Three things about tonight's Project Runway.

[apocalypsos]

1. STFU, Gretchen. You too, Ivy.
2. Jesus, what the hell did Michael Costello ever DO to you people?
3. April's model looked like Dr. Seuss's favorite $10 hooker, and I'm bitterly disappointed Michael Kors didn't throw that out there.

I only caught the last half hour, and I still wanted to punch Gretchen and Ivy in the face. JFC ON A POGO STICK.

I kinda wanted to punch Drummond, too, at the end. "He only cut a couple of squares and wrapped them in a strip of fabric!" YOUR SKIRT WAS A TUBE YOU WRINKLED. YOU SAID AS MUCH ON THE RUNWAY TO THE JUDGES. SHEESH.

[crediniaeth.livejournal.com]

I missed that, but you're right! Michael C. just seems like a little gay bucket of sunshine, WHY RAIN ON HIS PARADE? *sadface*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Actually, according to AfterElton, Costello's one of the straight boys. (Well, the only straight boy now.)

I find that fact completely fucking hilarious and absolutely wonderful all at once. :)

[crediniaeth.livejournal.com]

Consider me SKOOLED. Thanks, chica.

Yeah, that is kinda hilarious. Like how DannyV was the straightest gay boy I've seen on that show. Sort of.

Holy shit, really?

[druidchick.livejournal.com]

isn't he the one with the kid??

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's him. (That actually annoyed me in the workroom afterward, when one of the ladies -- Kristen, I think -- was like, "Any of you other guys have kids?" then sort of scoffed, like, "Yeah, right, gay men with kids.")

I wanted to punch all of them by the end, there--except, ironically, Kristin, who was the only one who actually seemed happy for him. I wonder if the contestants are always this bitchy about wins and we're only just now getting to see it because of the expanded length, or this particular group is just extra-special? I mean god, they were nicer to Gretchen when she won last week and she'd already established herself as Queen Bitch. Not to mention that I thought Michael Drummond didn't deserve the win if only for how he totally let them believe he made the pleating in that top instead of lucked out on finding the perfect fabric. (Oh, and contestants, way to completely miss everything the judges were saying about how simplicity is good and you don't dare overdesign something like this. They told you why Michael C. won, but you're all too self-inflated to listen. Although what do I know, I hated Valerie's this week. If I was her I'd be wondering if there was some sort of "top three but never winner" conspiracy going on now.)

Gretchen annoys the freaking hell out of me.

Ivy just makes me laugh even when she's being mean she's funny.

April's thing was hideous I mean really.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You know what Kristen's dress reminded me of? Star's harlequin Banana Republic dress from season one ... you know, the one that got her kicked off. If that one had been even more of a trainwreck, it would have been Kristen's.

That said, April put her model in a diaper. She could have left and I wouldn't have batted an eye.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

Her's wasn't pretty but I think April should have gone instead.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The only reason I'm not flipping out that she should have gone over Kristen is that neither one of them was bound to last very long anyway, unless April suddenly magically pulls some talent out of her ass next week, which I doubt.

[angels3.livejournal.com]

Is it just me or does she seem very blase about everything. I mean it could be a defense mechanism to hide behind but she always seems very flat to me.

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I'm not understanding a lot of the choices this season. Partially because I adore Christopher and they hated his outfit. :(

But, yes, Gretchen makes me wish she was in the bottom 3 just so she'd deflate her ego a little.

[eilonwy.livejournal.com]

I agree with everything you wrote.

Also, when April's model came onto the runway, I actually laughed out loud. I chortled at the tv. I couldn't stop giggling. I mean, *really*?! My viewing companion tried to convince me that hotpants-diaper-things are actually really in right now and that she saw some spread recently with models in diaper-hotpants and suit jackets, and maybe she's right, but it still looks utterly ridiculous.

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

Hotpants are in right now. Those hotpants are another story. (If they hadn't been white, she might have pulled it off. But seriously, man, when even Tim is saying it looks like a diaper, it looks like a diaper.)

But see, if they had called April out for her Seussian look, they would have had to admit that the HAT was totally fucking Seuss to start with. I'm not sure that letting the designer know that his hat looked like an extra piece of scenery out of Oh The Places You'll Go is terribly tactful.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

True, but I sort of liked it for being ridiculous and Seussian. I mean, really, it's not like any of the other hats were particularly practical, and they were all fantastic. Even the goofy orchid one.

[bittersweet_art.livejournal.com]

I just want to punch Gretchen in the face. I really wish she'd end up in the bottom three for at least two weeks in a row to get her off her high horse.

Oh, and I found this fabulous Bea Szenfeld collection made out of paper and couldn't help thinking about Casanova's comments about not being able to make clothes about something that's not fabric from last week.

[eleniangel.livejournal.com]

Every time Gretchen opens her mouth, I want to shove a bolt of fabric in it. Ivy was starting to annoy as well. I don't know WTH Michael C did to them in another lifeoff camera but clearly it was hideous.

Other Micheal's skirt was good, but the top looked like some sort of Dutch Yodeling Outfit from Hell.

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

I kind of wonder if he did anything, because what I got them was mostly a sense of "I thought it was bad and I am perfect in my taste therefor it must be terrible and the judges must be mad and I hate him forever for doing something I wouldn't have thought was good enough and winning". I'm sort of worried for the guy next challenge; it would be bad enough if it was a normal thing, but with five other people on whatever team he lands on, that's a potential five people carefully measuring his trajectory for throwing under the bus. Gretchen is pretty much bounce-proof at this point--god, I hope this doesn't turn out like the last two seasons, where I stop watching because the judges sincerely fall in love with a designer I loathe--so he ought to be hoping Casanova does... what Casanova does, hard. (But of course I think he has no idea that everyone is being this nasty because they're being extra back-stabby about it. Michael C let Gretchen know what he thought of her.)
