This week on Fashion Show, Kenley prays and Satan answers.
So last night I was wanting to EAT because I am on a mother f ing diet, so I watched Iron Chef. Guess who was the guest judge? Eyesack! We often complain here that he doesn't have any useful critiques to share, and this is fashion so he should have something. Well you should see his ass with food. "Um...I liked it ok, but maybe you could have been more creative or something?" LOL. He looked lost, and even made a Brokeback Mountain joke. Did you know he has like ten jobs or some shit? Take a nap, Eyesack! You're mumbling is doing no one any good. He was wearing a weird grey jacket thing, which I guess means that his fashion statement for the year is GREY. GREY! I SEE THE WORLD IN GREEEEEYYYY!!!
Ok that had nothing to do with anything, but it's good to know he's phoning it on other shows too and not just this one. It feels less offensive that way. And now let's work out together.
We open with Merlin asking Mexican Jay "How do you sleep?" I would take this to mean "How do you sleep at night, you stank ass homeless hack?" if I were him, but MexiJay says he slept just fine, thank you very much. He is so refreshed that he doesn't need to shower today. Or ever.
Merlin is wearing red tights, a sweater dress, his belt/turban unit, and a pancho while he talks on a purple cell phone. The thing is, there is so much wrong happening within the first ten seconds that it's pointless to write it down. I will just show you.
I read crossword pozzle.
I want to make vote for Lamberrrt.
Tax Haven has become a politician's wife. In 1983.
Why is Not Beyonce wearing a takeout container as a skirt? Is she competing now?
Flashbacks to the stupid fight last week. Reco didn't stab Kenley, so to me the whole thing was meaningless. Not B calls Merlin on his special purple fairy phone and tells him where to take the designers for the Haaaarper's Bazzazaaa mini-challenge. I wish she would force them into a Harper's Island mini-challenge. This show would be way better with some amputations and axes to chests.
No Gilteee!
The designers go to meet Not B and Laura Brown in a big loft/office space and find out that today's challenge will be done in pairs! YAAAYYY!!! They pick thread colors to pair up. Wednesday Addams and James Pole are together, MexiJay and Merlin pick each other, and Merlin is worried. He at least acts happy about it. MexiJay? Not so much. He whines "greeeat!" Uh, you're paired with the guy who won last week when you were almost sent back to Bedrcock, PigPen. Be nice.
Haven and Ana the Yarn Lady are paired, which is good cuz maybe Yarn can move her lesbian crush off of Kenley and onto Haven, which would be way more entertaining to watch. That leaves Reco with Kenley! LOL. So. Rigged. I tried to find the little midget under the table putting thread in the magic bag, but I couldn't see anything. Still, that's too good to not be forced. They give each other dirty looks and then Reco hugs her. Way too hard. She starts "ow"ing. Break her! Break her! This could get ugly.
Wow. That was fast.
Laura introduces the Haaarpaas Bazaaaa interns, who partied hard last night and didn't have a chance to go home and change before work. EW. They must have been at a 24 hour diner between the hours of 4 and 7 AM, cuz you know these homely skanks didn't get laid. There's a guest judge for this challenge, and it's the girl from Ugly Betty. Not America, the little skinny mean one. She comes out wearing a black dress with junk all up on the hips. Why do skinny people insist on purposely looking fat? Are they jealous of the rest of us, or are they just too depleted minerally to know what they're putting on?
I'm going with minerally challenged. Mostly cuz I want to type minerally a lot and see if I can turn it into a real word.

I'm starting a petition to have Webster's add "minerally" to the dictionary. Good word.
Since the clothes on this show are incredibad, I don't care who goes home as long as it's not Men on Film Reco or The Incredible Flaming Merlin. Those 2 are pure comedy gold.

Haven't seen the episode yet, so I'm only going off the screen grabs, but I have to ask. Are those CORN DOGS on the collar of the Haven/Yarn Lady monstrosity?

OMG OMG OMG - "Das from a story called Art of Whore" - Flipit, you keel me (in the words of Merlin).
I was all set to call my eye doctor when everyone was gushing about Yarn Lady and Tax Haven's wonderful outfit. To me, it looked like the model was dressed in the dark. Glad to see you also thought it was fug. All the outfits this week were pretty bad. I did love the Reco/Kenley drama, putting them together was genius.
And may I ask WTH Fern was wearing? It looked like nurse's scrubs to me. It amazes me that the judges often look worse than the models - and on this show that is quite the accomplishment.
So many good laughs Flipit - the girls in the diner, the dodo bird hair. Thanks so much for the hilarious recap. xoxo

Ugh, as much as I would've loved to see Kenley get the boot, Lydia really tripped up this week.
Gotta give props to Reco. I would've beat the bitch's ass by now.

Personally, I didn't think either of the top two looks was that bad... if you were going for a high fashion/sophisticated look. They absolutely wouldn't work if you were looking for something to wear to Walmart. ;-) And I think they did capture the essence of Mizrahi's designs. I don't love everything he does, but some of it is nice. He did some stuff for Liz Claiborne this year that are gorge! Anyone who would like to purchase the orange silk dress from that collection for me, please leave me a message. :p
I don't get why you guys all hate Kenley more than Reco. They are both assholes, but he really is the bigger asshole. Just because his speech impediment and lack of understanding of the english language causes him to say funny shit, it doesn't make him less of an asshole. He has thrown WAY more tantrums and egotrips than anyone else on the show. And he has talked more trash than anyone else on the show. Plus, I thought that Kenley was trying to make up with him at the end of the show and he just acted like a spiteful bitch.
Love you, Flip! Thank you for another great recap! *mwah*

Actually, that dude Andrew Zimmern on Bizarre Foods (the one where he eats bugs and organs and awful stuff while traveling all over the world) uses the word 'minerally' all the time when he describes some of the weird stuff he eats - especially organs.
Keep up the good work. Love your recapp'n!

P.S. Flipit - I also saw Eyesack on Iron Chef! Totally agree his opinions were lukewarm and useless.

Flip, you slay me. I was busting a gut when I read the "It's Eyesack! Dressed like Amelia Earhart on an Entenmann's binge."
Other great lines:
I wonder how Sun Tzu would feel about being misquoted by a flaming stripper designer.
Das from a story call "Art of Whore", okaaay?
"Goodbye! I'm gonna ride over her on the retarded bus and then back up." The cute thing is that he put himself on the retarded bus.
This show is sooooo bad, but I just can't wait to watch it so I can read your review!

Does anyone else think that Merlin is what Sanjaya will look like in 20 years?

Speaking of Merlin, has anyone noticed how much he has transformed? When he first came on the show he was insulting people and very flamboyant. Now he is like a little puppy that you want to cuddle. I didn't like him at first but now he is one of my favorites.

you guys are hilarious! I lol reading the comments as much as the fab commentary. Men on film can talk all the trash he wants he's created some of the most wearable garments on the show in record time too-and that's saying alot. this show is a hot mess but I watch for the great recaps:)

My favorite line: "They're called points. Count 'em." I've been laughing over that all afternoon. It's helping to take my mind off the fact that I only have ten points left and it's 1:45. Curse you, Florine Marks!
Thanks for the entertaining read!

Oh Flip it!!! You're such a joyous read, even on a disaster like this show . . . I agree with all the call outs in the comments, and one of my faves, untcay should be lead into with an "an" not "a" (just kidding . . . you know I'm typo queen . . . hee . . .
I think Andrew Zimmerman is adorable, but kissing a man with that bug breath . . .
Snotchy, I agree that Kenley was trying to make peace, and also, that she took responsibility was refreshing--those diaper pants were the worst--could she not see that!?
I thought Reco's top was the best piece of the night, also liked the two coats, sans the redonk african buttons . . .
I do think they all sucked coz they were trying to be eyesacks who I'm not impressed with the hodge podge looks from. . .
I actually liked Veronica and i think she'd be better than NOTB, not that I hate NotB, she's just not a fashion anything . . .
Ah well, as much as I protest, I go through loops to watch this shit!
Smootches . . .

I kept laughing at the Martha Stewart gal because 'culotte' actually means 'panties' over here...
I can't stand Merlin. He just disgusts me. I'm convinced the inside of his mouth is permanently coated with a fuzz of E.coli and that's where the accent comes from. And those STUPID STUPID clothes he wears. He's one of those people who make me wish for true interactive television where I can reach inside the screen and squeeze him until he pops like the zit he is.
That JamesPoll idiot savant is another one -- what about that IDIOTIC jacket he was wearing during the eliminations?
I agree that Reco's definitely the most annoying of the two. He's always trash-talking everyone else.
I suspect that Kenley's just getting the bitch edit.

If I ever get rich and need a lawn jockey I'm hiring Merlin. He already has the outfit.

Don't hold back now, Itchy. Tell us what you really feel!
I just love little Merlin. He is a cutey and seems sweet, too. I think he started off flamboyant and bitchy because that was what he thought (or had been told) was expected, but as he has gotten more exhausted and stressed out, the real person has shone through.
Besides, I thought his "male domination" comment was totally in jest.

I'm pretty sure Merlin is "in it to win it." I think one of the prizes is a year worth of Botox.
