That vertical-striped black-and-white dress of Seth Aaron's was only the second outfit from a finale runway show in the entire history of PR to make me think, "I must have that for my very own!!" (The first was Jay's long quilted coat.) When I lose my weight after my surgery, a dress like that will be first on my request for my sister to make for me.

Wow, this is a real bitch session!

Wow, this is a real bitch session!

Yeah, and Jay crossed the line from catty to unforgivably mean. I mean, wow.

Totally!

I kind of look at Jay and Maya together, on this (although I know jay is older), and I think a few things become clear. Maya's articulated, in interview after interview, that there's a cost that comes with winning this thing, and she wasn't ready to pay it, even if she had a shot at it. That takes a certain level of maturity to understand, but it's something that -- as both an artist and a sometimes teacher -- I understand keenly. too much success too early can doom you in the long run. It can lock you into a place where you will stagnate and die creatively. I've seen it a million times. So Maya has my immense admiration.

But Jay? Jay's immaturity is staggering, and his lashing out at Cerri shows how NOT ready he is to play on a higher level. He just can't handle it. So seriously unimpressed.

That's the one I want, too, Kathy.

I'm just afraid he's somehow my cousin -- I have Lefebvres in my family.

I wouldn't worry, it's one of the most common names there is: [link]

Related or not, I didn't like him the first time and he certainly hasn't improved. Although I love that somehow it's okay for him to say merde without being bleeped.

Yet, I'm still not really loving the whole Masters concept.

PR: I thought all the collections were great. Everybody really stepped it up from where they were at Tim's visit. And everybody had at least one piece I wanted. But I was thrilled with the winner.

Jay had better be very very very g;ad that Heidi was not on that reunion panel last night. She would have been at his throat in a friggin heartbeat. I wanted to go through the screen at him.

I am tickled with the outcome since I didn't think it was going to go that way. And I was tired of #2's incessant whining and then to hear it on the reunion show, too. The one who won did so with aplomb and awesomeness.

But Jay? Needs to be beaten about the heads and shoulders with a double poly knit pantsuit.

Seriously! I thought Cerri handled it pretty well, really.

I felt kind of bad for Emilio because he looked so sad but, really, they are all talented and he should not have been so sure of himself. But he'll do fine, I expect.

Seth Aaron was adorable, as always, except his hair which was coo-ka-roo! What was up with that?!

and putain! I was amused.

I'll have to watch the reunion show, I am now very curious about Jay.

I liked at least some of all three collections. They were all very strong, but I got what Micheal said about Emilio doing a line, not a collection. Even in my own mind, I think that this is kind of backwards, but the clothes were too wearable. If I see it on the runway, I shouldn't be able to walk into Macy's and buy it. Fashion isn't for regular people!

Emilio claimed that color was his innovation, which I thought was bullshit, but between Seth Aaron and Mila, his collection did really pop. I loved that turquoise coat.

I loved Seth Aaron's collection (agree about the purple dress, though, but that kind of craziness is fashion). I would hurt someone really badly for that checkerboard coat. When Tim was telling him to rethink his collection, I said "don't lose the coat, it's fabulous!" and he listened to me, thankfully.

I would love to see his other 14 looks :)

Mila's collection was eh, which I wasn't surprised by. I liked some of the stuff, but it was pretty boring. Well made, nice pieces, but again, runway should wow me.
