Sweet P and Elisa, however, are not hitting it off so well. P stays quiet while Elisa hand measures her and plans her latest stretch jail by placing fabric all over her, but she can't keep quiet when Elisa licks her coochie and leaves a wet spot. WTF? Elisa shrugs and says it's just spit. Sweet P, violated, asks why in the world Elisa would feel the need to stick her tongue out on her crotch. Why, to mark it and "imbibe it with energy and essense", of course! If I had Season 3 Vincent's phone number, I'd call him up right now and thank him for being such a rational thinker.
So, Ricky, how do you feel about getting to design an outfit that Sarah Jessica Parker will see? Sob sob wah wah squirt squirt. JC Superstar, this is just not right. No one's that much of a little girl. I've seen a lot of people who cry uncontrollably for no reason, and they've all been going through the same thing.
Withdrawals.
Whatever this freak is addicted to, someone please get him some. I'm gay as day and this fool's making me wanna find some drunk frat boys to go queer baiting with. This is not good for our kind. A much better example for the mos, Monsieur Tim Gunn, arrives just in time to calm me down. Phew. Back in the closet you go, baseball bat.
Tim checks on the palest couple in the world first. Marion stares sadly into space as he shows Tim the multiple pieces for his intricate skirt, and Tim joins Steven in worrying about the time. Their look is shaping up to be brown and sweater dress-y, which SJP could love if they pull it off. I would say cheer up, Marion, but I know the kid's just not built that way.
Tim wholeheartedly approves of Victorya and the straight guy's black shirt dress with a plaid vest, but I say BORE SNORE AND SEVEN YEARS AGO. Next stop is at Elisa and Sweat P's table.
Tim tells Elisa that her idea of hand rolling and cast stitching every edge of her dress is coo coo. HAHAAAAA. Sweet P laughs too, glad to have someone on her side. Elisa is starting to get ruffled because no one appreciates her "methods" and tells us that she's so confident in what she's doing that she's going to take every bit of advice she gets and abandon her vision. Umkay. Sweet P takes over and starts with the simple things, like showing Elisa how to use a pencil instead of spit. Just as she sits down at the sewing machine, thinking she has everything under control, Sweet P sees Elisa "working".
Tzeitel, oh Tzeitel, have I got a match for you!
The next morning as they get dressed for the day, Kit Pistol politely asks the others how crazy Elisa can make it past today without knowing how to use a sewing machine. Hey, I've got a question for you, Kit Pistol. Who died and made you Ellie May Clampett?
Back at the work room, the designers are given an hour to fit and prep their models, and almost everyone has achieved their goals in the paltry eight hours. Even Sweet P is confident that she's hidden enough of Elisa's handmade flaws to have a chance at winning. Elisa says their collaboration has "produced a marriage of what I've been seeking out." Oooh, did you creatively visualize this moment? Watch out, Dalai Lama.
Marion and Steven, though, hit a bump in their relationship. Their dress looks like Stevie Knicks instantly lost thirty pounds and didn't bother buying skinny clothes. Come on, Marion! Pancho aside, I like you! Pull through!
Christian and Carmen are finished way early, both confident that they have the best outfit. Christian says that he will probably make it to the final two again. "Nope, sorry, we're gonna go with someone boring." HA. I'm falling in friend love. Time's up! Heidi greets the designers on the runway, and I wonder how bad her kids are gonna get yelled at for bedazzling mommy's work clothes.
"Henry Günther Ademola Dashtu Samuel, get your schnitzel down here right now!"
Kit's short sweater dress is way more boring than her sketch. I had a sixty year old landlord with 18 cats that wore almost the exact same thing every day. I know that's a random reference, but it's true. And disturbing. Dear Ellie Mae, let the beret renaissance go already. Heart, Flipit.

LOL...sad squiggy!
Flipit, Thanks for the good laugh. I laughed out loud so often that my husband thought I was losing my mind.
What a great writer you are...really special around here. Salute.

Loved your FIDDLER screencap. I laughed out loud.
Also, I think that Nina Garcia might have been pregnant or nursing when this was filmed. Maybe that's why she shows no signs of the botox.

I love reading the recaps, so I finally registered because I have to share what I know... regarding the be-hatted crying Ricky, I have worked with him. He conveniently left out all of his career experience when he vaguely interviewed, "I came to NY to dance, and well... I ended up with my own lingerie collection". He did not mention the years of working for other people, designing a licensed collection, and walking off that job literally an hour before he was fired. Another big scandal ensued at his next company, and I heard he was threatened with a giant lawsuit for certain conduct at that job. He showed his collection at a trade show, received small orders, and promptly went out of business. The next I heard of him, he resurfaced on this show! I have to wonder if the Bravo producers did any sort of background check on the people they choose to have on the show... beyond the mess that is his career, he is a nasty spiteful person with horrible taste- both these facts were the reason he was about to be canned before he walked off that first job I mentioned (with no notice- very classy). I told several coworkers that he's on the show, and were so thrilled he was in the bottom three the first episode! One more thing- those are purely crocodile tears being squeezed out for the camera.

Hey Flippy!!!! So nice to start my return to work with your refreshing dish! I wasn't hating on Ricky . . . but now . . . well, I think I'm buying what you're selling flipit--withdrawing . . . I know I weep my ass off when I'm out of clean needles--and forget that spoon burning shit . . . I need ready to shoot!!!
Very ho-hum fashion this week, for me, I was confronted at the water cooler and I had to squeeze my little brain to remember anything, other than top 2 and last. Are capes in!? I thought leggings were a fashion don't . . . they certainly are in my world! (unless accompanied by fishnets!)
Something about that Steven guy was bugging me . . . next to go!?

"No, God Complex, it's a hypothetical. Christian gives her permission to say he should go since it was his design and she squeezes out some salt as she chokes "him."
I started coughing I laughed so hard at that. My little sister and I are sooo on the same page. I looked at her and she said "Jeez calm down, she's asking who you want to go home not the gas chamber."

Great recap!!
I learned two new things from this episode. 1. Steven might be a serial killer. Or Art Garfunkel's cousin. 2. Sarah Jessica Parker has far less fashion sense than most people give her credit for.

so I went to S&B to buy the winner dress and vest (not to wear together, me being in the Midwest, we don't typically mix and match like that). Anyhoo - the dress is there in plum and black - v cute. But, it is SO shorty - would definitely need pants for fear of showing your Britney. And, without the vest, it is very shapeless - so I sort of looked like I had the shape of a purple pumpking. With the vest on, it was much more flattering. The jury is still out on if I would purchase, but thought I would give you my 2 cents...

Steven's nickname should be Slingblade.

This recap was truely excellent. I spit out a peice of cake when I read the Elisa cootchie licking bit.
I want to add some other factoids though. Steven does have a super crazy way of speaking, but he's no Slingblade. As someone who's dated him he's totally hot in real life, and probably much better looking than anyone who is sitting around home so much that the think using "Slingblade"as a pejorative is still a viable as comedy. Also Steven works at a museum, but one hastens to add, he's a secretary at that museum- not an exhibit maker. Word to your mother!

Steven and Jazzhands sittin in a tree...:)

Jazzhands-
Yeah, you're right. It was a stupid comment and a dated reference at that. Just a note of caution, though: if there is anything tougher than the world of reality television, it's the blogs about reality television. Much tougher than what you've probably run into while dating museum secretaries. Be prepared for your ex and his fellow contestants to be savaged weekly. First by each other and next by the blog commentators. The judges remarks will be the least painful things they hear each day. Have fun.
