Punishingly Intricate

I thought the dress under Korto's jacket was rather illfitting.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

World of yes. It gaped horribly.

I liked Keith's dress the best. I liked the shape and I really liked the skirt. The sleeves were meh.

I liked the shape of Jerrell's dress, but it was too busy for me.

Shorts for a high powered business exec?? Hells no. I wear bermuda shorts to work but that's because a) I'm a middle school teacher, b) I teach a subject where I move a lot, and 3) my school is freakin' un-air conditioned.

I would have never worn bermuda shorts at my old job and you could get away with that sort of thing in marketing, but not as a department head. And certainly not as a CEO. Although, now that I think about it, our CEO did wear a bermuda short suit to work a few times.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seriously. Bermuda short is neither day nor night, and beyond that, it wasn't all that great. I keep wanting to like him, because I like a risk taker, but he's gotta show me something. Liked the top, though.

Oh, and I forgot to say that about Keith's dress, I really liked how the day to night conversion was done. It wasn't just a take-off-the-jacket switch, it was a really clever change that did make it look different.

Because books.

I really liked Keith's dress. And I think Michael was right -- as a pairing, he and Kenley really kept each other in check.

Blayne's look might have worked if the shorts weren't khaki, which just never says "night" to me, and if the top pieces were more special. As it was, it looked like three fairly blah pieces you could pick up at any mall.

To me, shorts will never say "night"

My chief impression of last night is that Blayne - although annoying - isn't the asshat that Daniel is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I appreciated that Blayne said if someone would go, it should be him.

Exactly. Meanwhile, Daniel seemed to be actively working against Kelly.
