She reminds the designers what the challenge was, which in case you forgot, was to "recycer car pats". Most of the designers have started dressing nicer for the runway show, but poor Pleather just can't find his way.
My dead gerbil told me to wear this in a dream. (kisses to Heaven. Tiny poop pellets thrown back down)
Kors is here and he's orange as ever, and instead of Nina, we get a classier bitch for one night only, Miss Laura Bennett from season 3. Sweet! LOVE HER. PS I still agree with her assessment that Sebelia is a big fat cheater, and that's why he was relegated to role of costumer on the Bratz movie before filing for welfare. Unfortunately, that still would have only put Laura in second place, but still. Good call, LO! The guest judge is a fashion editor named Rachel Zoe, who, wait for it, has a show coming out on Bravo! NO! That's nuts! What a great idea. Bravo has plugged Saturn and a new show in one night. It's no Hershey's challenge, but it's nice to see them putting in the old tasteless effort.
Hobosexi's "futuristic" look is the first down the runway. For some reason, he's had his model's hair styled into a really exaggerated Caesar's Palace cocktail waitress look, because I guess in the future there won't be any low doorways. My mom always insisted me and my sister make our Halloween costumes growing up, and we would have totally won tonight, at least over Jerell. The suede corset looks ok, but again, it's totally uneven, as are the metallic parts that he's sewn all over it. The skirt doesn't even have a straight hem, and I don't think it was the intention. The idea of this is good, and it might have worked...if it didn't. Anyway, there's not polka dots so good for him.
Keith made a khaki skirt and a simple prettyish summer top. HUH? The skirt is very badly pleated and bunches up all over the place and the top makes the model look like she's got a roll of fat coming out of her belt because Keith has done a weird quilting thing. It's not as furry as most of his work, but it still doesn't fit a woman's body right. Booooooo and yaaaaaayyy. He's sewn cargo netting on the back, and it looks like he sewed cargo netting on the back. Ooooh. Innovative. You totally deserve this more than anyone else who's ever been on this show. Terri made a pair of flares with a tight top. It's pretty simple and not high on the innovation scale, but she was going for a cheap biker ho look and she achieved it.
Kenley is next, and you won't ever believe this, but her look is from the fifties! If she hadn't ever done that before, it would be pretty amazing, but she has and it's really tired. Very well made though, and the filters and pencil skirt look great on her model. I hope she is safe but slapped upside the head with an Eckhart Tolle book and told to come into the now. Still, pretty.
Squircangle's model looks like a prostitute you know won't be in the biz long because she's got enormous child bearing hips. The top is pretty awesome though. She's used her funkily shaped seat belts as a trim to her bustier, and they look like feathers. Well done, Squirc! Pleather's outfit is a hit and a miss. He used rubber floor mats for his top, and they are cut really badly and are messy around the edges. His girl looks like...a floormat. But the skirt is pretty cool. It's made out of strips of sun visors and looks great and flows really well. Keith must be kicking himself right now.
CutToe's seat belt purse jacket turned out beautifully. She gave it a sixties cut and executed it perfectly. The shininess of the seat belts is really beautiful and of everything that's walked so far, it's the classiest and most wearable. She used seat belts, which are all over the place this week, so the judges might nitpick that, but she did it really well. Nice work! For some reason her model looks like she's gonna cry, though, and that's never good. And now, for an example of how seat belts can go very very wrong. Blayne looks like he paper mached his poor girl in seat belt and glued broken glass to her. She looks like a very dangerous car wash. The top would be gorgeous, if it fit or had any shape at all. My guess is that from the side, this girl is all boobies. Oh, Blayne.

Hey... I liked Suede's dress this week. It was shiny and moved great & Jan Smithers' dress would be perfect for my wide-ass hips!!
So happy Keith got dressed down by Michael. I'll never understand why these designers NEVER listen to Tim!
Great job as always Flipit!

awesome recap, you made me crap up a lot-- especially your photo captions!
Rachel Zoe is/was the stylists for Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Misha Barton...essentially she is known for making her clients starve themselves and then dressing them like street bums in oversized clothes.
I loved Korto's jacket but I was surprised that they didn't point out how many of the stylists used the easiest material (seat belts) for their outfits. I also thought Pleather's skirt was great, but he should have done the top with the leather seat cushions. And I LOVED Squircangle's outfit. I think she's pretty damn incredible with her ideas and fits. The challenge was supposed to be innovative so it didn't bother me about the big hips style...it looks so well made. I also liked Kenleys and how she went with the filters and colored on the pattern. Awesome.
I think the girls are the dominant ones this year. To me, my top 4 are Scuirc, Korto, Terri and Kenley. I like that Terri doesn't always just do a dress. She has the most variety, in my opinion.
I never thought I'd say this, but as ANNOYING as Blayne and the whole "licious" stuff is...I really like the kid. He seems to enjoy everyone and making them laugh.
And I enjoyed the whole Terri/Korto "Jeepers Creepers" bit b/c you can tell they are friends and Korto was totally taking it in stride. I thought it was funny. Then Jerrell had to go and ruin it!
Okay, I've babbled...great recap as usuaL!

OH MY GOD- I meant to say "You made me CRACK up" a lot... But "CRAP up" is pretty funny!!

Loved your recap as always. This is the first time I think the judges got it right both ways. I think pleather has forgotten that he wanted to talk about himself in 3rd person because he keeps forgetting to say Suede at every given chance. I agree with serjen the girls have it. These guys just aren't consistant enough. I think Korto FTW.

OMG - Love it!! This recap was awesome! This was my fav: "Right now Heaven's all LOLOLLLLLLL dickwad." Thank you for that Flipit, no seriously, I will think of that line everytime I get pissed because someone at a stoplight doesn't know that green means go, and I forget all the lessons I learned in anger management. Step 1: Think of something funny! Step 2: Don't get out of the car...
I feel like I've gone to crazy-town or something, I thought Hobosexi's outfit looked like ass - it was so short that I could see cooch, and made his model look sunken-in. I really liked Terri's look. Maybe just because it was different, but it was one of the first times I was like, I would so wear that!
Then there is Squircangle - I agree that top was fab, and it beautifully made - but the skirt looked like there were horns coming out of the model's thighs - like she was hiding 2 people's heads under there - I don't know.
Oh! One more thing - you totally nailed the Korto problem. During the show, I was all, "the seatbelt jacket looks cool, but something is just not right." It was the model - I wonder if her dad and grandpa died too? Like earlier that day?
Anywho - Thanks again! (and I decided to keep my user-name - mostly because last week some nice commenters said I should, also because I'm really F'ing lazy)

I'm going to have to change MY screen name. It's going to be spelled Millikrzyzynskquilourtuwaxabroughmipenivixylaciousness and will be pronounced "Mueh". Everybody who gets it wrong when addressing me is going to arouse seriously irate anger. I'm just sayin'. It's not like someone could be named "Kutto" instead of "Korto" or anything, but then again, the concept of "the silent r" has always given me trouble since grammar school...
Flipit you made me laugh so hard with the poo pellets raining down from heaven that I think *I* left a poo pellet of my own on the computer chair! You know, trotting out long-dead relatives for sympathy on reality shows is close to the lowest of the low for me. Next week it will be his great great great grandfather whom he never knew but whose death in 1847 still greatly depresses the Pleather of today. There will be more kisses to heaven, and just ONCE I would love to have a poltergeist conjure up a flying pair of scissors or something to cut that damned blue mohawk off! Or stab him somewhere non-lethal, like his ass.
Terri is lovely, I kinda want to see her and KUTTO in the finals together, too...
Great recap! You are loved!
love, J-Mo :)

Honestly, I've always thought Korto's model looks depressed at every runway show!

Flip, I think you meant to say... "there is, in fact, a God. And SHE is fabulous."

Hey Flip,
You are soooo amazing with these recaps flying at the speed of light!!!! Too funny, I love it when you're in that black mood, but if it's connected to your 30-something, well, happy 30 something anyway!!!! Big Hugs!!!
Loved the show, loved the materials, loved Squircangles dress, and I kinda liked Jerel's look too! I can't tell whose the frontrunner at this point, but lovin' me some Leatha--hope she goes far, even though that was a miss--did she not find her snaps?!
Terri's look rocked too, it was simple, but if those were seat belt pants, Bravo!!!

Another awesome (and awesomely fast recap) Flipit!
And OK, seriously? I just noticed for the first time last night that Hobosexual is only 28. 28!!! He looks in his 40s to me; perhaps he should warn Licous that this is what happens to people who tan incessantly.

Yawn. i would have been much more excited if they didn't already do this exact challenge on this season of Project Runway Australia. The designs were better there too, since a few of those contestants aren't talentless hacks.
11 of 17 | Posted by abaumga2 | Posted on August 28, 2008 4:11 PM
LOL! Loved the recap...and it came out soooo fast! (hint/hint J-Mo! lol)!
I couldn't believe when Pale Blayne called Tim, "Timlicious"! Very funny!
OK, I see everybody loves Cut-toe, but she likes to make those coats/ jackets, doesn't she?!
My guess is that next week StraightGuy goes back to his wife and kids!
Thanks for the great recap and pictures! :)

abaugma2 I was sooo gonna say that. And the designers didn't freak out, they were more excited that they got to do something creative. These people are such whiny bitches about it and the Australians were like, oh sweet we get to do something interesting.
Korto's was fab. I would seriously wear that coat as is.
And Tim totally giggled when Blayne called him "Timlicious". I think that is the only "licious" i have actually smiled at because I adore Tim Gunn and any time he smiles, it fills me with joy.

I loved CutToe's jacket too --- I think she will definitely be in the top three along with Terri. The judges are always busting on the designers when they make things that made the models look fat and then they pick Squircangle's outfit as the best?? I loved the top but the hips were absolutely awful. Can you imagine anyone who's not a size 0 wearing that?
Loved seeing Laura back on the show. She's one of my all time favorites mainly because I can actually imagine myself wearing some of her clothes.

serjen--i loled at your two comments two. crap up. awesome.

This is an obvious question, but if Korto's name is pronounced Cut-toe, why is there an R in it? Does this mean Kors is really pronounced Koss?
As Hobo's bustier was coming together, I thought it looked like a Halloween costume. "I'm a Volkswagen!" Hang a license plate around her neck and off she goes.
"Don't trust the bitch" is already showing up in the bloggysphere as an animated gif and avatar. I like it, for the next 1.5 weeks. Maybe less.
Rachel Zoe the stylist is responsible for all those tiny, anorexic women wearing huge bug-eye sunglasses that are 2x the width of their faces. Did she also dress them in Ugg boots? ugh.
Straight Guy's dress looked like a BMX racer commissioned his girlfriend a prom dress. I liked Terri's outfit. Blayne's was terrible but I'm not going to argue since Keith is gone. What was Leatha thinking, with those horizontal stripes? Good grief, even I know no one looks good in those.
YAY Keith is gone, happy happy joy joy. He bawled his eyes out at the end, which ordinarily might invoke some sympathy from me. But not for you! Sucka! You don't like the opportunities in SLC? MOVE.
ahhhh it's gonna be nice to have him gone.
16 of 17 | Posted by Memememe | Posted on August 29, 2008 2:41 PM
Not to defend Keith, as I am v. happy he is gone....
I think his point about the problem with his incomplete skirt was that the model ripped it, so he had to fix it, which didn't give him enough time to finish the belt.
Still.
If your garment is that delicate, moron, don't make the model wear it for an extra hour!
Also, the amount of time it takes to resew an inch of a seam does not equal the time it takes to cut, trim, hem and finish a belt. He would not have been done, regardless, and at least he could have cut off the hangy bit! Grrr....good to see his cry-baby ass go home.
