I honestly thought they would keep Emily around longer, just to see what other terrible things would fall out of her thoughtless mouth.

Do you think they make sure to tape every contestant saying definitively […]

I don’t get the sudden enthusiasm for midriff-baring tops we saw in this episode. They make me fold my hands over my own tummy in shame and sympathy. Perhaps that tells you too much about my own body image issues […]

Whoever did the hair for Christopher’s model should be given a standing ovation. It’s clearly 30s glam but let’s the dress design do the heavy lifting. Gorgeous!

Christopher totally won my heart here when he admitted wanting to design the best gown ever — then admitted that he sounded like a tool.

Nathan’s grace at being sent home was unbearably charming.

Just stopping by to point out that Ven seemed to have a huge amount of contempt for a woman who is roughly the same size as he is. Do you think he was projecting? That his contempt was actually directed inward, at […]

I want to hate Dmitry, but he keeps making clothes I want to put on my body immediately!

And — a small question? — I thought that when Elena coined the magical term, it was “Chiffonzies,” and that Melissa […]

Whoever makes that girl from the teaser cry is going to get him/herself cussed THE FUCK OUT, I tell you.

PROJECT RUNAWAY.

Bam.

But yeah, I would like Sonjia’s dress in eleventy billion colors, please. It looks swank as all get-out, but you know that slipping into that jersey sheath would be comfy as if you’d […]

That gold dress was stunning and made me want to run out and buy one just like it. Isn’t that the point of being a designer? To make everyone envious of the lucky people who get to wear your clothes?

I’m Team C all the way, but watching Christopher go from “here is my aged mentor” to “I am going to strangle that laughing art professor with my bare hands” was pretty fascinating. Trying to build a modesty panel […]

Kooan reminds me of a Japanese Mondo. With monster faces instead of print mixes, and giggles instead of Mondo’s inner iron core of determination.

Concurred! The last time we had a normal/plus-size design challenge, it really separated the wheat from the chaff, skill-wise.

So glad PR and MW’s recaps are back!

It saddens me to admit that Selena is right about Doppel Michael C — until this moment, I was digging Christopher’s fauxhawk and hip-swinging happy dance. And yeah, […]

It’s tempting to suggest that the homophobic undertones in modern male friendship came about as a reaction to the increasing recognition of homosexuality from the 19th century forward. For centuries before that, […]

Terrifying glow-worms for the win!

But also there is this New York Times piece on the Earth’s core that has some of the best phrasing I’ve ever […]
