Ouch! Now that's serious dirt!!!!!!

Austin should not have been eliminated...he had talent,a classic sense of style...and what difference does his sexuality have to do with talent and design!!!

Well angee - - you would - - since your posts and attacks are quite similar.

Thanks for asking - may I ask the same of you? Are you an avid birdwatcher?

Wow, TTB, that's intense fan-dom for QE! I will make a point to watch it (I have never seen it!) My name is actually Bird Aileen-- I have been called "Bird" ever since I was little, owing to my skinny, long frame. I actually do some runway stuff but I'm taking a break to finish school and shiver out here in the East. I almost auditioned for the PR modeling part, but the 'rents said school school school....

nice to meet you though. I like your posts!

I have been watching this show from the beginning. Here is my take:
Austin - You gotta love Austin. He dances to his own tune. His creations are glamorous, feminine and totally Austin. He knows how to drape the curves of a woman's body and strives for the elegant, his designs to me recall a bygone era and his designs are always classic and many times chic but very seldom 'trendy'. Even though he lacks versatility like Jay demonstrates - he more than makes up for it through his gracious creations. He is a true dreamer! I am happy that he was able to show his creations at NY fashion week as the producers did not want to out the secret as the show aired after the fashion week.
Jay - From what I hear Jay got the best audience reception at the NY fashion week. He has proved that he can adapt his rock and roll glam to create 'very cool, very now' looks as well as trendy designer pieces. I loved his art deco take on the Chrysler building and his grammy awards dress. I do wish he had chosen another fabric for the bodice of the grammy dress (something more sheer to go with his fabulous skirt maybe) as neither his hot pink choice nor the later red he draped over it with Kara's suggestion worked. His personality comes through in his pieces and I think he may win the challenge after all. All through the episodes I have liked him for his frankness before the camera, he even managed being bitchy with his usual flourish.
Kara - Kara has great design aesthetics. I must say I was shocked by the white swimsuit though, what was she thinking...how was that ok for the evening wear I have yet to find out. I loved most of her creations, the grammy dress however seemed to have too much fabric, the leather tux pant was a bit too much for the long top. It did not look as sexy as some of her other designs. She is a good designer though and once she gets going she is going to get better once she lets herself go.
Wendy - She has certainly succeeded in making most viewers hate her. I sympathized with her in the beginning, it's hard to be the odd one out and she is slightly older and dresses in a very spinsterly 'dowdy' manner which dosen't help things much. Later though, I was shocked when I saw her enjoy seeing others squirm. She complained about the leadership skills of others and managed to alienate the whole group. It is a difficult job to lead your peers and I don't expect Wendy to even know where to begin. She never seemed to have any respect for the other's vision and also managed to stay out of all group activities. However, she has managed to stay in the top 3 through circumstances more than her designs. Like she said herself someone managed to be poorer than her at different times and she managed to be second to last almost all of the times. I think she won the grammy challenge as she managed to stay with the brief. I liked her top, especially the back...though it was nothing I have not seen before. Her choice of skirt fabric was nice and if she had lost the feathers and created the same rutched and ruffled look with fabrics complementing the orange top (like Jay) it would have looked even better. I would have paired the dress with different shoes too, to add that special touch. Overall though despite some winning creations, she is not very innovative at all and seems to lack vision. And to top it all she is the most unpopular person in the show.

Austin...keep on doing what you're doing,I would not worry about what others think....you're on the right track...good for you....

Wow. Such an interesting discussion since last night. My "FINAL 3" cents:

(1) Wendy proved how smart she is in this challenge. She basically copied Nancy O's top that she was wearing when she met them (orange
twisted bust in a tunic shape). If any of you Tivo'ed it like me you can go back and see just how close the front of Wendy's outfit looked like what the woman was already wearing that day. Visionary - NO! Smart as HELL - ABSOLUTELY! The bottom was awful and Tim gave her pointers on it and (as he said in his "take") she listened. But you can't blame this one on the producers. When they flashed to Ms. O while Wendy's dress was coming down the runway, she looked GIDDY! It was PERFECT for that woman and that kind of show. DAMN TIM for helping her!

(2) Austin again proved his lack of versatility, and basically handed it over to her. Face it, he's not a rock and roll runway type. And that's ok, just not for this challenge. Too bad this was the most important one for him.

(3) Jay is always fabulous, and knows that he can be fashion forward enough to impress the judges for the most part and still make it IN whether that Miss (BORING) Nancy O would wear it or not. That woman can't have anything too flashy, it will eat her alive, she's pretty but let's face it, she is the pretty revolving door for celebrities at these awards - NOT THE STAR - and she knows her place. Look good, but not better than those you're interviewing. Gwen Stefani would ROCK this outfit. JAY IS A DESiGNER for a SUPERSTAR. Not Hollywood SCHLOCK PR people like Miss O.

(4) Kara Saun's outfit was just too guetto for this woman. I thought it was utterly fabulous though. Strange that Nancy didn't mention what she later said in the judging (because she said it like it was a doctrine of hers), that she doesn't go for beading and sequins. I.E. I'm the BLAH woman the celebrities have to talk to so I need to be as BLAH Access BLAH Hollywood as I BLAH can BLAH! Kara Sahn could've given that outfit to Alicia Keys and she would have WORKED IT. This woman SO GETS the GRAMMY's. BTW, what Michael Kors knows about TIRED is A LOT? The JLo dress he mentioned wasn't all that! HE's the one that's a little tired if you ask me!

PS. If you look on the SCHEDULE link on the PR runway site (above) you will see that next Wednesday's "reunion" episode is not the last. The finale, show number 11, will air the next Wednesday, giving them
enough time to edit together all the juicy Fashion Week Stuff from last
Friday.

Check out the link to her design gallery. It's SOOOO GOD AWFUL. It makes me want to cry that this woman got to show a line at fashion week. To quite Michael Kors, "FARTY"
