Ok, finally the pretty model comes down the runway in...a black jacket with poofy sleeves. Ooooh, look! A blouse! With see thru arms and a giant turtleneck. I am also noticing that every model so far has been in skin tight stretch pants. Hmmmm. Maybe practice pant sewing? And now for another black...not a jacket. It's a coat. Holla! And wow. Where did he find so many huge hideous hats?
Next, a black jacket and a huge hat, but this time there's a twist. The model is wearing that giant poofy cream colored neck piece. I am surprised she didn't fall over from not being able to see. She looks like a really old, really rich, really pissed of turkey.
Finally, a real live blouse. It's the same pattern as his jackets, complete with high collar, but it's very pretty and the model is the first who's not wearing stretch pants. OMG ROBIN HOOD! LOL what the hell was he thinking? I'm sorry, you know I'm rooting for Christian today, but come on. That outfit is ridonk. I'd give that girl a piece of candy if I saw her just to make sure she didn't trick me.
And now, since he's already made so many poofy shirts, he takes it to the next level and makes an extremely poofy shirt. Well done. Doesn't look like anything else you've made every single week for three months. When I was a kid, my Meemaw used to hand me a wad of Kleenex and a rubber band and tell me to make a flower out of it. That's what the next model looks like. Oh no wait. No she doesn't. She looks like a feather duster with a belt on.
For his finale, to show us that he's a grown up and no longer an immature child, he kills Big Bird and publicly flaunts his former casing. Awwwwww. Posh spice excitedly whispers to Kors when she sees this, and I scream "I DARE YOU TO BUY IT, DUMBASS!" at the TV. Please God, let Posh show up somewhere wearing Big Bird's carcass.
The judges gather on in the studio to dish about the show before calling the designers in to get their critiques. Posh refuses to smile, but she looks like a little girl that is being tickled and is trying not to laugh. Whatevs. Stop taking yourself so seriously. You're a fucking Spice Girl.
Turns out Posh is here today because she has her own line of clothes! So you might think I'm totally wrong in suggesting she's a ridiculous choice for a guest judge. Well, Jessica Simpson is a spokesperson for Procactiv. Doesn't mean she isn't a crater face. Anyhoooooooo....
Jillian tells the judges that she was inspired by their final challenge at the museum, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief that the last challenge wasn't the prom dresses for fug teenagers one. Everyone liked her work and Posh loved her attention to detail. Kors, kinda shrugging, says that it's wearable. God forbid someone should actually wear something they see on a runway. Nina thinks she's talented but bore snore.
Christian is next and everyone loves him. Especially posh. She said that his clothes are totally her style. Only to Christian would this be a compliment. Nina says he's repetitive and heavy handed, and Kors liked the two toned dress at the end, because it made him feel like his two toned face was in fashion. Heidi loves Christian's work, but she doesn't appreciate his lack of fierceness today. Thank you!
Who tie dyed Kors' face?
Rami says that his inspiration was Joan of Arc. Oh, that wacky Joan of Arc with her hot pink and her fake hips, she was such a nut! Wasn't she the one who said she heard voices? All I can see is Rami pacing back and forth in his studio listening to an invisible Jessica Alba instruct him on what to do next. Everyone digs his woven stuff and his evening wear, but Kors calls him out on his hideous Brady Bunch colors. LOL.
The judges take some alone time to discuss and repeat themselves, and when Posh says that she would wear everything in Christian's line, Kors counters with "well not everyone is rich enough to leave the house dressed like an asshole and not get egged." Good point.
The designers are brought back out and Heidi tells Jillian that her mother's psychic was wrong. Buhbye. So now it's between Rami and Christian, and Christian is crying! Awwwww! Who told him mullets were lame? Don't listen to them, buddy! You're doing great! And he wins!! HOLLA!!!

Did you see that one of Jillian's models was Yentl? YAY!

I am pretty sure that one of Jillian's models was Jaslene from America's Next Top Model. I was glad that Christian won, but where did those feather pants go? I guess he listened to Tim on that one. I really liked Rami's outfits, the weaving was awesome, the colors did suck though and Jillian's line I didn't like at all. So it was between Rami and Christian for me. And when Christian won, I cryed a little too!!

Thanks for the recap. I enjoy your spin on the show (not to mention your clever and funny choice of words). The day before the Finale, there weren't many routing for Christian, but I see the wagon is FULL!! I have watched all 4 seasons and truly believe the talent (as a group) was the best. In addition, there was a lot more personality with this bunch. I hate the season is over and hope Christian doesn't fall into a black hole like other winners. Again, congratulations, Christian with your FIERCE A#$!!!

Awesome recap, Flipit! I LOLed at several points.
Did anyone fear that they were going to give it to Rami?? Ack. I was all ready to throw things & scream at the TV. Thank G*d. Now Christian can upgrade from a closet to a pantry, maybe.
In the end -- seeing it live (although I only watched it once), I really kind of liked Jillian's collection. She should have come in 2nd. I don't care what Jessica Alba says.
:) Love, Lime
P.S. We did tell you about Baldhawk, my man.

Lime23 - I also thought they were going to give it to Rami. When Christian's lip was quivering at the end it was so cute. I just wanted to give him a hug. I thought it was nice that he got nervous and tongue tied. I did think his final collection was repetitive of what he did all season, but I still think he deserved to win. I also think he was really lucky that Posh was the guest judge. I want to be friends with Christian!!

FYI...Christian's ink is a squid and has been there the entire season. It's perhaps more apparent due to his shrunken hair. Do you suppose he gave his extra hair to Chris???
7 of 17 | Posted by busterdog | Posted on March 7, 2008 9:20 AM
Christian wasn't my personal pick, but when I saw him living and working in that little cubbyhole, my heart went out to him, and I cheered him at the end. I am wondering about the squid, though -- is there some deep symbolism there, or was he just drunk?

OH Flipit...you are the best. I loved the recap...it was FIERCE...LOL
Christian so deserved to win. Until next season...

I love love loved this season. And I'm so happy Christian won. I did think they would give it to Rami and was screaming "nooo" at my tv. Thank god that didn't happen.
I think Christian is bound to be huge. He has amazing talent for being only 21 and has many many years ahead of him to perfect his style.

okay, I totally think Jillian and Rami were hooking up during the show. Anyone else with me?
I guess I'm glad Christian won...he really was uber-annoying, and he kinda made the same thing over and over, but he is talented.
and yes, featherhead, that WAS Jaslene.

I still think Chris would have won if he'd been in the top 3, but I'm glad it went to Christian, esp coz of the cubby hole apt! Didn't look like Jillian or Rami were hurting for cash . . . . and fycin--silly, Rami's gay like me, I don't think he was anything with Jillian but annoyed.
Christian will be the first winner hawking products that I might enjoy seeing . . .
With that smug little smile on Rami's face, I totally thought he was with me and some of you thinking he had the win. As I said earlier, I saw some misses in those collections, esp the riding pants lines. I also thought all the feather stuff was completely redonk! I was howling at them when I saw the stills, just goes to show what I know about fashion . . .
Over all, I had a majah good time with these recaps and all the comments!!!! Take care all, and maybe I'll see ya on the top chef caps!!!!

juddfan -- really? I thought at first he was gay too but there just seemed to be something else going on.... oh well, what do I know, maybe the accent threw me.

Just had to say goodbye Flipit. You are seriously funny and deserve to have your blogs turned in to a feature film just like Diablo Cody. Fingers crossed.
I'm glad Christian won, I guess. He is quite entertaining but a little bit sad. Like the strange boy everyone made fun of in high school and decides to just "fuck them all!" and become uber-queenie and mean- like "Mean Girls"! But God love him and I give him props for continuing to walk to the walk (literally- fierce!) and pursuing his dream.
Posh Spice is just bizarre looking. She doesn't smile because the entire top half of her face is frozen and if she moves too much all of the fill and implants will shift- no roller coasters for this girl, please! If you want some good Posh Spice bashing, watch any of the variety shows on BBC America. They hate her and it's funny. And a bit sad.

I was so glad that Christian won, the the effect that I was smiling the entire next day and still am!
He deserved to win, and is a prodigy. Plus, with all of his "fierce" and "fabulous", he seemed really genuine this last epi, and seems very grateful for the win in the post interviews!
Can't wait to see his collection in the fall!
15 of 17 | Posted by fnllover | Posted on March 10, 2008 11:22 AM
Hope it's not too crushing fycin, but yeah, he's a sister. Maybe Flip and I will do a secret mission to his studio, I heard on the pod cast it's near his house, so next time I go stalking, I'll knock . . . just kidding!!! I think somewhere it was even said he had a lover. And for the record, I only stalk Flip it here by reading and worshiping all his recaps! See ya on the 'gasm guys!

Hello to all. Did anyone see Christian on Ellen yesterday? He was his usual FIERCE self and indicated he already made a couple of outfits for Mrs Beckham. He also gave Ellen a sketch of a design (pants, of course) he made for her. She assured him if he made it, she would wear it. He said he was going to spend his money on a new collection for next year's Fashion Week. Let me know if anyone saw the show.
