That was interesting. I found it a bit, um, staged, to just happen to see Austin at Mood, the only fabric store in all of New York. Snark! And, thank Heaven that the guy from Blow Out could squeeze Jay in for a cut. Whew! Line of the night for me: "God is punishing me for being an atheist!"

Oh sugar, I missed it! Well, it is Bravo, so it will be on a dozen more times.

I loved it, I thought it was hilarious. He needs a weekly show. I did, however, think we needed to see more. It ended a bit odd for me. I was sad to see him get screwed over Heidi's Emmy (?) dress. My favorite line was when he was talking about Heidi and he made some sort of comment about her just giving birth to her baby seal. Too funny!

His "Heidi" dress was absolutely gorgeous! However, from the cut, and then seeing her in the dress she actually wore, I bet she couldn't have FIT into the dress! Six days after a baby is NOT enough time to look one's best and be ready to show off all the beautiful things Jay's dress did.

I'd like to see more of Jay, too. I really like Jay's sensibility and I think he has a great creative vision. I also love the way he mixes a kind of postmodern nihilism with a weird setimentality--in fact, it looked like his nihilism was a result of his sentimentality. I wonder what will become of him. It's great that he still has ties to Austin and Kara Saun (and even better that Kara Saun lent him someone to help with the ill-fated dress), but I wonder whether he has the toughness, or the tough people around him, to make it. I hope he does. I didn't much like Heidi's dress, to tell the truth (I don't like dresses that look like two ideas--shirt-ish in the front and long in the back), but I also didn't like the Dior she ended up wearing.

That's what I love about Jay - that unexpected mix of "I've just gotta be me" and insecurity, untraditional style that meets middle American attitude. And he's so funny and honest. I sniffled a little when he was saying where he wanted his ashes scattered. Was that his mom or grandma? She was trying to hide it but you could see how upset that made her. And I do have to credit Kara Saun for helping him out. While his Heidi gown wasn't my style, it was quite beautiful given all the last-minute work they had to put in to it. I felt like a traitor but couldn't help preferring that flowered dress, although I only caught a brief glimpse of it.

I gotta tell ya, I wonder if part of the reason Heidi rejected the dress was because it smelled like cigarette smoke. As an ex-smoker, I know how cigarette smoke can permeate clothes and fabric. I was rather shocked to see him smoking in his studio space while putting together her dress.

Wow -- never thought of that Wendo -- as a non-smoker it IS very noticeable when I smell smoke on clothing. Would she have even known that, though? It looked like he was sewing in the last 24 hours before the red carpet.

I know! I am a light smoker, and even I was like, "Dude! How can you smoke and sew?!?" I thought they had at least one fitting, though. If the dress smelled, I could understand why she dropped it, but she did him no favors by not telling the truth. If that's what it was about.

Teach, Jay had a fitting with Heidi the Friday before the Emmys so it's entirely possible that smoke may have been a reason. When he said he spent six hours sewing and smoking with no breaks, that's when I thought of the smoke smell. His space isn't that big and cigarette will permeate everywhere, especially fabric and clothes.

Wow -- yup, given that information I would completely understand how she might change her mind. If that was the case, I wish she had told him the "real" reason -- it might affect how he does business in the future!

It's possible she told him what's what but that it was done off camera. But, it's also possible that she just didn't like the dress for her on that particular night. I thought the flower dress she ended up wearing was pretty actually. Not that I didn't like Jay's though. However, if it reaked of smoke, I wouldn't wear it myself.

I smoke and was also shocked that he smoked in his studio....hopefully after seeing the show more ppl will tell him not to do it inside. I agree if that was the reason she should have told him AND they should have aired it if she did

I also loved the "God is punishing me for being an atheist" and the Baby Seal lines. Tisha, I agree that Jay is really fascinating.. just the way he expresses himself in a sort of stream of consciousness.. ACK to the smoke!! It was supposed to be a series but then got cut back to a one shot deal.. too bad. I read that in one of Jay's interviews. Too bad for us, but I suppose if he really wants to get into building his line, better if he's not on camera all the time. He's really quite talented. But I already knew that.

I always wanted Jay and Austin to have a show together. The 2 of them were good together on PR1. The 2 running into each other seemed too staged Loved the update on Wendy Pepper. The husband was obvious absent in the home visit so dont think her "fame" was the only cause of divorce My heart broke at the scene with Jay and his dad. I can imagine his growing up with that relationship. His mom & sisters seem like dolls. That Tommy guy was a hero.

I adore Jay and would like to see him as a judge on Project Runway 3. I expect to see more of him, he gives too good TV to slip away. Heidi has a stylist and people around her who vetoed the dress in favor of something more appropriate for a new mother. I doubt cigarette smoke had anything to do with it. If the dress worked any odor could be treated in minutes. We saw the dress she chose and it was 180 degrees from Jays creation. You hear stars mention a last minute dress change when interviewed on the red carpet. They often speak of choosing their dress that afternoon out of several that had been ear marked. Jay just didn't realize this was a possibility being new to the field. Wendy is nuts. Her perceived fame had nothing to do with her divorce! Fame? I loved those lines too, Seamonkey. I find it fascinating that he can call Heidi a tw*t casually without rancor. He also hated Wendy Pepper with the same casual manner devoid of anger. Just stating the facts. Love this guy.
