And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Because books.

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.

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.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

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.

exactly. although simon cowell has recognized this and now locks in all of the top five or so.

I agree that Sweet P's collection was not all that. I actively hated her red carpet dress.

Agree that Korto should have taken it instead of Daniel, but I knew Daniel was going to win from the beginning. I liked his red carpet dress, but hated the whole rest of the mini collection.

Totally. Every single piece of hers was great. He had one that had any appeal at all.

Also? What's so fucking edgy and high-fashion about women who look like they've got black eyes? I know he was going for sporty, or something, but it left me with a really bad taste in my mouth.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Well, the full episode of PR is up now on the Lifetime site, however, the All-star episode is not. *sigh*

Me too. I think my exact words to DH were "why does he want all his models to look like they've been punched in the face?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is what happens when I'm home on Saturday night: I learn that Lisa from Top Model is going to be on "Celebrity" Rehab! [link]
