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

Let me make this clear:

I am not Gretchen's biggest fan, but Ivy has shown herself to be a superbitca on the reunion ep. I mean damn.

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

Nina and Michael are giving me agita, people. I cannot believe what I am seeing and hearing.

Because books.

It's really fascinating to see so much more of the judging discussion this season, but man, I think they're leaning toward a winner I just can't get behind.

Heidi judges strictly based on herself as a customer and a woman who loves clothes. Nina and Michael are much more rooted in the industry and the business end of it, I suppose naturally.

I just can't understand Nina saying that Gretchen's collection is of the moment and where fashion is going. But I think I can't see past the repetitive prints and what I think is a really muddy, sad palette to the shapes and the movement in her clothes.

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

Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??

Me neither. I mean, I don't know enough about fashion to contradict her but I hope she's wrong because I really disliked that collection.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Really? I mean, really? I do not understand fashion.

Because books.

The colors looked wet, muddy leaves! And a lot of the cropped tops with baggy pants pairs were total '80s! Do not understand.

I think Heidi would ROCK Mondo's polka dot dress.

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

Okay, I think I just broke up with PR. I do not get it.

Luckily, I think I was spoiled for this last week, so I have gone through my stages of grief prior to watching this episode. I would have been losing my shit right now otherwise.

Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??

right?

Halfway through, when I realized they actually LIKED Gretchen's collection, I started to drink heavily.

Metaphorically, anyway.

It was fun to watch Heidi and Michael go at it, though.

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

did you all see Tim Gunn's reaction. I think he was saying WTF along with us.
