Good Morning All. Some random thoughts...
I think that Laura is extremely talented. And only she and Michael have really showed their full range (of skills).
Has Uli even made a pair of pants? In the INC group challenge Bradley made the pants for their team, No? Her flowey print dress is becoming her "Miami Vice" - I hope she can show something more!
I would love to see something other than "edgy and young" Rocker Chic from him. Can he do something actually wearable by an average woman (not Darlene)??
My top three...Laura, Michael and Jeffrey...and the winner is...Michael!!!

OT - I saw Jill Stuart's Spring 2007 collection on "Style" network - OMG! Many of the dresses looked like a cross between a baby-doll dress and a hospital gown. Yikes!

Also OT - I am rethinking the "Aged Mother" thing today - both the boys (4 year old twins) have colds! Pass the tissues please!

Garsh, just like you and your weasel friends did to me, huh? Y'all pounced on me for posts I had not directed to any of you, and for content that had nothing to do with any of you. How do YOU spell "hypocrite"? Right now, it's D-A-M-S-E-L-F-L-Y.

This is the first time in quite a while that I have posted. I have gone through so much emotionally. It has been a painful chapter in my life having to deal with what I am dealing with right now. I cannot tell anyone that I am here talking to you right now because my dad and grandmother will easily confuse this message board for Myspace, which despite everything, despite the fact that some of the designers have pages on that website, and despite the fact that I am friends with the designers, I am departing. My heart and mind have been in overdrive. I may have told some of you what has happened. I know this is old news, but I was very disappointed to see Vincent leave. Some of you may not agree, and I'm not trying to start an argument here but that is just my opinion. I gave him all the support I could. I still admire him as a designer and I still believe that he has the potential to do great things. Also, even though I did not see this week's show, I am sorry to hear that Kayne left. Yet I have had a personal conflict with Vincent, and with Jeffrey as well. I knew them, or at least I thought I did, because now I am completely doubting their authenticity in terms of whether or not it is really them. My parents do not believe it is them, and somehow I just don't know anymore. If it were, if I knew them, and if for any reason I did not know them on Myspace and I was told for any reason or another that I could not talk to them anymore, then it would hurt me deeply. Yet I understand where my parents are coming from. However, despite the fact that I knew Vincent and Jeffrey and supposedly struck up a friendship with them, I admit I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I saw things that they did and said that I did not agree with. I did not know whether or not to be honest with them or to hold it all back. I even told Katherine how I felt and asked her advice. I feel like the whole Myspace thing was a major miscalculation. It was an overzealous attempt to make contact with people who I may have otherwise not have been able to attain their friendship in reality. I have been on the internet for six years, doing business with people, and talking to people. I have seen my share of people I find suspicious or just weird. I have found my share of angels, devils and zealots. I have found my share of fake people who do their best to boost their own self esteem and do whatever they can do to humiliate people because they have more confidence in themselves than in others. I have seen my share of greedy, dirty people. I wonder why I haven't been destroyed.

The second biggest thing that is just upsetting me right now and has caused me more pain than anyone can handle is something that I am sure you have all gone through at one time or another, and that is divorce. I feel like I can no longer trust or love my own father because he is seeing another woman. Even more, he is doing this and lying about it. He did something to hurt my sister tonight. He went with the woman to my sister's boyfriend's FEMA trailer. I have seen my doctor about everything. I told him every single thing that was on my mind and I still don't feel happy. I want to change my life. I want to go to college, I want to do a job I enjoy. I want to go see concerts and sporting events. Yet if my dad is going to do this to me and my sister, then I cannot trust him. I do not want to be a part of someone else's life. I love my mother too much to let her down like that. My dad left behind a family. He threw it all away. Yet, my grandmother wants me to forgive him and accept him for who he is. How can I do that? How can I accept a man who destroyed a family and almost sent me over the edge? I just don't want to get into the particulars of it all, but that is the situation. I feel enormous pressure to change ever since I saw my doctor this week. I am feeling pressure from my dad and from my grandmother to change my sleeping habits. I know I needed help on that but I am not one to adapt to change easily. I felt like they wanted me to change at the snap of a finger. I can't do a complete 180 and change into someone else. That's not how it works. There's no such thing as a quick change. Now this is not some excuse but this is the way it is. Even more so, my dad acted inappropriately in my eyes. He didn't just merely reinforce what the doctor was trying to say, he acted as if he was a drill sergeant hammering the points home or a chairman of the board talking in a stern manner to people gathered in a conference room about how to repair a bankrupt Fortune 500 company. I went out to the movies tonight, I went and saw "The Black Dahlia" and on the way there I was just tense, I was worried that my Ipod battery would go out before we got to the theater. It didn't help that my uncle chose to take the scenic route to the theater. I had to ride with like 9 people including my baby niece and nephew who constantly make noise and such to the point where it drives my aunt and uncle nuts. All this after I went out with my sister and my dad to the mall and to lunch. I was very tired, I had a splitting headache last night and got absolutely no sleep at all. I felt nothing but pressure. Even when I got home and said to my grandmother I was tired, she was like "you can't be, you have to fight it" and I'm like "what do you want me to be, Superman? Do you want me to save the world or something?" In my mind and in my heart there was so much rage and anger and bitterness and sadness. If only I had another life. This is all I have to say, I'm literally trying not to cry as I write this, and I am so sorry if I am off topic, but I just, I need someone. I need more help than I should have gotten.

Three sets of comments -- first to the designers; second to the producers; third to the judges:

Re the designers -- at the start of tonight's show, before the shocking stunt was revealed, I was really feeling that the right designers really made it to the final five. All five of you are very talented, with an interestng variety of perspectives and personalities (even if you are not all very pleasant).

Re the producers -- Just after two weeks where I had gone back to thinking that you had some decency, integrity, and judgment, you really plunged to a new low. In the end, however, your mean-spirited stunt had an OK twist. It actually was fun (in a sadistic sort of way) just to watch those two arrogant misfits get auf'ed again, with potentially the worst creations that either of them had ever come up with. (In other words, I "got off" on their re-elimination.)

Re the judges -- Another week where I think you got it right. Michael's dress was great, but Laura's was even nicer, and I'm glad you recognized it. Among the real final five (as opposed to the fake final seven), Jeffrey and Kayne did create the weakest two designs. I think it was a close call as to which to eliminate. In the end, however, I think that Kayne's white cord no more satisfied this challenge than Keith's square of gold cloth satisfied the horrid doggie-costume challenge. And for that reason, Kayne deserved to go home, just as I said with the doggie-challenge that Keith should have gone home then.

I think the one that bothers me the most is Anne Frank...It's so valuable right now to know that there were people in the past who disagreed with their government and let people know...it shows kids that their ideas and thoughts are important and they can make a difference...all things I hope my child learns.

Not for nothing, but something is bothering me big-time.

Why did Michael Knight give the hook 'em horns sign? When he was told he "vas in" by Heidi, he walked in the room and held up his hands and gave everyone ... and the camera ... the hook 'em horns sign? Is this the Supernova competition? And what group is he trying to signal that he's in with?

Michael just dropped off my list and onto my radar. And the name? Is that his real name? What's going on with him? Are his answers being edited to make him come across as this nice, gentle, wonderful person when from his own mouth he says he wants to take over the world?

Guess if he gives the same hand signal our wonderful prez does, he's pretty close.

Wow you are hooked onto some conspiracy theory. I'm sure it met nothing and you are looking way too far into it. RELAX!! Micheal is by far the best in this competition and has the most class.

taggin on here and not a reply to the last post.

I thought I would have a nice Sunday morning and stop by the board to enjoy everyone's take on the Fashion Week photos and their takes on the fashions.

In stead I find two posters that seem to think that they are lord and maters of the board, attacking almost anyone that post any opinion that they do not agree with.

The thing I noticed most about what they post is that they both have a very similar writing style, use the same phrases, and many of the exact words as the other.

The season of this show is for all intents and purposes over except for announcing the "winner".

I won't feel the need to come here again thankfully.

Too bad that two posters that seem to be one have, for me, completely ruined the fun of this board.

Good by to friends I have made here.

I am concerned about it. Why aren't you?
It is very very bad form to show her taking part in the champagne drinking and not mention the fact she was drinking something else. For the sake of younger viewers at least! If they expect the audience to know better then as part of the audience I expect them to do better at encouraging proper behavior for expecting women. To show her taking part is a grievous and irresponsible act. How does one get in touch directly with the producers? I would most definitely give them a piece of my mind regarding the incident of a pregnant woman shown to be engaged in a champagne toast on this episode.
Seriously,
Ilooy

Haven't posted much, but thought I'd give my two cents here:

I was sort of appreciative that they brought back two winners and gave a second chance. I didn't think either would fare well because I haven't seen much from either the whole season. In past seasons, they have eliminated people (sometimes nonwinners) I've liked a lot.

Still, I'm sure glad neither pulled it out! (LOL)

Kayne is costumey. This last piece was good IMO. And I didn't think it was fair to penalize him for using a small amount of white. But, even discounting that criticism, his was probably the one to go. Kayne should go to Hollywood and design for the movies.

Jeffrey is great and it isn't all rock start. His couture piece was youthful and vibrant and not limited to rock stars. He cannot design for matrons - that's for sure! I get tired of his dissing Angela's mom. She did say bright colors and everyone knows that doesn't include "safe" blue. Still, I think Jeffrey is a talented designer.

Michael does everything right! What else is there to say?

Uli - did anyone notice the top on her cocktail dress was similar to the top she was wearing? Seems like most of her bodices (if not all) are the same. I would wear you, Uli, but this is a competition, dear.

Laura - Very talented. In my final three. How she is going to continue designing under the stress of her pregnancy is beyond me. But, good luck to her. Having said that, I wasn't crazy about the cocktail dress. Sort of tacky, actually. But not the right style/color combo for a black model. I love her model!!!! But I don't think her model would ever wear this on her own. So, maybe the dress - had it been on Laura herself esp. with her vibrant red hair - would have appealed more to me. Didn't like the stringy hemline at all. Still, hopefully Laura's in. Thought Michael - again - should have won.

Sorry, Uli, bye-bye.

Finally, no way Laura was drinking the champagne. That woman knows herself and she's right on about everything she chooses to do. Give her some credit folks.

This is the first season I've agreed with every elimination. Except for Vincent, perhaps. He's an interesting designer . . . he's just obsolete! He should have boned up on fashion before joining PR! His look is so sixties and seventies! Unbelievable!
