Project Runway-Suede Seduction

This time the challenge is to make a cocktail dress, but wait, don't whoop it up too much, cause you know there is always a twist. Yes girls, your models will be doing the shopping and buying fabric. They will have to buy "green" fabrics. Yes dearies, environmentally friendly. I guess there's tons of stuff they do with recycled plastics?? Dominatrix is afraid that her model will buy the wrong fabric, hey Stella, anything is a step up from the garbage bags from last week! Three models buy some shiny brown fabric to the horror of their designers. Stella's like, my model wants elegance and class, which she doesn't do. She does urban (in other words, scary and raunchy!). Suede, we discover has the third person syndrome, talking about himself in third person. You remember Elaine from Seinfeld when she fell for that guy at the gym who kept talking to her about him in third person, Timmy would like to go out with Elaine, Tim likes Elaine. Suede's outfit looked like some kind of rag rug with crazy bits of striped fabric sewn together. Stella has the, I only want to work in leather syndrome. Someone calls her leatherface, wasn't he the serial killer in Texas Chainsaw Massacre? When Tim comes in, he takes a look at Korto's outfit with her exposed seams and he thinks it inside out, which she tells him it's not. Tim does manage to keep that look of bewilderment under control. I would have been like, what are you crazy? On the runway, Michael Kors said it looked like the dress had butt wings! Nothing like accenting your rear. Would be good for a female superhero, up, up and away! My favorite was that black little number by Daniel. I think this is my second favorite by him, maybe it's just him? He's cute in a bad boy Astin Kutcher sort of way, yummy! Suede wins the challenge and a very sweet Natalie Portman, who looks like she's ten, says she would wear that. I think she has a penchant for strips of fabric just look at her green cocktail dress. Reminded of me of those chinese enamel fishes that bends at the gills. His reward, selling his dress on Bluefly. Speaking of Bluefly, do you get those Bluefly commercials where the woman who is wearing nothing goes through the airport screening? First of all she'd be arrested and second, what it is that Bluefly sells? It's like have nothing to wear, then think Bluefly. I have no idea what kind of stuff Bluefly sells. From the show, it looks like just accessories. The commercial doesn't tell us anything, but I digress! The two worst dresses had one thing in common, they were out of the same shiny brown fabric, which screamed cheap, cheap, cheap! LeAnn made a dress for Peter Pan, what were those flappy things? And Wesley's brown home economics dress. I think Welsley home ec dress was so poorly made, that the judges probably thought he needs to go back and with that he is aufed. As usual, this one was fun and I hate Heidi Klum, why does she always look so perfect?!-Single D
This week the designers have to make cocktail dresses out of "green" fabrics with the models doing the shopping. Stella immediately starts complaining about sending out someone who has no idea what she is doing. Hello, weren't you the one who bought trash bags? They send their models on their way with some of the designers yelling, "don't forget the closures"! I can see it now, the dress is fitted, almost done and OMG where is the zipper?! Half the designers threw away at least one piece of fabric right away and a few of the girls came back with the same brown satin stuff. Since when is satin "green" anyway. As Tim says, make it work!
Stella starts complaining that her model wants a dress that she just doesn't do and decides to make her own thing. Fortunately for her, her model ends up loving it. Biker chic is not particularly my thing since I'm not exactly a 90 pound, young 20 something.
Suede is emerging as this season's Christopher poodle dog. He has even dubbed himself Team Licious. His dress, so far, is anything but, looking more like a road map exploded with all of those fabric strips. He indeed made it work and managed to clean it up and comes out the winner of the challenge.
I thought sure Kenly would win with her simple elegant dress with the high collar. She got so many complements on it that it looked like a sure thing. It was one of my favorites for what it's worth.
Leanne and Wesley end up in the bottom two. They both had the same hideous brown satin fabric and neither one did anything good with it. Even the models looked uncomfortable wearing the dresses. Leanne gets lucky as Wesley gets aufed. Now go recycle those ugly brown dresses! Double D
