalented designer that all the celebs suck up to and would be out on the streets collecting cans to pay the rent if her father wasn't a Beatle fashion designer.

Either the "Nightmare Before Christmas" comment was pulled from the air or NotB isn't the only person who is
clueless. "Corpse Bride" is the movie with the tattered wedding dress.
