Straight Guy had the brown fabric, and his work doesn't come off as bad as Wesley's. Cheap and mostly wearable in a fake Prada-ed and spike heeled rent a ho kind of a way, but at least he sewed his tacky vision correctly. Suede follows him, and the red and cream strips of fabric are actually all sewn together. I am impressed cuz I din't think he'd make it. That's a lot of fug sewn to one girl. It could be an homage to pizza, but Tia looks like an illustrated model from one of those cough syrup commercials where the insides of a person's body is shown so you can see the medicine go down. On her way to prom. In Mexico. Kensley's work is classic, sleek and chic. Her model looks like a screen diva from the black and white days. Even the clown collar works. She's definitely got the 50's down. I just wish she'd take it out of her hair.
Kelli followed her awesome filter dress from last week with what looks like a circus unitard/mini. The challenge was cocktail dress, not cocktail waitress uniform. At a Cirque Du Soleil show. She knows it kinda sucks, which makes me like her more. I also like to see her blink one eye in anger and disappointment. Leanne's poor model looks like she got caught in a shiny shit brown squircangle storm. When in doubt, smash a cupcake into the side of your model's head. Stella's work is much better than last week's. It's a skin tight cream colored satin dress missing an arm. It's laced up the side, which I suppose makes it hip and urban. It's good to see Stella not fuck up so bad this time, but it was definitely more fun when her model looked like she was thrown into a compacter.
Blayne made a weird hot pink sports dress with black sides and a pashmina wrap. WTF? It's pointless and unattractive, but there were people who sucked more than he did, so we'll have at least another week of licious. I just hope we have another week of him calling Stella leather face. Earn your keep, freak. Emily made the second long in back short in front skirt of the week, and it doesn't come off any better than Daniel's did. Hers has a cream colored bustier top with uneven bulky braids that's way too small for her model. And she accentuated with a chile pepper necklace. At least I think that's what they are. They make me think of what Stella's fingers would look like by now if she hadn't ingested the black vitamin sludge.
Korto's dress is pleat fug and fits her model really poorly. The hair is Gloria Estefan in her Sound Machine days and the neckpiece is one of the most dangerous ones I've seen. Are those twigs strung together? I think that hurting a tree in a green challenge should get her disqualified. If this model falls, she's gonna be impaled. Goal achieved, though. Her ass does look bigger. Conrats, Korto!
Keith, Terri, Jerrel, Jennifer, Daniel, Straight Guy, Kelli, Blayne and Emily are safe. Yikes. Weak week. Nina likes Kenley's work and Kors compliments the weird net belt. Maybe the Judges need to get closer. Natalie compliments Wesley's boe tie thingy, but that's about it. The other Judges hate it and Nina goes as far as calling it cheap. Kors likes Stella's attitude and lacing, and Natalie compliments the fit but isn't into the style.
Natalie calls Korto out on her dress looking inside out and Kors said not even curvy girls want fins on their butts. LOL. Natalie loves Suede's human muscle dissection, which kinda blows any credibility she had with me. Not that she had much. I'm still not over the vegan shoes bs. Nina says it was creative and it looks like it took a lot of work. EW. That shit is hideous. Leanne is called out on her wack squircangle dress, and even her model disses it, saying it's not what she imagined. Poor dumb model. She's buhbye. No one wants a tattle tale. We all wanna read Scott McClellan's book, but would you hire that fool?
D. Kors' white chin and orange face.

Okay, "squircangle" is my new favorite word to replace "Holla" and "cuul"! *snap* *snap* Flipit, you PEED, gurl!
love, J-Mo :)

Hey Flipit, sooo glad your recapping PR (fav show/fav recapper). I have a question though, on the poll, I could have sworn that Suede's talking in the third person recieved 47% of the votes, yet they circled the first one (tanolishous) with 30-something percent. Did I see it wrong, or did they make a boo boo? Let me know.

Awesome as usual, Flipit!
3 of 21 | Posted by Clair | Posted on July 24, 2008 8:59 AM
flip, please call Suede "Pleather" from here on!! LOL. Love.
I thought the same thing about Stella's model buying the fabric: like she could do any worse!
And featherhead, you are correct. I caught that too.

Glad Shorts is gone. He was such a bore.

Great work as usual - and kudos for getting done so FAST! Tim Gunn would be impressed.
Your Scott McClellan line stole the entire recap - well played.

Maybe Suede's dress looked better in person because I honestly did not like it.
I also noticed in one of the interviews that Stella looked a lot better with the right make-up... I'm sure they'll do a montage of her talking about leather on the reunion show near the end.

I will never get tired of Project Runway as long as I have these recaps to look forward to the day after. And so fast!
I looked up Holla in some online dictionary and found out it's something guys say to hot girls (that being not me) when they want to hook up later. So that's why I've never heard it before...
You keep calling Blayne Bryce, Flipit. Given that Blayne looks just as sun-damaged and wind-eroded as Bryce Canyon, it's understandable.
I'd call Suede Polyester, but I like John Waters too much to do that to him. But I liked his dress yesterday, so ouch.
And J-Mo, given the geniuses on SG this year, they are bound to cut someone's hair in the shape of a squircangle yet...

Flip it, You are too good to us!!!!! thanks again for gitin' it right out there!!!! Too funny about Tim losing it, on the show and here, I did always wonder about those deadlines and whether there was some wiggle room . . .
I thought Keith's Scarlett Ohara curtain dress in cream was pretty fug, and moved funny, and I confess, the whole time I thought Bluehawk, I mean Pleather was toast, way too much screen time for him not to go, and they hardly showed short-shorts the whole time! I did think blank white girl with the inspired squircangle's was a goner too, she did say she thought she might win, and calling it a school project was LOW!!!!
Leathah is entertaining to me, for the most part, must be the Lawng Eyland accent, glad she pulled one out, and even licious managed to not suck--glad his model didn't pick diaper material!
Independent Eyes Terri was meh this time, but I'm still seeing her as front runner. Like Betty Page and Korto too!
Oh, and Flip, on your "Did the gays give permission?" question, I often wonder those things too, and what is the ruling on Mohawks, and Fauxhawks, and should I tuck half my shirt in now, or all, or leave it out . . . eh, I'll just suck so I don't have to think so hard . . . but do let me know what you discover on the rats tails . . . soooo Aimee Mann from Til Tuesday!

Thanks Flipit,
I still love you with all of my heart, but I'm not loving PR. This is my favorite show, but I'm having trouble getting into this season. These people are NOT appealing!! Please tell me it'll get better, please!
Oh, and yes, featherhead, they did make a mistake with the text poll... it was the third person talking Suede, not the tanorexic Bryce/Blayne who won that one. I guess Bravo with pulling for that leathery loser.
Love,
Michigan

Great recap as usual..but one thing.. People named Tia are the bestest, most specialist, most beautiful people in the world :0) Just so you know. And not just because my name is Tia too!!!!!

Flipit, you rocked with "squircangle" - although I do prefer them to the freakin' rosettes! No more ROSETTES, ever!!
As for rooting for who to lose, maybe we need a Vote For The Worst Designer website?
I hated Microfibre's dress as well ... and as for selling it on BlueFly.com ... maybe that's why that bitch is walking around airports and weddings naked - all she has to choose from is his horrible dress.
Keep up the good work!!

I can't tell whether the independent eye thing is a sign of severe alcoholism or just plain magic, but either way I'm in favor of it.
I rewound a few times to LOL and to get some direct quotes for this recap, but all I could really hear was that sound chocolate milk makes when you blow bubbles into it through a straw.
LOL! Loves it!
First time commenter, long time reader. Love the recaps!

He said he's salty, not saucy. It means mad that his model was stolen.

I can't remember which "designer" (I use the term loosely this season) it was that said it, but did anyone else notice how when they said Natalie Portman's company made vegan shoes, that whoever it was said they use material like leather? Really??? You think a vegan company uses leather. Interesting...
Also, has anyone else notice how in the commercial for the show, Heidi says something to the effect of "What else is there to watch?" What marketing...

I had to post here for the very first time because I have been reading this and every time I ran across the word "squircangle" I nearly collapsed in fits of laughter. Thanks for the laugh and keep it up!

Love love love the recaps, Flipit :).
User Name: The designer said faux leathers and such.

Isn't faux leather a fancy word for plastic?

I was wondering what the fuck was going on through Korto's head when she said "Women from both of these countries have big butts..." WTF?? When did AFRICA turn into a country? It's one thing when other people say it, but why would an AFRICAN say that?? I don't remember which country she said she was from, but I'm imagining she knows... (Gigantic pet peeve of mine...I actually had an argument in 7th grade about whether or not "African" was a nationality.)
Me: African is not a nationality.
Fucking idiot: Yes it is.
Me: No, it's not.
FI: YEAH, it is!!
Me: Do you know what NATIONALITY means?? Africa is not a NATION. AFRICAN is NOT A NATIONALITY.
FI: ...

I loved how Nina said the fastest way to look cheap was to wear short, tight, shiny dresses .... right after Heidi had come out in a short, tight, somewhat shiny dark chocolate dress that looked a little cheap.
I know lots of people love Natalie Portman, but really. WTF does she know about fashion and dress manufacture exactly?
We had started calling Suede "Naugahyde" around here but Pleather probably works better. Less syllables and easier to spell.
Love the recaps!!

I know I'm late, but great recap, Flipit!
There's something really off about this season (even beyond %'s not adding up to 100%), but it's still better than most things on the old TV.
One point of disagreement, I kind of like Suede's dress. (I know!) While I thought Tim was insane when it was just a pile of craziness & he was, like, praising it, I thought the final product was actually OK! At least after a couple of glasses of wine & some intentional blurring of the eyes. But, maaaaan, is Bluefly *bleeped*. How would they even replicate that?
