TNT, is still a supermodel!!!!

Next week they design for a 'fashion icon' last year that icon was Barbie.

I figured they would do the Barbie challenge again since that doll sold out so fast they went ahead and re issued it months later (I got mine signed by Lily Martinez, the Mattel designer that brought Nick's vision to the doll)

I was shocked Robert missed the mark so badly this week........I would think if he loses the Barbie challenge he will be crushed.

I think the blonde designer looks like a Barbie

Keith is just a rebel. Agreed there are rules, but WHY limit reference material, internet, etc? I say let them all have whatever they want if it will help them come up with a better design. It is not like designers in real life don't have all that. It is not like they are banned from that stuff for the final runway show. They are already constrained for time so obviously they do not have an endless amount of time to research. So what is the big deal? Agreed if it is the rule you have to do it, but next year get rid of that dumb rule.

Teach and everyone regarding the rules on spoiling.

Basically the board sees the EAST COAST showing of an episode as the official one - ie while it is airing in EST it is no longer spoiling to talk about the episode , AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN THE THREAD!

It is our thought that, if a west coast viewer does not want to be spoiled, they should not come into the thread prior to their showing of the episode.

HOWEVER, it is not fair to post this information in other threads, which are not about that show, prior to the final west coast showing. Viewers in other threads are not expecting to have to beware of spoiler information for an unrelated topic

Does that make sense?

For instance, last night in the "So you think you can dance" thread, Canadians saw the show 2 hours before the official East Coast Time of 9PM. I, therefore, used the spoiler boxes to talk about the results in the thread. But while the show was on at 9PM EST, HP was able to "spoil" for the west coast viewers without using the box.

Let me know if that convoluted explanation creates more questions than it answers

ETA: The only exception is Big Brother where, because of live feeds, nothing about BB is ever considered to be spoiling, as long as it is posted in the BB area.

There is the Banner! Hope it's right.

Now can someone get me up to date on who has been eliminated?

Thanks.

Hugs, Pamy! Perhaps if I didn't color my hair, it would be platinum gray by now -

By the way, Pamy, I have a friend in GA who is another Barbie collector!

Thanks Mamie. Do you (or anyone else) remember the order (I usually display the eliminated contestants in order of elimination)?

Thank you, Jimmer. The auf'ed order was Stacie, Malan, Katherine, Keith, and Bonnie (first to most recent).


About the show:

It is darn risky to be a team leader!

While I wondered if Angela's Empire State Building outfit was at all inspired by Jay's Chrysler building dress (I don't mean in appearance, just the building idea), it still was a stylish design. I thought it looked great and was flattering. She was very smart to have chosen Laura and Michael for her team (and that was an absolute inspiration to suggest using Angela's rosettes for the buttons because she seemed determined to use them somewhere!).

Alison and Jeffrey seem to work really well together. I especially loved the pants. And, of course, they deserve extra credit for losing their team leader during the challenge. I didn't understand what Keith meant about the convertible top until I saw it on the runway though.

Ah yes, Keith. I'm sad he's gone. I understand why, rules are rules, but I think those particular rules are maybe too strict. And I get that he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way but I just liked his work, thought he was funny, and it was nice how supportive he was of Bradley last week. It's really a shame. I'd have loved to seen what sort of collection he'd have designed.

Speaking of Bradley, he seems to be getting farther and farther from shore, so to speak. I like the guy, I just hope the stress doesn't make him crack.

At least no one turned on their team this time, during the judging. Some struggled for something tactful to say but there wasn't any backstabbing. Sorry to see Bonnie go.

Wasn't that a gorgeous place that Tim visited for that car commercial?

ETA: I forgot. I don't think it was cheating of Keith to ask for a break on his material. The store didn't have to give it to him. And I remember people haggling with the plant & garden shops during last season's flower dress challenge.

GRRRRR...I have avoided this thread all morning, because I taped the show last night (will watch it when I get home from work) and I didn't want to be spoiled. Wouldn't you know it, I get an email from Macy's: "Be the first to buy the Project Runway I.N.C Challenge outfit!" including a picture of the winning outfit AND the winning designer. Stupid Macy's. ***SIGH*** at least they didn't include who gets eliminated. Anyhoo, I'll be back after I watch the show to see what everyone else had to say (still haven't read any posts here, nso I apologize if I'm repeating anything already covered!) and probably post my own opinions! I just needed to vent on the Macy's thing. Oh interesting note: Macy's also has a T-shirt with Angela's original sketch. Hmmm...I thought she didn't sketch. She must have learned how between Miss USA & the Macy's challenge. Is that covered in the show? Guess I'll find out.

Hmmmm, I am still confused by this one! I saw the two loops hanging down and I didn't understand them and thought they spoiled the look of the outfit, and actually wondered why they weren't commented on: and again if it is convertible, why weren't we shown the conversion?? Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!!!

Thanks again, Jimmer!

Oh and oh no! After trying to be so careful last week, today I completely forgot about the new messages feature (I don't use it myself). I hope my first line didn't spoil anybody!

Cdbga: Aw, I'm sorry the email partially spoiled the show for you. I know how frustrating that can be.

Beth4freedom: I may be completely wrong here but I thought the loops were arm holes and if you were to flip the shirt over (top becomes the bottom), it looked like it could be used as a tank dress. The neckline is the confusing part but I sorta remember Keith explaining it, somehow. Something about scrunching it up? I guess the extra material would be used for the lower portion of the dress then. But I didn't really understand him, lol. I'm just guessing.

I think Angela totally redeemed herself last night. She showed she could sketch and from what I could see, could sketch fairly well. I wish she had at least attempted to sketch something for the Miss USA challenge. She showed she could be a good team leader and player. I wonder if she learned her lesson from when she was teamed with Vincent or if Vincent was really a PITA and that brought out the worst in her. Laura even mentioned that Angela was a good team leader. I just wish she would get over those rosettes!

Although the rosettes could be her "calling card" on an outfit. Has any other designer had something like the rosettes that could be considered calling card? Angela could have something here as long as she has a plan when using them like with the buttons.

I had an additional question re something that puzzled me: Bonnie's original sketch showed a COWL neckline, so why were they so down on her about that? I very clearly saw it in the original sketch? (The pants were another matter; choice of material, color, and cut really did those in.)

I think Angela's outfit was as nice as it was because of the influence of Michael and Laura. Angela was talking about putting the granny circles all around the pants, but instead, they were just on the belt loops. The same with the jacket -- it was Laura's idea to use them as buttons and nothing more. Left to her own devices, I think she would have tarted that thing up way too much.

It makes me think about what Vincent's dress might have looked like if he had listened to her. Maybe it would have had a little more pizzazz. It's nice to see that Angela really does know how to work on a team.

In Tim's podcast he expalined clearly why it was wrong to have those "how to" books. I think that Kayne also talked about it. The problem was taht a designer could copy something out of a pattern book, rather than come up with their won design and if the judges did not recognize it, they could be praised for another designers idea/cut. A form of plagerism, unconcious or not.

As to the internet, there are many resources on the internet and the issue of plagerism would come up again, where if you are not using it, you would have to rely onmemory. In one of the video extras, they have Robert (I think) talking aobut how much he studied before he even knew if hw was accepted for this show, so he could be prepared and how these books are like crib sheets. They could give detailed instructions on how to construc some fancy collars, that the designer would have to figure out on their own.

I highly recommend that everyone watch the added video and listen to Tim's podcasts - Tim holds nothing back in his descriptions and it is a long listen.

THANKS, Jimmer -- for the banner! It looks awesome!

THANKS, Jan -- for the explanation. I'm relieved that posting was OK; I *thought* it was, but my thought process on summer vacation can be faulty! :-)

****heads off to listen to Tim's podcast*****

The LaCoste alligator or Lauren's polo player! LOL!

I just can't believe rosettes as a trademark is a good thing.
