I'm trying to figure out how breakdown boy got into the top 3. I did not like his dress at all. And I felt there were some taste issues with the low back/deep vee front.

I didn't think that his dress was all that. I didn't mind the back but the front was all saggy.

I think I would've been OK with either the low back or the deep vee front, but not both. And I'm with you on the shaplessness of the dress being off putting. The sides of the dress kind of reminded me of saddle bags.

Because books.

The red one, right? It sort of reminded me of a manta ray, which is not something I want to look like on a runway or anywhere.

I liked the winner's dress, although for a hot second I had to decide if the ruffles on the skirt were a little 80s prom. And I'm not sure it would look great on anyone who isn't a size 2, but I did love that bodice.

The 80's prom vibe was not helped out by the one fingerless glove, no? Very Madonna Who's That Girl. That said, I still loved the dress.

Which PR is the one that Louise Black is on, and will I be able to watch episodes of it online somewhere? I'm very curious to see how she does, as I own some of her work. She has a great design sense ... and seems to be incapable of delivering anything on time. Ever.

Jilli, she's on "Project Runway: Los Angeles" this season, starting with last night's episode. She was sort of middle of the pack, so she's on for at least one more episode.

Oh, okay - she's the retro Texas designer, right?

she seemed okay with the time for the challenge. I wonder if she's one of those people who has a harder time getting stuff done with too much time, and no real consequences for lateness.

On the whole, I dug the new "Runway." It was promising. The "all-Star"challenge? Not so much. Waaaay too much bitchiness, and what the hell was up with Chris falling asleep all the time? That's just not right.
