What--no comments on last night's Project Runway?

Definitely a big "eh" on just about all the outfits made. I thought Mr. Suntan should go for that horrendously bad idea of shorts (as office wear? as late-night party wear? Bad idea all around!), but that losing outfit was, as Kors said, "Sluttysluttyslutty!" Very skankalicious.

Because books.

I love Michael Kors so much. He makes me cackle with glee.

It's a shame Kelly went home -- I think she's far more talented than that outfit illustrated.

Next week looks hysterical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't even realize which one had won until I went to Project Rungay just now -- I thought it was the other dress with all the belt action!

The corset top wouldn't have been nearly as bad if it had been longer.

I knew from the get go that Blayne's idea of shorts would not work. Shorts are not "day to night". Hell, they're not even day. I'm surprised that Brooke picked it. I sense the hand of the producers.

I liked Jerrell and Stella's outfit. I wouldn't have worn it, but I thought it was good, fit well, well made, stylish, but still professional. They worked well together.

I thought that Korto's outfit was eh. I'm glad that they took in the jacket. The dress did not fit well, though. I also am starting to dislike Joe. He seems like a whiner and a wimp. He didn't voice his opinion until he had some backing from Tim.

I liked Tim putting Kenley in her place with the hideous fabric. At least she admitted it.

I didn't mind Keith's outfit, but I liked Jerrell's better. I do think that Keith's outfit was better for the show/character. Jerell's outfit is a little too edgy for the character. It could have been worn by either of the other two, though.

FTR, I liked Cashmere Mafia a lot better than Lipstick Jungle. A lot of it was my girl crush on Juliet Draper, though.

I thought the dress under Korto's jacket was rather illfitting. And Terri's shirt/pants combo was also eh.

The only reason Jerrell's dress didn't win was Brooke not liking that belt, I think.

I think that you may be right about that. I actually liked it, and I'm usually anti that sort of thing.

Ugh! YES! it was terrible.

Jerrell's was my favorite. And I loved the way he & Stella worked together! Nice use of her strengths. er...strength

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I liked Jerrell's, too. I'm just getting caught up now (thank you, one million repeats!) so I'm only now getting to know the designers. But I really liked the way Jerrell pumped up Stella after she was picked last, and furthermore really did use her skill, to his advantage.

Korto's dress was awful. There was one point where it gaped and if you'd been standing next to the model you'd have gotten an eyeful. But I liked her overall idea, I just wish she'd executed it better.

I liked Keith's outfit okay, but it wasn't really my taste. Somehow Jerrell's wasn't my taste either, but I liked it. The only thing I'm worried about with him is how he was all, it's my thing about the little bits of fabric. I hope we're not doomed to a whole season of little bits of fabric like Rami's draping.

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

But I liked her overall idea, I just wish she'd executed it better.

This has been my general feeling about Korto all season.
