Boo Boo Kitty, Jay, Jonathan

If we see one more red fucking dress, we're gonna scream.

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

There. Now that we've gotten that our of our systems, let's get to rippin'.

Oh Boo Boo Kitty, we love you so much. Even though you haven't treated us to nearly as many tears as we'd hoped for, you do add some nice tension every week as we lean forward in our seats and say "This is IT! She's gonna WAIL this time!" And we thank you for that.

Also, the facial expressions. Priceless.

We really support the new regime's tactic of randomly placing dangerous objects like buckets full of water around the work room. We look forward to small fires in the corners and maybe some broken glass and live wires artfully placed around the room. Perhaps for the finale they could open the workroom door and let a tiger loose or something.
.

Okay, the dress. We actually really like what she did around the neckline there. Not so much the Campbell's corsage, but those little noodles that provided some movement in an area where there's not usually any movement. Unfortunately, the color of the fabric makes it look like she's got half a box of Kleenex stuffed into her bra.


And it seems to fit her fairly well. There are some issues with the puckering in the seams, but for the most part, it's executed well too. BUT THAT SKIRT, KITTENS. What was she thinking there? It's like the dress starts off okay on the top and the further your eyes go down, the worse it gets, until you hit the bottom where it just goes right off the rails.

Y'know, the Red Dress Ladies were fabulous and fun and all, even inspirational, but we honestly don't get the crying. Granted, we have long established that we are cold-hearted bitches, but heart disease is fairly common and if we burst into tears every time we met someone living with it, we'd never get anything done.

Jay did a really nice job dressing her in a manner that is appropriate for her age and body type. The silhouette and the proportions are all fine.

But this baffles the hell out of us. It looks like the thorax on a bug. We don't understand why he went in that direction and we don't understand how he couldn't see how weird it looked on her.

We'll give her credit for one thing: she's rocking it.

Can we just say that we kind of adore Jonathan? He's the perfect blend of bitchy and sweet. Hey! He's where the gritty meets the pretty! We get it!

We also get what he was going for here. If you follow the line of the dress from the top to the bottom, it's a continuous curve in and out, like a Christmas tree effect. That's thoughtful and interesting. We also have to commend his fabric choice because we are SICK of looking at that cliched Valentine's red.

But there are two major problems here. The fabric looks absolutely tortured...

And that sash is horrible. It looks like what it is: a last-minute add-on put there just to fulfill the dictates of the challenge.

And we're also not supercrazy about the over-worked back (okay, that's 3 things). Like we said, we get where he was going. With some time and without the need to slap a soup logo on it, this could be a real knockout of a gown.

Congratulations!

Almost-drama!

The challenge? Well, it was another "make a pretty dress" challenge unfortunately. But NEW TWIST ADDED. This time, they have to make a pretty dress AND an ugly dress! Or something. It got confusing.

Yes! "Create a high end signature look" but ALSO, create a low end, piece of shit look! Never before in the history of Project Runway blahblahblah!

Honestly, the challenge didn't bother us. It was one of the weirdest twists they've ever sprung on the designers, but hey, anything that causes those little fame whores some stress is entertainment gold as far as we're concerned. We hope they set their work tables on fire next week.

And besides we got all this weirdly sociopathic "Is she gonna backstab me? I'm gonna backstab her" drama from Jonathan, which unfortunately amounted to nothing because why would you throw your team leader under the bus if it looks like the judges like the work?

Still. We've got our eye on you, missy. You were so ready to go straight to fucking over your team mate that we think we might love you a little.

And what made it so delicious is that she was completely unaware. Had he actually gone through with it, she would have been shocked.

But enough almost-drama.

Model: Lorena Angjeli

The outcry was long and loud in T Lounge last night over this win. We have to say, we probably wouldn't have given the win to this look, but we're okay with it, for the most part.

It's unique and boldy graphic and editorial and that goes a long way with those judges. Remember, we were all sick of the "I would totally wear that" judging of last season. Well, this is what you get when you have Nina on the judging panel: things that will look great photographed in a magazine.

Plus, they loved that she didn't do a dress and frankly, so did we. Any time someone executes a garment well on this show and that garment is not a dress deserves at least some props.

And it wasn't just executed well, it was executed flawlessly.

Two things we wish they hadn't done: the racing stripe on the pants, which made the whole thing look like a high end workout suit, and the sparkly black top, because a pop of mod color would have gone a long way here.

As for the bizarre, "make a shitty version of someone else's dress" part of the challenge...

Models: Kristina Sajko/Monique Darton

FAIL.

In fact, this would be the one reason to question their win, as far as we're concerned. The judges clearly didn't like this look, so how is it they won, when the other top team sent out two looks that the judges loved? Mysterious.

It's such a literal, unimaginative reinterpretation, right down to the sad little "feather."

It's a cute silhouette, but we loved hearing the judges bitch about it being a babydoll dress, since for a couple of seasons there, the PR runway was where babydoll dresses go to die.

That belt is sad.

We kind of wonder what was going on in Mila's living room last night when it was revealed that her team mate was ready to shiv her in the cafeteria. We suspect a lot of "Oh, you know I love you/I was tired/it was the editing/I didn't really mean it" texting was flying back and forth. But Jonathan, you better run, because Mila scares us a little.

Thurston, Miss Sophia, Jonathan

Poor Jonathan. We have to come up with a nickname for him.

Designer: Jesse LeNoir
Model: Megan Davis

Yikes. That is not good, bitter kittens. Not good at all.

Let's start with the obvious: concept. This was an outfit designed for a model to wear to an industry party. Let that sink in for a minute. We'll give Thurston all the credit in the world for going the unexpected route because you'd think the straight guy designer would be the first to put a girl in the Heidi Trifecta of short, tight, and shiny.

Problem is, this was the one time a designer should be hitting the Heidifecta because models really do wear short, tight and shiny to places like industry parties. In other words, we don't know what the hell he was thinking dressing her up like a slutty jockey.

Okay, and then there's the design itself. What is going on at the bottom of that vest? Why is it trying to fly away? What are those weird bumps under her boobs? Why is EVERYTHING outlined with that mauve-y trim like an anal retentive child's coloring book?

And why does he keep using these weirdly heavy, tweedy fabrics for designs that aren't really appropriate for them? And why is she wearing her father's pants? And why can we see her belly button? And why is she carrying that purse with that outfit? We have too many questions.

Designer: Anthony Williams
Model: Alexis Broker

Well, well, well. Miss Sophia home now. He really surprised us after last week's near disaster. This is really cute. Even better, it's relatively simple, which is good because last week's dress made it look like he can't edit himself.

We really like the construction on the bodice. Beautiful and unique. We're also damn impressed with the draping on the skirt. That's BURLAP, y'all.

Admittedly, the back looks a little sloppy and we kind of hate the all-gold accessories.

But it's a cute, sexy, model-riffic dress. Not Top Three material, but enough to make up for last week's upholstered bottle-holder.

Designer: Jonathan Peters
Model: Brandise Danesewich

Another really strong, if not quite Top Three entry.

We'll start with a criticism: we think the fit could have been a little better. If it had a sleeker, more fitted feel to it, it wouldn't have looked so much like a burlap slip.

But we do like the use of the lace. We don't even like lace all that much, but we like the idea of it paired with burlap. In this case, it dressed up the fabric without denying what it is, if that makes any sense.

Oh, wait. Is this about that whole "gritty meets pretty" sound bite he's always spewing? Suddenly it all makes sense.

But what really makes us sit up and take notice is the detailing here. We LOVE those little strappy things on her boobs and we love the masterful way he used that black trim on the bust and the straps. Compare it to the clumsy mauve trim on Jesse's. This was beautifully done. Jonathan is moving up on the "ones to watch" ladder. That's two quietly interesting garments in a row.

Don't forget this week's T Lo Awards, poodles.
