that's the kind of dress they might sell at that funky, expensive store in SoHo... i believe its called "Venus" - is it Vivienne Westwood that owns it? well i'm pretty sure its whomever opened "SEX" with Malcolm McClaren in London in the seventies and thus sparked all that might be referred to as 'punk' fashion.
I disagree that they would sell that dress, even though I do think it was better than Wendy's and Nora's in that competition. And possibly Starr's. The store (House of Venus) is owned by Patricia Field, who was the guest judge in the "Innovation" challenge. Vivienne Westwood was the one who ran SEX with Malcolm McLaren, though.

Good article. I love Wendy, but the title "Stitch [expletive deleted]" made me laugh. I was kind of taken back that the writer said that it is still questionable whether Kara is as talented as Jay: I have never head anyone say that before! The season finale of this show is going to be great!
I agree. I think it's so cool that the people on the message boards are getting noticed! Maybe we can instigate a *rolls the r* revolution! Mwa ah ah ah ah...

actually we found out she did wear the dress, albeit very altered. the color is the same, but the shape of the top and the skirt are really different.
id put the URL here for you but the Bravo Board Boss keeps editing it out of posts. Just got to Access Hollywood and click on the Behind the Scenes slideshow. She is picture number 11.
went to Acess Hollywood website. on my monitor the color is not as deep an orange as Wendy's. you are not kidding the top and skirt are different. different fabric, different shape - it's not Wendy's design except maybe the shape of bust area. otherwise, it's almost a complete redo. makes me feel am right that the last challenge was a complete wash. this should not have been the last one.

Ok lets stop saying Wendy designs for Middle America. On her own website there are only like 4 gowns (and everything on there was gowns nothing else it seemed) that were not completely see thru.
Yeah, a lot of women in middle America have been seen sporting sheer dresses with no backs to the skirt!

OR, it would have been more exciting to have the results of the gown competition be independent of the final three choice. Wendy wins (and Nancy DOESN'T wear her dress on the green carpet, so how fair is that?), but Austin, Kara Saun and Jay go on to be in the final three based on their previous performance, maybe a composite of all their prior scores.

the dress, in my opinion, only slightly resembles Wendy's original design. I wonder who "tweaked" it for her? After seeing most of the red carpet photos, I think Austin's dress would have worked beautifully.
Just more proof that the producers had their hand in the decision. I mean...come on. You'd think that someone in the "entertainment know" as much as Ms. Odell would have known that Austin's dress would fit in this year.
It just sucks that she liked Jay's dress all except for the top which could have been changed a lot easier than what they did to Wendy's. I mean, The shape of the top stayed the same but the back was changed and the pleats on the top were not there. Also, She obviously had an entirely new skirt built. And what is that skirt made out of? Eyelet?? It is hard to tell. It better not be sequence after what she said about Kara's (or was it jay's).
Anyway...it was way better without the feathers I have to admit...but without them it was kinof safe. It missed the funkiness she so despirately craved.

Can't claim to hate or love Wendy, but she showed integrity telling what she thought of Kevin's leadership in the futuristic design episode where he was group leader. Wendy's statements onstage matched her statements off-stage. Most others condemned Kevin offstage to the camera but supported him onstage. Those who supported Kevin were actually lying to promote themselves as good group workers. Wendy's behavour there, while not friendly, was truthful at least and not sucking up to the judges' expectations.
Hi Thumbprint. Good to meet you. If you have time, go back and read some older posts concerning the Kevin/Wendy issue. A lot of Wendy Defendys think that she is such a spectacularly honest individual, and should be lauded for her blatant honesty and integrity.
But, if you watch that episode again, Wendy was not at all honest to Kevin. She got so buddy-buddy with Kevin, that he wondered if he was being played or not, and in the end, he was being played - by Wendy.
What I can't understand is why dissing someone in public is seen as a form of honesty by some posters on these boards. Is this what we do? Diss co-workers to bosses (or judges?) Do people do this in real life and is this type of behavior rewarded? Most of us, when put on the spot, don't take the opportunity to skewer a co-worker with glee. I know, because I was just in this situation. Most people tend to hold back and try to be very diplomatic. Wendy, in several cases on this show, is no diplomat.

Hi everyone,
let me first say I love the show and I can't stand Wendy.
I'd like to offer my advice to all the designers as they comprise their collections.
Kara = think of designs that suit a variety of people not just the clothing you yourself would wear.I think this is the only reason your design for the grammy's didn't beat Wendy's.Remember you must remain versatile.
JAY = Stay true to the hard edge that separates you from the other designers.Don't try to imitate what you think will win the compitition have confidence in yourself and just do what you do best, No one can beat you at your own game.
WENDY= Your best quality is your ability to listen to what an individual or mainstrean client needs.I believe you are best suited for ready to wear production not Haute Couture.
You lack the creative energy,vision and Style.
***And remember what goes around comes around. You should change your direction...
AUSTIN =If the competition were based on creative talent you would be the winner. You must learn just as quoted by other famous Designers that Fashion is also a business. You must listen to instruction to survive: I hate that you will not be showing your own private line, Please take heart and don't throw away another grand opportunity like this one because of stubborness.
ROBERT= I believe you are a talented Designer you just may not be suited for evening wear I think you should try your hand at sportswear (It matches your laid back appeal) But in any case Don't stop designing.Good Luck!!!
NORA=I don't believe the show was ready for such a self assured strong competitor.Your design style is sharp,cutting edge and inventive, reminisive of the true couturist in fashion. Keep truckin' and We'll look for you in the sky
ALEXANDRIA= Your dress made of stockings was magic, I loved it,surely you are very talented and will do well.
(just learn not to expose your sources)
If any of you would like to contact me conserning my opinions. I welcome your messages. Good Luck on the final challange I'll be waiting to see what wonderful madness you all create. See you soon.

Apparently you aren't reading what other people have said by reviewing earlier episodes. Even some willing to give Wendy some benefit of the doubt, like Morgasmo, have backed off. Maybe you ought to see how other designers (who knew her minus the editing) feel about her.

WOW! I am an aspiring fashion designer and I am blown away by Kara Saun- She truly is a professional and her creativity with every challenge is absolutely sensational (isn't she the only one to win 4, (over 4?) challenges)- And she seems so calm and in control during everyone's bitchin' and whining.
Every designer on the show displayed originality and a very impressive outlook towards fashion.
Jay is amazing and has great visions when he creates.
My vote is def. for Kara she has it in the bag- her versatility is astonishing-i'm wondering why she isn't an established
designer-KARA you kick some major derriere! I'm a huge fan.

SAY WHAT?! Wendy, if you actually said this, please get some help!
Scenario: Wendy comes out of that workroom, followed by the PR cameras, after she found the mark on her daughter's picture with all pistols shooting at the four remaining "fellow" contestants blaming them and whoever else for making such a mark. The other four, who were apparently trying to steal some moments away from the camaras, were caught totally off-guard by being accussed of cruel sabotage and it was clearly evident Wendy was totally out of control.
Who in their right mind is going to comfort a 40 year old child throwing a tantrum?! All four, Austin, Robert, Jay, and Kara were obviously at a total loss as to what this woman was talking about. She had to explain it to them totally and then they all spoke that no one in that room would have done such a thing. Robert, in a very comforting voice offered her some very nice verbal consolation.
My lord, what did she want from them! She definitely was never touchy, feely with any of them in the first place. She calls her help, help?--she always had ulterior motives in anything she said or did to or for any of them. She was a saboteur from day one--clearly set to her own agenda no matter what she had to risk! Also, did she bring the picture with her? No, they all had to go back to the workroom to see what she was talking about, and when they did see it, didn't they all agree it was mean, intentional and uncalled for? Whoever did it, was it mean? Yes. Was it called for? No. She was no threat to anyone and they all knew it.
To that--the conclusion in so many ways points to someone from the production crew, thus why did they have the cameras on her at the moment of her discovering the marked photo in the first place rather than the other 4 designers in the break room.
And for one last time, it was a mark on a photograph! I'm sure she has many more, same age of her child, same type of moment. Duh, she has a digital camera! No one died, no one was even hurt for Christ's sake! What in the world were they suppose to comfort! And again, if it was such a "precious" and unreplacable photo, as I and many other posters have said, then why did she have it loose and unprotected in her work area in the first place...PR, Wendy, whatever you think you are pulling over on everyone other than our strings on that no one can be this stupid, sick, and ridiculous!

We all know by now (hopefully) that Nancy O'Dell did wear the orange dress at the Grammy's. Yes, it was tweaked ALOT! And when the credits rolled at the end of Access Hollywood this evening it said Nancy O'Dell's Grammy dress by Wendy Pepper. Now we should move on! I think Austin will be fine in the long run! And I can't wait until the two hour show this Wed.! Hopefully there will be a second season and I wish they would do away with the eliminations and use a point system so we could see how all the designers handle each challenge. LOVE this show!!!

Also, isn't this the same Wendy Pepper who says she loves to see people who make her life difficult squirm, and that she could stay in that moment forever? A-a where's the compassion...where's the humanitarian in wanting to win just to see Kara in your rearview mirror, huh? Oh, of course we all know it is all about Wendy, isn't it? Everybody there competing for Project Runway had to love Wendy, or they were not compassionate or a humanitarian, no matter what on earth Wendy did to any of them or the other designers that they actually did befriend and come to respect and love.

Several thoughts.....1. Everyone should read what annoyedbyidiots has to say again. The latest is under website Episodes pg74. Is that you Tim as your alter ego expressing yourself again? 2....I keep looking at the grammy designs from PR and they remind me of flowers. Jay's dress reminds me of a garden rose or a tulip(I want that dress). Austin's design reminds me of Georgia Okeeffe's watercolor paintings of an iris. Kara's design reminds me of a canna lily. Wendy's dress does remind me of The Great Pumpkin from Charlie Brown, but if it has to be a flower, may be a marigold (They do not have a pleasing smell), stretching it would be a bird of paradise, being asymmetrical for the top. 3.... The final show was a sad ending for me. Of course the elimination of Austin was in poor taste but what also saddens me most is that I will not see these designers compete from design sketch, fabric selection,and construction to finish garment. I already know what their runway designs are. This wednesday special show may not show any new designs just verbal rehash. The show's strength and beauty was about seeing a designer create. We laymen only ever see the final product.

I know Eve wore 2 different outfits, one going in and one for the stage I think. The one I'm talking about was some red...something. As for Gwen, she makes her own clothes and I've always loved her style but I can't figure out what she was thinking!

There was even one person who posted that Kara had the bad diva-like attitude while Wendy is beautiful on the inside. COME ON!
There are a many of reality show "villans" that I've grown to like, however, I wouldn't sit and spend precious time trying to defend their actions and paint them for other than what they are or how they are acting.

BTW, just regarding my "change of heart": I am not really disagreeing about La Pepper being in the top 3 because I didn't care for Austin's designs. I just won't really give her the benefit of the doubt anymore, in light of her comments on the Envy episode (2nd episode!!! Can't chalk it up to pressure when she's saying this stuff way back when).
Anyway, 1 more day before the drama unfolds. I keep thinking Wendy is not the one who walks out of the set. Wouldn't that be a touch too predictable? Anyways...

Can't claim to hate or love Wendy, but she showed integrity telling what she thought of Kevin's leadership in the futuristic design episode where he was group leader. Wendy's statements onstage matched her statements off-stage. Most others condemned Kevin offstage to the camera but supported him onstage. Those who supported Kevin were actually lying to promote themselves as good group workers. Wendy's behavour there, while not friendly, was truthful at least and not sucking up to the judges' expectations. And I was really disappointed to hear Jay say he hated Wendy at end of last episode.
INTEGRITY? From Wendy regarding Kevin???? You should read what she said in her own words on her website:
"I saw a weakness in Kevin, and I decided to exploit it. I’m not saying that was a kind thing to do, but in a competitive environment that is considered intelligent strategy. He seemed ambivalent about his role as a leader, and unsure about how to take command of the design challenge. "
So, instead of making that observation and trying to be helpful she pretended to be friendly with him the whole time, never mentioning that she had any problem with his leadership TO HIM DIRECTLY (yet, she did it behind his back to Tim). I Tivo'ed all the episodes since I was recording them for a friend. NO ONE else bashed Kevin behind his back - NO ONE. You are 100% wrong about that. Kara Saun said, that if he were a better leader he wouldn't let anyone try to take over. But that's a far cry from continually, after others said, "he wasn't the greatest, but not the worst", insisting to the judges that the collection didn't work because of him. By the way, although she pretended that ousting Morgan wasn't strictly to save her ass, she stated that it was because she was a "team player" and she was really doing it for the team - what a laugh!
I'm sorry, just a little sick of hearing people support this woman and distorting "reality". If you like her clothes, fine. But this is not a person with integrity. If you want to see the show again it's repeating CONSTANTLY on BRAVO over the next few weeks. Watch it and see how it ACTUALLY played out.
How about the chopping block moment on the Postal Carrier challenge.
It was Robert or Wendy. Granted, her "design" was better executed than his. But, notice her demeanor when sweet - cute Rob looks to her
in solidarity - she stares coldly forward. Then cooing "oh sweetie" when he comes to the back. If anyone behaved that way toward me or anyone I knew I would have no choice but to keep a distance. The others aren't turning nasty, they are simply expressing honestly how they feel - betrayed.

Truthfully, I didn't take your post personally at all, but I will stand by my assertion, Puddinhead, that some of your comments in your posting were out of the scope of Austin's designs. Frankly, I don't think I'm the only viewer that shares this sentiment, as some of the replies on the following pages of your original post would seem to indicate.
But I leave it to our fellow message board posters. Folks, if anyone is so inclined, please refer to Page 337 of the Designers posting for Puddinhead's posting on Austin's elimination.

This is a quote on the Model message board. Just wanted everyone to see it.
"Jay is a very fair competitor..and just a nice guy! And keep in mind to all who were offended by his comments: they take so much of the interviews out of context and edit them to their liking...they have a way of making anyone look how they want them as a character on the show = reality TV!
In fashion week I was in Jay's finale outfit...the last of the show in the pink feathery looking gown with the fuschia headphones...funny we could barely hear anything with those things on!
We all definately talked about the designers and the eliminations..some were upsetting..some we could see coming..we weren't allowed to hear the Q&A's with the designers so we only saw that part when it aired...we all definately had favorites and developed relationships with certain designers i.e. Jay and I and Jenny with Kara-Saun.
My personal favorite was Jay's bathing suit...it was a little tight but I felt it was the most complete and coolest looking suit..I REALLY wanted him to win that one! Maybe I should have sat on the Page Six guy's lap or something..ha ha....I actually have no clue who defaced Wendy's picture...and as much as Wendy isn't my favorite, it's a nasty thing to do...we had an inkling that maybe that maybe it was production who did it to create more tension and drama with the designers?'

I understood Olga's frusteration with her wedding dress....it wasn't the best and it wasn't lined so the inside bodice felt like sand paper...poor girl! Morgan supplied pretty much all the drama in the beginning, we all acted crazy but they chose to pinpoint her I guess for entertainment's sake. I didn't get to know her too well but I can say she likes the spotlight...ok...now...Wendy..eek....she is very passive aggressive and vindictive. She'll be all sweet to your face and then bash you behind your back...I guess that's the method she chose to use and somehow she made it this far...I really can't believe it..no one can...so many of the other designers that have been booted off deserve her place so much more!!! It's frusterating even watching it in TV even though I already know what's about to happen!
p.s. I love Austin but my wedding dress was quite far off from what I had envisioned...I guess only having a half an hour to discuss ideas wasn't long enough! It was kind of embarrassing and I know he wasn't happy either...but that's over now! phew! Thanks guys!"

She clearly does not understand how other people see her and thus cannot fathom their responses. Her bad acts are always defensible AND she wants them to like her? Huh? Who was going to "take care" of her and WHY? What a headcase. Morgan is clearly sane next to her.

i think the term you're looking for is "sociopath."
definition: superficial charm, manipulative, grandiose sense of self, pathological lying, lack of remorse, shame or guilt, shallow emotions, lack of empathy, poor behavior controls, unreliability, parasitic lifestyle, etc., etc.
she doesn't feel remorse for what she does. It's like she feels everyone should just take all she gives but not hold her responsible for it.
That's a PERFECT description!!

I think I read on another category that there was a picture of Nancy in "the dress" on the Hollywood Access website. Got to www.accesshollywood.com, go to Special Images, click to #11. Haven't checked it myelf, but that's where another paoster said Nancy was wearing the dress, tweaks and all.

has anyone from these boards contacted wendy via her site? i am so tempted, so help me G*d.
i tried once before i found these boards. she has a spam filter on it. you have to give personal information before it will be accepted. i didn't do it. thought she must've gotten a truckload of stuff to do that. it really isn't a spam filter, imho.
couldn't you just put fake information?
not sure. the company she uses is the same one i use and not sure if they check the email addie against personal info. i know for a fact they can check. kept getting bogus email generated from a certain email address and they were able to track it down. could tell me city, state, business name, etc.
I have contacted her about four times from her website, and a few more through email. Her site will not work with fake info. What the hell - I used my info, my hubbies, my sisters, my friends (with their approval). If you are on a reality show and act like this - be ready for some feedback. Besides - she asks for feedback on her site. I email my two sense and I have copied and pasted some of the best messages posted here to her.
What's the worst she could do to me for hating her and telling her so?..... Make me wear one of her designs? AAAAHHHHH!!!

This didn't happen the first few times I emailed her. Seems she is getting too much feedback and now has all kinds of blockers in place. But, the return email was from Wendypepper@earthlink.net

Just looked at the Ralph Lauren FW pictures on gettyimages. Lauren also did aviator stuff, complete with the leather and fur coats headgear and glasses, and did slick, sexy and lovely evening wear. I know poor KS probably didn't get help to do her work, and RL probably has 500 legal and illegal elves to assist, but the cut, construction and fit of the RL clothes to my eye are just spectacular, and really demonstrated the difference between a truly established designer and a promising newcomer like KS. Actually, if the judges/producers wanted to tip it to Jay, the similarity to the Lauren show might do it, no? (Before you flame me, I like KS and think she's great, but I am definitely rooting for Jay.)

I am sorely disappointed in seeing Austin booted! The judges have been inconsistant in their pontificating. Wendy has been discussed in a negative manner from the very beginning, and indeed, her first attempt sums up the scope of her ability. Jay is the antithesis of Austin- both extremely talented. Kara Saun is a professional of experience, and taste. Austin, for all his youth, has a long career in front of him- a bit naive, but that can be construed as an asset. I trust his imaginative, sensuous, elegant creations will be worn in the future- the world needs a bit more beauty. If I could raise $100,000 I would happily front him in a business venture!
