Home stretch.
Casanova, don't ever leave. What will the show be without your somewhat clueless joie de vivre?
God, are we getting sick of looking at ugly satin dresses.
God, are we getting sick of looking at ugly satin capri pants.
Still, we think this is a skosh better than Ivy's QVC outfit.
No, that's not the most stylish top in the world, but at least it hangs on her nicely.
And there's at least a little interest in the back.Hideous shoe alert.
And while that pleating on the inside of her thighs reminds us of chafing, it too provides enough interest to bump it up a notch.
But oh, mercy. There's a reason that SATIN CAPRI PANTS never caught on, designers. NOT FLATTERING.
No, this is not a good look by any stretch, but we'll give him some points for trying to add some subtle interest here and there. Tim Gunn's Workroom:
Throw tomatoes if you want, but we admired Gretchen in this episode. Look, we're not diminishing her performance of last week, but if she was really the bitch and the self-centered drama queen we've all been saying she is, then she wouldn't have had the capability to put aside whatever she might have been feeling about Tim's outburst last week. That she still valued his opinion of her work and didn't want past difficulties to get in the way of that is pretty mature and open-minded of her.
That doesn't mean she didn't make a butt-ugly garment, though.
There isn't a thing about this we get.
We don't get the dyeing and we don't get the ruching.
And we damn sure don't get the idea of putting a tank top with a mullet hem over a dress. Nothing about this made any sense to us.
The idea behind the skirt wasn't bad, actually. What we don't get is why it looks so sloppy. Her work is usually pretty close to impeccable in its execution.
Without the weird tank top, she could have had something. Say what you will about her work, her instincts are usually pretty good (at least when she's not trying to elect herself team leader). We don't understand the thinking behind this one at all.What did they do to that poor girl's hair? When a girl's got an afro as fine as that, you leave it alone. You don't do her up like a backup singer for Debarge.
And Gretch, honey? Put those boots back on the wall. They're not as fabulous as you think.Tim Gunn's Workroom:
Tomorrow, the finalists and the decoys will be showing their collections at Lincoln Center (we have to stop ourselves from typing "Bryant Park" all the time). Here's the game plan: we will be in the tent, tweeting away to our hearts' content. We will have an open post set up here on the blog where you can read each tweet as it pops up and comment away on the blog. After the show, we will rush back to Laura's place and will be obsessively checking online until the pictures start showing up. Then, we'll put up a post for each designer's collection. This is an ongoing process because the pictures don't become available all at once, so we're asking for your patience on this one. By mid to late afternoon, all the dresses from all ten collections will be up. We get a lot of new visitors on finale day and a lot of them don't understand this. Since we're going to be so busy, we're deputizing all of our minions. Please explain the process to the newbies as they come. And please don't link to other sites that have the pictures. We know you'll be dying to see them, but that's kind of rude when we're working so hard to get them to you. Besides, we always have the full collections up faster than anyone else.
In the meantime, here we sit, in Laura's apartment, waiting for a bunch of PR alums to show up for a little impromptu party she decided to throw. Oh, look. There's Uli. Gotta go, bitches! Your jealousy tastes like candy!
