Posted: 7/17/08 at 6:22pmThe cups were just so original! I just think they should have told them that no one could choose table cloths or shower curtains. I was very disappointed that so many of them did! I thought the paper towel dress was kinda cute!

Posted: 7/17/08 at 6:31pmI agree, they should have had tablecloths off limits. I don't remember who it was, but one of the contestants was actually surprised to many people picked tablecloths along with them.

Posted: 7/17/08 at 11:33pmI finally watched this episode, and I pretty much agree with the results. While I would have seen the tan guy go home, I was happy with who went home. And I loved the winning dress.

My immediate thought about 'the Tan Guy' is that he is trying WAY too hard to create another Christian-like 'phrase' with his 'licious' description of everything. And, there is a difference between making a fashion statement and just putting things together and calling them fashion. In my opinion, his was the worst outfit and he should have been eliminated, but the producers probably think that he's a character of some interest, so he will be kept around for a while. I hope they realize there is a difference between genuine talent and personality (Christian Siriano) and this mess.
I didn't think the person who was eliminated was the worst. It may have been an odd piece (frankly, if he hadn't used the gloves it might not have been as bad - they kind of threw it off), but it was creative and well constructed with the shower rings as clips and material that isn't typically used in dress construction. I would have liked seeing more from him, and am sorry he was eliminated so early. I think he has real talent.
The garbage bags were ridiculous. Again, I think she is being kept around as a character of interest. At this point, she doesn't hold much interest for me.
Fashion is having a point of view, but also being able to adapt it to meet the needs of clients, situations and, in the case of Project Runway, the competitions. I am always drawn to the designers who have a range of vision... I don't think the Garbage Bag lady or the Tan Guy do. We'll see.
I loved the outfits in the top three, and there was some interesting work among the others. It's going to be interesting to see what emerges this season.

I was not expecting Wesley to go. With Project Runway, they make it seem like if time is not your friend, you will not succeed in the fashion business. In reality, that's probably not entirely true. He seemed like he had really good taste, which is such a shame he had to leave. I guess someone had to go.
I didn't like Suede's dress at all. I liked Kenley's dress.
I'm not thrilled with the designers this season. Design aside, many of them are very obnoxious.

Posted: 7/24/08 at 11:12amUsually by this point in the season, I've picked out a few of my favorites who have been making fantastic garments. This season...not so much. I'm pretty underwhelmed at this point. Hopefully things pick up as the season goes on.

Tan boy turned out to have an actual sense of humor (not the fakelicious one he was trying so hard at).
I thought all the "I have a leather TV; my husband is leather" stuff was pretty funny.

Posted: 7/24/08 at 12:16pmAlmost forgot...how adorable was Natalie Portman??

Posted: 7/24/08 at 12:21pmLike Portman a lot but she has to ditch the smoky eyes - it makes her look harsh and tired.

I'm so done with leather girl. Has she not seen the show before? She's going to be challenged, and not everything can be done in leather.
And I too was sad to see Wesley go. I thought it was going to go the other way.

Posted: 7/24/08 at 1:34pmBlayne imitating "leather lady" was HILARIOUS. During the first episode he really got on my nerves, but he's grown on me already!
#93re: Project Runway 5
Posted: 7/24/08 at 5:07pmI don't have any favorites yet. I wanted Wesley to stay. Suede won.

They should do a season in Paris if it's not going to be NY.

As devastated as I am over losing Wesley so soon, I read this article and found solace in what he's got going for him now:

Great news for both of them! I actually like Daniel Felt~I thought he is the one with real talent! Sorry to say~ I dont like that biker girl that looks like Elvira..she should have been eliminated last week! but the Asian guy is bad too!
I do like the two challenge winners! very deserving!
