Macy has the project runway stuff advertised at their website now at This Location Reality Blurred has this to say about it:
Macy’s selling Angela’s outfit online for $257 Angela Keslar’s redeeming, winning garment from last night’s episode of Project Runway 3 is now on sale both online and in select stores. The INC International Concepts Project Runway Cropped Jacket, Ruched-Sleeve Tee & Trouser costs $257, or the pieces can be purchased separately. Bleeding their sponsorship as dry as possible, Macy’s is also giving away a $5,000 shopping spree, and for men or those who just don’t want to spend $257, Macy’s offers a $29 t-shirt with Angela’s sketch on the front and the show’s logo on the back. Ironically, it was during last night’s episode that Angela said, “I don’t really sketch as part of my process.” PS I am still upset that, not only can I not watch the show as it is not yet on in Canada, I can no longer access the website for any reason. Every time i try I get the "bravo cannot be found" error message!!. I have to use IE instead of Netscape to get in. That just royally makes me mad!!!!!

Yankee_in_ca have you tried looking for the episodes you'd like to view at http://www.youtube.com ? Though they're usually broken up into several parts you can see the episodes. For instance, episode 4, part 1 is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6eGzoMOMkY but a simple search for Project Runway should get you what you want.

Jan -- have you checked the listings of "blocked sites" on your browser? Another teacher and I all of a sudden couldn't get to yahoo mail on our teacher computers, but could on other computers. I *think* all I had to do was go to Tools, choose "Options" and "Content" and then look at the list of "blocked pop up windows." Next to it is an "allowed" tab you can click to then add the bravo site. Like I said, I'm not positive this is how I got it to work, but it's at least worth a shot!

It was a good thought Teach - i tried it - but i just cannot even get to the site. I get that error message that says http://www.bravotv.com/ cannot be found. some sites on the internet are written for internet explorer only and i use netscape. I think that is my problem because i can get to the site when I use my IE.

I can get to bravotv from netscape, but cannot watch video on it. I can listen to the podcasts and read the blogs, rate the runway.

Jan try this. Click Start …. Run and then type command and hit enter. That will open a box. Type ping www.bravotv.com and hit enter. See if you get any replies or if it times out. If you get replies then it is probably some sort of browser issue. If you don't then you can't see the site at all and it is something that you might want to ask your Internet provider about.

Jan -- try using Firefox Mozilla. It's a netscape like browser but blocks pop ups and doesn't have the annoying noises (and issues) the IE does. Safari and Opera are other good options. Anything to see the Project Runway stuff!

I am disappointed in Tim Gunn for the 1st time. I thought it was extremely bad form to dismiss a designer in front of the others. Can you imagine HR allowing this to happen at work. I think he should have spoken to him in private and then to the other designers.

That struck me as unprofessional too Sugar. But then, if he's going to dismiss the guy in front of the cameras, I guess having the other designers there might have been considered moot anyway. Of course, it would have been just as uncomfortable to the other designers to have to sit there and listen to it.

Tim's iTunes podcast explains a little bit more about who the dismissal was in front of, where it was in the apartment, etc. It seems the segment we saw on TV was likely significantly edited. Some of the "reactions" you saw of the other designers may not have happened at the moments we saw them happen on TV.

I thought that Tim was expicit in the podcast saying that the designers knew before he did. I think his explaination was for the cameras because everyone knew, as did Keith before Tim arrived at the apartment. It was just a matter of when, not what.

Tim said in the podcast that when Keith's roomie wouldn't leave the room, Tim and Keith LEFT! So, when Keith "officially" found out, it was just him, Tim and the camera guys.

Now that we know who was kicked off, I went back and read some of the spoilers & posts I skipped earlier. And I have a question but I'm not if it's a spoiler itself so here goes:
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | I saw mention of an auf'ed designer coming back. Is this because someone cried foul over going before Keith, who was caught breaking the rules? How would they chose who returns? I don't remember anything in the previews about it. | Thanks in advance.

Was looking for any kind of info that might help me answer Calamity's question and found a site I thought everyone might find interesting. It's called Blogging Project Runway and has a lot of great links, including links to the designer's own sites. No answers or any speculation for you right now, though Calamity. As for the episode, I have a few remarks: On Angela's teamwork - Perhaps the reason she did so much better this time around was that she WAS the team leader and was carrying out HER vision, not someone else's. With Vincent, she didn't respect him as leader or want to help him carry out his vision. She wanted it to be collaborative, but Vincent didn't want her input. Think of what we've seen from her design-wise...would you want her ideas for your design? The reason her outfit in this challenge was successful was because Laura and Michael basically kept her from doing her usual thing. They took her "wacky design aesthetic" and toned it down into a winning outfit. Left to her own devices (or with teammates who let her hang herself), she would have had those rosettes all over the thing. Oh, and as for those Rosettes, I remember them being called yoyos and vaguely remember them being popular in the 80's...I think there was even some gizmo sold in infomercials to easily make the things. I always thought the yoyo quilts were cool, though (these have been around for YEARS...were popular in the 1920s, I think)....but, I'm a quilter. I was glad Bonnie went, as I though her whole outfit was just ugly. I thought Bradley's runway response was just perfect. When he was asked what he thought of the outfit, he said "I think it looks like the sketch". It seems to me, that was a perfect way of saying that he was not to blame for it, since Bonnie had been joking earlier about throwing him under the bus. Yeah, the pants might have been awful...but they were what she asked for. But, I think that statement can also be taken as a defense of the design, in that it looked just like the sketch that has been chosen as one of the best. I didn't hate Robert's...actually thought it was cute, although it didn't really go together. Yes, the skirt was too revealing, but Robert said that wasn't the intent, it was really just a poor fit on the model. But, even if I had hated Robert's, I love him and would not have wanted him gone. I was actually surprised they eliminated anyone...I thought with Keith being gone, they wouldn't have had an elimination. Also, WHAT was Heidi wearing? It is really hard for me to take her criticisms seriously at all when she wears such ridiculous outfits. Honestly, if I was one of the bottom two and she said something bad about my design while wearing those bubble shorts, I'd have had to go all Santino on her and her wardrobe choices. It also bugged me last week when she made some statement like "I think if I were a fashion designer, I'd want to do something great"...it was just a silly statement. Yeah, I think they all WANT to do something great, but sometimes they miss the mark. Sometimes what they think will be great just isn't. On one of these challenges they should have Heidi design something and see what we end up with. I much prefer the criticisms that come from judges who are designers. Well, I think that is all I have to say for this week. I'll probably think of something else and have to come back later, though!

Cdbga, ITA about those odd bubble shorts Heidi was wearing. I can't remember which designer was getting feedback from Tim, and there was a mention of something on the design looking "diapery." FF to Heidi on the runway in those shorts, and I just had to pause it and point it out to Mom and comment, "talk about diapery!"

Kristin chat Any Project Runway news? Like, why that damned girl is still in?! Our very own Party Girl, and my best friend Lara Morgenson, met up with Robert this week, and has been talking my ear off ever since about how awesome the guy is. She loves him. He gave her a little bit of scoop, saying that we're about to see the normally quiet Michael really come into his own as a designer in the upcoming episodes. He also said that much of the cast couldn't stand "bad mommy" Laura, who was really kind of a , talking crap about her kids and the other contestants--something the producers decided not to show!

Michael is really great in tonight's show. Love the guy! They did a great flip by letting the models pick who they wanted to work with instead of the designer's picking the models.

The models got to pick which designers they wanted to work with, and then they had to pick a fashion icon for the designer to modernize. Icons included women like Cher, Twiggy, Madonna, Jackie O, Diana Ross, Marilyn Monroe, Pam Grier, Audrey and Katherine Hepburn. Michael (Pam Grier) designed a dark pink hot pant and backless top. Kayne (Marilyn Monroe) did a black leather and sheer stretch fabric gown. Angela (Audrey Hepburn) designed a basic black dress with a textured fabric and some rosettes at the hem. Michael won, and the other two were clearly contenders. Bradley (Cher) did a white hiphugger pant and a silver lame top. The top was very plain and the pant didn't fit. Vincent (Twiggy) did some plaid and dark brown mini dress with bell sleeves. Robert (Jackie O) did a tan linen suit with a rope belt and miniskirt. Bradley lost; Robert's was called boring.

Oh, and Michael's look and model are to be featured in a Tresemme ad in Elle magazine, but he does not get immunity next week.
