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

Ha! You're not wrong.

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

!

I think I'm glad I'm not watching this season.

This was a bad ending. I do not understand what drugs Kors and Garcia were taking.

What I don't get is that what they have previously complained about in designers in seasons past they praised the winner for this time around.

I don't get it.

from a comment on Twop:

That was as much about damage control as it was about fashion. Running Through Thunder indeed. I hadn’t planned to watch but my friend came by and insisted. She works as a crisis management specialist. Once we saw the mini-reunion before Fashion Week and the content thereof, she turned to me and said, “Oh shit. This means Gretchen wins. Damn.”

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.

I don't think I've really loved anything she's produced the entire season, and ITA on this take on her final collection. Just--blah.

At least Mondo's outfits were interesting to see, and if I were twenty years younger and thin, I'd totally buy that tunic dress--it was terrifically fun.

UGH. Just watched PR. She should have lost just for the outfit that she wore to the fashion show. I disliked most of her collection, although I really was not a fan of her aesthetic. I thought that Nina was full of shit about the collection being editorial. Mondo's looks will leap off the page, Gretchen's will fade into the background. Don't get me wrong, I didn't love everything in Mondo's collection, but I thought that it showed design and forward thinking and fun.

Frankly, I thought that Micheal and Nina were pissed that he left the polka dot dress in the collection after they told him to leave it out. I also thought that Jessica Simpson didn't get an equal vote, so her loving Mondo's dress was irrelevant.

I enjoyed Heidi and La Kors fighting. That shit got a little dicey.

Answer me this: wouldn't Heidi have looked stunning in that dress of Mondo's? I loved it. I do not understand why Nina and Michael hated it so.

Me neither. I thought that Gretchen's collection was really boring and that Mondo's was much more interesting.

I think Heidi would look great in that dress.

I do not get this decision. Nina and Michael were going on and on about, "Why should we have to edit his collection?" "Who would wear this?" "It veers toward clown clothes!" I just kept thinking of Alexander McQueen because that is who Mondo's collection reminded me of.

McQueen, motherfuckers!

P.S. Bite. Me.
