It's a weeeeeen!  And it happened at a great time for Dmitry, too, both for the design love and the comedy love he was giving us.  On the former front, I want a men's version of that gravity-defying cutout jacket, and I'll take that blazin' pattern, too.  Really, if it had been a black & white pattern (ahem, Gunnar),

Fun fact:  That's how it's spelled, but it's pronounced "can-cer-aids".

Thanks so much!  I hear the real party is going down in Fouch, though.

That was my first chance to look at the final collections.  Hunh.  I'll definitely give Gunnar some props for trying something new, although it has about the wildest swings in quality of anything represented (good: the net skirt; the spiral dress; even the pattern on that loofah skirt thing.  bad:  boob coasters).  It

The late posting of Margaret's review today threw off my schedule for putting up my own observations, so that's why I was a bit late.  But thanks for looking out for me!  That's really nice.  Jake Shears sends his regards to you as well.

Right.  A more useful question for the judges to ask—and one I'm pretty sure they've used in past seasons—would be "on your team, who was the most difficult to work with?"  I'll bet Alicia would have answered that differently than "who should go home?", not that it would have saved her or anything.

You know, I had a bit of a laugh a few weeks ago when Team Chiffonzie couldn't say who their weakest contributor was, but even a couple hours later, I was thinking, "that was actually smart; they were telling the judges—without saying it out loud—that they don't play this reality TV game of artificial drama via

We can agree on that, and advance the theory that he holds it against other people who don't do that.  As the judges were starting to rip on his team's looks, he gave the barest hint of a smirk and said, "I had something structured, but they didn't want to use it."  He left out the "passive aggression" elcor mood

Well, the Project Runway Bake Sale was kinda fun.  A note on getting strangers to give you money:  there is a way to take an approach of, "hi, this is absolute crap I'm selling, but will you buy it anyway because I'm charming?" That way is if you are Anthony Williams.  That way is not if you are Elena.
