i love angela.. (of course).. and i'm very sad to see her go! i just loved her style and point of view. but sadly she just made a huge mistake in the fabric department! it did not travel well at all!

i give her props for totally staying true to her unique style though.. she wanted those rosettes on her ass and by golly she put them on there!

she really is a great designer though.. if you ever notice the detailing in her work.. it is very very impressive, especially considering the limited time they have to make these garments!



and... i still say her fashion icon dress is the best design this season.. period!

I still watch.

I agree with you that I wonder if Laura isn't suffering from Uli's disease. I guess we'll have to wait and see. and I also agree the whole Paris thing was f*in stupid. wtf?

Vincent - for the simple fact that he had never made menswear, he did ok. it was boring, but it was good.

Kayne - he is slightly over the top, but I don't think it was tacky. I actually could see that shirt on many Hollywood celebs at a premiere or something. it wasn't AS bad as they made it out to be. I mean, I wouldn't wear it, but I wouldn't think someone looked, as they said, ridiculous.

Laura - it really washed her out, I think. but the construction and execution was amazing.

Michael - yeah, I didn't really get this or why it was all the rage. it was kinda boring. and I didn't like the "all white" look

Uli - I'm starting to bore of her looks. don't get me wrong, they are all lovely, but I just wonder if she's limited to just that.

Jeffrey - hate him. he is such a c*nt.

Angela - it was awesome how she held her own without getting way emotional. she stood up for herself and her mom the best she could. she tried hard. I didn't really like her, but she had guts and tried. auf wieddersehn (or however the hell you spell it)

I really liked last night's episode, even though the Paris thing seemed so random. Maybe the designers got a couple of days of R&R while they were there? Anyway...

Michael: Not his best work, but it was nice. Black men with fit bodies can pull off an all white outfit, which he obviously did. As far as jetetting goes, the clothes really didn't fit the challenge. I did happen to love the pants.

Uli: A colorful print dress? How strange... She's cute, and has a great personality but I'm just not feeling it with her. She needs to really start changing it up.

Which brings me to Laura. Once again the same old dress, with a little knot on it. Well excuse me while I call Vogue. The chick better get something different on the runway, and fast.

Kayne: I've seen shirts that resemble his, which are usually worn by gay men referring to themselves as "bois". It was a little on the tacky side, but so is Kayne. He's tacky chic, right down to the rhinestones. The good thing about him is that he seems open enough to take advice from the judges and tone it down a tad.

Vincent: For a guy that never designed menswear, it turned out very nice. It seems a little "Target", but I think this is really what he would wear if he was party hopping. I'm just glad there weren't any crazy Vincent additions. He could have saved some of that garbage from two challenges ago and glued it on. I wouldn't out it past the guy.

Jeffrey: The guy looked ridiculous, plain and simple. Picturing him walking in the Paris workroom makes me chuckle still. The pants were so tight that it made him look unproportioned. Those sunglasses, the purple, the everything. Just...yuck. Jazz, c*nt is the perfect word for him. Right on.

Angela: ROSETTES! I knew those things would be her downfall. That fabric was all wrong, and she knew it once she got to Paris. I have to hand it to her because she sucked it up about last week's fiasco and was adult about it. I was expecting some tear filled accusations and childish bickering. Jeffrey took care of the childish behavior, leaving Angela to look like the mature one. I'm still not sad to see her leave though. She just wasn't "there" with her designs.

oh my gawd. i haaaaaate him. but anyway.

michael: loved the outfit. so clean and fresh, he woulda looked great wherever he was jetsetting. also loved the tasteful bling.

uli: so fabulous. i love her. sure, maybe she's stuck in a rut, but it's a beautiful, colorful rut, and i love it. what's wrong with having a signature look when you're a fashion designer?

angela: ok, angela's stuck in a rut too. it's called FUG. omg, what was she thinking with those rosettes? ouch. that hurt my everything. the whole "fug boho" look that's popular these days doesn't make sense to me. anyway, she didn't even boho, it was more like ... hobo.

kayne: i love kayne. apparently i love tacky just as much as he does, because i loved his outfit. i know it doesn't really have a place on this show, tho ... so i hope he tones it down next time. i would love for the top 3 to be kayne, laura, and michael.

laura: how classy and elegant is this bitch? she has impeccable taste and skill. her dress was beautiful. maybe a more saturated color would have looked better with her complexion, but i still love it.

jeffrey: hate him.

vincent: hate him. i think they were too easy on him. yes, it was basic black, but the pants looked like **** and the neckline of the **** moved weirdly when he walked.

I don't understand Angela's appeal. I respect her a little more since she was so mature and didn't give into Jeffrey's bickering. But I still don't like her.

But I love Vincent and most people hate him. So, different strokes for different folks, right? Cool sig. btw... I should make a Vincent one!

My favorite line last night was when the judges asked Vincent "Where's the twist?" and he said "I'm the twist!"

Why do you say that? Several of us are watching it faithfully.


Laura - ITA with Carrie - how classy is this bitch? Loved the dress, loved the fabric. My only minor complaint is the color - she's very pale and it made her look a bit washed out. I think it would have been better in either a chocolate brown or a deep eggplant. But I could totally see a rich socialite jetsetter flying around the world in that, getting right off the plane & heading out to dinner. And once again, she gets the quote of the day "We don't have time to dick around here..." That, and she called Jeff an asshole again. She's my idol.

Michael - Soooooo not my taste, but the guy is good. I could see Puff Daddy (or whatever the f*ck his name is now) or Kanye West walking out of a plane wearing that. Current & trendy, but not loud or over the top.

Kayne - Sweet Jesus. Looked like a male figure skater's costume. Even my beloved Neil Diamond wouldn't have touched that outfit. Tacky, tacky tacky. Although, I did love the belt buckle..... I felt really bad when that snooty French designer said "Kayne, you look ridiculous." Harsh. Poor guy.

Jeffrey - The guy's a dick. I wanted to hate his design. But I didn't. Not sure why, but it worked for me. He met the criteria of the challenge very well.

Vincent - On one hand, it was very classic & casual, yet elegant. Travelled well & he wouldn't be under or overdressed for most events. On the other, it was very safe & a tad boring.

Angela - As soon as Tim Gunn told her it looked "Holly Hobby" she sould have changed it up somehow. To say "Oh, that's OK?!?!"?" ANGELA! You're supposed to be an international superstar jetsetter! NO, Holly Hobby is NOT alright! Sheebus! I don't care if you live on a farm - you read magazines, you've seen photos. Whip up a wrap dress or a chic suit & be done with it. As soon as Korrs said the fabric sucked, I knew that despite how ridiculous Kayne's design was, she'd be out. They don't tolerate poorly made or sloppy looking garments. She did not meet the challenge, so I don't feel badly at all.

Uli - I'll just repost my review from week one, since it still obviously applies :

See? I just wait for Paula to post so I can say ^^^^ I agree!

Laura looked HOT all done up!

Buh-bye, Angela! And what a BURN, flying her all the way to Paris just to get booted. Do you really think that happened, or did they let her stay and enjoy Paris for a few days? Wonder if she flew back in coach.

Jeffrey deserved to win and I'm glad he did.... he may be a jerk but he's a talented jerk. Reality shows always edit their footage to create a "villain" and he's really the only one left since Keith got the boot. Vincent has softened up considerably as well. I'm still pissed about Alison getting kicked off when that was her only misstep the entire competition. Angela should have been gone a while back. I think Michael & Jeffrey are my top two. I love how they showed Michael applauding Jeff for winning. Michael is a class act.

I think Kayne is entertaining but Laura was right... his tackiness does not translate well into "high fashion" or even mainstream stuff.

Here's what she said to Entertainment Weekly:

http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1503866_3||321057_0_,00.html

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Before we talk about clothes or the show, I have to ask: Did they at least let you stay in Paris for a little while, or was it — boom! — right back to the airport?
ANGELA KESLAR: You know what? They put me up in the coolest hotel, called the Cube. It was amazing: They had this bar that was made out of ice, and you could only be there for 30 minutes. I didn't get to spend visitor time in Paris, but I went out in style for sure. The next day I flew out, after an incredible breakfast. I'm a big food person, so I was very happy.

Oh, don't apologize hon! I was just confused - my fault. I'm glad you love the show as much as we do.

The dude lost like over 100 lbs, and still is I would imagine. I'm sure his man boobs are a lot smaller then they were back in the day, so I say good for him.
