So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I liked them both, but I would have voted for the one that actually looked like burlap.

I forget the winner's name, but it was the black dress with the skirt that looked like feathers.

I liked Mila's dress, too, and her "farm to the future" story was a good idea.

I think it was Jay that won.

I do understand why Ping was kept in despite the BARE ASS, but I agree that Jesus with the ribbon skirt should have been out.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jesus with the ribbon skirt should have been out.

This is a country western song begging to get made.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A gay country western song.

I was really impressed with a lot of those dresses. The dying, especially.

Yes, for their next challenge: make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bwah, sumi!

The one we liked that didn't win was particularly impressive to me. I couldn't believe the flow and bounce of a fabric I have worked with and have never seen drape beautifully ever.

I can imagine that it would have been difficult to figure out how dye would take on such a loose grained fabric.

That dress was fantastic, and I would have chosen it over the winner, despite the excellent dye job on that one.

I was surprised that there weren't more train wrecks, given the fabric. And I was even more surprised Emilio didn't make it to the top three -- I loved his, too, although maybe it was a little too daytime?

Ping baffles me. I guess I can see how she thinks outside the box or whatever, but so far nothing has looked wearable to me. Even last week, all that flowing, draped fabric -- it might make a statement, it might be comfortable, but I bet it's a bitch to put it on and make sure it's all draped *properly* and not about to slide off in inconvenient places.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

At least this week, we could tell Ping ACTUALLY SEWED. Last, week, NSM.

And for chrissakes, how can you GET on PR if you don't realize the models are going to a fashion-industry party? That seemed either disingenuous or just stupid. Either way, know yer frakkin' audience.
