kat, I was thinking of you and your fab SYTYCD posts!

Just watched PR. Emilio, WTF. And I liked Mila's look best but understand why Jay won.

I agree, Mila needs to step out of her comfort zone soon, but I always really like what she does so I'm more okay with the sameness than I would be if it wasn't personally appealing to me.

I'm glad Jay won, if only because when he said he was making leather pants out of garbage bags I said out loud "Oh, honey, no! Garbage bags on Project Runway never works." And then he made it work. So, yeah.

And I'm with Nina, Emilio's wasn't so bad. It was bad, but it wasn't SO bad. Though, what was his accessory? Did he even have one?

I liked Amy's explanation of what she was doing, but I didn't love the garment. There was another "safe" garment I liked a lot, but I don't remember who the designer was. It was the copper dress that actually moved.

Emilio had some wire tied around her wrist I think it was a bracelet.

I was hoping the accessories would be more interesting but it seemed like they were either belts or a hastily constructed bracelet.

Mila's stuff is nice looking but it's all the same. There was the one designer who kept getting called on using prints and flowy dresses and I don't get why Mila isn't being called on using color blocking for every challenge. Maybe in the future.

I liked is it Maya's because she had a jacket AND a necklace. Not that a jacket is really an accessory but it still was awesome.

Maya had the best complete look, I think. She's been in the top 3 a few times, now.

Ulli with the prints is who Mila sort of reminds me of. When she finally made a different dress that was still a print and summery-beachy-flowy but didn't look like every other dress she had made up until then, that was cool. I'm not sure if we're to the point where Mila has to do something different, yet, there are a bunch of designers that I really don't know what their point-of-view is at this point. But it wouldn't hurt for her to mix it up.

Most of the people who were pissing me off are gone now, too. So at least there should be interesting clothes to look at.

Is anyone still watching Models? Is there any interesting drama over there? I quit because watching it was like watching a documentary in gender fail. Like how the models were all nearly powerless and yet were judged by the designers based on those criteria out of their control, and so how they all devolved into attempts at social manipulation as the only way to affect their fate. I can only think that the addition of specific judging by the panel for them this season makes it worse, but I don't know because I can't bring myself to watch it.

I half watched the last one. Alexis got booted, which may mean I stop watching. She was getting the superbitch editng, because she was actually trying to have a strategy.

I thought that was ridiculous -- why did she need a strategy wrt the other girls?

I don't know, but something about the editing really bugged me. Just seemed like they were punishing her for trying to influence her own life.

Or it could be she really was a superbitch. Dunno.

I see what you mean, but I err on the side of superbitch. She would say really mean things for no apparent reason that I could see.
