Project Runway 10 Starts Tonight

[aftershocks]

^ The producers are keeping Elena in for a. the DRAMA she delivers and b. the fug she sends down the runway every week. Alicia will probably get auf'ed next week. "We didn't see you in that design" or something like that.

The PR website consistently seems to indicate that Elena is the top "fan favorite." This has always rendered me The votes must all be from her family and friends. Why doesn't Dimitry at least have more "favorite" votes from fans, especially since he gets no great love from judges??? Maybe because he seems to have a calm, well-adjusted personality? Or maybe because he looks so much like Snape?

I agree with the poster who said that Alicia should have been auf'ed weeks ago. She's clearly been just scraping along. Whatever she is very good at as a designer (if anything) is not really showing in this competition.

Alicia reminds me of one of the early season contestants who did mostly menswear. He admitted afterward that he did PR as a crash course to increase his chances of finding employment.

I'm with those who think Dmitry was robbed. His was to me by FAR the best. Would have bOught it myself.

Christopher's was ugh. And Elena's looked like a mess to me.

I caught up with the last two episodes last night. Dmitri was totally robbed, I picked his as the winner. Chris' was OK in terms of blending with the collection, it could have been worse.

But Elena's was godawful (and her artistic-diva-despair made me laugh.)

In other news, I don't think we'll be seeing Joanna Coles again on PR: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.co...kate-white/?hp.

I think if Dmitry had done his in bronze or a very dark, maybe a little iridescent green, or even a red, he would have won. I think the color/style was just too close to what they already had.

On another note, the dress Heidi wore for the runway judging, whose was that? On my iPad, it looked cheap and tacky.

rob i think you're right about winning. but he could have still finished in the top considering what poorly wrought mayhem finished ahead of him.

totally. I watched it again with friends and it was equally the second time around.

I agree....but these might not have been available to them since the fabric was provided.

I'm so sorry to hear about Laura's husband. My prayers go out to the family and her.

*BUMP*!!!

Ok, Elena is making fun of Dmitri's accent?

Crazy-assed nutter.

I couldn't wear it, but I love Ven, Fabio and Melissa's collection. The jacket is really cute.

ETA: well it didn't look so good afterall. The shirt was awful.

Matry, the networks did that ready to wear show last season where the designs were bid on by Macy's, Saks and H/T. The designers also had a team of semstresses to help with the sewing. They focused on the design rather than the construction. After all, Ralph Lauren doesn't sew. That's what he has all those Indian and Chinese kids for afterall.

since it isnt the winner and no one wants snape's dress, i will be generous and take it

[my little pony]

elena reminds me of my brief career teaching sullen 11th and 12th grade girls

Why does Dumpster Diver always have to look like Annie Hall?

Even Williamsburg hipsters are like: "Girl, no."

[Fergus]

"Something should have been in that crotch.....that a girl doesn't have."

Thank you, Michael.

[rfisher]

At least Fabio, Melissa and Ven had a good supportive attitude toward each other. Ven could have argued that his original skirt was much better and he didn't.

[my little pony]

i hope elena leaves as she vexes poor snape

[rfisher]

Seriously? This proves the producers keep designers for the drama and not the skills.

Pacman is eating her crotch? Kors is on a roll.

[Fergus]

Next week: "I see an homage to a menstrual cycle."

Oh, Sainted Mother of Mainbocher, TIMOTHY!!!!
