I think the editors have finally started to pay attention to this little blogger here in St. Pete, because we automatically start this week by learning that Althea and Irina aren’t speaking. Love it…finally Irina picked on the wrong girl. I have the feeling that Althea has a little trailer park in her and we all know, those girls can fight. Watch your back Meana Irina, watch. your. back.
Besides those two lovely ladies giving each other the silent treatment, Gordana, Carol Hannah and Christopher are the only designers around. And Chris looks soooooo lonely in that little apartment all by himself. Are the girls not allowed to move over there? Because I am pretty sure that would relieve some of the tension, thicker than Gordana’s accent, that is happening in Casa de la Girlies.

The challenge this week, the final challenge if you hadn’t gathered that from the 400 times they have said it, brings us to The Getty Center, which is apparently the heart of Los Angeles culture but seems mostly like a mish-mosh of art stuff. Whatever, I like it, it gives the designers some freedom to show their point of view. I like all the inspirations they have chosen from the Getty Center, but am a little concerned because so far they haven’t done awesome with that whole “get inspired” thing…I have faith in them though, except for Gordana. I have no faith in Gordana, ever.

I am really wishing I would have kept a log of how many negative things Irina said about people throughout this episode, because she is on it tonight, at least in the double digits. Did anyone else hear her call Carol Hannah a cute dog? That is not a compliment. I love a good Jack Russell terrier as much as the next girl but I do not ever want to be called one…just mean, so mean. Despite some messy looks and harsh critiques from Tim Gunn, everyone is keeping it together…untiiiiiiil the crazy Eastern European starts talking about her spiritual dress or some crap. Yep, we got our first cry of the show from your fave and mine, Gordana. Prepare yourself, because I don’t want to spoil anything but let’s just say the cry count is going up like the spaceship this week, straight to the moon (is it wrong that this makes me happy?).

The editing is really making it looks like every single designer gets torn apart on the runway. But do they??

It’s getting down to the wire now, with six designers left to duke it out for a spot at Bryant Park. They started the episode by facing away from the runway to get their challenge info, which kinda sorta makes them all look like they are in time out and Heidi is their disappointed teacher. But it’s all clear when their “winning looks” are on stage and they have to make a companion piece, another riveting challenge (insert sarcastic eyeroll here). Wait, most of their “winning looks.” Logan just has a random look up there, because he has never won a challenge, but when you look that good in real life, you don’t need to actually win a challenge, you just need to be there and smile pretty. He clearly lives in “the bubble” but I think the girls out there will agree when I say he can live in my bubble any day (Heyyo, see what I did there. Ok, I don’t totally get it either but shhhhh, its been a long week.)

Gordana…yikes.

The workroom is a little dullish but we do get a random backstory on Gordana, complete with stock photos of some kids in a third world country. Twenty bucks says that isn’t even her and another twenty says she is getting auf’ed. We also learn that Gordana is only 44. WOW, she needs to get some Oil of Olay in the worst way possible.

Meana Irina

Generally, I like to see the designers making nice but I am uncomfortable with the Althea-Irina friendship, joining forces in hating Logan for stealing a collar idea from Althea. I have thoughts on this,. The first one is that it was an ugly collar the first time, it is still pretty ugly, Althea needs to calm it down and keep inhaling those In-N-Out fries. Second, I would really like some of those In-N-Out fries. That’s it.

We did learn that the other designers have a little nickname for the resident beotch, Meana Irina. Living up to her name, it only took her about four and half seconds to back out of her alliance with Althea, accusing that little blonde bombshell of stealing the sweater idea. Irina is a one woman drama machine…I kinda never want her to leave, what would I write about?!

Okay, okay, I know that we are all on pins and needles so let’s do this. On to the runway and I am hoping for a cat fight, I saw it in the previews…don’t tease me Lifetime!

This week on Project Runway, the models are calling the shots. Shameless ploy to get us to watch Models of the Runway? Yes. Am I watching Models of the Runway? Yes. Mission accomplished, Lifetime, you have sucked me in.

I love that the models have all these grand ideas but a little part of me, okay, the majority of me, thinks they have absolutely no idea what on earth they are talking about. Example: Shirin’s girl wants a royal blue satin jumpsuit with gold rope accents.
Let me repeat that slowly and in caps:
A
ROYAL BLUE
SATIN
JUMPSUIT
WITH
GOLD ROPE
ACCENTS
Apparently she is confusing Shirin for her mother sewing a Halloween costume, or the challenge for “Who can look closest to a dominatrix Superwoman?” Read the rest of this entry »
