Great recap, Flipit. What is H&M?

Brutal recap Flip, but also too funny. This one got me-
Cougars shouldn't put cobwebs into people's minds.
Ouch!
Choo said Epp's dress looked like a pirate wench, then said it looked like something her daughter pulled out of her dress up toy chest. She dresses her daughter up like a pirate's wench? Does the daughter have to get daddy a stein of grog too?

Clair - H&M is an inexpensive clothing store popular in Europe and the East/West coasts of the US. SoCal just started getting them about a year or two ago. Think Forever 21, but with better made clothing. H&M is a good place to shop for inexpensive trendy items that aren't cheap looking.

Flipit, I'm gonna hire a helicopter to pour flowers over your house!!! I can't believe how awesome you are!!!

You were so right about Hedwig . . . oh well . . .

I hated Feather's vest, looked like a dry clean only that got shredded in the wash. Althea's like swiss miss, Irina's the corpse bride in sepia tones, Eppi's--okay, for heaven's sake, if you're going to do the corset, shouldn't it cup and support the breast, and not split them in half--I'm just sayin' . . . CH's did look dusty, and nothing special, Logan--bleeeechy, ewww and too-ee!!! Looks like something I would sew for my stuffed animals when I was 6.

Saltwatertaffyhausen deserved this win!!! The neck line was a tad rough, but I loved the seaming, and the way they contoured around the waist. I didn't think she could do punk. Also loved whiners, but her model was quite rude to her . . . I don't know why she didn't get 2 more feet of fabric, Logan made a whole pair of awful too long pants . . .

It didn't seem the amount of dress they used or didn't mattered . . . they are being so inconsistant in judging!

Guess coz I'm a child o the 80's, the trash bag look was no where the worst to me, but imagine if he could have fit the top and not bundled the hem to the stretch. Her inexperience is really starting to show, and the strain is apparent. I'm very sorry her nose job didn't work out better for her . . .

I still can't tell who's gonna win this. I don't know why I can't except Irina winning, first she'd have to survive the various tortures ; )

Happy anvil drops!

Congrats, Oktoberhauser!

I didn't think you had it in you.

Elvis is annoying (both the music & Shirin), but damn if she didn't pull it together. That stitching was gorgeous.

I cannot, cannot! believe Christopher wasn't auf'd for that garbage bag monstrosity! Two disco balls in a row!

And if not Christopher, then Logan. I love ya Logan, but that mess was just that.... a mess. Even he expected to be auf'd for that, you could tell.

Epperson is the most horrid auf since Kevin Christiansen over Christian Sirano or Suede over Kenley Bitch.

The only thing I can think of is that even though it was, both Christopher & Logan presented entirely different looks from their wedding dresses.

Epperson's looked very similar to her original dress, silouhette wise.

I don't think it's the magic silver pants that're working for Logan, but what's IN the magic pants.

Either that, or the producers want to see the growing relationship between Straight Guy & Straight Girl. (They're dating still.)

H&M is not just on the coasts.

I haven't even read this yet. how did this recap beat top chef? i need some top chef closure!

Any recap that includes an allusion to the almighty Hedwig is a winner in my book! Do you like my pelt?

I actually think Eppi was robbed, even though I didn't like his dress. Logan's was FUG and Irina's was just horrible. Why do they like her so much? I really wonder about where this show is going. Didn't it used to actually showcase talent?

Oh, and I'm very happy Gordana won! I love her and I think she's been given the shaft this season -- Heidi really doesn't like her for some reason that has nothing to do with her design skills. I don't know what it is, but it seems personal. Oh, and she does NOT have thick knees, Flip! I love you, but I disagree with you on that one. Everyone doesn't have to be bone-thin to wear shorts or skirts!

Oh, I forgot to mention...

Stephanie's dress was very similar to mine circa 1985 (25 years next year!)

I had a tea length simple dress and a circlet of flowers around my head which ran down the back in streams. My bridesmaids had just the cirlet and a simple pink & white party dress.

Oh mylanta, fat bitch's new name should be cameltoehausen! Yikes, what was going on with her pants? The seam was off to the side! Speaking of fug pants, double yikes on straight guy's. I'm happy for gordana just so we can have more hausen names! huggles flip!

OMG, soapboxx is so right - brutal and insanely funny recap! "Cuz something that doesn't make a divorcee look desperate, clingly and slightly psychotic? Wearing a mini skirt made out of their wedding dress to an office party." I love you, Flipit. But then again: "Sad Lifetime "I loved him but then he chased me with a knife for no reason" music starts to play and Pepprigefarmhausen tells us that she, too, was once married and divorced." Thanks a million, now the image of Dingdonghausen stomping through the Cellblock Tango won't leave my head... and then you had to remind me of my mental picture of Hedwig's angry inch. Thanks a million.

WTF WTF WTF WTF is up with the judges. Sorry, but I'll miss Epperson and his Davy Jones in POTC dreadlocks and his designs. I am also a child of the 80's, and his dress was just to wrinkled to make the cut for me. I might not have minded MN's dress so much if a) it didn't look like an old balled-up wrinkled wad of foil; b) the hair on his model (excuse me, Tim, DIVORCEE) hadn't been styled to emphasize her jug ears - she looked so much better in her own style; and c) it wasn't a POUFY bottom with a POUFY top over a POUFY lining!!!!!!! Would someone just POUF this guy back to Minnesota?

Or Logan. It's like these guys are being held for years in some Thai women's prison or something, they're so desperate. I mean, the hype on this guy's hotness is getting up there with The Da Vince Code and Twilight, which would have been perfectly serviceable crappy entertainment if the whole world hadn't gone crazy on the hype. Logan. is. not. that. hot.

FYI, I have heard the guest star next week is none other than Xtina. So bring on the dirty chaps! Or the glamorous 40's retro. Or the crazy hooker with gigantic fried hair. Or... I don't know, that's all the Cristina I know.

Bleagh. That should have read "I am also a child of the 80's, and MN's dress was just to wrinkled to make the cut for me." Sorry.

They couldn't very well auf Logan for those horrible pants when Heidi was wearing something at least as bad.

This is the first time Gordana deserved to be at the top since the maternity challenge, imo. Her intervening work has been beautifully constructed but dull, and very different from her own spring collection, which is quite lovely.

Wowee, Hutchlover, thank the lord that Kevin was auf'd before Christian and Suede was ousted before Kenley, since the non-auf'd were SO MUCH more talented. Siriano is the only top flight designer ever to come out of this show (I don't count Rami because he was established before the show).

Epperson is a sweetie but he has done some wacky, ugly things on the show. I would keep Christopher over him, but Logan, I dunno. His work has been uneven.

I think MN's "design aesthetic" is anything that will cover up the fact that he sucks at sewing. Everything he puts out is either crinkled, poofy, shredded, etc. The dude CAN'T construct a garment. That is why Tim was so dismayed when he saw the "foundation layer" on the dressform. Did you see it? I could have sewn something better than that with my feet!

People like him (and MANY MANY others who have been/are on the show) make me want to try out for PR. I sit there watching the show knowing what I would do with the different challenges. I might not win, but I would do better than a lot of these losers. And I can sew at least! Grr. Ok rant over. Ha... if I was ever on one of these shows, you know I would give a shout out to the gasmii! lol. And at least this show just makes you sew/design. I could do that. I could never do something like Survivor where you have to starve and be cold/wet and then they expect to run. Oh hell no! That's crazy. :p

ANYoldwhoo... I really loved Gordana's dress. I know that it was not an easy dress to make in that time crunch and it looked expensive and flattering on the divorcee. I am so glad she won. If IrinaTheBitch had one with that fug shit, I might have thrown something at the television! She had the MOST fabric. She could have done anything she wanted. If she is such a good designer, then why did you put out the "mother of the bride dress" that hangs in EVERY frigging bridal shop in the western world? HACK! Oh yeah, it was acetate... wah wah wah. Acetate sucks as a fabric because it feels icky and it is hot as hades to wear (it doesn't breathe), but you can still sew with it, idiot. It is a hell of a lot easier to work with than something like silk charmeuse! Ugh. She is the devil.

But Flip, you are an angel. The angel of hot pants and chocolate pudding. And really, is there any better kind of angel? Thank you for a hilarious LOL-worthy recap. Much love!

I dunno pixie if Kevin is less talented than Christian. Though the latter's latest collection is TO DIE FOR!

But Kevin has a completely different aesthetic. You can go to TLo's site to see his latest collection, which is great. Plus Kevin was already established with his own jeans line before his season.

Can we agree that maybe Ricky should've been elminated instead?

Here's my (conspiracy) theory:

Epperson's aufing was all about the model.

See, he usually choses Matar -- but it's pretty obvious that Heidi has some kind of issue with Matar (probably because Matar is younger and prettier and just reminds Heidi that she's getting older and wrinklier every day).

It was pretty clear during the 'chat with the models' segment (on Models of the Runway) when Heidi asked Koji a question and Matar tried to speak up too. And Heidi basically blew her off completely.

So it didn't matter if the Straight guy and the whiny one with the leprechaun beard sucked much much harder than Epperson, Heidi was targeting the model.

I mean, even I could have designed something better than what the straight guy sent down the runway. And I can't sew. And haven't bought new clothes in 15 years.

Except Heidi's little plan backfired because Humperdinkerhausen chose Matar. But you'll see-- how much you want to bet that Heidi hates her design next week?

Still, she has immunity, which means Matar has a possible immunity too.

I laughed out loud when Feather Duster admitted his outfit was the worst he'd ever done. Why do they keep this guy around? And why do these designers all seem to be getting weaker and weaker each week?

It almost makes me wish they'd bring back that annoying 'fierce' guy. At least he had a real design sense and could sew.

Itchy, who was fierce guy? I have already forgotten him. The only one who comes to mind is Christian Siriano, and I am pretty sure he isn't on this season. :p

I meant the Siriano guy. He was a creep, but at least he seemed like a real designer. Bit of a knockoff, but still. He could sew.

I haven't watched all the seasons of PR, but of the season I have seen, very few of these people impress me as being any more than cannon fodder for the show.

Would love to see you on the show, Snootch. Kind of like a secret TvGasm agent.

Now, if they'd do a Project Poetry show, I'd think about signing up.

Tim Gunn: "Okay, Poets. You only have 12 hours and two pieces of paper to complete this challenge. Make it work!"

Not too likely I'd try out for the show, though as I said, I'm tempted on occasion. I keep my sewing/costuming on the side so that I can do my much more lucrative regular job. ;-) However, some of my costuming friends do work on tv shows and movies. Sometimes they can talk about it and sometimes they can't. (One of them got to measure Antonio Banderas' inseam!) I have one friend right now who is working on a reality tv show but can't say which one. It's killing me! lol

Snooty, I think the designers are getting suckier because they keep doing these one day challenges. They need to give these guys more time and better materials at Mood.

Also: Straight Guy CAN sew. Witness his awesome Action outfit. That was one hell of a fitted outfit. FlipIt's pictures don't do it justice, but if you see it up close - it was amazing.

I was really hoping Featherduster would get the boot. Just because he's a huge bitch. Epperson being sent home was a bad call. All of his previous work is much better than some of the others'. Irina needs to get the shit knocked out of her, but I guess that's going to take time.

Man, I'm so disappointed that Elvis is so annoying. I was really excited to see someone from Richardson on my show. But, at least I have a good chance of running into her so I can slap her in the face... or shave off her mutton chops.

What a sorry crop of designers this year. You know it's bad when even Tim Gunn is losing patience.

As leathery as Michael Kors is, he's always making me laugh. Hopefully he'll be on here for the rest of the season.

BTW - that Headwig call was great. I thought I was the only one who noticed that she was hideous and scary.
