Project Runway EP 6: 

Children and Avant Garde.  AWESOME

-The designers are partnered with kid artists.  The designers are generally supper sweet with these high school kids.

-Some of these children’s art is really beautiful.

-Joshua M’s concept sounds intriguing.  And he wants to honor his mother, how sweet.

-I think Bert’s balloon pants will look silly whether he wants them to or not.

-ugh Bert, your outfit is worse than the sketch.

-I love Olvier, but he is struggling.  Ever since his panic attack on the track last week I’ve doubted his competitive edge.  This is a competition after all.

-Viktor’s student is so forward.  I would not be able to tell Tim why a dress is awesome.

_OH NO I thought Olivier was going to get kicked out for gluing his dress on his model.

-I love that Bert always styles his models the same.

RUNWAY

Kimberly”  I like this interpretation.  I think it’ll be save.

Becky:  I like this too.  I think it’ll be save.

Olivier:  This is weird.  I don’t like it.  It’s not enough.  It looks messy.  The painting was really beautiful.

Josh M.  I like this look a lot.  This looks real runway professional to me.

Bert: ECK!  This is horrible.  It reminds me of the jumpers my mom put me in during the 80s.

Viktor:  ok.  I like parts of this dress and others are ugly.  The painting was better.

Laura:  I’m not sure,  looks prom dressy to me.

Bryce.  Nope, nope nope.  .weird fit. Not working for me.

Josh C.  Not avant garde at all.  Just a weird leather dress with a blouse underneath.  He should be worried.

Anthony:  I like this.  It is a fairly literal representation of the painting but works for me.

Anya:  So how did she do this?!?!  I really like it!  This may be one of my favorites.  I love the cut, the color pallet, the silhouette.

JUDGING

Josh M:  Heidi likes this. All of the judges like this.  I couldn’t agree more!

Josh C:  Michael doesn’t think this Avant Garde and that’s what I was thinking.  The judges are being harsh.  Josh C is just such a nice guy.  But nice guys don’t always win.

Bert: They did not like this except Heidi.  Heidi likes that it’s literal, loud, and coo coo.  Everyone else thinks it’s too much.  That means he will not lose tonight.

Laura:  They didn’t see the interpretation until she explained it.  I think it is a beautiful interpretation and not too literal.

Olivier:  Heidi thinks it is sad.  Totally agree.  They think it is boring. They like part of it.  They like the construction.  I think he is safe.

Anthony:  Heidi loves this dress.  Michael likes it.  The guest judge, thinks it is a little home made.

Anthony Ryan is the WINNER!  He may have been my 3^rd or 4^th for tonight pick but in general I do like his work.

Josh C is out…again.  I’m not surprised.  I just like his personality.

Episode 3: STILTS!

I like the idea of this challenge.  I’m a little worried that the designers will come up with great tops and lame pants.  We will see…

Ugh, I hate group episodes…it’s just an hour and a half of bickering and crying.

The models are fun girls.  They are more realistically shaped women too.

First day at Mood!

Julie is probably the most obnoxious contestant…I think this is her time to go based on personality alone (and probably style as well.)

Oh Bertie and Vik, you old married couple you.

A cage does not sound safe for a stilt walker.

Phew, did Bertie and Vik just silence Tim with their pettiness?  Just kidding just that “Lifetime” editing.

I like the big of the tutu on Fallene and Bryce.

“Off Grain” phrase of the night.  Even my husband can tell when something is off grain. (I did teach him how, but still)

Cecilia’s a Bword.

Bryce is so pessimistic.

Fallene, STOP BEING THE CRIER!  Get some self respect!

4:30am, that’s no joke.

Olivier and Anya are scaring me, they need to get more done!

Bryce is a control obsessed baby…and Fallene needs to grow a pair.

Not very many fans in the crowd…yikes.

RUNWAY:

Joshua and Julie : It looks too circusy and typical.   It’s not out of the box at all.  I’m not a fan.

Bert and Victor:  The model is good.  It looks okay.  I’m not super impressed yet.

Bryce and Fallene:  It looks horrible together. The top looks like she got it from a dance supply store.  The pants under the tutu are so unimaginative.

Beckie and Kimberly:  I like this look.  It is very much Beckie’s style.  The pants do look pretty great.

Anya and Olivier.  It is cool.  This seems more high fashion than the others.  Is it weird that I like this.

Cecilia and Danielle.  It looks so wearable.  The hair is weird I agree with the designers.

Anthony and Laura:  This does look the best so far.  Very dramatic.  I LOVE LOVE the top of this.  What a great team!  Looks good with stilts too!  This should be the winner.

Judging:

Anthony and Laura:  They were sweet and a great team, probably why they weren’t featured in this episode much.

Danielle and Cecilia:   “That Hair is CR-AZY”  I love you Michael.  The chiffon does look great.  It looks flawless.

Kimberly and Beckie:  It does look a little circusy, but I like the dark circus look they had going.  It looks like Beckie’s original designs.

Viktor and Bert:  I agree it looks like a bad costume. 

Fallene and Bryce:  Black swan… The model is laughing because she knows it looks bad!  Yikes.  They like the headpiece which is Fallene. But yet Fallene is responsible for the bad look?  I want Bryce to go home base on the designs but I know it won’t happen.

Joshua and Julie:  Bad design, bad taste.  But I’m glad they liked the execution.

LAURA IS THE WINNER!  She completely deserves it.  Good girl.

Fallene is out.  I think she is a spunky girl, but she was a bad designer.  She didn't have what it takes to last in a competition.  She needed a little more gull.

Challenge 02:  Pet Project:  Unconventional Project Pet Materials…

-I bet their clothes will stink.  I don’t even walk down the pet aisle at the grocery store because it makes me want to gag.

-This seems like it would be a really hard challenge! 

-Anthony good choice to be different.

-Bert bad choice to only get fabrics… this is innovation.

-Ooh pet land discount what do you have left?  That was a lot of bags leaving the store.

-If you abuse immunity they will get mad!

-How many times do they say wee wee pads?

-Joshua M is giving a lot of advice…should the other contestants be listening?

-Ugh, why is this show 1.5 hours?  It’s a little much.

-Some are turning out kinda great..

RUNWAY!!!!

Anthony:  Looks great, but so simple.  Will they want more?  Love the neckline.  I like her clean face styling as well.

Anya: Looks great, looks like Anya’s style.  Great

Becky:  I like the shape of this.  I think it works for this challenge.

Bert:  Dumb.  Gross, stupid.  Boring Ugly

Bryce: Stupid.  Looks like I made that for my barbie out of gum and napkins

Cecilia: It’s falling off! Ehh.

Danielle: I like this.  I would buy that top.

Fallene: safe looking.  But skirt comes across well.

Joshua C: Eh.  I don’t like it.  Others are way better.

Joshua M:  I like the top of this.  I think it works.  I’m not sure if it is a winner.

Julie: Dumb, not innovative. Bad silhouette.  Maybe her last look.

Kimberly:  Good girl.  Safe.

Laura:  I like this.  I don’t care if there is no movement.  I like it.:

Olivier:  I kinda love this.  So sophisticated.  I think he’ll do well.

Viktor:  I like it.  It’s a good transformation even if it is a simple shape.  I think the materials transferred well.

Judging: 

Sorry Bryce, they are right about your blue wee wee mistake.  Come on Bryce, at least know your girl.

Heidi likes the neckline of Anthony’s dress too. 

Olivier, hombre is so chic and in right now.  Way to be current.  They didn’t like the brows but I liked it.

Joshua C:  Conventional..Yep agree.  Oh weird shoe to pair it with.

Joshua M:  I agree with Nina.  What is up with that tag?  Haha, makeup is dumb.  The top is great, I agree!

Fallene:  Simple silhouette.  Nina hates the color, but I disagree.  I like the retro colors.  Fallene you should stand up for your work.  Don’t apologize, put on your big girl panties!

Olivier WON!  It was very deserved.  I love his taste.  I'm excited to see what else he will do in upcoming episodes!

Joshua C is out!  He's a nice guy.  That's the only reason it is sad to see him go.  I'm not sad that I won't see any more Josh C. designs on the show though.  Got to trim the fat...

Until next week...

Project Runway Season 6 Episode 2

Streaming thoughts... This is just my take of the latest PR episode as I'm watching it.

Yikes, Heidi your leopard dress is a little "Real Wives of New Jersey".
OOh maternity clothing challenge, with Rebecca Romijn...TWINS! what fun!
Eck..'mother hen.' I wouldn't want to be called that.
Those size 40 shorts are not 'some kind of fierce' it's not even that funny. If anything they are ‘some kind of ugly.’ I’m still waiting for that PR contestant who charms America with their quips.
The chicken egg top by Melvin is kind of cool.
EWW, that purple bowling ball dress is disgusting, it looks unnatural. How could you even get that on.

Was that foreshadowing? See-thru nightgown guy (Mitchell) said he was going to be eliminated.

Ra’mon thanks he is the front runner and everyone else is a hot mess. What is he eating for breakfast, a bowl full of crazy?

Melvin, is right all the designers are showing similar things.

Why is everyone still sewing?!? Time to GO.

RUNWAY TIME

Did Heidi look at Mitchell when she said, “the next day you’re out?”

Logan: Boring

Shirin: I liked it…very twelve by twelve

Nicholas: Gross

Christopher: RTW, nice

Mitchell: Simple, Sloppy

Qrystal: Like it

Epperson: Woah not as safe…different and looks nice.

Louise: Lingerie but I like it

Gordana: Good

Johnny: Looks like Michelle Obama

Interesting

Ra’mon: HATE IT, GROSS, makes butt look huge

Carol: I kind of like the drape around the tummy

Althea: hips look big

Blue dress looks nice, too short, but RTW

They are being nicer to Ra’mon than I would have been.

Althea: the ribbon looks unfinished, I think they like it too much.

It looks exactly like the real baby could poke out of the sling.

Mitchell: I don’t think he deserves to be in PR.

Shirin is adorable, I hope she wins this week.

YEAH, Shirin won!

What, Mitchell definitely should have been out, at least Melvin knew how to sew!

Ha did you see that weird Eye Pin Melvin wore on his sweater, what’s that about.
