yeah this may have been said, but wasn't she even wearing the jacket in part of the show?- at first i thought oh that's her outfit she's wearing, then i was like no that's the project hmmm - funny autobiographical!!!!!
Yes, she was wearing that jacket in one of the shots of the workroom. So she is the same size basically as the models and the models have better bodies. That's just scary.
Maybe she's a burned-out White Snake groupie? Hence the deranged 80's thing she has going on?

It was in Tim's Road to the runway blog, and during the show (ep 1) Tim said they had an announcement when on the roof top, just prior to commercial, they showed a tease with all the designers cheering and hugged her. When they returned from comercial, went straight to telling them to start their challenge.

Okay...here's where I take exception to the dogs being REQUIRED to be wearing an outfit....they were supposed to design in terms of a narrative --- who is the lady you're dressing? what's her style? where is she going? Well, maybe Keith's lady isn't one that dresses up her already-crazing looking dog in dog clothes...just a stylish collar will do, thank you. (if someone was designing for ME and one of my dogs, my dog would NOT be wearing clothes - clothes are for people, not pets!)
And really, how is the bangle with sash (or whatever keith called it) any different than buttoning a shirt collar around your dog (ie. Bradley)???? If they are going to hold Keith accountable, then they should have with Bradley, too. The only difference is that Bradley's collar was made with fabric, rather than metal.

Tim mentioned in his blog about the wrap party that Hedi told him on the way to the party, he found out at the party that he was the only one who hadn't heard the news that day. So as far as that blog goes Hedi did not announce it until they had finished with the show, except for the reunion and runway show in Sept.

Ah, the Wal-Mart crowd. I live in Roswell, New Mexico, where folks are regularly abducted by aliens and returned, usually with IQ points missing. I am sure Vincent has had such an event in his life, simply if only indicated by his hilarious manic moment regarding his dog's outfit. It was so contagious, I am still giggling over it. He actually somewhat redeemed himself from last episode's behavior.
As for being stuck in the boonies where haute couture is hot couture, I can say some of us have to go to Wally World. We simply do not have many other options--that's why we sew! Wal-Mart does have $1 a yard fabric, and you can go there any time of the day for those missing bobins!
A couple of us here in Hick-ville get together to watch on Wednesday evenings then drive our co-workers insane by chatting about PR as if it were a Mexican telenovela. But way, way better! Just want to say to everyone on the board that I enjoy the banter, even if I can't read everything. Some of you have some great ideas and humor.

Ummm, Bradley's story is that his girl went to a party with her better-dressed pooch, and to her horror, she saw a gal in almost the same outfit-but much better designed and made (Daniel V's orchid top/skirt), so she ran into the bathroom, ripped and tore at her outfit to make it look different, but, after failing miserably, she was slinking back home in disgrace. Her co-dependent dog didn't want to upstage her, so he sacrificed his couture outfit for a lame, goofy collar. Give me a little more time on the others, lol...
Excellent.Mine for Keith's.Arrogant self centered magazine editor(heheh) steals a designer's outfit made for one of the Desperate Housewive's to wear to the Emmy's.She wears it to a dinner party to test out the look.She shows up,realizes that it's a PETA function where people have dressed their pets as celebrities,and so her dog is the naked Britney Spears,Christina Aguila,or Lil Kim(they've all been nekkid on mag covers).When in doubt,she tells them the dog is pregnant like Demi Moore was on the mag cover.....She walks away with an Award for Animal Humanitarianism,and the desperate Housewife wears a Santino dress where she is described as a Desperate Ragdoll.....
Wonderful! By the way, did anyone catch that one of the dogs apparently was Heidi's -- she glared right at it and told it that it had been a BAD BAD dog. The thing actually ducked its head and squirmed. Where DID they get all those dogs, anyway? All of Heidi's friends? Imagine being able to brag at the next get-togther that your little fluffykins strut her stuff on Project Runway.
That wouldn't surprise me. Heidi looked like a dog person during that runway showing. I didn't know she had a tie with any of the pooches but she definitely seemed to enjoy the display in an animal lover way.

Thanks for the welcome. Oh, I've been an addict since my first episode of season 1, which I caught mid season last winter. So I watched reruns to catch up. For me, it's the application of ingenuity to a problem and the creative process that are so interesting. Plus, I enjoy hearing Tim's comments. They're like attending a master class. But where is the caustic yet on the money Michael Kors?
I must now back to writing a dissertation. Watching Bravo reruns during the day or writing in this forum are treats.
Oh, my small fashion accessory liked the episode, as did the larger one who is less an accessory than a bodyguard.
My prediction is Michael, Kayne, Alison, and Robert will be final 4, even if I think Bradley is adorable.

Tough call. Kieth's dress was impeccable - beautiful design and perfect construction - but he ignored the dog altogether. Does one salute him for having the balls to tell his client, "you look great, don't gild your lily," or did he simply fail the challenge in not designing for the dog. I fluxuate, but ultimately he could have even tied a simple scarf around the pooch in matching fabric and called it a day. Hell, even a collar the same red as the print would have been enough. Nevertheless, he's hot. Let him stay.
Uli was masterful with her prints, and whimsical with the dog's outfit, yet haven't we seen this dress 3 times from her already?
Bradley's near-win proves once again that more than anything, designers are impressed by silhouette; fabrication next. Glad he got to stay.
Kayne's models both ruled the runway, but were they maybe a bit too costumey?
Robert's Chanel (both the dog, and the outfit) were knock-outs. Plus, he took what can be a stodgy old-lady look and made it youthful. He wins, IMO.
Did Vincent do too much coke in the 80s? What a lunatic.
Alison should give up design. Not because her work is bad, but she's just so damn gorgeous. She's got a career as a STAR.
Poor Katherine. Throw a wide swath of fabric over her model's shoulders, call it a shawl, and she stays.
So Angela's proven she can sew and has a point view, but is it anything anyone wants to see? She better adapt quickly or she's gone soon.
Michael and Laura continue to do terrific work; solid all around. So far both deserve to be in the finals.
As for the broken rules to be revealed next week, my guess is someone will be found getting extra time in, like working at the apartment, or maybe getting help from outside, like a phonecall to someone "What should I make?" Just some thoughts.

I can't see how they could claim 'helping' as a breaking of the rules. last season there were several incidents where people helped each other out. Remember when Chloe was trying to glue on all those leaves during the floral challenge? Kara helped her out. And in Tim's podcast for Epi3, he comments that Laura was finished early [napping] and that one of the designers [can't remember if he was referring to Katherine or Bradley] should have woken her up and had her help them out.

okay...but that meant Keith took an accessory and customized for the dog....so he did MAKE something for the dog...but because it wasn't made from ALL fabric, then it didn't count? why is there an accessory wall at all if they're not supposed to use those items? or get penalized for using them?

Is anyone else going to Kara Janx's little reception and show tonight at girlshop? I am heading over around 7 tho the invite says 6 to start but that is WAY to early!! I wonder if her home ec project look is the same in person. I will see....
Keith once again lied as he has during every single appearance at some point. You people may all love him for some reason but morally he is a big black hole and you have to live with it. I loved when Heidi jumped up and said you did not make that, you did not make that!? It's a braclet! And he had to admit that yes, but he had attached the piece of cloth holding it on! omg. he is the smarmiest eddie haskell around. He wants to slide by on everythng.
You cannot say it is ok for one person to not do part of a challenge and then make excuses when someone you like does it. This was to design a outfit and something to go with the dog. Bradley's may have been minimalist but he did make a matching little tuxedo collar thing from the skirt fabric. Also many of you seem to only be into PR for the drama and people. You are never listening to the professional design people. They ADORED Bradley's work, the sillouette, color etc. He is a true designer and it does not matter if you would not wear it to the mall in Illinois. Most of the clothes on the runway you will never wear either. BUT...it all tickles down eventually. you end up with some consumer variation on it.
Also this constant positng about omg did you see...insert name... design, hat was stolen from ...insert name...from last season!! No. No one here has stolen any desigens from last season or first season. There ARE no new designs in fashion. A halter is a halter, an empire dress is an empire, the peasant look is the peasant look, the Chanel suit look is the Chanel suit look etc. Fashion simply recycles and reinvents itself seasonally. But all fashion people now that you see the same thing again eventually just reworked in some way. The little suit, the jeans with tweed jacket look, the gypsy style etc. It all goes away and comes back endlessly. The good designers now how to make it fresh and new. Real designers sometimes base their whole line on someone elses from 50 years ago. They go in and look at old sketches at the Fashion Institute and see what Norell was doing in Paris back then etc. No on one PR has stolen a dress that was the dress that was the dress blah blah blah. It's like ski equpment. There are only so many variations on what equipment really works and no more. The way to make it new is in the look and the style but a snowboard will always be a snowboard. And a ski boot will always be a ski boot becasue there are only some many ways to engineer it so you do not break your ankle everytime.
My friend in production told who goes and why. If you want to know email me and I will dish. If I even breathe about a spoiler anywhere on the boards I am sure someone will have something to say. So just email me and I will let you know.

I've read the boards since Season 1, but this is my first post. Check out the article about Angela from the Columbus Dispatch at
http://www.dispatch.com/features-story.php...0726-F1-02.html.
Why isn't she gone already?
Exchange of particular interest:
Q: On his Bravo blog, Runway mentor Tim Gunn referred to your first outfit as "clown clothes." Were you pleased with what you created for the first challenge?
A: During the second challenge, Tim Gunn made a point to come up to me and say, "Angela, your design for the first challenge was excellent." When I was creating it, he came up and said that he loved the back. What he said on the blog was completely 100 percent opposite.
Katherine said he did the exact same thing to her. He told her that he loved it and loved the coat, and that it was very mature and forward-thinking.
We didn’t know what to make of it. I adored him, so I was pretty crestfallen. I was going to post a response to it but then didn’t see the point, because not that many people actually read the blog.

We didn’t know what to make of it. I adored him, so I was pretty crestfallen. I was going to post a response to it but then didn’t see the point, because not that many people actually read the blog.
Hmmm... can't design, can't dress, can't sew, and aparently can't count or read? Are we truly "not very many" ?

If you watch the Epi 4 preview, they show all the designers at one point or another, with one exception! If you want to see who goes, check it out. It just doesn't let you know why.

okay...but that meant Keith took an accessory and customized for the dog....so he did MAKE something for the dog...but because it wasn't made from ALL fabric, then it didn't count? why is there an accessory wall at all if they're not supposed to use those items? or get penalized for using them?
I don't think he was penalized for using the item, he was penalized because that was all he used. The accessory wall is just that - accessories. That would be like sending a model down the runway with strategically placed purses from the accessory wall. And then he had the nerve to say it took him a really long time to turn the bracelet into a collar.

Also this constant positng about omg did you see...insert name... design, hat was stolen from ...insert name...from last season!! No. No one here has stolen any desigens from last season or first season. There ARE no new designs in fashion. A halter is a halter, an empire dress is an empire, the peasant look is the peasant look, the Chanel suit look is the Chanel suit look etc. Fashion simply recycles and reinvents itself seasonally. But all fashion people now that you see the same thing again eventually just reworked in some way. The little suit, the jeans with tweed jacket look, the gypsy style etc. It all goes away and comes back endlessly. The good designers now how to make it fresh and new. Real designers sometimes base their whole line on someone elses from 50 years ago. They go in and look at old sketches at the Fashion Institute and see what Norell was doing in Paris back then etc. No on one PR has stolen a dress that was the dress that was the dress blah blah blah.
My friend in production told who goes and why. If you want to know email me and I will dish. If I even breathe about a spoiler anywhere on the boards I am sure someone will have something to say. So just email me and I will let you know.
First, thanks for pointing that out -- fashion does indeed recycle itself. And do you really think these people sat around and memorized the previous season's designs? If they did, it was probably to AVOID duplicating a design - not to mimic it.
Anyway, why don't you post the info on the spoiler board?? That's why it's there anyway! I must admit to peeking at christmas presents as a child ...so I would love to read the dish on who is going home! There's too much speculation...I want the facts!!

I think Bradley made that collar and it looked like a tuxedo design. If it was fabric, I'm guessing it was acceptable. The collar Keith had was a Macy's accessory with some ribbon (I think) to make it fit the dog.

true...I was reaching, but still wondering. I am wondering if we're all off base-hope not.
About Angela's article, well, it shows that she hasn't a clue: about fashion, about the power of message boards, about anything!!!!

For those that have listened to Tim's Pod cast, did you notice he said Laura was taking a nap in the lounge, that she had already finished her garment early?
I have read some post that some think Uli is a one note, but I am beginning to think Laura is too. Far too many halter tops even if they are making jackets and coats. Few people in real life can even wear a halter top.
I like both Uli's and Laura's designs, but I do think "the one note" is probably a fair judgement, but both reflect their personal tastes and styles. I do think as the season continues, the judges will begin to call that out. Remember Austin's couture addiction and Nick's fishtail dress obsession? To my memory, both were called on it.

Its one thing to remake an old idea and make it your own. Its a whole other story if your immediate thought when you look at something is to think of another designer. Think about Season 1 - Alexandra went home because the judges felt her design was a copy of Missoni (and too small). Think about Season 2 - when Jay was judging, remember what he said about Santino's gown?
I totally agree that its fine if your design is evocative of someone else's work, but it isn't okay if the design is a remake of someone else's work.
