Project Runway

Green fabric? I thought Heidi KlumTim Gunn was talking about the color. But it's green as in environmentally green.

The challenge is to design a cocktail dress for the chosen models. The catch is the models are the ones doing the shopping. Right there the garbage bag lady, or nobody really knows as Stella, was bitching about somebody who doesn't know anything about fabrics doing the shopping for her. So there you have it, the negativity and excuses. To be fair, most other contestants were portrayed in that light.

Models brought back fabric, more bitching from the designers. Stella more bitching about not her aesthetics, not tough-looking and urban. I got it, because the model wants something "elegant and classy" and all she is capable to do is some garbage bag skirt bullshit aesthetics. OKAY, I should keep an open mind.

More whining ....

Suede outs himself as a bisexual when sewing up his strips, strippy cocktail dress. I thought he is gay so there is the element of surprise.

Gunn says no immunity from the winner but the winning dress would get made by bluefly.com

OKAY, Blayne the tan crazed blonde kid thinks Stella is ridiculous too. So, it's not just me.

NATALIE PORTMAN is the guest judge, it seems so obvious, she is such an avid environmentalist.

Shame or fame time ... Garbage bag lady got some compliments "much improved from last time," "She works her style into her dress." She is vindicated and happy. I think she is safe this round.

Judgment time: So Suede is the winner. I think it could really go either way. But Portman loves it. The top is is made of interweaved red and white strips or made look like so. So it's kind of a total mess or whimsical depending on the perspective. But since Portman's the guest judge and I think that definitely sways all other judges to that whimsical view. Personally I think the other woman Kenley should be the winner, it's more grown-up and elegant. But I can see why Portman likes the strippy one ... she is a pint-sized lady and she likes something more whimsical and petite perhaps.

Leanne and Wesley are the bottom two ... Leanne is in. And leggy Wesley is sent off for a poorly made dress, too short, too shiny, too busy .... whatever.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
