Testimonials

Time to get started with the runway show, so back to "Elle" downtown. The designers meet the contestants there with their Fall collections. They look through the clothes to decide what to show. Megan picks out something for the model and Johanna whispers that she doesn't like it. Richard looks up, which is probably just clever editing. But they try to make it appear as though he overhears that Johanna doesn't like something and is surprised. Megan tells the model to try it anyway, and they'll see what they think. Megan tells us that it's rude to tell the designer that you don't like something they created. So she calls Johanna aside, saying that she's worked with a lot of designers, so she knows what Richard's feeling right now. They have to agree with everything about his vision. Ultimately, he has to decide what goes down the runway, and they have to work with it. Johanna goes along with it all and doesn't protest. In fact, she looked nervous and scared when Megan talked. This is really difficult for me. I want to root for Johanna because she is the only one (other than Ashlie at this point) who seems non-vile. But I can't stand how spineless she is. And such a follower. And a follower of dumb people, no less.

Meanwhile, GS and Ashlie are stocking up on shoes. They take all the shoes that will fit their model and pretty much just hoard them all. Megan is shocked, but they tell her they'll give her whatever they decide not to use. Gay Sidekick actually tells us that hoarding all the shoes is Megan's karma getting back at her. Um, okay, dude. Like YOU have any understanding of karma. Because if you did, then you should be hiding in your closet right about now because a swirl of hurricanes and tornados are probably coming your way. With everything he said to Hate, he REALLY has it coming. And I'd like front row seats to that, btdubs.

The day is over, and the teams head up. Johanna stays up late to write up the interview notes from her conversation with Richard. She tells us that Ashlie gets ahead by hoarding shoes. But she gets ahead by staying up late. (Okay, nerd.) I find it hilarious that she works in the bedroom with all the lights on, so Megan has to sleep with the light in her face. And I find it hard to believe that she didn't pitch a fit about that one. Being a vampire and all, I'd think that she'd be more comfortable in the dark. AND yet again, I find myself bothered by the general clutter of the apartment.

The next day, they arrive at Arena two hours before the fashion show is set to start. Malina meets them with Max Factor make-up artist Jake Bailey who will be there with his team to do massive product placement -- er, I mean, the make-up for the show. He shows us a lot of Max Factor crap that I refuse to repeat unless they pay me some bucks for advertising.

Megan and Johanna turn their models into 80s Barbies. But GaySidekick and Ashlie do THIS:

The show starts and Anne and Joe Zee are sitting front and center. GaySidekick and Megan are first. Anne comments that she likes the hair and makeup. Things go well except that a zipper breaks on a model's dress, which creates a pacing problem. Instead of fixing it with, say, safety pins, hot glue, tape, or any other type of adhesive (GS looks enough like a bat; he could probably manage to cough up some sticky mucus), GS just tries to yank on the zipper within an inch of its life. When there is dead space on stage, we see Anne say "uh oh."
