No no ... not with the spoon Brian just licked, fercryinoutloud.
And unlike lingerie which I think is suppose to come off, put your chef coat back on.
And you don't stick your big toe in to check whether the eggs are room temperature, either.

Hi - my first post here. We seem to be drifting from designing to cookery - which is fine since I also liked Top Chef.
I do have a question. This is serious, and not frivolous:
WHY is Vincent on the show at all? WHY did he win even one competition (Uli was robbed!)? I keep thinking maybe he does have talent hiding behind the grimaces and blurted-out comments, and he can sew a seam, but WHY is he there at all? I hate to think that the producers/powers that be thought it would be fun/ratings-boosting to have viewers waiting for the human train wreck that is Vincent to finally derail. There is a sweetness about him. And as I said, he can sew a seam. But, WHY is he there. At all and still? For the love of God, can someone tell me WHY WHY WHY?

Thank you, and CalLady, for 'splaining the Vincent Vexation to me. PR punch sounds like just the thing. You sound like you know V. personally; all we get to see is what's edited. And they are presenting him as off the wall. I agree that part of why he's still there is that other people's designs/constructions have been awful. As far as the age thing, Laura the fertile and fabulous is no baby, but she's also not ... sexually turned on by clothing. I believe this is called fetishism.
Anyway, I still don't know why, of ALL the 40+, creative, straight (?) people who can sew, V. appears to be their poster boy.
Goodnight, and thanks.

I agree with you so much, especially regarding Jeffrey! I wonder if we all synchronized our watches, and at -- say -- one minute into his next runway design -- we all smacked our respective TVs as if we were smacking Jeffrey upside the head, he might somehow feel it and straighten up and maybe even act human? I have seen some nasty people in my lifetime, but wow. He takes the cake! I don't tend to let "TV characters" (yeah, it's reality, but he's still a character, and a nasty one at that) get to me, but dang! He is HORRID! And he just keeps getting worse! He makes Santino look MILD! I would keep my nieces and nephews AWAY from that one; he is SCARY!

Hiya Brillke, Hello Ms. Snooty,

Ms. Snooty, I choose you for representation because in my divorce proceedings, my lawyer was Mean and my ex's attorney was one of his Wicked relatives. I figured there wouldn't be any conflict of interest with you. Also, I don't know if I could ever fully trust someone in a corner office.LOL

I'm sick of the "Michael is so great" crap. He is just one of many black hip-hop designers, only he is not a hip-hop artist as well. His celebrity from this show will hardly translate to sales (unless he makes an album). At least Jeffrey is different and original.
In the end it is all in the editing. Michael is not the nicest guy ever born and Jeff isn't the meanest. Nobody would watch if it weren't interesting.

This is a design competition. Vincent's outfit not only did not look like it would be worn by a jet setter, it had virtually no design or point of view. I looked more like something any person would wear who had no fashion sense. It may be the most boring design I have seen on project runway.
I so hate to say this because I dislike Vincent, but I thought his outfit was deceptively classy. Halston would have worn it, Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren might wear it, and any executive would wear it on casual days. Stuff like this is in Ralph Lauren's men's line all the time. It wasn't flashy, but it was supremely tasteful.
As you know, I loathe Vincent, but I thought his outfit was simple in the best sense of the word. It traveled well and was chic in an understated "I know who I am and where I'm going" kind of way.
Besides that, who doesn't love black? It's slimmimg and you can match it with anything. That and his very nice piece for Uli's mom justified him still being around for me.
On Vincent: I thought Laura's comments about him being creepy and weird were hilarious, because I think any woman in her 40's who thinks those wee mosquito bites on her chest are sexy enough to show off with her plunging necklines, and who thinks having 6 children is normal... is weird to the max.
Yah know....this kinda of stuff is so ugly...That kinda of attitude is why 16 year old girls are getting boob jobs...and my husband is the youngest of 5. Big families have their place in this world. If Laura and her husband can afford to have them (evidently they can) and have the love for them (they all don't seem neglected-check out the extras where she recieves a package from home) then that's their right...and it's not crazy.

Okay, not to repeat the last 12,000 posts, but:
Angela - I was so distressed to see her panic and go back to the rosettes - on her butt, yet! Yeah, the last outfit was a disaster, and she was usually doing something that looked like it came out of a craft magazine. But she had flashes of real innovation - the Macy's challenge, the Audrey Hepburn dress, and the rockin' leather skirt in the first challenge. I didn't like her when she bailed on Vincent and didn't help out, but he was a very bad leader, and really didn't give her anything to do. She really did grow - and grew on me - and hung in longer than I expected her to. Extra maturity props for not throttling Jeff on the spot when he goaded her almost beyond human endurance. Her designs didn't always have class, but she proved she does. She has a long way to go, but I think she might actually get there. And it was downright sadistic to put her right back on the plane - she was like a kid at Christmas looking at Paris out the car window.
Vincent - yeah, alright, a little wacky - OK, a LOT wacky. But he's actually been in the business before some of these people were born. I think a lot of his outre' designs spring from a fear of being boring. He understands ready to wear, and can design a real dress for a real woman's body - though I thought the collar was a little cartoonish. And he's a nice guy who doesn't get involved in all the catfighting - in fact, I wish he'd stand up a little more when it gets nasty. One of the few grownups in the bunch. I like the guy; hate to see him cash in his 401K for nothing. I think he's out of his league, and can't design his own line, but still could probably find a spot in the industry.
Uli - the only REAL adult in the pack; always polite, never catty - a welcome bit of European coolness and sanity in this muddle of crazed, overheated Americans. Her style can be predictable, but I LOVED the Designer's Best Friend outfits - woman and beast! And her outfit for Kayne's mom proves she can work with a larger figure - I'd love to see her do some plus size designs. There's more to "versatility" than print selection, y'know. Deserves to be in the final 3.
Kayne - Enough already with the drama queen bit! He is very talented, but needs to get over the rhinestones. Fortunately, he DOES have taste, and is honest enough to admit he's sweating it when one of his designs misses the mark. I think the time constraints sometime send him fleeing back to his pageant gown roots, but he could become huge. Good chance of final 3.
Laura - Her style is so classic - she's gotta have a career! Color aside, her dress for this challenge was a welcome softer look - and I LOVED her hair down - she looked downright glamorous! She can be - er - brusque, but it 's no more than these brats deserve at times; she has 5 kids, and is totally at home with it. "Bad Mommy", indeed! - this lady takes no crap from nobody; I anticipate her and Jeffrey in a Steel Cage Match within the next 2 episodes. Strong contender for final 3.
And speaking of the Prince of Darkness: I just can't be objective about Jeffrey - he's the most hateful little pr**k on the planet - or at least the network. I can't believe it, but he actually makes me nostalgic for Keith, who was certainly b*tchy, but not openly abusive, and who did great clothes. Granted, Jeffrey should have won the recyclables challenge, so I think this might have been a make-up win - kind of like Cher winning the Oscar for "Moonstruck", instead of "Mask". But the guy (certainly NOT a man!) is so damaged, dysfunctional, narcissistic, and paranoid, I can't believe he already has a business, even with rock stars for clients. Is he really in recovery? It can't be a 12-step program, or he'd be doing 20-hour days making amends! Doesn't matter how much talent he's got - he tailors and constructs well, but is very limited in his vision. More importantly, he has no people skills, no character, and absolutely NO CLASS!! What self-respectiong client would hire anyone with such utter contempt and lack of respect for EVERYONE? I expect him to flame out within the next 2 challenges. But first, I'd love to see him design a dominatrix outfit for Laura!
Bringing us to: ***MICHAEL***!! - What's not to love? He's bright, talented, seems to be a genuinely nice person, and absolutely KICKS A$$ every challenge! He listens to the instructions, listens to his clients, constructs beautifully, and can improvise just about anything - coffee filters were never lovelier. He obviously genuinely likes women, and loves making them look more beautiful. I was kind of dubious about the strings on the pants, too, but whatever. He's by far the most versatile designer there, and could do anything from a jogging suit to a ballgown. Even if he doesn't win, he has a HUGE career ahead of him. But if he doesn't win, this entire show is a fake, and not about talent at all!

Picture of Laura at the bottom with her belly.
Looking really good for 7 months pregnant! Good for her.
Being of the generation when it was de rigeur to hide the belly I have found it refreshing to see the positive flaunting of pregnant tummies -- as long as they are covered!

[I so disgree. Everything Michael has made has been amazing. I actually liked Jeffreys winninquote]

I'm g outfit but it was hardley original, other then the crotch bling.
sick of the "Michael is so great" crap. He is just one of many black hip-hop designers, only he is not a hip-hop artist as well. His celebrity from this show will hardly translate to sales (unless he makes an album). At least Jeffrey is different and original.
In the end it is all in the editing. Michael is not the nicest guy ever born and Jeff isn't the meanest. Nobody would watch if it weren't interesting.

i hope i got this right if not just holler gently ........
i like michael n he is classy. he has shown that he can design for all types not just one. this epi was the only one he referred to hip hop . whereas jeffery has a probelm at times translating out of the rock mode. he did a good job this week but the crotch thingy yuck. really
oh maybe it will be come a trend. i do blame bravo for exploiting his nastiness when some say other clips show him being nice. that doesnt mean i like him . his attitude seems to make good ratings n thats what it is all about.
ps.. if i screwed up on the quote thing so sorry am trying progress not perfection
ex nyer stuck in maine n its chilly here

And unlike lingerie which I think is suppose to come off, put your chef coat back on.
Oh, there could be a Fear Factor type challenge and they are forced to eat mushy carrots. How about they have to come up with an interpretive dance for bobbins? Ways to use ssssssnake in a sentence? Play a clue-like game and figure out who stole the pomegranate, it was Santino in the kitchen with the whisk...

Loved TC, so I'll be watching on and off on Monday.
It's too bad Bravo isn't showing the first two episodes. I liked Episode 1 because it's the only time (other than the reunion show) when we had a chance to see the crazy Irishman (whose name escapes me). AND my beloved Dave was one of the few contestants to finish the 30-minute challenge. I mention that because so many people, in later episodes, would say Dave was too nervous or too emotional to be a chef. Not so (IMO)!
I think I tried this once before (with a few of the chefs/designers), but we could probably pair up the contestants from the two shows in terms of personality:
Michael - Harold: Nice guy. Great skills. Steady. Not much melodrama associated with him.
Stephen - Jeffrey: Talented. Great at presentation. Self-confident (to say the least). Opinionated. Good guy underneath. [I think Jeffrey's slightly more talented than Stephen, though.]
LeeAnn - Uli: Steady. Nice (although the b*tch can come out!).
Kayne - Dave: Sweet. Funny. Talented. Taste is sometimes off, though. Both refer to "white trash" background.
Andrea -Bradley: Lovable, other-worldly. I almost put Andrea with Angela because they both seem sort of homespun, but I like Andrea, so that doesn't work.
Tiff - Keith: Really talented but devious. Feels superior to the others. Not above cutting corners (or taking credit for someone else's work).
Miguel - Vincent?: Both talented, if somewhat kooky. Capably of surprisingly good products but also capable of producing garbage.
Ack. It's beginning to break down.
I can't think of anyone for Malan. Candace could be Katherine (because they're young) or Alison (because they're both glamorous, although Alison was far more talented). Brian could be Bonnie (skilled but unable to see that mushy carrots/cowl-neck sweaters will never fly).
I've missed a few others. Robert (as Danielle would say, "My favorite!"). And Laura. Hmmm . . . maybe Tiff is more like Laura. Or Angela.
OK, this is too hard. Anyone else want to play?

Picture of Laura at the bottom with her belly.
Looking really good for 7 months pregnant! Good for her.
Being of the generation when it was de rigeur to hide the belly I have found it refreshing to see the positive flaunting of pregnant tummies -- as long as they are covered!
Much more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes than overweight teens in low rider jeans and midriff baring tops at least...
Ok, I think I've finally put my finger on what bothers me about Laura's clothes. Look at this picture. She's 7 months pregnant and barely up to an A cup. Of course she can carry off these deep V-necks. But unless you're a teenager or flat-chested, chances are that her clothes just are not going to work for you. Most of us are bigger in the chest and, let's face it, the girls settle in a little lower each year. Those deep V-necks, while a wonderful signature style, just will not work. Sigh.

I can see your point FF1. Her designs are for a paticular body type for sure. I guess the same could be said for each designer but maybe more so with Laura then the others. I do lover her classic designs but no way I could pull them off.

Hey FF1, you have a pm on the keebler board.

Oh, THAT! Something wrong there with my login and have never been able to post. They've recently reset it, but I haven't tried it yet. Will check it out later today. Gotta go for now.
