Appalling Project Runway episode

i'm halfway thru the ep, and obsessed with the idea of jesus getting booted. that's partly because i WANT to see his sorry ass out of there, and because i expect him to go soon.

he screams poser to me every time his lips move. he is also enraptured with every move he makes--he has to ability to step back and assess his work. was it adonis who fell in love with his own reflection? same with jesus--he sees his designs as his reflection. sadly, they are. hahaha.

his ears were somehow also sealed at birth: i can't wait to see how he doesn't perform this challenge.

and what a yucky challenge it's shaping up to be. all red sounds really boring, but that particular shade of red, which only a processed foodlike soup would be caught dead wearing. real soup would be embarrassed to put that color on--it has no business on a human being.

and that wasn't enough: they wanted their name on it? i realize campbell paid dearly for this product placement, but legible clothing for a gala? those people have no taste.

perhaps the designers will surprise me.

Yikes. No pleasant surprises. Worst challenge ever?

I did not see a single dress I liked. I guess I wouldn't quarrel with the winner, for least bad. I liked a lot of what was going on with Maya's curves, though it was hard to look past the Miss America sash.


They needed  a bottom eight for all the atrocities. How did Anthony escape the bottom? It looked ridiculous and made his model look gigantic. He thought it hid her weight? Hid it where--inside my corneas?

I was again shocked by the judge-love for Mila. By itself, the smaller star was iffy, borderline self-conscious and cheeseball. I shuddered a little, but could bear it. Two were inexcusable, especially at that size. A really bad Harlem Globetrotters outfit.


Anna's was also scary. Every time I saw it, I thought the model was semi-naked. Such an odd, unintentional and discomforting optical effect. Ow.

Funny that Jesus was booted for his least appalling to-date. 

I believe he and Ping were cast as the comic relief this season, so at least were done with that phase of the show.

On to better challenges. I still think we have a talented group here.

I think you summed up this episode, very well. My thoughts exactly. I thought Mila's dress was an overdone prom dress with which the wearer might explode in a bout of singing, "The Star Spangled Banner"...(Hugs)Indigo
