I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

ITA, le n, re: the twist on PR. They always do that, but man I just want to see what fabulous things the designers could do given the full two days and no last minute twist when they are aiming for high fashion. Though I have to admit, I liked some of the RTW looks a whole lot.

Predictably, I love both Andy's and Mondo's complete packages, dislike Gretchen's high fashion (so 70s hausfrau! Maybe it looked better in person) and am meh on her RTW.

Michael C's RTW is damn similar to a dress I had in the 80s. His high fashion also seems more old-fashioned than cutting edge, but okay. Ivy's just look sloppy, which seems odd coming from her. Valerie's are okay but not at all exciting. Christopher's high fashion seemed worse, though with high fashion maybe okay is worse than bad. I don't even remember April's clothes and I'm still watching the episode.

And I loved what Andy and Mondo both did with the make up, too. This was the right challenge for those eyes.

Also, I'm gonna take a stand against the word 'advertorial'. Don't need to hear that again.

Yay Mondo!

I didn't mean to watch and post with myself, but I'm so happy for him!

Christopher's high fashion seemed worse, though with high fashion maybe okay is worse than bad.

That dress (and model) desperately needed a good bra, or at least something built into it to support the bouncing boob effect. So wrong to have in a high fashion look.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Has PR always had a "twist" every week? I remember it happening occasionally, but not ever single week. It's getting annoying. I'd rather see what they can do when they can actually concentrate on their main look.

Because books.

Yeah, it seemed like there was only a twist once in a while in the past, and most of the time with the finalists for the Fashion Week collection.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh my god, you seriously made me choke on my iced tea.

But you're right! I was appalled. Nina and Michael are smoking something, I tell you what.
