This may have been mentioned, but I saw in an issue of some magazine (like Us or People) that Cynthia had catered a large party for a society hostess in the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard or some such. It was so nice to see her being successful. Dave's t-shirt quote remains one of my favorites from any show.
Quote:
IMO, all of them are pretty boring to me. I guess I just keep hoping for another Santino or Nick - they had tons of personality. Kayne is probably my favorite.
Kayne makes me laugh too!
Quote:
This comment has really made me think. Gabe is onto something here. Laura does know exactly what she is doing. She is playing a mind game very much like Santino's. She constantly dresses professionally and that helps create an aura of competence. She is always impeccably groomed (even if you don't care for the pony-tail look) and turned out. She mentioned that she doesn't "go there" when it comes to dressing in sweatpants and jeans, yet she could well have afforded to dress down for this competition. She chose not to. She is intentionally projecting a powerful image all across TV-land and to the other contestants. She's doing it in a very subtle and classy manner, that's all. (Although I do feel that the rack 'o ribs look is perhaps a bad choice.)
She plays the game well. And in a manner that is calculated to get her point across without braggart comments that slap everybody in the face with it. Give her some props.
Laura is one of my favorites because I sense that she is not putting on an act, but sharing who she is and her personal style with the audience. And her designs are beautiful as well, though not as innovative as some others.
In Robert Best's interview, he says that Laura makes it clear that she has money. He uses the phrase "more money than God." And it's clear that he and Kayne have no problem ridiculing her in private. In the last show Kayne says to Robert that Laura "kissed him on the cheek", and Robert said that Kayne might get a rash there. Fairly juvenile stuff.
Jeffrey seems to have some real rage concerning Laura; the comment about wishing she'd have a stroke was nasty. And Vincent telling her to shove her diamonds up her nose was spiteful. But Laura seems to have bonded with the women and Michael. No wicked witch is she.
So is she going around the room trying to unnerve her rivals with her style and wit and tart comments about "taste", or is that just who she is any day of the week? Maybe both?
I see her as a creative and competitive person who has found the perfect outlet for her energy. When Kayne retorted to her criticism about his design choices with an assault on her "character", she didn't escalate. She seemed to take a sip of her coffee and ponder his response. She obviously wasn't threatened by his jab. Maybe she realized that she went too far in teasing, or maybe it was intentional to bait him, and it was too easy and not sporting to continue?
I see some of the same issues on this board by the way. I see many people being provoked by little or nothing. I see several people grandstanding in reaction to a few sad individuals, and I don't know who to be more annoyed by.. the provoker, or the proverbial dog who won't let go of the bone until everyone knows how virtuous he/she is.
There are whole groups of people most likely to be on the internet during the daytime. One groups is retirees, and another, the disabled. People who are housebound often seem given to flights of fancy. On some boards we call them Walter Mittys. Some may the high-functioning emotionally or mentally challenged. It is not sporting to incite or poke fun at these people. Maybe they are just lonely teenagers who will go back to school soon, or maybe they are bored housewives/husbands. It doesn't matter. If you let a Walter Mitty get you hot and bothered, it is You who are going to sound like an idiot in the end. They have all day to post. You, presumably have a life. Learn to walk away. I never once replied to dog accessory lady. It takes two to tango.
Just my two cents, and not directed at any individual!
Getting back to Laura. It's funny that some of the same posters who are irked at Heidi for her supposed insensitivity to the large woman, don't hesitate to ridicule Laura for her small chest. I think in this society where teenage girls are getting chest implants for high school graduation gifts and their brother a car, Laura's plunging necklines are a positive statement that a woman's self worth is not about her bust size.
I like how Laura chose the healthy looking model until she was "auffed" for being paired with Bradley. Robert Best's model looks one foot in the grave already. I like how Laura stood up for the more conventionally beautiful Allison and seemed genuinely outraged and sad to see her go. That is not an insecure woman who steps over other women. Laura is probably as full of flaws as anyone, but she is as interesting a person as Kayne or Malan. And personality is very important for a designer. If I were a woman, I'd be attracted to a Laura Bennett label to borrow her attitude for some grand occasion in my life.
But I am getting a bit annoyed at Michael Kors kow-towing to her. She's good, but he's embarrassing himself.

I'm also curious as to the sequence of events when putting the show together. Silly me, I think I've always assumed that each episode is edited and put in the can after each challenge. But, I just realized that it's likely that they film the entire season, find the winner and use this info to select the snippets they include in each episode.
Thoughts?
I agree that they probably film the entire season.. see who gets in the top three and edit accordingly when they go back to it (with the idea of making a more cohesive show.. building up per episode etc)
The poster who brought up that Heidi's comment about the larger model and dress being unflattering to her figure and then boom "next week" they're going to design for the everyday woman was no accident.
Quote:
"I know Gabe has ruffled some feathers, but she has some very good points and I'm going to concentrate on analyzing them (in several posts, so it doesn't get too long, here).
First up, this economic sensitivity issue. Gabe makes an excellent point. This show has really pushed our buttons this season about the haves and the have-nots because of the inclusion of a very wealthy contestant.
Further, the personal comments from many of us on this board disclose that most of us just don't have fancy stores near them nor a huge budget to indulge in the really good stuff very often or even at all. Many of us are penny-pinchers, sale hawks, and just trying to keep the budget from cracking. I personally struggle to make sure that the electricity isn't shut off and that I have oil in my tank in the winter so that I won't freeze to death. So, when we see Laura's wealth displayed on TV, it highlights our own situations a bit. Not that we begrudge her -- it is what it is. Great for her that her circumstances are very fortunate, and leave it at that.
And Gabe is right - clothing really does add up. I find myself in the position of having to completely re-outfit my son, who lost almost 100 pounds this past year, for going off to college. My goal is two weeks' worth of clothing and underwear, since I despair that he'll actually be able to do laundry every week when the exams and papers really hit. I have to get him new everyting - underwear, jeans, t-shirts, shirts, hoodies, warm weather and heavy winter jackets, etc. plus the annual gym shoes and waffle-stomper boots. GADS, it really does add up. I'm astounded. So THAT's where all my pennies are going. When you buy it a little here and a little there, you just don't see the impact as clearly. Plus, prices of some of this stuff has reallly skyrocketed. Two years ago, when I bought him underwear, it was 3 skivvies per $12/back. Now, these boxer briefs are (gulp) $18.50 per pair, and I consider myself very lucky if I can scoop them up at the discount store for $7.50 per pair. And, I'd like to send him off with just one nice outfit for good occasions - a navy blazer, nice white shirt, good slacks, and "church shoes." But, it's just not in the cards. Way too expensive. He probably doesn't need it, but my pride is hurt that I can't do that for him. Oh, yes, boys and girls, gasoline isn't the only thing that has quadrupled in cost recently.
So Gabe's comment that we all spend a lot more on clothes than we would think does not paint her as an insensitive jerk. She made a very real and honest observation that we may well be spending a LOT more than we think on clothes. Please let's read posts carefully before slamming the other guy, ok?
Also, let's please try not to get our feathers ruffled over this economic issue. I do enjoy commenting on where we shop, etc. but I get distressed to see others reading too much into these discussions. Most of us are adult enough to just enjoy the fashions on the show while knowing that we will never be able to afford them.
We are not trying to one-up each other here and are just trying to have a good and interesting dialog. Yes, having somebody like LegendaryFace just rudely and deliberately rub our noses in it is galling, but she is a minority of one on this board in that department. We can ignore her or gang up on her and get her dumped from the board if she becomes too obnoxious for us to stomach. But, look it up. She is a twit. The quintessential twit. Don't encourage her and maybe she and her hot air will just blow away to somewhere else."
FF1, I applaud you for trying to [censored] a fight in the bud. Im not trying to pick one I assure you. You and I have disagreed in the past and NEVER insulted each other in the process. We have the ability to disagree yet see the others point. We have never told the other to get a life,save starving children in Africa,told the other to pick up a book,etc... No, we would never stoop that low.
Tone in a post can be misunderstood sure but when the same insults are being flung then there is no misunderstanding. To imply you are somehow more educated,have more money,have class to spare,etc... is insulting.
To assume you know me or anyone else is silly. You only know what we tell you. Am I really in So.Il.? Am I really female? Im as honest as the day is long but nobody knows for sure. We go with our gut.
If Gabe had said anything in the tone you used I might not have gotten so upset. She chose a tone that was condescending beyond belief. If I had misunderstood Gabe I would have owned it and apologized. I did not misunderstand her tone.
So what if people get upset and say they are going to boycott a show? Do they mean it? Will it have any effect? I dont know. They were upset over a show and posted. Life moved on. Allison is off the show. If those post upset you, scroll past. Dont point a finger and call them silly and tell them to get a life. As someone put it so well, the show and our time on these boards is our way to escape reality for just a bit everyday. We are surrounded by all sorts of horrors daily and why begrudge our little vacations from them?
I do not judge anyone for what they do or do not have,how much education they do or do not have,by where they live,or anything else. I do judge those who consider themselves better then others. We are all equal in my book. I dont care what race,religion,serxual orintation,income level,educational level, etc... you are you are my equal. Disagree with me,thats fine.
I dont mean to get al preachy on yall. Its just we do in fact whatch a silly show and post on a silly board, both the have and have nots. To have a few try to belittle others for doing the exact same damn thing they themselves are doing just annoys me.
Ok, said my piece. Pass me some damn PR punch and a cheeseburger. Lol, where is my dern train? we need another vacation away from reality.
brillke
BTW, anybody seen Lia? Really missing her smart and witty post.
Well said. I had hoped my post came close to that but maybe it failed somewhere...
I don't even think that Allison's design was that unflattering. Maybe there is something to her design that I cant see through the TV. I am upset that Allison was booted when Vincent has done continually terrible for the last 5 episodes. Does anyone else feel that Vincent should have been gone a few episodes ago? He also got all snippy with the judges when they were critiquing his design. I would not be caught dead in any of his clothing.
Sorry grandm. that is what I mean about the tone of posts. "How do you know that is vincents...etc."
sheesh. relax I just posted the wrong link.

Yes she will have a new fall collection but it will still be her style. And ill fitting star trek stuff just isn't doing it for me.
Bilke...Have your son check up near college on vintage stores for a decent dress blazer at a good price. Every kid at Harvard knows to head to Kezeers for that years suitcoat. It's been a tradtion for over 100 years there. There is a vintage shop near most schools. Better to buy yesteryears great quality at a vintage price then cheaply made new. A white shirt and chinos and he will be ok. Just know you raised him right that he is aware at his age there are times you are SUPPOSED to dress decently!
Someone asked how I know about Laura's 2nd wife/stepmom/job thing. Well. Perhaps because BEFORE PR she was married to one of the most prominent and award winning architects in NYC and they are everywhere, magazines, interviews etc. Peter Shelton is one of the most well known architects in the world. Try Google and take a look. This town is a fishbowl and she swims in it.

In Tim's podcast after the Captain Save-A-[expletive deleted] episode, he mentioned that a sewing machine technician came to Parson's to fix the broken machines. Also, the technician spoke to the group about the importance of using the proper tension according to thread and thickness of material. This was done as a group so as not to single out (Angela) anyone. In the preview for next week's episode, there sits Angela in front of her machine pulling handfuls (& I mean handfuls) of thread out of her machine. I don't know if this is what leads to the tears, but could Jeffrey resist an opportunity like that? lol
So, does anyone think Vincent should have been auf'd instead of Alison? j/k

Who will put their money where their mouth is and buy one of these things?
but I would never buy anything that walks down a runway and very rarely anything that would end up in the higher class fashion magazine.. lol Most of it just isn't practical.. it's an art form.
The only reason I started watching the show (did not see Season One and only was able to catch reruns of Season Two about 1/2 way through to the end) is because it reminds me of when I went to design school. I watch the fish bowl for entertainment. This is the first season I'm watching from the very beginning and getting into. (Blogs boards etc)
I'm also not thinking of each individual piece or personality on each show but trying to look at who's collection I'd like to see at the end so far.. doesn't mean I'd buy any of it.

Notevayas, I do see this as directed at me.
I can't walk away. Accessory dog lady literally ruined the board. She had to go. It was virtually unanimus. But, because Bravo would be sensitive about being portrayed as unable to take criticism if they dumped somebody off merely for criticizing their un-PC statement in an episode, we had to work hard to distinguish the situation and provide separate, legitimate grounds for doing so. I'm not trying to look virtuous, I'm just glad we got it done before our community was disrupted for good.
And, there have been one or two people on this board who have been so desperately lonely as to appear borderline suicidal (at least to me). They too, need special handling of a different sort and a far kinder response than their posts might initially suggest. They are seeking human contact, and just getting an answer from somebody, -- anybody --, here seems to help steady them.
Many of us have jumped on LegendaryFace to one degree or another and I certainly have led the way having evil fun making a sport of it and trashing her mercilessly. You're right, I look like a total fool doing so. Your choice of words is kind; I actually look like a total a--hole for doing so. I suddenly do see her now as possibly an incredibly lonely person crying for help. That may not be a true impression, but . . . what if she is? What if, after the next five people tell her to take a hike, she finally gives up and slits her wrists because the response here seems to confirm a self-concept that nobody values her as a human being?
It is easy to tell who the strong personalities are on this board and who can "take it" during the occasional disagreements that are as inevitable as the son rising every morning. But, it is much harder to detect who the weaker ones are, and I am ashamed that I've been mean to somebody I don't know from a hole in the wall. Even if she might actually be that person and "deserve" it, it's not my place to stick it to her.
I quoted my son's t-shirt to LegendaryFace: "Jesus says: Don't be a [expletive deleted]!" That applies to me most of all today.
LegendaryFace, please accept my sincere apology.
Yup, i think it should have been Vincent gone rather then Allison. Someone made the point that allison wasnt strong enough to win so does it matter if they leave now or later. While I totaly agree with the person Id rather watch Allison another week then Vincent.
Yall gotta check this out. I just started reading it last week and it goes back to season 1 so not caught up yet. Its so funny.

Note to damselfly, you can get some great things at second hand stores such as the basics. You buy new a couple staple items of good quality. Such as a good pair of jeans. you then go to upscale thrift and second hand stores and fill in. We hit on a special, all the stuff was 1/2 off. We bought over $500.00 dollars worth for about $20.00. You just need to know where to go.

Don't slay me here but there are two jackets on there I would love to have to wear just as they are shown, over a simple black outfit.
I think a lot of what you wear depends on where you spend the larger part of your life. My life is out there in the public , in meeting, in business social occasions and I have to dress. I don't get a choice. So, to be able to throw a splash of color in an updated style is refreshing.
Thanks for the link by the way, I am just finished with meetings for the day and going to check out her other things.

When I was in college and my early 20's I did go to thrift stores. I did something different, I would buy a great suit at Macy's or Saks and then go to the thrift stores for scarves and jewelry because you would find people paying no attention to the value of those things and you'd get scarves from Hermes or really good vintage purses because someone grandmother passed and they emptied out a house without really paying attention to her clothes. Now I just spend time there looking for costumes for local theatre productions.
Doesn't the thought of wearing clothes other people have worn make you itch? That's really scary.

Actually when your work in costumeing and theatre and you have to wash other peoples clothing that makes you itch..*shudder* once you've done that wearing someone elses scarves tat you've washed isn't so bad.

Hello kettle!
I didn't mean anything by asking how do you know it's Vincents...I was just curious b/c I actually thought it was a cute dress and it's just so hard to believe that I would like anything Vincent designed. Have some PR punch and relax yourself!!!
BTW, I pointed out the incorrect link b/c I was confused!! And, please note, I did happen to agree with you that the clothes on Alison's website were distasteful IMO.
Now for something I noticed. Did anyone see how similiar Robert's dress this week was to what the wonderful, way too fabulous Jay made in the Innovation episode of the first season. It wasn't completely succesful either but Jay went on to win the whole thing. There was a lot of great fashion made by Jay after. Let's hope this signals the end of the second guessing that went on with Mr. Best last week.
I'm with you! I love Robert, Michael, and Laura and I would be really sad to see any of them out.

The problem I face is that my son is tall, and so all the clothes have to be newly bought from tall men's shops and from the miniscule tall men's offerings in various other stores or catalogs. (Very similar to trying to find attractive and professional-looking clothing in women's departments, except much worse. There are more of us large ladies, and hence more large clothing available, but fewer really tall men, and hence very little readily available). While I do check thrift stores, etc., anybody who has good-looking tall clothes just doesn't part with them. And, if a bunch of clothes comes in from an estate, the dead guy is almost never 6' 5" or taller.
OK I change my guess for next week everyday woman has to be MARTHA STEWART not sure if anyone has made this guess lots to read on here and I am so confused

You asked a question with adding something snide...Be nice and nice-ness flows back to you...;o)
Unfortunately when someone is that tall quality ready to wear is extremely hard to find.
The problem I face is that my son is tall, and so all the clothes have to be newly bought from tall men's shops and from the miniscule tall men's offerings in various other stores or catalogs. (Very similar to trying to find attractive and professional-looking clothing in women's departments, except much worse. There are more of us large ladies, and hence more large clothing available, but fewer really tall men, and hence very little readily available). While I do check thrift stores, etc., anybody who has good-looking tall clothes just doesn't part with them. And, if a bunch of clothes comes in from an estate, the dead guy is almost never 6' 5" or taller.
I had to costume a junior in high school who was 6'7" in colonial period...Now I can sew but when I do highschool I usually borrow or rent...Let's just say it was a task. I was borrowing from The Costume Collection in NY and they didn't even have something for him.

Looks like I spoke too soon about "Legandary" or however she spells it now.

That's why I worked so hard to eject dog accessory lady. She had 100% disrupted the board and I really was afraid that Bravo would shut us down. And that would be a true shame, because there are so many wonderful people enjoying each other's company here.
There are and have been many boards/chat rooms shut down because a few people wreck it for everyone else.
A direct, sincere apology from me. I was out of line. Cattiness isn't cool. Please know I am sorry.

I meant to say without adding something snide...
People who truly live the lifestyles you dream of do not spend their time throwing it around on a Reality TV show chat board.
I think Legendary Face is a fourteen to sixteen year old girl with a huge fantasy life. I am all for fantasy lives if they are not spiteful. She should get a grip and realize with whom she is dealing.

You're right. And, when I do find it, I can't afford very much of it. The tall men's stuff also costs a lot more than conventional sizes.

FF1 did work very hard and everyone here took a beating from the dog accessory lady. Since that was only last week, guess we are all still on guard. However we should play nice till we get to know one another and then joke with those we know will take it that way. I too apology to Legendaryface for joining in.
Its Friday, let's get the punch going and the songs singing. Pass the punch to Legendaryface!!!
I'm sorry if I got all riled up about Vincent and about the show. I appreciate all of your concerns and kind words. Let me try to explain what I was told when I first got here, and this is a long time ago but this is basically the gist of what was said - I could have fun here but I should beware of people arguing and such things. I have tried to stay above all the back and forth arguing and maintain a sense of calm. I understand the story about the Top Chef contestant whom people said they knew, and how there were both favorable and unfavorable opinions of her from people she knew and worked with. I never meant to call myself a nut or any derogatory words or anything like that. I never meant to equate myself with Vincent merely because I was standing up for him. I now have to stand up for Alison too because one poster a few pages back criticized her as a person and as a designer. I am sure whoever that person is is probably in the minority, seeing all the posts that have supported Alison. I sent her a message of support. Anyway, I appreciate all of your good words, and I will remain on this board, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will continue to watch PR. Sometimes I watch and I get really ticked off at the drama that goes on, especially watching the rerun last night. I also personally thought that the last challenge was ridiculous. Yet it was a test of their talents, and Michael won, it was a surprise, but I thought Laura had the best dress.
I felt saddened to see such a sweet, talented, & "normal" designer get the ..."out" for one blunder. I just wish she would have stuck up for herself and told the judges she'd been working dilegently with some other medium until the eleventh hour when she discovered it didn't take very well once sewn. She put so much work into that whole paper design project she really didn't have much left when she decided she had to scrap it! She made it sound to the judges that she whipped that paper out immediatly as soon as they got back to Parson's and started in on that design.
As odd as Vincent can be, at least his gown didn't add poundage to the model. That was VERY important to Heidi. What I thought was really funny was after the runway and the designers were in that little holding room and Miss Laura went off on Vincent. Vincent replies with, "why don't you stick a couple of Harry Winstons up your nose". That made me laugh so hard because it fit so perfectly as a comeback to Mrs. Gots Rocks Laura!!!

I have an idea to all those whom I've not directly sent a post to why bother responding to someone who is living a made up lifestyle like you say. I like talking with a select few of the readers here if I've never directed any negativity towards you why bother sending a message. Now please let it go.
My dear, please learn your grammar before you start telling us what to do. I'm sure your high school classes start soon. Pay attention in English!
I'm going to always be a [expletive deleted] darling that will never change. I'm not a child attempting to play nice for acceptance by my peers. My parents reside in Cambridge, MA I only seek their approval. Ok sweetie

hmmm....I thought we were going to start playing nice and here you go, trying to taunt Legendaryface into sparring with you...just leave it alone!
Spread GOOD karma!!
Don't fall for it, LegendaryFace!!

And she's back...I think you need to take notice that everyone here is trying to turn the other cheek so to say. I think we want to talk with you and show that we do value your opinion. Don't turn around and do this again...I for one think you may have cool thoughts to add
I bet your some old bitter ugly hag that see women you wish you could emulate but sadly you were born into poor stock. You should be the last person giving grammar lessons sweetie.
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Laura has a STYLE -- that's why her clothes have a similiar feel to them. Go look at any designer and they all have a certain style and feel to them. Tommy Hilfiger's stuff all looks like Tommy Hilfiger. Ralph Lauren looks like Ralph Lauren. D&G looks like D&G. Chanel looks like Chanel. ETC!!
She has designed a fur trimmed coat, beautiful nude colored-sequined gown, suit jacket with skirt, pants and shirt, and dress --- all are different but have her style about them. Even Nina remarked that she could tell when an outfit was 'a Laura' b/c she brings a certain graceful style to whatever she designs.
I agree one hundred percent. Plus, Allison, in her exit interview, said that Laura was a wonderful seamstress. That's why her designs are always masterfully finished. Bravo, Laura!

Well, I know that people reading down the board will see some sparks flying and continue to add their two cents until they catch up to the current conversation. So, sorry LegendaryFace, there may be some more of this to come as people keep reading the old stuff.
But please, everybody, let's move on. She's a part of our community, too, and does have something to contribute here.
Passing the punch to LegendaryFace and toasting: "Here's flapping a feather at ya."

I think that that's going to get her a far way in this competetition.
If she really does have all this notariety and moves in the upper crust of NY society what are the odds that she has met Nina or MK on some prior occasiion and has a connection (not wanting to use friendship) with them.

**How in the world are morons like Vincent, Robert and Kayne still on the show? Do the producers think the viewers like seeing gays acting gay?**
Homophobe? Party of one?
Loved that line! I don't think we will hear much more from that poster, DC. I think you may have run him off, and good riddance!
Damselfly she has constantly came at me post after post I've tried to post insightful reads but that hag will not stop with her antagonizing posts.
