I guess that Zulema's loss means that Nick's original model will likely be gone, assuming Daniel keeps his model. Seems a bit unfair to the model...

It is difficult to figure who will make F3 and fashion week. It is all about who loses the challenge when down to 4. Last season Austin lost that competition and we all expected him to make it. The judges hated the fabric. Tim warned Santino but he didn't listen. (Tim's podcast) Wendy Pepper won; Nancy chose her dress to wear to the Grammys. Any one of these people could choke and be out. Santino could win the final challenge. There is no guessing.

Could a real woman actually wear Daniel's Orchid inspired blouse? I loved the color and fabric but hated the design. It looked like a Barbie doll blouse to me.

Actually -- that blouse looked like it would cover up a LOT of imperfections -- it was "poofy" so "poofy" bellies wouldn't be as obvious as it would w/99% of the other designs we've seen on the show.

Runway fashion is not designed to really wear as strange as that sounds to some. It is a different bird. It is art. Tim mentions (podcast and blog) that Kara is producing things that are too wearable. Most designers who do runway also design ready to wear. This show seems to breach the line and goes for both but respects couture more, it seems.

For anyone who is interested, apparantly Nick designed the dress that Brenda Strong (the dead character/narrator) of Desperate Housewives wore to the Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight. I thought it was really pretty, with a similar back to his Nicky Hilton dress in a deeper blue. I'm not 100% sold on the front of the dress but I thought overall it was a pretty great dress.

If you go to Getty Images and search the entertainment section for Brenda Strong you can see some pictures. On tv it looked blue, but in the pics I'm seeing more of a purple. I'm not really sure...lol I still like the dress though...

I wonder if that means it will be one of the challenges...like Nancy O'Dell's dress last year and Wendy won.

The top doesn't fit well. I didn't care for it. I did not know Nick had designed it and my first impression, night gown.

I agree, the fit stinks. Wonder if it's a fishtail? Heh.

That dress supports my theory that some women should never go braless.

It's not one of the challenges. I can't remember where I read all about this but there was some question there about whether it was a challenge, and the person who runs that site checked it out and said nope. I do know that he has designed for other celebs including Eva Longoria so maybe that's how he got to do it... "Their celebrity clients have included Patricia Arquette, Eva Longoria, Nikka Costa, Alicia Keyes, Niki Taylor and Ali Landry." http://www.nikolakidesign.com/biography.html

Ok, it's time for my . Tim is way too demanding. The words "mind-F-word" come to mind. He needs to loosen up, and frankly, considering they are all being judged separately by the judges, I really don't know why he would step in and tell them they need to "get it together" or perform better or what-have-you. I think he makes the show un-fun. He also needs to stop talking like that. His voice is grating and reminds me of Ben Stein's. Santino is a mess and a Galliano wanna-be, he needs to go. The model rejection aspects are unnecessary and a downer. The hostess Heidi is a mess. Who told her she could do the show while carrying a baby? Totally wrong. It's kind of grotesque and totally opposed to the in/out aesthetic. IMO, she's out. And the neo-deutschland 'Auf Wiedersehen' schtick has got to go. There's nothing glamorous about German. And someone needs to give these designers some haircut advice. They are a mess. Don't they ever look in a mirror? Sheesh.

A woman can't host a show while being pregnant? Why?

I hope someone will post a spoiler as to how this comes out tonight; also what happens to the model who got taken away from nick and therefore put at risk! I don't have cable, but kinda of got hooked on this last night (the inspiration outfit episode)at my dad's house; but won't have an opportunity to follow up, and my dad is most certainly not going to watch it! Thought Daniel was great, and really hoping that Nick's former model doesn't get the ax!

I don't care if Heidi is pregnant or not, but that white outfit she had on tonigt during the runway was hideous and not at all flattering. I love that pregnant women today can wear "tight" clothing that doesn't look like a tent -- hers, on the other hand, looked like a draped tent with poofs in all the wrong places! (that is just MHO of course since I know NOTHING about "high fashion" and would wear jeans and a hoodie to school every day if they let me! LOL)

Partner and I got caught up on PRunway while in NY last week -- we've now seen all of the episodes. However, now that we're back here in Canada, it's still about 4 episodes behind. Waaaah! I wish these shows were available on iTunes...!
