Holla' Tim Gunn, you make those designers work! (Ha!)

Okay, okay, so this is only two days late...but whatever:

Wednesday night, Project Runway entered some sort of strange, alternate universe, twilight zone where Tim Gunn says “Holla atcha boy” and the ongoing battle of balance between craftsmanship vs. creative appeal was tipped…

Now for the runway review:

Let us begin by rewinding time and thinking about last week’s episode. Wesley’s burnt sienna mess vs. Leanne’s burnt sienna mess. Wesley had poor craftsmanship, Leanne’s vision went in circles…literally. Bye bye Wesley. Now let’s take a look at the two dresses below, which were created as outfits inspired by photographs of New York City at night, taken by the designers:

At the left is Jennifer’s design and Emily’s design is to the right.

Michael Kors’ said that behind all the misplaced ruffles Emily had made a very nice little black dress.

Hiedi said that Jennifer’s design almost made her not want to see more.

Susanna said that if she (of all the sewing inept people) could see the jagged hem on Jennifer’s silk, blue, maternity-frock-found-a-thrift-store, called a fresh new look based on New York city…then there’s a problem. Especially when her inspiration of “Holly Golightly meets Salvador Dali” has yet to appear on the runway. Also, Holly Golightly wouldn’t have given that shamble a second look, and Salvador Dali would’ve just dumped a bucket of paint on it, or something.

I would like to insert here the point that a fellow Project Runway viewer made: Jennifer's model's hair looked fantastic (and in my opinion she was well put together with the shoes and such), whereas Emily's model's hair looked almost as frumpy as the ruffles on the front. Not that this should matter when it comes right down to it, but then again, I'm pretty sure it does...

So once again, in the bottom two it comes to craftsmanship vs creativity gone awry, and apparently they decided to Auf Emily and her ruffle explosion. It was the first time in recent memory that I have firmly disagreed with the Project Runway judges. But then again, one of the judges looked like a colorblind drag queen who forgot to brush her hair (no offense to drag queens, I love drag queens)...I mean who was that woman/man?

Now for good things:

My favorites and Wearable(s) of the Week were a tie between Kenley’s super cute, and super brave, bubble of a dress made me want to smile and sing and dance in the rain, with the help of Tim Gunn’s complimentary rain boots and poncho (Not. Ha!), and Leanne’s elegant, black shirt/skirt that featured a fantastic skirt with more (now in control) circular pieces. Most improved will also go out to Leanne for recovering from last weeks mess, as well as to her model Karalyn for supporting the designer she was working with. Good team work ladies.

Oh and almost forgot, Jerrell's green gown looked like Wood Nymph Goes to the Oscars.

Yes, this weeks Project Runway was a little stressful to me and definitely full of surprises. And next week I expect nothing less.
