This season is turning out to be a real bore! Rosettes? Puh-lease...

I liked the Keith/Jeffery/Alison outfit a lot. It wasn't quite in keeping with what Macy's has on their shelves, but it was the standout IMO. When ol' tattoo neck keeps his mouth shut, he really doesn't bother me all that much.

Boring Bonnie got the boot, and not a minute too soon. She wasn't up to par with the rest of the designers (not that the bar is set that high) and her sportswear background was her undoing. Those pants? Wretched! Her team could have been a little more productive, too. Bradley was just going on and on with his weed induced rantings...WTF?

The Michael/Angela/Laura outfit was cute, despite the rosettes. Angela should be kissing the ground Laura and Michael walk on because they totally pulled it off for her. The hair and makeup on their model is what made the outfit pop, thanks to Miss Michael's bitchin' skills. I'm telling you Paula, girl has got it going on.

The only comment I have for Robert's team is that my mom has that same shirt in her closet. What was he thinking? Why didn't Kayne step in and glitz it up a little bit? Anything could have helped, even something from that nutjob Vincent. Not very impressive considering the background of those two queens.

Dear Keith,

You violated rules that were written into the contract that you signed. So f*ck off.

Love,
Heidi


I agree that the designers this season haven't really wowed me yet. There's been a lot of stuff I loved, but nothing where I said "ho****, that's amazing!" I'm waiting.

I'm writing this now since I won't be online for a few days.

Michael & Kayne rocked this challenge. I'm glad Michael won, since Kayne's already won one challenge. They really seemed to understand the challenge itself, and they made fantastic clothes. Loved the pink on the model's skin. When he said "hotpants" I was like "oh no...." But they really worked.

So, Mikeschmike. We got us some hot pink satin. We got us some giggling with the gay boys. We got us some hotpants. We got us a big gay bear hug at the end of the show. I think we got us a homo.

Kayne's vampira Marilyn twist? Hawt.

Brad deserved to go. Horrid. Looked like tin foil. Sorry, weird hippie dude. As soon as I saw how poorly made it was, I knew he was a goner. Maybe he should have tried to make something out of hemp.

Laura - faaaaaaaaabulous. As usual. But predictable.

Uli - another feminine long flowing dress. What a surprise.

Allison - Cute, Nothing special.

Jeffrey - Hideous. Yeah, yeah, you're cool rock & roll guy. We get it. Saying you hope someone has a stroke? Very classy & professional. Jerkoff.

Vincent - Blech. Yuck. Ick. Blergh. Gag. And finally, barf.

Robert - Dude! WTF?!?! You, gay designer of Barbie clothes, can't figure out how to modernize Jackie O's look? As Tim Gunn would say, I'm worried.

Angela - Pretty nice simple little black dress. Classic, but again, nothing too special. She should have to fix that damned machine, btw.

I totally agree but I liked Bradley-I felt bad he had to go, but that was soooo poorly made.

I LOVE KAYNE!! I just do. He's the only one with balls.
Vincent...something about him facinates me ( him as a person, not his clothes)...I don't know why? Is there something WRONG with me???

Uli and Allison are just too adorable. Uli is same old but Allison has good stuff coming I think. She's just so young.

I love this show.

I agree completely with everything you said. they have got to start branching out and doing something exciting or I'm not watching cause it's gonna get boring. Kayne's dress was awesome. I liked his the most, but I'm glad Michael won, his look came off VERY Pam Grier with a modern twist. I was shocked that Heidi said she wanted Angela's dress in every color...yeah, it was cute, but there was something weird going on with the waist...and those damn flowers get on my nerves.

Vincent makes me sick...I literally can't stand him. Bradley's look actually, to me, looked very Cher...on an off day, but still Cher. I think he made a mistake with the top, but the pants were cool...but I don't think he's good enough to withstand the competition so it was time.

Fashion Models

Just when some of you were beginning to grumble about inexplicable victories on this season's Project Runway, along comes a segment that should make almost everyone happy: a great, clever challenge — each of the 10 remaining designers got to update the look of a different ''fashion icon,'' from Katharine Hepburn to Madonna to Cher. A fine outcome: Fan favorite Michael, an underappreciated contender for weeks now, finally won a challenge, even though, let's be honest, his magenta toot-toot-hey-beep-beep tribute to Pam Grier wasn't his strongest work this season. And, finally, a dismissal with which nobody can quarrel: Going into the episode, it was already clear that of the remaining contenders, either Vincent or Bradley had to get the boot. And one of them did.

Bye-bye, Bradley. You're going home. Home to whatever spacey-woodsprite-tree-hollow-magic-mushroomland you came from. Home to a safe place where nobody has ever heard of Cher and everybody thinks it's perfectly okay to dress her in a top made out of Reynolds Wrap and pants that were so intent on beginning their very own vagina monologue that even the model called cameltoe on you. Home to where you can have the nap that you look like you've been wanting really badly.

In fairness to Vincent — whose fashion icon was Twiggy — he did try really hard to make the most hideous dress of the night, boldly choosing to use a fabric usually reserved for vinyl tablecloths in rundown diners and then adding clown pockets. And nice guy Robert, in whom we wish we had more faith, severely botched his Jackie O tribute dress by making a linen skirt that looked like it had a doggie door in the back, some kind of indescribably grim blouse that appeared to be topped with barbed wire, and a jumbo jacket belted with rope (it didn't help that his model walked down the runway as if she'd just been given a wedgie). They're both very lucky that Bradley clearly just wasn't the kind of little boy who used to stand in front of a full-length mirror and pretend he was Cher.

Speaking of which: Hi, Kayne. Another strong night for the boy from Oklahoma: His Marilyn Monroe dress — a sexy, serious, daring, well-styled gown that even used leather well — showed that he's a real competitor (this challenge was so up his alley that he managed to reference famous Marlene Dietrich and Cher dresses in his own gown without losing focus). He looked just a teensy bit frozen-faced when Michael beat him, although for my money, Uli's expensive-looking pink-purple dazzler of a Diana Ross dress (which seemed to come with a side order of Stevie Nicks) should have made the top three, and Laura's impeccable trousers-and-blouse Katharine Hepburn modernization (the only thing on the runway that was wearable by women who don't look like models, and also the design that met the challenge most accurately) should have won.

In fact, Laura should have gotten some kind of immunity just for demolishing the insufferable Jeffrey with the single best bitch-slap of the season: ''If you're so f---in' successful and you know so much, what are you doing here, Jeff?!'' (Jeff's typically classless response, presumably made after he picked his entrails up off the floor: ''God, I wish that f---in' bitch would have a stroke.'' I assume he meant Laura, since Angela's T-shirt clearly identified her as a biatch, which is different.)

By the way, how did Jeffrey's Madonna dress escape the wrath of Nina Garcia, Michael Kors (welcome back!), and the mesmerizingly dry Diane Von Furstenberg? There have been beautiful dresses, bland dresses, and blecch dresses on this season of Runway, but Jeffrey's ode to Madonna was the first outfit this year that appeared quite literally not to have been designed for a human. Maybe there's a planet on which women are shaped like rectangles and can only attract males by disguising themselves as large red popcorn boxes. That must be the planet where neck tattoos are considered hot.

But why complain when the hour was so full of things to love? There was that moment when 10 models, showing more energy than they have in their lives, simultaneously lunged toward that table full of photographs as if Tim Gunn had just unveiled a cheeseburger-flavored diet pill. There was Michael realizing his Pam Grier dress had crossed the line from street to streetwalker, changing course, and pulling out that victory. And, of course, there was the Swiss Miss-meets-Nancy Sinatra in the Bowels of Hell dress-and-boots combination that Heidi was wearing. As Michael Kors would say (and in fact did say, twice): ''Insane.'' Hours like this are why we love Project Runway.

What did you think? Isn't it a rip-off that Michael didn't get immunity? Couldn't there be a superhero costume challenge in which he gets to design an outfit for Captain Save-A-Ho? And won't Vincent's reign of error ever end?

Cher's pants would have looked better in a different color.

LOVED Kayne's dress. I want it!!

When did Nina Garcia grow a waddle? I don't remember her having that last season.

Holy crap, I never posted a review for last week. Shaaaaaaaaaaame.

Good for Michael and his Pam Grier resurrection. He really pulled it off, hotpants and all. He reminds me a tad of Karamo (a real world cast member from a few years ago) minus the bitchiness.

To me, Bradley was closer to Cher then Robert was to Jackie O. You know Bob Mackie was at home bitching up a storm though. I will give Robert a little credit because it would be pretty difficult to modernize Kennedy-Onassis elegance on a $150 budget. The Cher top hurt my eyes.

Tattoo neck needs to calm it down with the cockiness. He's not putting anything out that really condones his behavior, so he needs to shut it. Even Santino had a few gems go down the runway. Laura was right on with her "what are you doing here?" question.

LOVED:
Angela-Audrey Hepburn
Kayne-Marilyn
Michael-Pam Grier

HATED:
Vincent-Twiggy
Robert- Jackie O
Bradley- Madonna (I think that was his "icon")

Yes, I was quite disappointed in you darling. You've made up for it, though.

I assume we no longer need to discuss Michael on the DL with his hot pink satin hot pants creation?

You assume correctly . DL or not, his model looked damn good.

Man I am PO'd. how could they cut Allison? I mean she had a bad week...so did Kayne, but Vincent is consistently awful.

Michael's was good, but I think Jeffrey deserved the win. everything about J's dress was awesome. Laura's was cute, but predictable...same for Uli's - the rest blend together so much I can't really think of anything worthwhile to say.

and I love how the previews for every show have them all going "ohh...ahh" or screaming or mouth dropped to the floor...
