I was amazed how Angela just raked Vincent and his dress under the coals. Everything that came out of her mouth was negative. She was trying to convince everyone that Vince's dress was no good. I would never want her on my sales team.

If you are part of a team, you should support one another and the product on the line. At least I thought that was a good guideline to follow??

I'm glad Ms USA put her in her place to say it IS a good gown and ya-da, ya-da, ya-da!!!

These designers are missing out on a sales commercial of their time. I would think they would be wearing more items they made. Please Angela, your poodle skirt on acid is dead. Your pants with the lined diaper is not popular. What's with the belt around the left arm? Maybe Vincent can design her something nice.

She's the type to bad mouth others to make herself look good.

Ugghh,..No wonder you're out secluded in O-Hi-O...you don't play well with others.

I actually liked Vincent's dress, though the bow sleeves might have been a bit too big. I liked the color and the sihoulette. Frankly I hate the stupid outfits Angela wears with those poofy skirts and the boots, so I have no idea that she could even make a gown.

Wait,u thought Malan's dress was worse than the tatoo lovechild's or Ula's unfitted nightdress?The only reason Kayne won was because he and Robert(former Barbie designer) were designing for a real live Barbie! And Vincent's Simplicity pattern needed his signature basket hat.lol

Thanks - you are so plugged in to all aspects of American culture and the folks on these shows - I am impressed.
And as an editor, I'd love to get your ideas on trend...
^cs^

D'oh!! Thank you, CS, but I'm really not all that plugged in, I swear. That article about Jeffrey's tattoo was a link off of the Blogging Project Runway site, so that particular apple didn't fall very far from the PR tree before I brushed it off and took a bite. And as far as trend goes, I'm woefully backward there--literally! I'm so pathetically retro (I'm all over anything from the 50's to the 80's) that I'm barely on the cusp of cool anymore!

And now, before I get my digits swatted for going too far OT, I'd better pack it in for the night.

'Night, All, and what is so funny 'bout peace, love & understanding?

I think his hideous tatoo is a coverup any way,but I think if u look closely, it says 'cut here'(I'll volunteer!),and I think he is a chauvanistic ,probably woman-hater,who feels he is better than women,but I think Laura could cut him down to size......He is going to become one of my favorites to deride,there is so much to work with....

You are so right, there is a lot to work with. I know guys like him - squirley, superior artist types. They are the WORST to work with because not only do they not think that you can relate to their artistic vision, but they think that because you are a woman, you won't understand it (although women are perfectly ok to have s-e-x with, just not collaborate).

And wouldnt it be nice if we treated each other decent and laughed at all the b.s. instead of letting the human crap get under our skin,and yet I love shows that show such things so we can air the differences....So maybe I might learn something from the tatooed monkey man.....

---

Yes, you are right. But that is part of the fun of watching reality TV. They take the worst parts of everyone and twist them to make them into "characters." It's a tough job to not give them anything to work with.

Although, that "feminazi" comment still irks me...

Laura is class with a capital T - if she cuts him down, it will be his response to a reasonable statement from her. She is above needing to "cut a gut."

Well, we all feel that way sometime or another - but you've said it very well.
It's a travesty that Malan went and Angela (what a misnomer) didn't.

I was very upset with the first episode. But I thought, hey I'll give the show another shot. Instead of giving the person that tried another chance they gave the person who didn't care. That doesn't make sense. To me it seems that they should have let the one who at least put a design in get another chance than let some annoying girl stay in.

This is the first time I've posted here. I'm not entirely sure I'm posting in the correct area. I was just VERY upset. It seems they never pick the person who I think should go, out of the ones they leave standing there.

I think that's it for me and watching the show. It's not worth it if every time I get up from the television I'm in a rage ranting about how these "supposed" fashion judges are morons.

I understand they don't see all the hoopla we see before hand. That's fine. I think they have poor taste and are horrible at judging.

I just had to say that. I feel much better now. Just wish I could find a way to contact the people who run the show and let them know they've lost a viewer.

I was away in a hotel that didn't have Bravo (sacre bleu!) so I missed the show until tonight. I was very very sorry to see Malan out. At least he can't be the sabateur! His dress looked better on the web than the show. It was problematic. I think the fabric didn't have the right qualities to do what Malan wanted, hence looked heavy. His sketches were gorgeous. I actually really disliked Uli's gown though I see that since I wasn't the customer it hardly matters. I loved Kayne/Robert's dress. Irridescent but not overpowering. Robert must have edited Kayne the way Nick did on Santino (I liked their BR outfit but I'm not BR's client). I really liked Laura/Michael's collaboration. It enabled the woman to stand out. And given we're talking about a beauty queen, that should work.

I hope Malan gets to come back! It was sooooo sad as to how he took leaving. I understand they judged the garment here and these team things always disproportionally make the leaders vulnerable (it's better in a way to lose that part of the contest even if you cannot win) but Angela was beyond the pale useless. She didn't improve Vincent's work. I'm not sure they did anything but whine.

We have a week folks, start guessing. So far I have seen Ipod, Cell phone, and dog. What else could inspire a challange that is an accessory?

---

I'll bite. How about purses, bags, shoes, scarves, hats, belts, or all those in combo? Umbrella? Makeup? Hair? Jewelry? Parrot on the shoulder? Your significant other? Or, grouped another way ... accesories from a certain era? How about tatoos?

I dunno.

There once was a Utahn named Bean
High fashion was just not her scene
Her shirts are all tattered
Her pants are all smattered
But for sure Beanie's threads are Tide clean!

(Watch me get in trouble for mentioning a brand ...)

whoa...however, I think you may have pegged it - lingerie. Yep, underwear

I once got hired by a guy to do sketches for his ballroom costumes that he showed to clients.But I think her book was just photos of her 'work'. Patchwork things because I think M.Kors called it 'Arts n Crafts movement'.?I think.....

Well if we are going to be honest, Jay's runway show from first season was nothing but dyed to match quilting.

---

True,and spray painted headsets.Sorta 'clothes for people who guide planes in from the cold-wear'.

No, YOU pegged it. I think you're right - underwear! Underwear in the sense that it is not serving the same funtion as sexy lingerie. More like practical undergarments. Good one. Definitely a contender.
