I was surprised to see Kara was the one eliminated, particularly after seeing how excited she was at the finale fashion show last Friday.

Plus, her final collection, which will now never be seen on the show, was not the worst. Chloe's was--by far.

The again, Kara has just skated by this entire season. She had to go sooner or later; she didn't deserve to win.

Santino will be on Regis & Kelly next week, but I'm not sure which day.

Thanks Tish. I adore Jay. His wit is superior. Very edgy, genuine guy. His comment about Heidi was precious.

I didn't realize that Jay had refused the $100,000 for the Project Runway win and struck off on his own!! I suppose it makes sense though. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to be tied down to a contract. I think Santino might be the same way - which might make them leery of giving him the win??

Well, Santino thinks he's going to educate the experts and make them better. That would be a big deterrent to me if I were an expert!

I have a challenge for them for Season 3. How bout designing something for a fat person? Of course, I'd hate to see a 95 pound model strut down the runway wearing something they claim would look good on one of us!

I know, they can go on a "field trip" and pick a person off the street and see if they'd agree to a makeover (sort of like, "Ambush Makeover meets Project Runway). And since its a "competition for the models too," for that particular challenge, the designer's model can work with the selected person on how to present the garment on the runway.

I'd really hate to see what Santino would put on someone like me though!

Went to Stitches West yesterday (a knitting convention of sorts). And gee, at least two booths were selling the pattern and yarn to hats that looked exactly like Kara's. So I guess the one thing I did like about her show wasn't even original.

I would have loved to have seen Nick there in 4th place instead.

Kappy, Jay wore and used hats in his line too. Their designs and way they paired them with unlikely outfits was original. Those hats have been around for awhile now. Designers do follow some trends and tweak them into new positions.

That's a great link Kappy. It was a lot easier to see exactly what they had shown. I liked a lot of the outfits; however, I wouldn't wear anything that Kara designed for the show unless I lost a bet and had to. I absolutely loved Daniel's pieces, and a couple of Chloe's and Santino's pieces.

I totally missed Santino on Regis and Kelly this morning. Nerd that I am, I was watching something on C-SPAN. Oh well.

I loved watching the ice dancing craptacular last night. It reminded me that Santino's dress for that skating girl was absolutely normative for the sport. LOL. Feathers were flying all over the ice--it looked like a bunch of turkeys and powder puffs out there skating around. If anything, it looked like Santino's dress was understated....no spangles at all! Heehee!

LOL Tish, seriously what are some of those skaters thinking????? Do they look in the mirror before they go out on the ice?

I am really looking forward to seeing the fashion show on TV, my initial reaction to the photos is that I am going to really like Santino's collection.....which is a surprise to me! It looks like Daniel's collection is beautiful also, but doesn't stand out.

Seems like all the designers have fizzled out a bit these past few weeks. I thought Santino's dress had a shot at being really gorgeous. On the dressmaker's form, it had a great silhouette. But all those heavy spangles were too much for me.

It was startling to see how poorly constructed and wrinkly Kara's dress was - that was very unlike her. It's too bad because I actually thought her design was quite nice in an understated and simple way. But I realize there wasn't anything unique or innovative about it (something that could be and was said about the remaining two designs as well).

I thought the front of Chloe's gown was okay but didn't care for the back of the skirt. As was the case with his skating costume, Daniel's dress ended up looking kinda like a nightgown to me.

Tishala & Kappy: Thanks for the links!

Santino was his usual self on Regis and Kelly...

They gave him 45 minutes to make Kelly a dress out of tinfoil, and some other kitchen stuff. It was interesting to say the least...lol

I finally got to catch up with some of the episodes on the presidents' day marathon on bravo today. In the garden party episode, was really impressed with the human-ness of Kara, who having gotten a handle on her own outfit, gave of herself to Chloe to help glue those endless leaves on the gown. Especially impressive, in that Chloe was really a strong contender to win in that episode. (I thought Chloe's, Kara's and Daniel's were the best...but think of what Chloe's would have looked like if it had had gaps!)

Re the skating outfits on Olympic dancing: I think they really HAVE taken the skating outfits too far in real life (will be interesting to see the female solo skaters, I think starting tomorrow.) I find it distracts from the skating, and in the case of the Les Miserables dancers (with their blood and bandages), it not only made me not want to look at them, but her bandage fell down and blindfolded her at one point! We could have gotten the message of the music through their MOVEMENT, rather than through messy costumes! In skating, less costume means more emphasis on movement, to my mind.

I watched many of the episodes yesterday on the marathon, but I was a little upset that at each break, Bravo would show clips of who'd alreday been eliminated. I had never watched the show before, and was immediately spoiled as to who would be going.

I kept watching anyway because the show was kind of addictive. I'd never seen it and wasn't really familiar with the premise at all.

Some of the outfits were amazing and some ridiculous like the flower/plant outifts. Andre's looked like a chia dress. I liked the earlier outfits the best.

The one male judge reminds me so much of Uncle Arthur from Bewitched. He sounds exactly like him.

Nick mentions on his blog that he is in Torino at the Olympics and will hopefully be on the show Olympic Ice on Thursday discussing Ice Skating fashion. The show airs at 6pm here on the East Coast on the USA network. I've watched it almost every day and its generally pretty funny in a very very cheesy way.

You can watch Santino's bits on Regis and Kelly on his site. It didn't work with Firefox, though, so you have to open your IE browser.

Heidi was on Regis and Kelly this morning. Her hair is VERY long now, so I was wondering whether it was extensions. I donno. She's in Sports Illustrated with painted on swimming suits designed to look like Vargas girl paintings (I think that's what they're called). Anyhow, she seemed nice etc., but she's sorta boring. And thank god she admitted she doesn't know anything about fashion--she only knows how to wear clothes. She said that's why Nina and Michael are there, because they understand design. Yeah, Heidi...I already knew you didn't know anything about design just by watching the show.

Apparently the finale is TWO PARTS this year, not a two-hour finale or something. That is really irritating to me. So we have tonight's interview show (followed by Project Jay link to NY Times article about it), followed by two more weeks of not knowing who wins, if I understood correctly. I just hope the final three doesn't get all catty like last year, when Kara Saun and Wendy went at each other for the whole episode. Don't defend the shoe!

But I might have misunderstood.

I am totally fascinated by Santino. I love his creativity. His attitude is all part of his style.

Thanks again, Tishala. Now I'm kinda mad at Heidi Klum for disappointing Jay like that. But I guess that's show biz, kid.

I was a little irked at the article's smug dismissal of Jay's hometown and family. But that's routine for NY'ers it comes to the hinterland. I liked what Jay said in that previous interview about having to be 60 and with his sister. Now that's family values. And I seem to remember Jay introducing Tim to some of his relatives in last season's finale. Maybe I'm mistaken.

They're going to air the reunion before announcing the winner for this season? That's odd. I couldn't believe how ridiculous Kara Saun acted when she refused to sleep in the same room as Wendy for the finale. And those shoes...that was cheating! (I hated all her furs and skins anyway.)

They had the reunion last year before the finale.
