Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:48pmStill can't access Tim's podcast. The author of the Entertainment Weekly write-ups is excellent. Very funny.

Posted: 9/14/06 at 6:55pmdo you access the pod cast through the website or iTunes? I've found that the PR website works better...
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1277
Posted: 9/14/06 at 7:02pmThrough the website, but it's definitely not working today.

Posted: 9/15/06 at 7:54amWas finally able to listen to Tim's podcast via the Bravo website this morning. Boy does he not mince words, which is why I really like him. The podcast was somewhat brief, and he really didn't talk about the model who was injured in the bicycle accident.

Posted: 9/15/06 at 8:32amCan Uli even make pants? I'm trying to remember a challenge where she didn't make a flowy dress, but I'm not coming up with anything.
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1280
Posted: 9/15/06 at 9:20amUli made slacks for Kayne's mother and she was praised for the fit, proportion and draping of that outfit. She was robbed, IMO, on that challenge.

Posted: 9/15/06 at 9:25amOoh, that's right. Okay, that makes me feel better about her.

spoilers ( i guess) about the final showings
I think all four collections are gorgeous...
Jeffrey... wow, what a departure from some of the things he has done in the past... i'm not a huge fan of every single thing is this line, but I think it is fabulous
Uli... Fantastic... if she is in the final three I think that she should win... absolutely flawless, I love how she has pieces with her signature look and then more subdued garments which look fantastic
Michael... his collection is probably my least favorite, so far, i like it... but i don't know how it ranks with some of his other pieces during the show
Laura... Laura's gowns and garments are beautiful, but like Garland said...they are not particularly appropriate for a Spring collection
that being said
Uli
Jeffrey
Laura
Michael
(in my book at least) but we'll see how these garments look in motion... that is always key

sophia loren was spotted in the audience, speculation that she is the guest judge. hmmmm.....
EDIT:*************GUEST JUDGE SPOILER*****************
I think the guest judge is Fern Mallis, which is completely appropriate and better than a celeb, IMO.
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1286
Posted: 9/15/06 at 11:43amGarland... yeah i totally agree... hopefully she will be a little more objective as she looks at the designs... i think last year a lot of Debra Messing's comments were about what SHE would wear, not about the fashion and quality of the designs
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1287
Posted: 9/15/06 at 11:48amher name aint "messing" for nothing. i don't care for her style.
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1288
Posted: 9/15/06 at 11:58amso far i LOVE uli's the most. laura is second. jeff has one dress i like and michael is not doing it for me...
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1289
Posted: 9/15/06 at 11:59ami'm really not sure about Laura's... the tailoring is beautiful... but she uses that lace SO much... and so much is the same color... it seems a little monotonous
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1290
Posted: 9/15/06 at 12:03pmi also think that michael's line looks a little cheap... but i don't know
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1291
Posted: 9/15/06 at 12:06pm
the back of said dress -- OOOH LA LA!!!

Did Michael only make 5 outfits? I like all of the designer's collections.
Remember how much we hated Chloe's last year...while I didnt love it, I did like it better in motion. Disliked Santino's in motion.

Dangit...I'm now torn between Uli & Neck. That said, one of Jeffrey's garments is a near dead ringer for one that Santino served up last year down to the color palette. I hope Michael showed more than the 5 pieces I saw online which are not all that. Laura does use a lot of lace and the pieces with lace-gone-wild are the very ones which look dated except the one that helped her claim the last challenge. Am I the only one who senses that after winning a challenge finally she said to herself "why change a winning formula"?
PS: Can we agree that Neck's collection will fly off shelves? It is SO youthful. He actually pulled it off. Can't wait to get the verdict from Miss I-Just-Don't-Like-It-Garcia, The Orange Peel and the guest judge.

Couldn't resist - I had to look!
Actually, I think all four collections are pretty great.
Right now, at first viewing, I like Laura's the most. I think part of it is because it's what I would personally prefer to wear.
But Jeffrey's is coming in second for me. It's really cute! Some of Jeff's outfits look a bit ill-fitting in these photos, but I can't tell just from a photo. I would need to see the clothes in motion.
Michael's definitely has a "resort" feel to it. And Uli's is very pretty, very breezy and very Uli.
I actually like all of them. My favorite single items are:
Laura's gray gown with the gold sash (the one GG posted above)
Jeffrey's navy blue babydoll dress

Stunning gown by Laura, but I'm resisting looking at any pictures for the time being.
Just read that Vera Wang's father passed away the morning of her show.

believe it or not, i am on official PR overload. can't hear another word about it until i see the clothes move.
ps.
i don't get jeffrey's color story. the collection as a whole is not cohesive to me.

michael's final dress at top/
and uli's final dress. on BPR they said that people gasped when nazri came out in uli's gown...
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1298
Posted: 9/15/06 at 2:51pmGarland Grrl, you might have PR overload, but I know I'm going to be going through some withdrawal when this season ends. It's one of the few programs on television I actually watch.
re: The Official Project Runway summer season thread!#1299
Posted: 9/15/06 at 2:56pmDottie...It's the only reality TV show that I watch. It's so above the fray of the others with self-indulgent hosts, screen hogging judges, teen-scream & tweaked out Z-listers trying to mount a comeback.
