The Vanity of an Ancient King

Hey PR Bitches,

Watch Tim Gunn and Christian do a walk-off from the top of their building. Comedy GOLD!

Aaaaw yeah!

I'd decided to check out the collections when they actually happened, via the AP newswire, so I kinda knew what to expect. What wasn't obvious was how these looks worked when being strutted down the runway. It became a very different game. So exciting!

I don't want to spoil anything here, but WOW!! Not what I expected.

I need to get a video of Chris March's collection going down the runway (both he and Sweet P also showed at Bryant Park, as red herrings).

So what did you all think?

I thought that Chris' designs ROCKED!!

Remi's designs were good, but I wasn't thrilled with the grey draped thing everyone else did.

::sigh::

Christian easily has the most innate talent of the group. His outfit was "him" (small pleats, poofiness, and always with an edge), but I think it extended his range, far more than Rami, who can't give us anything but the same old thing. I think I am going to die of barfness.

Jillian's outfit astounded me until the model was standing next to her, and the jacket seemed to fall apart, as if the only thing giving it any structure was the buttons that kept it closed. A bit of a shame, but a great effort.

While I *love* the drama created by Chris' outfit, all those wrinkles reminded me of paper, and when the model walked down the runway, I didn't see any movement, and that bothered me.

Poor Sweet P, that outfit was all wrong from the get-go. I think in the last couple of shows, she just ran out of steam.

And what about that end?

Discuss!!

This was the most fun challenge I've seen to date. Those girls were *fabulous*! All that sparkle, all that shine. Wow.

Jillian's outfit was really cool. It really had "sporty/sexy" going on. Loved the fabric, but I couldn't quite get what was going on with the boob-strap without the white stripe. It didn't add interest, it added distraction.

Christians outfit: Fierce! One thing I would have done was put a cutout in the cleavage. I think that would have brought it home. Loved the chaps.

Chris didn't really have to try for this one. He just needed to make his drag outfit fit his diva.

Remi's outfit sucked. I actually *liked* the colour. The hot pink thing could totally work. His execution blew goats.

Poor, poor Sweet P. She just didn't get it, but I didn't think hers was the worst of the bunch. That would go to:

Ricky. He's really awful. *Really* awful.

Tim Gunn is on The (A) Daily Show

Squee!!

I don't even know where to start with this one. It could have been a really fun episode, but it was nothing but weeping.

Christian's outfit, as usual, I really enjoyed. I thought it was totally innovative, and very, very Christian. Which makes me wonder if that "thing" is really all he does. All his outfits seem to have a similar look. Not as one-note as Remi, although perhaps it's just a cohesive style.

I also really liked Sweet P's dress, as it wasn't as monotone as the others.

Everyone else, meh.

Prom Dresses!

Dayum!

I had to catch the replay, so I still don't know who won. I don't mind spoilers, so reply away.

Christian's attitude really sucks. Talk about self-defeatist. I understand his "model" is a bit crazy, but c'mon. If you're gonna call yourself "fierce", *BE* fierce, *especially* when there is shit kicked in your face.

I like Chris' dress, hate Victorya's, although I am not sure if I hate it because she's a passive-aggressive bitch, or if the dress is really bad. I just don't know anymore.

I totally called Sweet P's Catholic School upbringing =)

What were your impressions?

Discuss!!

Finally, we see something out-of-the-ordinary. Admittedly, I hate midtown, so I was quite surprised that there was a Hurshey's store in Times Square. So many possibilities!

I was surprised that some of the usually more "on-point" designers were not bringing their A-game.

My favourite was Chris. He really pulled it together. I also liked Christian, but I think there was a lot of gluing, which kept him from winning.

What in the hell was Victorya thinking? Total mess.


So what did you think?

Discuss!!

Wow! That was possibly the best challenge I've seen in awhile. I *love* the idea that they used "real" people, and had to make something they'd actually wear. Great challenge.

And what about *that* twist!!!!!


In the end, I think the proper person was auf'd, but I just didn't want it to be that person, so soon.


I still don't see how their insanely small budget was able to buy *anything* at Mood, save possibly a single plastic button.
