Yeah Luz I agree with you...lol being 47 and not growing up myself I always said I would not be like my Father and yell Turn that blank off.....I hope I have evolved enough as and old fart to appriciate talent. Yes the Rock-N-Roll life style has been around for over 50 years and it has with stood the time because there is always someone who relates too it. Unfortunately we grow up and become acustomed to what the majority of business styles are in the work world ie tie and suit. But there is still a life style that Jeffery and Santino cater too. And that Life Style earns a heck of alot more money than mainstream life styles.....It is called the Entertainment Field lol and we are all hooked to that.

I can't believe all 4 win tonight. As much as I wanted to see Jeffery go I would rather see anyone leave than nobody. What a rippoff. Why did the judges wimp out like that? I'm kinda pissed.

Tam I don't take it personal...I know from your post you don't like Jeffery's attitude and That is just fine with me. You have entertained me through out this season with your post...and living in New Orleans we have a huge french thing going on here. I love your take on things even if I'm the old bad boy who likes my Jeffery. I was not trying to cause a flame war with that poster but to say grow tf up? I just called them out and said if you think you can take care of a family and provide while being away for 6 months as Jeffery has then put up or shut up!

I was surprised at how complimentary Tim was of Jeffery's dress in his Podcast... "

Well, I liked it too, and while Jeffrey's not my favorite designer, personality-wise, I could appreciate his design. Wish PR had zoomed in on those Napoleonic bees that Tim mentioned so we could see.

That is what we need on PR4(if there is one): Some close-ups of the designs so we can see what the judges saw.

I do agree with Uli's win, though on this one. She gave the judges something different, still her and still wearable, plus did a good photograph that expressed her design and design philosophy well.

Whomever of the final four win the big PR prize(and after taxes $100,000 doesn't go that far), these designers have a bit of seed money whether the winner already has a business(Uli, Jeffrey), wants a career change(Laura) or Michael(maybe start at Phat as an umbrella company to back his own line)

LOL Tam a "Weasley" now I'm not trying to be Ron of the Weasley clan in HP lol....no I know what you mean...but after every show we have newbies and I'm one that come in here and make grand statements regarding all of the contestants. I'm not a Fashoinnesta I prefer short's jeans and leather...lol But for that poster to say grow the FU! That was too much in my opinion. If he/she thinks they are above any of the contestants than by all means try out for PR and show us how it is supposed to be done...as I said shut up or put up. Simple No?

Luz that was so funny....we have a bartender here in N.O. that is straight but loves to dress in womans clotheing...mostly mini's....And if you ask him to show his disco balls...he lifts his skirt....cracks me up everytime...the women love him!

I don't think they were attacking you...I think they just hoped you got the license number. I understand you and honestly I would not thought about that only that the lock guy was there and in a sense I was safe. This might not of been a kidnapping in the make...it just might of been a creep hitting on a woman. That does not make it any better...but some men are s....

Doesn't that suck! Really! When I was a toddler we had a guy break into our house and try to rape my Mom. Because she fought him off and he ended up fleeing thank heavens they said it was his word against my Mom's. I know things have changed a little since then but when it comes to stuff like this I mean things get fuzzy. How many rape cases get dropped for lack of physical evidence and people say "She shouldn't have been there!" "You should have used better common sense!" "Look at how you are dressed! You were inviting disaster!" I'm trying not to be overly sensative but it seems so messed up that so many people can put fault and blame back on victims be it abuse or just random violence. And how much gray area there really is. *But I do regret not being more assertive*

No you did nothing wrong...forget what other people say...My heart goes out to you...Thank God the lock guy showed up....all I'm saying is the normal "guy" was the creep was he trying to help? No I think he was hitting on you. Does that make it right? Hell No. But being a man I know some men are s.... Sorry for the stuff you had to endure ,but atleast you were not harmed ,life can be crazy...thank God you were not hurt because of the creep and you can type today!

**For all of this season I have put up with the fact that Uli was making the same dress over and over and resting on the skills of textile designers. I even forgave the fact that she has adopted a region that she is clearly has no real ties to. As someone raised in the Caribbean, I resent a German trying to put forward what tropical fashion is all about. It's a perspective that would not be allowed to be reversed. Do you think that someone from Jamaica would be given license to present the fashion perspective of the Nordic region? Let's be real.**

Why not? The world is getting smaller every day and, after living there as long as she has, I think that has every right in the world to represent what she does as being all about where she lives. If a person from that area of the world did the same thing for American or Afrcan or Asian style I would feel the same way.

**But today was the last straw! Her move in taking Michael's model at the last moment and basically unnerving him so that her dress shone while he lost his cool was so dispicable that it almost made me want to spit. The vile rose in my belly as I watched her play coy to a plot that I believe she has had in mind for a long time coming. Her move was so selfish and underhanded that she has made me develop greater respect for Wendy Pepper who basically had a brass band declaring her the female dog of the show. Okay, so Uli's dress was short. But it was still a draped thing that would have looked like a smock if it weren't for the elaborate fabric made by someone else. And correct me if I'm wrong but now Uli will have that model for the Olympus Fashion Week? Courtesy is not a requirement in a competition but obviously Uli realized - like Angela did in the group challenges - that she had to use something outside of herself to make her dresses look better.**

In the first season of Project Runway the designers chose their model for every single challenge. It wasn’t until the 2nd season that they came up with the idea of the model they chose being the woman who would represent them for the rest of the season. It didn’t seem to bother or unnerve Jay, Kara Saun or any of the other designers there. If you are a designer you should be able to work with any model. When Zulema took Nick’s model in the 2nd season he was down at first but he found a way to “make it work” with Rachel. Michael needed to do the same. Period.

**To the model, I'm sorry that I don't remember her name. I don't know what it is about her that makes the dresses look better but I'm glad that she is able to do it with natural hair and Eastern African features. The latina that works with Jeffrey is a match made in heaven. Both of them can carry off a garment on attitude alone which was often necessary. I loved to see her walk in the couture challenge.**

Her name is Nazri and if you are going to go off in such an ill mannered tizzy you really should, at least, know the name of the woman you think has been wronged.

**To Michael, I'm soooooo mad at you. Your talent goes way beyond your model and I was so mad that you had me cursing and scaring my dog. No more monochromatic gowns. I disagree that you can't do gowns. I just thing that you face the same challenge as Kane....your point of view will always be seen as "tasteless" by elitist, Euro-centric fashion "professionals." It's sad to see someone who has a Western Hemisphere perspective bow to the European gods (Nina Garcia) but there are many shades of pale in this world. Just accept the fact that what is seen as sexy by you will be seen as having a taste level that's "not there" by people who where black every day to camoflauge their artificially orange skin and exaggerated jaw.**

Nina Garcia is Columbian. Would you like to show me exactly where in Europe that is? Anyhow that’s not even the point. That is how the show is set up and if you don’t like it then why don’t you pitch your version to a network and see if it gets picked up? I would kind of like to see it but it certainly would be a differant show and I’m not so certain that insulting pros who do this everyday would help you get it on the air.

Unfortunately Michael thinks this is something he can do, and do well. I remember his portofolio that he presented in the Road to the Runway having several of those types of dresses. They were no better there and that was when he had the time to fuss over them. I, honestly, think Micheal does much better when he's been given guidelines. I thought the same thing of Chloe last year and her collection proved that to be true.

**To Jeffrey. Get a life. You are just riding the wave that VH1 and MTV proves year after year. As long as its a war of Rock and Roll vs. Hip Hop, Rock wins regardless of the quality of the product. Another form of ethno-egocentrism. There's nothing new about it except for the haute couture (which wasn't). it was a lovely dress but the execution was like that of the homeless people who live near me in Philadelphia. Your model rocked it for you and everyone was dazzled by the color. Fact is a strip of white on a dramatic schizophrenic dress is worlds better than a dress/outfit that should be walking the strip. You're playing the production well though and even had a strategic play with your son. You should get paid for that kind of acting.**

Yes, I get it, you hate Jeff but to say that getting a video of his child is a cynical ploy is, in itself, cynical and tasteless. I have been with my Drew for almost 7 years and when I got a video from him when he was in Israel for a month it was like I was floating on air. I was just overcome with tears of happiness and joy so I completely understood Jeff’s, and last week Laura’s, reactions to seeing their loved ones. It’s called love. I hope you experience it.

**Finally, Laura....you had an obvious out here that you missed. I think that you're phenomenal in many ways and applaud your bravado and confidence. However, a cocktail dress on 34th street is over done. Your life is the perspective. The fact that you can look elegant while pregnant and with 5 fiesty kids is the perspective. Putting Camille in the middle of a school ground would have really told the story. The dress was flawless as usual. As a woman with ample bossom i'm tired of the drop-to-the-floor necklines. I get it....you don't breastfeed. However, I would like you to prove that you can have curves and be glamorous. It doesn't require a deep V....maybe a shallow U would be nice.**

Yes, Laura makes a different version of the same dress every week but it’s a nice dress and she does it so well. I think with time to think and draw she could very well expand that nice dress into an impressive line of clothing. There are a lot of designers who start with one vision and expand on it till it becomes something completely different. I hope she does just that.

**Tim Gunn....if only you could be cloned.**

So true.

**Heidi Klum....relish the fact taht you and Katie Moss are riding the wave. You do what others do and get more credit for it. I'm praying for Naomi....like many before her she is getting unfair scrutiny. Are we saying that it is a greater offense to throw a phone than to take drugs? Why am I surprised after things have gone the same way for the King of Pop/Rock/R&B/Soul. The higher we climb....the further it is for us to fall. **

Okay. I really have no idea what you’re getting at here. I really don’t remember Heidi indulging in any kind of the bad behavior that these other folks you name, either by name or inference, have.

I wonder what Laura and jeffery would have created together for a challenge as polar opposite in design? I'm sure they would have killed each other but do you think they would have done the ying yang thing. Would they have bombed or complimented each other? Any ideas?

I was thinking of that dress in the movie Legend. You know the black vamp looking one LOL!

Thanks for the response. I'm glad I'm here too! Like I said touchy subject. But as long as someone gets something out of it I suppose it happened for a reason. It could have very well been someone else that day. Lets all just count our blessings we are here right now *hugs*!

Bear one of my Favorite posters...Thank you. I could have not said it better myself!

Hugs back personaly I'm glad you are here to type.

Nazri just made almost every design look better. She is in my opinion a superior model. I mean that photo uli took with any other model wouldn't have shown the same character. The rest of the other models photo's look so posed and faked. I don't think stealing model's is underhanded it's good sense. I mean if your going to advertise it could very well be the diffrence between a billboard in Time Square and one on a back highway in Rural Oklahoma. It's business ya'll that's why the models are taken into account for the scores otherwise they would be pushing their forms down the runway if you want true unbias. Just my thought though.

I posted at the beginning that i didn't like Uli and low and behold - my feelings were right! that [expletive deleted]! WITH HER FAKE SMILE. still sewing the SOS! what was different? her model and the dress was short. so do we congratulate the designer of the model for having a unique look?
SNEAKY HOES DON'T WIN. KARMA IS A BEYOTCH ULI!

Michael, as always was a gentleman.

That just cracks me up....but if you listened closesly Michael said he would kill Uli for Takeing Naziri... And you think he is a gentleman for sucking it up...Are you kidding? He was pissed as all get out at ULI so much in corrupted his thinking for a day on this challenge. He did say " I will kill you" with a smile... not so much from Daniel last season saying "I will cut you" lol

Jewel, I certainly have been in the position, and I'll bet most of us have, when we think of what we should have done/been instead of what actually happened. What's important and vital here is that you DID have the presence of mind to keep yourself safe, so all's well that ends well and congratulations to you.

LOL Bear I love you...LOL

Hello everyone ,

I didn't post much last night too tired and a little disappointed. Dont get me wrong I like that everyone is going it's just that it was kind of expected, anticlimatic. I am excited about the reunion Tim said it's a "looloo."
You know what I don't like about Jeffery's stuff is not the rock aspect it's that I don't find it well made. I loved his recycling outfit, not the colors, but the make and attention to details. I liked the jacket on the jet-setter outfit but the pants, no, and the crotch bling was just nasty. Last night I really wanted to like his outfit but it was not flattering, the fabrics were gorgeous but the cut of the skirt was unattractive and the way it hung over the top of the belt made it look unfinshed. Being edgy does not mean unfinished or cheap looking. Now I will also say that I really like his final show there were some ugly pieces but there were some (the black and green dress) that were rocking and well made.

Oh, and could you tell me that name of that bar, my hubby and I are huge Saints fans and visit New Orleans often and are always trying to find interesting places to visit.

Very true. I think that Nazri, along with Amanda and Marlinda, do make any dress they wore to be more chic and uplifting. Did anyone notice Amanda's body language when the designers were picking their models for this challenge?

---

I swear I saw Amanda's jaw drop when she realized she was not going to get picked.

It is not a bar LOL but a clotheing store called " Wicked Orleans" on decataur st. It was originally called "Gargoyles" Same owners and fashion. But not a bar...lol If you want to see Jeffery's style in a bar in N.O. than go to Aunt Tikis in N.O. on lower Decataur.

Note I stand corectted! Thank you.

Sorry Typo then go to Aunt Tikis on lower Decataur...LOL
