The guest judge (not trying to spoil it for the west coasters) is pretty awesome tonight. I really like her views and she is funny!
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Because books.
She is excellent!
I'm very happy with the result, as well.

Question to all who watch PR:
How do you think Irina compares with designers from previous seasons?

Because books.
I can't stand her arrogant bitchiness, but she does back it up with talent. At the same time, she's made some gorgeous stuff, but it doesn't have as much individual point of view as it could.
Most stuff Santino made, for instance, said Santino to me. Hers are just gorgeous clothes. .

Tonight was the first night I was really impressed with Irina. I thought the entire outfit was gorgeous. And as far as her being a bitch, well, she's no Wendy Pepper. Heck, she's not even a Kenley. As far as PR bitches go, she's pretty tame.
I wasn't sad about the aufing tonight, but it did kind of have me scratching my head just the same. Seriously, what does Christopher have on the judges? And what does he have to do to get aufed? He's been in the bottom so many times. Definitely ready to let that one go.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
PR: Yeah. I feel like there just isn't the major talent hanging around out there this season. I have a few designers whose clothes I like, but there's nothing making me catch my breath. And short of that, there isn't any personality making me sit up and take notice, either, see: Chris/Christians.
Anyway, I liked Irina's outfit tonight all right, but I wish she'd made the vest trimmer. It seemed sloppy, somehow, with the big cowl and the big hood. If the body of the vest had been sleek and tailored, I think I would have loved it. But I was meh on it.
I cannot believe how badly they botched both Greece and Santa Fe. I really love Santa Fe and I realize it's closer to my heart than the typical designer. And I can see how looking at photos you might pick up the muted color scheme. But Santa Fe style is so not about muted hues. It's about bright and vibrant color and silver and turquoise and more important, dynamic form. It made me want to get out my sketchpad. Not that I'm a designer, or could do anything with it if I had a design. But there's just so much more they could have done with that.
Also, I was bemoaning to the SO that it's the fact that people like Michael Kors love Santa Fe that makes it so expensive there.
Anyway, I thought it was a great challenge, and would have liked to see what some different designers would have done with it.
I do think the judging has been inconsistent this year due in no small part to the fact that the judges have been inconsistent. I think if Nina and Michael had been guiding this group with their scathing criticism all this time, they'd have gotten further by now.

I loved Michael Kors “It looks 80s” comment since I thought all the places he chose we’re so 80s.

Art Crawl!!!
I can't believe that they let the designer of the ugly outfit stay over the one that missed the concept. I guess the concept was extremely important to them.
