I think it's funny that I've spotted Shannon in a couple of things, and have seen NOTHING of Heidi, the actual winner.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha. Well, we all knew she was going to work.
It's kinda like Kayla on SYTYCD. She's going to work regardless.
Sometimes not winning is the best thing that happens to you, because you're in the field and available when people are interested in you. Whereas the winners are swept off to do winner things, but by the time they're trying to book jobs themselves, they're off people's radar already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I couldn't figure out why I had no memory at all of Heidi, but then I looked it up, and her name's Holly. I really thought I was losing it for a minute!

Yikes! See what happens when you don't see the winner around!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I liked Johnny's dress in motion, but not when the model was standing still. Irina's dress was my favorite.
I also liked the disco soccer ball dress - I think someone like Pink could pull it off for a VMA red carpet, and I wish they'd kept her around to see what else she can do. I wonder if she would have made it to the next round if she'd been able to verbalize her POV better.
But seriously, 90% of the middle of the crowd made cocktail dresses with basically identical silhouettes. YAWN.
(I like dramatic collars as much as the next person, but the cocktail-dress-with-random-crap-sewed-onto-the-boobs thing has got to GO.)

I'm not a fan of Sweet P's style, I guess, because all of those gowns left me feeling really "meh."
I was SHOCKED when she was in the final three, because I thought her collection was just terrible. Maybe they looked better in person than on TV, I don't know.

And I thought she didn't seem *quite* as loony in the post-aufed on camera thing. What she said about taking risks responsibly (?) or whatever seemed to prove she got that she went a little too far.

Yeah, I think she was just nervous being in front of the judges and came across as a total space cadet, instead of an avant garde designer. Too bad!

Exactly!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Agree.
And I think if she'd just used the hexagons for the main body of the dress and had cut panels of straight fabric in for the sides it might have worked for her. It would have fixed the bit where it hung really oddly.
Yeah, I agree about the identical silhouettes. In All Stars, when Chris' outfits came out, I was all, yeah that. Because he's nothing if not innovative with shape. He thinks about it, because it's like sculpture with him.
Whereas I think a lot of these designers think "Dress!" and then "Hmm, what can I do to make it interesting?" which is where we get random crap stuck on.
