I love the judges, but they are human like everyone else. I remember when poor misguided Bradley was completely stuck for the dog challenge and ended up putting out a wrinkled poorly made bubble blouse and cheap looking skirt he made in less than an hour and Nina was just all over that dress "Oh I can see photographing that for Elle" LOL That in a nutshell is what is wrong with the fashion industry, IMO.
Rather than twisting your words or putting words in your mouth, what exactly in your opinion is wrong with the fashion industry ?
Saying that something is wrong with the fashion industry because one fashion editor could imagine seeing a "plain" outfit photographed for her magazine seems a bit extreme.
I could possibly see your point if Nina actually put Bradley's outfit in the magazine. But condemning her for saying she could see photographing something for ELLE versus actually having something photographed and published for ELLE seems very harsh indeed.
And where did I use the word condemn? I started out by saying that "I love the judges" please tell me where declaring you love someone is tantamount to condemnation? Take a chill pill and if you want a polite conversation come back sometime and we will talk.
Dang tam, someone forgot to remove the target from your back. Also think some have forgotten the show ended almost 3 weeks ago. Seems like your every word gets twisted and when you try to defend yourself, the bandwagon fills up. Take it as a compliment kiddo,

Oh and the other online phenomenon is really sick
I have read over and over again (and not just on this board) how many of you with huge amounts of posts actually think it gives you some kind of status.That is truly sick.How many times have I read
"Oh they are just a first time poster"
As if
because they don't have thousands of posts
pffft they can't be taken seriously or don't have any validity here.
Those poor delusional newbies.
How dare they have opinions when we have put our blood sweat and tears into this site posting constantly and fighting the good fight?
We own this board because we spend endless hours here pontificating our special brand of points of view on everything. Not just PR.
Socrates incarnate you all are.
Having a thousand posts only means one thing.
You just can't shut up and obviously don't have much of a life. This board does not define you but sad that so many think it does.
Now come on. Pontificate. Fight back. Let me have it.
Do what you do best and maybe you'll have 2,000 posts before years end. Oh no - wait
Before tonight's end.Then you will look at how many posts you have racked up and realize just how important you really are.
Sad!

Rungay says: Jeffrey did deserve the win. He did. He absolutely did.
We wouldn't have chosen him, but his clothes and aesthetic are not to our tastes and we're not a fashion editor.
Just needed to point out - - "Eye of the Beholder" - - that Rungay fully admits they have there own preference and are not designers.
I personally fully admit - - I love deconstructed fashion.
Rungay prefers Uli's style.
As a designer, she took as many risks as Jeffrey did, going far outside her expectied milieu and showing a range of clothing that could fill a closet and dress a lifestyle (and bring in a [censored]-ton of money, to boot). We've had to watch each collection come down the runway at least a dozen times and every time Uli's collection just made you feel how thrilling beautiful, well-made clothing can be.

Why, that's sarcasm you're using, isn't it?! Took me awhile to figure it out, because it wasn't really good, in-your-face sarcasm, but thank goodness the rest of your post was there to elaborate on that initially weak usage.
First off, you're responding to a post someone made 20 days and 3,229 posts ago. For future reference, it's considered a measure of etiquette, common courtesy and generally just plain "good form" to quote or somehow include at least the relevant, responded-to portion of someone else's post when replying to it, especially after so much time has passed. Otherwise those of us reading won't know what the eff you're on about. And that's not just on this board, that's true for most of 'em. Just so you know.
Fortunately I'm on vacation this week, and obviously have nothing better to do than track down such ridiculous statistics. Yay me!
Now, let's begin ...Quote:

Why would you tell Carole to not only look up the definition of "predicate," as if she used it incorrectly, but assert that her English and sentence structure might not be strong suits? "Predicate" was used absolutely correctly:Quote:

So, why the big brass-off? Furthermore, you slipped this little gem between your sandwich-like attack of Carole's grasp-o-grammar:Quote:

Just keep telling yourself "I'm smart, I'm accomplished, and damnit!, people like me!"
Of course, using the word "subconscious" correctly in a sentence has little to do with psychology, but at least you're trying!

Ok, here's the rub. I know that when you're first learning the usage and benefits of a little language vehicle like sarcasm, there's a tendency toward overuse. You learn it, you want to use it whenever you can, and I understand that tendency, but there's a caveat: sarcasm only "works" when it's used both sparingly and strategically. Overuse just looks desperate, and you're starting to tread that territory. I know that kind of discrimitory usage can only come with time, but ease up off the gas, already, Grasshopper!Quote:
4) Actually, my declaration of personal opinion about Laura in explicit terms (as exemplified by the handle "laura_delusional") would not be considered a very good example of being "passive-aggressive".

Actually, both your reply to Carole and your original post could be considered passive-aggressive. Neither post, although rife with vitriolic derision for Laura, was specifically directed at or addressed to Laura herself, therefore aggressive with regard to a specific target, while passive with regard to the actual subject.
Aggressive behavior, passive subject. Aggressive-passive, passive-aggressive. See how that works?Quote:
5) Perhaps you believe you never judge others based on scant information or passing observations.
You mean the kinds of "passing observations" and "scant information" you've just used to form not only an opinion, but a personal attack? Sweetie, check this year's syllabus. Maybe Community College is offering "How to Play Well With Others" this semester. If it's there, take it. Trust me.Quote:

I suppose you're trying to point out, when you call it "Byzantine in idiocy," that Carole's challenge of your self-admitted "attack" and opinions was somehow ... what, "Old?" "Ancient?" "Antique? "Outdated?"
Byzantium--idiotic? Actually, Byzantium made some important and lasting contributions to economy, science, law, religion, art, architecture, literature, civil service, government and diplomacy.
Hmm, diplomacy. I guess now that you've marginally learned the lessons of "sarcasm," "diplomacy" might best be next on your personal syllabus.
Don't worry, you've got till next week to drop the class, and I won't hold it against you. I think our local Community College is offering a similar course in "The Merits of Communicative Misinterpretation," so ... well, just offering an alternative based on your exhibited strengths.Quote:

I know it is hard to be alive at times and this is a GREAT way to vent and take out ALL your aggression but REALLY.
Is it necessary to smear these pages of a forum about a TV show with your mess.
Why don't you just ask the person for an email address so you can take it off board?
Do you have some sort of need for everyone to read you?
Please do yourselves a favor and read some of the articles online about the psychology
of the internet and why you need to do this.
You spent a WHOLE lot of time answering her.Feel better?
Well you wrote it You MUST be RIGHT!!!!!!
I cannot believe YOU are telling this person about board ettiquette with a straight face.
You really think this to be true and that my friend is pretty pathetic and laughable..Did I miss those rules ???Could you post them please?
How dare you tell another poster when they can answer someone else.That is none of your business really.
This is none of mine but geeezuz someone has to try and stop this madness.

":::sigh::: Again with the desperate use of sarcasm", indeed! By the way, what's the deal with the colons? Is this some crazy board etiquette/insider thing?

You go girl! But wait: you *hang* your gloves? Help me understand, because I'm trying to get a mental picture.

No, look up the word. Use the same big book/on-line reference you busted out before. It can be used to attack AND learn! In this case, the word means "intricate and complex."

See... you do the double 'll' thing too! Have you ever notcied how that was phased out of common American spelling practices over the past 40 years?
Quote:
As an aside, that has always bothered me, and few people seem to be aware of the shift. I prefer the doubled consonants myself. Anyway, that assertion was derived from poetry project about 12 years ago: Times Square Haikus. It was beautiful, and transformed the marquees of run-down and out-of business porn theaters on 42nd Street into something thought-provoking and well appreciated by many commuters.
Certainly not meant to be based on randomized controlled trials with statistically significant correlations. So don't hold me to it, buster. Apparently, vitriolic replies are narcissistic and tantamount to Napoleonic aspirations? Is that another board-etiquette thing? Or did I just piss you off as the defender of hoi-polloi? If so, you know, you can just tell me bluntly. That way we can enter into a positive dialogue, a framework for *healing*.

Isn't that from "The Untouchables?"

Ouch.

You know, the sad thing is that I sense you are actually a fun and likable person and in another setting, I'm sure we'd appreciate one another's acerbic wit. Or at least, I'd appreciate yours.

You might just spit on me.

Ohio? Florida? Well, someone has to live in the redneck riviera. And not every place can attract and retain culture. Actually that's not really fair of me, I apologize. Cleveland and Toledo both have wonderful art museums and the Cleveland Symphony is a world-class institution. Forgive me Lia, I beg you. As long as you're not a supporter of W... if you are, hate away.

You really think this to be true and that my friend is pretty pathetic and laughable..Did I miss those rules ???Could you post them please?
Quote:
How dare you tell another poster when they can answer someone else.That is none of your business really.
Quote:
This is none of mine but geeezuz someone has to try and stop this madness.
Quote:
I am shaking my head for real!.
Quote:
Oh yeah and BTW -If it is such a faux paus to answer a post from 3 months ago - Is it NOT just as wrong to answer a poster
who answered a post from 3 months ago especially when it wasn't even directed at YOU?
Quote:
Tsk tsk.
Quote:
Can't even follow your own made up in your head rules!
Quote:
You people really are all crazy!
Quote:
You seriously need help.

I know it is hard to be alive at times and this is a GREAT way to vent and take out ALL your aggression but REALLY.[/qoute]
Really what? It's a great way to take out aggression, yes, much like your "friend" has, so how is it different for me than for your "friend?" I've never had a problem being alive, so is this some "life lesson" I'm missing out on? If so, please enlighten me.Quote:
Is it necessary to smear these pages of a forum about a TV show with your mess.
Before I answer that, could you please ask your "friend" the same question? Because my mess is no dirtier.Quote:
Why don't you just ask the person for an email address so you can take it off board?
That's not as easy as you make it out to be. Bravo has disabled the PM function, and has for several seasons now, so giving someone your email addy isn't as easy as you'd think, unless you want to broadcast it across the entire board for everyone to see.
Don't believe me? Try PMing me your email addy, and I'd be happy to take this off the boards.Quote:
Do you have some sort of need for everyone to read you?
No moreso than your "friend" does. Or do you keep forgetting that these boards are "public?" Did your "friend" have some sort of need to be read by everyone? You keep acting as if I'm the only one here, when your "friend" shares an equal measure when it comes to fuelling this thing. Not only that, so do you!Quote:
Please do yourselves a favor and read some of the articles online about the psychology of the internet and why you need to do this.
Again, if you have some sort of "cure," apart from the random mention of equally random nothingness, please provide it. Meds are always welcome.Quote:
You spent a WHOLE lot of time answering her.Feel better?
Why, yes, I actually do! Somehow I don't think that was the answer you were looking for, was it?Quote:
Well you wrote it You MUST be RIGHT!!!!!!
What?!? Dude. I never said I was right, that's why I replied! So that I could engage in debate! When did I ever insist I was right? Sweetie, before you accuse me of something like that, at least stockpile the right ammo.
Quote:
I cannot believe YOU are telling this person about board ettiquette with a straight face.
Here's the thing: you can't see my face, so you have no idea whether it's straight or not!
"Board etiquette" has nothing to do with having a straight face, it has to do with treating others with respect as a common courtesy. That's something you and your "friend" haven't really done, so until you see fit to be less disrespectful, I don't see why you should be afforded the same courtesy.
Nuff Said

Wow- Agoraphobics DO have too much time on their hands in the house. No?

(Really don't want to use the tricky font physics formula for emphasis you offered.Sorry to break board "guidelines". OH GOD How WILLl I live with myself????.

Oh BTW- It's 'effects' not 'affects' since you're red penciling .

I am NOT Oscarsimon.That's the truth and I feel bad for her or him now. Other peeps watch and read this board and are sick of how some of you just can't let go and think you are superior in some way as you have all banded together and cannot really see how SICK all of this is.

No wonder things like Columbine happen.

You obviously have last word syndrome also so go ahead. I am exhausted because..... uhhhhhhhh..... I left the house today.
Quote:
BTW-
That other person was not my FRIEND at all.
Honestly.
I never even saw the name before.
That's the truth.I have no idea who they are.Just saw you all over that post and it made me SICK!
I have learned over the years that these peeps online aren't REALLY my friends....Shhhhh....They're just some anon peeps who love
the game and who really don't care about you.
You believe you're popular because of all this.
You 've never even met these peeps.
Most of the peeps you call 'friends' you probably couldn't even stand in REAL life!
So pass the TC punch and get your diapers on.....GROSS!
20 days or 3 months.No matter.
You're still responding to things that have nothing to do with you just because you HAVE to.
I've seen this time and time again and you will not be able to discern that because you are too steeped in this.
This has become your world and you feel it is necessary to fight every fight whether it's yours or not.
I know dear..... hon.... and sweets.
I KNOW!

Hey SterlingRose57!
Waving backatcha from my bubble in cyberspace...
I hope to read more of you on Project Runway 4 boards!
I wasn't really moved by Jeffrey's collection, but I did get a bit misty when his family joined him after his win.. I saw him on the Megan M talkshow a couple weeks ago and his hair was awful, a jet black blunt cut over some shaving, but his fashions were interesting.
All I can say about his mens' fashions he was wearing was that it seemed the message was that he was taking alot of trouble to look so bad. It was like a "studied ugly" and not the kind of ugly that happens by accident. An ugly not for amateurs which seems sort of reverse-snotty. Like he was saying "I paid good money to disrespect myself and you all by my clothing.." This is designer-ugly!
His womens' fashions are not that bad, but he was wearing a sort of mesh top over long sleeve tee with a random square of fabric over his crotch. I hope it wasn't hiding bling.. more likely zing..
Anywayhow, his pants reminded me of Angelas ugly butt pants, and this is the guy who made the cool trousers for the Macy's challenge! I just didn't "get it".
I don't crossdress, but I'd rather wear an Uli sarong over my boardshorts if she'd make it long enough to hide my wonky knees, and put in a cool bone clasp. {NPI}
