OMG, Anna's explanation of her plan! LOL!  Christian's telling her NO. Just NO. We'll see if she sticks with it! |

OMG, Anna's explanation of her plan! LOL! Christian's telling her NO. Just NO. We'll see if she sticks with it! Christian needs to stop telling her no. Just let her take some of her weird ideas about things like bleeding nipples out on the runway and live with the results. I really don't get how some of the looks even qualify as lingerie looks. Oh, and btw, when one of the designers said that lingerie in public has a time and that time is now, I flashed back to last Friday, when I saw a woman wearing camo shorts with a matching green lace bra as a top. Let me tell you, the time for that particular outfit was not really 9:00 a.m. and the place was really not a local Catholic church's bake/rummage/book sale. Not that anybody said anything, but there were a lot of people doing double takes---and I'll admit that when I came around the corner and practically walked into her by mistake, I was somewhat stunned at her choice of outfit for that particular event as well. |

Brandon says it was nice to see something different on the runway, innovation. Yeah, definitely different! I have NO idea who'll be in the top or the bottom, because there are some weird looks, and who knows what the judges are looking for.
Judging:
Brittany (pretty cute look actually), Anna (without the long bleeding nipples), Bishme are all safe. They loved Bishme's look, but they didn't like the shoulders on his jacket because he's done it too much. Anna's bubble head is in?? It was a boring outfit except for that bubble. I liked Brittany's a lot, so probably would've picked that one to win.
Top looks: Rami! Yay! I love him, and his look was at least pretty. The way the skirt hung was lovely. Prajje's bustier, kilt and bomber jacket went together at least. Brandon didn't like that the underwear was not his feature piece. KaraSaun's look is a 20s dress, and when it went down the runway Sergio said he couldn't believe she did that in so few hours. They love how it was sewn so well, glamorous, etc.
Bottom looks: aw, poor Fabio again. His look was weird, I must say. Paulina says it's shower curtain like, with that floral sheer fabric (ugly IMO). Nina's not there, who's been telling him to turn up the volume, but Brandon says she'd tell him now to edit. The fabric covering the stomach should've been off, then he may not have been in the bottom, they say. He is having a rough time! Laurance's hot guy had a light pink jacket, corset (?) and boxer brief - the corset looks so weird on him. Elaine calls it a girdle on a six pack! Korto redid her whole look last minute, and now she's in the bottom too! Uh oh. They don't like her lace bra top. Sergio was very nice to her, complimenting how quickly she did that outfit, and reminiscing how he watched her on her first season and was an inspiration to him. During judging, they say it was uninspired, no idea how it went together and for an underwear challenge it was not good. Sounds like it's between her and Fabio they're deciding between - whose was worse?
Winner was between KaraSaun and Rami -- they choose KaraSaun!
Laurance is in. They tell Fabio his look was unfocused with too many ideas. They didn't understand Korto's fabric, fit of bra was off, it was not cohesive. But, they announce Fabio is out! Poor guy -- seems like they had it out for him all season so far; they haven't liked much of anything he's done. I'm bummed for him. Brandon showed up in their lounge instead of Christian to say goodbye and send Fabio off, which made me think they were going to do something different, but no, he's sent to go clean up. Without him, who's going to be their next punching bag??
Road trip next week - to Christian's new store?

I'm sorry, but I would have sent Laurence home. The suit was well-constructed, but it was an underwear as outwear challenge. Her underwear consisted of basically the barely seen top of a pair of briefs and what I originally thought was just an oddly made cumberband. This isn't the first time she's basically shrugged her shoulders and made what she wanted even if it didn't really fit the challenge either. I get that she's talented--that suit had to have been a lot of work to get done in a single day--but either everyone has to meet the challenge or no one needs to do so. At least the other two tried to do something that made more of a nod toward underwear as outwear.
I'm also not sure how I feel about Kara Saun winning either. At first, when it was being walked down the runway, I thought it looked oddly wrinkled, but it didn't seem so standing still, so maybe it was just the motion of the model's walk. I just didn't really get the connection of the outfit to her long story about Black Wall Street---and I've been to the Greenwood Historical Center in Tulsa and listened to a presentation by one of the founders of that center and talked to her afterwards, so I do understand what happened there as well as the significance of Black Wall Street etc. But I just didn't really see the inspiration of that place in that particular garment. It felt a little more thirties than twenties to me. I had no argument with the garment itself, but I thought the story behind it was being over-sold as a point in its favor. But then, I also like Rami better than I like Kara, so my judgment may be clouded by that.
One other thing: If I were a designer on PR, I'd be knocking down the other designers to get Mimi's model card if I could. Damn, can that woman work a runway.

The funniest thing about that church sale encounter is that the only comment I heard at all about that woman's outfit came from an elderly woman who muttered, "You don't wear earrings like that in church!" Well, yeah, she was wearing big gold hoops that were maybe a little flashy for some people's idea of church-appropriate jewelry, but c'mon...the earrings were more of a problem than that she was wearing a bra as a top? And it really clearly was a bra, not like an exercise top that might be mistaken for a sports bra. This was a lacy green bra on a woman who, well, definitely needed a bra. And the first thing this woman noticed was her earrings?
Seriously, Mimi's runway walks are becoming the high point of this season's shows for me.

Did not care for that challenge….nothing was attractive. We have had three dogs in a row so I hope we see actual fashion next week.
Frankly, I was hoping Korto would be gone. My memory of her first season was pretty much what she is giving us this time around---a superior, unpleasant attitude. Everybody else seems to be supportive and kind.

Did not care for that challenge….nothing was attractive. We have had three dogs in a row so I hope we see actual fashion next week. I was thinking the same thing. The same fabric challenge didn't really work because of the fabric that was chosen. The 90s challenge was just too geared toward (and against) certain designers, and I wasn't interested in seeing all those looks from that era anyway (just a personal thing for me there, however). And underwear as outerwear? Haven't we all seen that before? Plus, some of the designers really didn't acknowledge that as that much a part of their challenge. I know PR repeats some challenges from season to season. I hope these don't get repeated, unless the fabric chosen is different in the first case, and they do something like having the designers draw for particular eras in another. And please, just drop the team challenges. They rarely work out well. If they must work together, let them do so in smaller groups of two or three. |

My mind went immediately to Sue Ellen Mischke on Seinfeld, wearing a bra, gifted to her by Elaine, as a top It was so absurd at that time to think that anyone would ever do such a thing, that a whole comedic episode was written about it. How times have changed lol! |

I felt bad that they basically said that Fabio’s look would have been fine if he had done what he originally planned instead of following Christian’s advice to up the volume.
Same with Korto. Her original bodysuit was gorgeous. I don’t know why she got rid of it and did that stupid bralette instead. If she wanted to do a skirt, she could have just done an overskirt that left the bodysuit exposed in the front and called it a day. She for sure would have been safe.

Interesting that they finally told Bishme that his exaggerated shoulders have been a problem and he would have scored higher if he didn't use them....about time.

How times have changed lol! Lol, me too. I kind of wanted Laurence to have her model wear a bra with his suit as homage. They called out (rightly) Bishme’s shoulders but they should call out Brittany’s use of open/layers of strips as bottom halves (I can’t think of the right terms). She did it with her winning pants, she did it with this skirt..and with the skirt the strips were sticking between the model’s thighs when she was walking down the runway which was not an attractive look. I kind of wish Anna would have kept the bleeding nipples but had red fabric at the ends. Just for the sheer amusement. Kara Saun’s and Rami’s were beautiful. I’m not fond of the whole underwear as outerwear look (if I never see another starlet wearing underwear (that look like swim bottoms) with a sheer skirt that’s a-ok). |

Personally, I was stunned that they were acting like underwear as outwear was this hip, new thing. Maybe there was a resurgence of it on runways recently, but it's not exactly a new idea.

It's been a thing since the '80s with Madonna in the Like a Virgin and Desperately Seeking Susan days. |

I'm all for feeling comfortable in your body, but Anna needs to adjust the straps on that bra UP.
I like Korto, but I feel like Fabio at least DID more work with his design. As one of the judges said, Korto's look was about the fabric. Without that fabric of the skirt and the doily/lace of the top, what did she have?
I think the judges kept Laurence because, even though there wasn't much in the way of undergarments, that suit was gorgeous. Frankly, with what her model looked like, she shouldn't have covered him up. She should have done a strapped-type garment like Fabio did instead of that cummerbund corset and then had him take off the jacket. If you've got a model with a bod like that, USE IT.
So happy that Kara Saun got the win, although Rami's was gorgeous too.
Does Christian have a save this season?

I think he has a save and just hasn't used it. I don't remember him saying that there wasn't one. And I think the designers have referred a time or two to whether or not he might use his save.

While I'm happy about her creating something lovely out of tragedy I got more of a Harlem Renaissance vibe from the outfit than Black Wall Street. BWS folks were more professional in nature while HR clothing had more of the fun vibe with the feathers and garter that she used in her garment. |

Out of the season so far this challenge is the only clunker. Only 12 hours, plus a lot of the designers were out of their wheelhouse and it showed. I liked the top three but really think that Bishme deserved some flowers as well. I was turn between Laurence going home or Fabio but Laurence suit, bustier thingy, and briefs were all stitched immaculately, while this was literally the third time they've had to tell Fabio to not hide his work under a bushel and he completely covered the nice briefs he made, and I think they got tired of it. At the same time, I'm annoyed at the judges telling he and Bishme has done certain design elements in their work too many times while Anna made another version of a dress she literally made days ago in that challenge a few weeks ago. I know for us it was two weeks, but considering the shooting schedules (often shooting challenges back to back with only a day's break every few challenges) it was literally DAYS, which is why I think so many designers were salty about her winning the challenge. Either way, you can't have one set of standards for some people and not for others.
