Check your grammar before advising me on class. In the future I promise to leave the debating with the lower crust of fashion society to the rest of you on this board that seem to have issues with my previous posts.
There is no 'seeming' to have issues....I have big issues with your posts. They are patronizing, ignorant of the people on this board, and just plain stupid. None of the clothes designed on this show I would ever wear. I am too big. But I am intelligent enough to know that from 'haute couture' comes everyday fashion. It gets tweeked, molded and in my case, enlarged, to become palatable for the masses. And the manufacturers survive on the masses.
I know what I like, I know what looks good on me, and I know that although I would never be able to afford most of these clothes, I know a lot of it is beautiful. It takes true talent, hard work, and creativity to design these things and that is what I enjoy.

What was Vincent's model wearing underneath the dress? Did you see the straps? That was not there when he was making the dress. How come he gets away with adding undergarments like that. A couple episodes back, his dress was very short and then his model showed up on the runway was some leggings. How come Zulema couldn't add something like that when she got reamed for the super short dress last season.
I think the Zulema disaster prompted Bravo to add leggings to the accessory wall.
Had the model's arse not been hanging out the back, Zulema's dress was rather nice.

Have you watched a kid IM lately? It's a message board let people post as they wish.
The comment about Nina Garcia misprouncing words. That would be because ENGLISH IS HER SECOND LANGUAGE. She is Columbian, as in South America. It is her accent and as someone with Columbian in-laws I actually like her accent. I think she speaks lovely English.
PLEASE no posts about how rude to point out she is South American or whatever. So much carping today. Remarks about gay, straight, bony, zaftig, accents, mental states, blah blah blah. We are not a very kind bunch. And please...no posts about THAT comment.

I know who you are, LegendaryFace. You're Janice Dickinson, America's First Top Model. Aren't you? Aren't you! Don't deny it, you've got one hell of a Legendary Face, but you can't really comment on other people's grammar when you don't correct your own.
Yes, REFRAME from having LegendaryFace in your comments.... It's REFRAIN, dumbass. Yeah, you're high class allright.
Ok, people, you are replying to OLD posts when you respond to LegendaryFace, who actually stopped posting several hours ago and went out for the evening. Remember "Da Rules" on page 1 of the 302 board?
Rule 1 was play nice and try not to get personal.
Rule 2 had to do with dropping into the middle of a conversation to respond to old posts. When you respond to old stuff, you may be rekindling something that has already died dcown. Read further to see how others have handled it first rather than immediately firing off an irritated reply.

The one thing I didn't comment on before was this phrase "since you were a baby milking your mother's tit." That, to me, is a very hostile and sexist way of putting down a woman and undercutting her professionalism and her value as a human being. It's just an indirect way of crudely saying that she is just a pair of [censored] and has no brains. It's completely offensive and demeaning to women.
I also think that that crude reference is the subconscious reason why everybody reacted so strongly to this post.
Of course, the devil in me can't help trying to think up a reply that would stop such a person right in his tracks. Hmm, let's see. There has to be some high-road, classy way of simultaneously defusing and putting such a jerk in his place.
Hmmmmm.....
Hmmmmm....
Nope, can't do it. The only thing that comes to mind is "I was bottle-fed."

I like Laura too. Although I'm older than her, I taken a bit of her advice to heart. In the Road to Runway, she said that she never dresses down: it was a slippery slope ... the next thing you know, you're wearing sweatpants driving a mini-van.
I took a look at myself - wearing my husband's sweatpants & t-shirt. Extra pounds and two kids made it easy to stop trying ... got my hair and nails done the next day. Working on tossing the stretch pants.
(Must say that I don't have anything against mini-vans though)
I also agreed about the slippery slope we mothers transverse but I do think it would be nice if Laura could get herself some more clothes. I have seen that same black way too plunging dress for just about every runway and the riding outfit too. I thought she was going to pop a boob when she was arguing with Vincent.
(as far as the mini-van, how in the world does she tranport all those kids around if she doesn't have one?)

Okay, I don't think that that the everyday woman is going to to be an Oprah or Martha. In fact, I don't think it is going to be a single person. I just watched the preview video on-line and each designer is doing something really different.
Here's what I caught so far (Serious Spoiler Alert):
Angela: Pair of Linen Pants, Baby Alpaca Sweater, and a wrap. Casual, but elegant. Going for an Audry Hepburn look (again!).
Kayne: Making three pieces, including a poncho and jewlery.
Uli: Something patterned (of course!), but it looks like a long-sleeve blouse.
Michael: A black jacket with white lining.
That's about all I could catch. But, it made me think that they each have a distinct client to design for. I can't see Oprah or Martha asking for an Audry-look and having Kayne come up with a poncho, Uli a paisely blouse, Michael a tailored jacket, and Angela a baby alpaca sweater with linen pants.
Has to be something other than one celebrity client, no?
I don't see it as a spoiler when Bravo itself discloses information, hints, tidbits, etc. I only see it as a spoiler when somebody tells who won, who got the boot, etc. ahead of time when they are under contract to keep their yap shut.
Ponchos, sweaters and pants? Sounds like a Martha Stewart being released from jail outfit.

How old do you think Vincent's mother is?
Well, maybe 70 or so. Way more challenging that way.
How about if they had to pick a mother out of the velvet bag? Then maybe Angela could make Vincents mother a nifty bubble skirt for Pattycakes birthday party.

If I just had half the money I have spent on panty hose and suits I could retire and never work again. Unfortunately I have about 17 more years of work before I can retire. Trust me, the day I retire, I am going shopping to buy comfortable shoes and clothes. Maybe by then I will have grandchildren and can buy a mini van also!
That is what the poem "Warning" is about...it is what started the Red Hat phenomenon.
Warning!
When I am Old
I will wear Purple!
When I am an old woman,
I shall wear purple - -
With a red hat which doesn't go,
and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandles,
And say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
and gobble up samples in shops
and press alarm bells
and run with my stick along public railings,
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit!
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at ago,
or only bread and pickles for a week,
and hoard pens and pencils
and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
and pay our rent
and not swear in the street,
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner
and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised
when suddenly I am old,
And start to wear purple!

I don't download the podcast to an ipod (my daughter took it back to college with her). In the Tim's Take section, under Podcasts, there is a little thing that you can click on (it says listen now-Season 3 Epi 6 ). It will turn it on for you to listen too with out downloading.

Because she doesn't "go there" and buy sweats or jeans. They were probably the only casual pants she owned.

Sorry, FF1, usually I agree with and admire what you write, but this time you are out of line, as far as I am concerned. Other than agreeing to Bravo's own posted board rregulations, I didn't sign a contract promising to obey any so-called "rules" -- especially rules that favor one group of people over another. Most people on this board only have a few hours a day that they can spend on these boards. And it is unreasonable and inconsiderate to expect people to stifle their own responses (creative, snide, whatever) just because they aren't on at the same time as an original poster.
When I made comments a few weeks ago about what I saw as an excess of off-topic comments, I was told by many people to just pass on by if I didn't want to read a post. That advice applies in this situation as well. If you're tired of a topic by the time that someone else can get in the discussion, just pass on by.
Whether it's you, me, someone into "needlesschatter," or a "legendaryfarce," one of the "rules" of posting on a board is this: if you post a message, no matter what it is, everyone has as much right as anyone else to respond to it, how and when they choose.

that Alison got kicked off after that horrible display of a dress Robert did. All of his outfits have been weak in show and she has always been really good. Why did they consider everyone elses previous talent , but when she has one iffy dress they all don't consider her previous talent? Robert has to be one of the worst ones...All dresses he's done have been tacky and Alison has had nothing but praise from them. What's that all about?
I can't disagree more. If Robert had designed the plaid skirt from the dog challenge for the icon challenge, I think he would have won...hands down. That was a Jackie outfit if ever I saw one.

Vincent's model couldn't walk!!! The only reason he is being kept around is because he is a wacky character, it is not based on any amount of talent. Speaking of a lack of talent, why does Jeffrey think he can design? I am all about Uli, Laura and Michael. If there is any justice in the world these are the three designers that should be in the final runway show.
There once was a designer named Vincent

Actually, It isn't a cooking how-to show like you see on the foodtv network at all. There wasn't that much to learn about cooking except for general stuff and the methodology a chef needs to employ when planning and executing meals. It is truly a "realty TV" show. And a good one -- like getting a Santino show each week.
The contestants were fabulous. Seeing them have to handle different scenarios, - - making sexy appetizers for an S&M-type group's party, microwave cooking for the Junior League, catering a large gay wedding on exactly one day's notice, performing for Napa's premier chefs, making energy food for Cirque de Soleil and snacks for world class poker champions, was a hoot. The challenges never failed to delight and were just unbelievably diverse. And, it was well cast, with sex appeal, villains, nice guys, huggy bears, etc. Those chefs are REALLY competitive, and the squabbling and back-biting was priceless. It did take about five shows to find its voice and do the housekeeping of dumping the weaker candidates. And, and like Project Runway, we didn't really get the flavor of the contestants' personalities until then. But it ultimately hung together so well and created such dramatic tension that the torrent of posters nearly blew out the Bravo boards.
Oh, yes, I am such a Top Chef crack monkey!

Well it sounds like a pleasant way to put it...I mean we are talking about Tim here...I guess that means I'm zaftig
Marilyn Monroe was considered zaftig; it means larger, curvier, and yes a bit sexier.

KSboy, I can't hit the quote button because it is obscured by the ad, but this is in reply to your post.

Sorry, FF1, usually I agree with and admire what you write, but this time you are out of line, as far as I am concerned. Other than agreeing to Bravo's own posted board rregulations, I didn't sign a contract promising to obey any so-called "rules" -- especially rules that favor one group of people over another.
Then you haven't read "Da Rules," because they are expressly designated as voluntary (see below). Nor do they favor one group over another.

You aren't "required" to follow them. But it would be great if you could.

There was a designer named Jeff
Whose neck is just like a giraffe
He is covered with tatts
He drives Laura bats
His BS makes me wish I was deaf

By the way, who is Merideth Viera?
That's the same question my grandmother asks me whenever I or someone else mentions her. She watches the Today show and she knows Meredith Vieira will be on it this fall. She has watched that show for years, I'm sure almost as long as it has been on the air. Something else that is related to this, whenever I bring up Katie Couric taking over the CBS Evening News this fall, and I mention she is replacing someone, she asks who, and I tell her she is replacing Dan Rather. She looks at me like "huh?" who is he?" and I can only laugh. She's watched either ABC or NBC for years when she gets her news, and the local New Orleans stations with people who are unique to that city in terms of reporters and personalities. She watches Today almost every morning. I personally sleep through the morning and wake up very late in the day, because I stay up at night and post here. I'm a night owl, lol.

In fact, I was just doing a revised version to distinguish between the folks who are just saying hi and those who are reading down the older posts and batting out an irritated reply without reading further to see if the issue was resolved. It seems appropriate to to unveil the new version here.
Introduction
Since we are getting a lot more newbies (welcome, everybody!), I think it would be helpful to discuss the rules again. Inquiring minds and newbies need to know.
All message boards have either formal written rules, unwritten rules, or both. Some general, common-sense "unwritten" rules have evolved on the PW boards. While no poster here has the authority to impose "rules" on everybody else, “Da Rules” below capture the sense of the PW boards regarding what will help everybody have a positive experience here. You aren't "required" to follow them. But it would be great if you could.
"DA RULES"
1. The Golden Rule: Play nice. Be courteous and try not to get personal.
2. Jumping into the Conversation: Please read back a few pages to get up to speed before joining in. Generally, two pages back is enough.*
*Important Exception: If you are reading down the board to catch up and you are reading posts which are hours or even days old, please don’t respond to anything that annoys you without reading further. This is important to avoid rekindling the occasional flare-up. On these boards, when you reply to or quote someone, your post gets dumped at the very bottom, smack in the middle of the current conversation. But, if you read several pages more, you might find that the issue has already been discussed, squabbled over, clarified, apologized for and/or resolved and that folks have moved on.
3. Spoiler Alerts: Try to be considerate of those who prefer not to know the episode’s outcome before it airs. Also try to be considerate of Bravo and PR, the nice people who host this board, who have a huge economic interest in maintaining the suspense. Please put all spoilers on the separate “Washington Post Spoiler” board and then discuss them freely over there. It’s ok to mention that you’ve posted a spoiler on the spoiler board for anyone who cares to read it, but please don’t give away the punch line here!*
*Exception: Any promos, teasers, hints, etc. deliberately disclosed by PR or Bravo are not spoilers. Also not a spoiler is anything Tim Gunn or Heidi Klum says on Jay Leno, the Today Show, etc. These tidbits are being given out voluntarily and, thus, are fair game to be dissected and analyzed here with glee.
4. Off Topic Posts: As the new episode approaches and there isn’t much more to say about the old episode, folks tend to go off topic a little. Please type “OT” or “***off topic*** at the beginning of your post so that others can skip it if they prefer.
5. The Second Golden Rule: Keep it clean. And perhaps even funny.
Make it work. Carry on!

dcjewbear...I just have to know, is the fruit loop DuPont Circle?
Dupont Circle? Gay ghetto? Fruit loop? ROTF Sorry, I'm tired and wacky. Dupont Cicle is the gayest place in the world aside from The Castro in San Francisco. We just take it for granted that all people know that and, as you prove, that's just not true. So....now ya know.
