Don't you mean "Oriental?"
Ha! I totally do. Did I mention it was awful? Because it was.
I agree that they should have had more time, which I thought right at the beginning when they said how much they'd have. But still, dragging those bolts along the floor, tearing that stuff off the racks. Some of that fabric was worth a lot of jack, and I hated to see it get potentially damaged. Felt like a lack of respect to me.
First of all, how the fuck is Blayne still around??? I'll agree that Stella wasn't ever going to make it to Bryant Park, but at ZOMG those balloon pants. WTF???
Of the bottom three, I was expecting Suede to go. His dress just didn't *fit* and it's not the first time he's had that problem. And the less said about Joe's taste level the better.
OTOH, Stella has repeatedly sent half-finished ideas down the runway, and part of the challenge is always FINISHING YOUR FUCKING GARMENT. PS, in the 1930's, women wore shirts.
Kenley should have known that "a look" != "a dress" no matter how impeccable the dress is, but I also loved Leanne's look, so I was happy to see her win.
I'm not sure what the deal was with everyone bitching about Terri's pants this week. Terri always makes pants, Korto always makes jackets, Leanne always makes dresses with random flippy thing, Blayne always makes whacked-out ugly crap. Isn't that what having a point of view is all about?
I would have been happy to lose any of the bottom 3. I think all their days are numbered.
Leanne won me over with her NY night outfit inspired by the plant grate. It was perfect and I thought it should have won that challenge. She really is getting "it" as far as innovation and polish.
Kenley disappointed me.

So. Much. This. Say what you will about Joe and Stella, but has Blayne ever been in the top 3?
Seriously. I was so sure we were going to get a chance to get rid of either of the verbal tic guys, but there was enough bad enough that we didn't. Bah.
Blayne's outfit was terrible.
And I think everyone fell a bit on the "look" aspect of the challenge. There was a lot of leeway in what they could do, but that was an awesome inspiration piece, and no one sold that to me in either era or actress.

I really wish that they had actually shown the designers the movie because it was clear that most (if not all) of them had never seen it and were just parroting back DvF's description of it when asked about their inspiration.
oh, weird, post weirdness.
uh, what did I say?? ? OH! ANTM girl who said she was almost "sold" to someone from the Middle East? Looks so much like Michele Tractenberg to me it's scary!
Yeah, I agree. The film and Dietrich have such a distinct feel that they really would have benefited from seeing it.

Yes she does! But she also has very pretty hair...which I'm afraid they will do terrible things to in the makeover episode.
