Jay's may be more forward thinking, but for me they're always over-designed. Every garment has about three too many elements for me. Which could just be personal style, but I think his statements get a little lost when so much is going on.

true, but I'd rather see overdesigned than boring. And while I like Mila's clothes, they are very conservative. I would definitely wear a lot of her stuff, but when I watch PR, I want to see new designs, and ideas that will add some pizzaz to my boring :)

I thought the judge's discussion of Jay was interesting -- it sounded like Michael really thought he could work with Jay to fix the over-design issue, but that's not the point they were at.

Yeah, the judge's discussion was fascinating, and I rarely think that on PR. I like Mila's stuff, but when her voiceover was saying the three looks were clearly her but with surprises, I really wanted someone to point out what was surprising. But I just didn't like Jay's looks - I don't know if it was because they were over-designed or because his taste just doesn't line up with mine at all, but even the things the judges were singling out as being great were meh-to-ick for me.

The most fun moments were Tim saying "Fallopian tubes" and Nina throwing up her hands and saying she didn't know who she wanted to go forward.

Is it a true sign of geekiness that I looked at it and thought Brainiac?

What Vortex said.

Except that you don't dress boring like I do. All of my clothes (especially work clothes) are black, grey, or navy. blouses/tops are black, grey, cream, or pale blue. I have the occasional splash of color in a crimson or turquoise :)

Well, I probably do have more color in general, although today I'm wearing black and cream. I do dress pretty boring at work most of the time.

Speaking of color, and I'm someone who LOVES color, was it me or was Emilio's palette the FUGLIEST thing evah? Too bright for fall, not complementary (or complimentary) and that green was... something. And the initial camo print? I just did not like any of it.

That lime green was NOT cute. Did you read Tim's blog?

Today I am wearing a black skirt, black jacket and pale blue sleeveless top with black hose and black flats. I will, however, go home and change into a shiny olive green strappy top and cute green BCBG slides.

The collection I'm looking forward to next week is Seth Aaron's. I want to see exactly how he managed to rework it in a month after Tim's visit.
