He posted a letter he received from Kathy Najimy. I totally agree with every word she said. It struck me at the time as well.

I knew I loved her. I'm so glad she said something and that it was posted. Thanks for the link. :)

This is not about the Najimy piece, but is abt the Alison/Heidi BI that I posted a few days ago. Since it's PR and references the ep being discussed, I'm puttin it here. They are excerpts from an interview with Alison by EW.


PLUSES AND MINUSES Alison partly blames her loss on her bigger-than-average model

Alison called EW on Wednesday to tell us why she thought she'd won the challenge and why she thinks we have bad taste.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Alison, if I had a bigger salary, I totally would have put money on you to make it until the end. I really thought it might be an Alison-Uli finale.
ALISON KELLY: I think everyone is horrified. I guess they could only have one blond girl.


You didn't seem too happy with your model. Was she really that big? I mean, was she a size 4 instead of a size 2?
No, she's a lot bigger than me. She's absolutely gorgeous, but she shouldn't be a runway model. She's maybe a size 8 or a 10. She's not thin at all.

Why would the producers put in a model who's not runway-model size?
So people like me get eliminated. They threw in someone who had scoliosis whose shoulders are three inches different. Did you ever notice whoever's designing for Nazri often wins? There are three models who seem to win. It's because they have model bodies. I was cursed from the beginning. I had the model with scoliosis the first time — that's why I don't think I won the dog challenge. And this time, my model chose me. I was like, ''Oh no!''

I love watching Jeffrey and Laura bicker. He hated Laura's dress this week. Do I have bad taste if I think her dress was kind of great?
I think Laura's clothes are appealing to people. The thing with Laura is she's a really good seamstress. She's technically really good. My favorite piece was the one she made this week. The other stuff I find kind of hideous. She did two jackets with fur collars. I thought they were disgusting. But it's Michael Kors on the panel, and it's classic and elegant, so he loves it. My stuff is edgier.

Did you think there was a judge who got your style?
I thought Heidi did at the beginning, but then she turned on me. I think Vera Wang did. I liked having her there. I think my stuff is fashion forward and innovative, and that can be intimidating or not understood well.

Since this shows another side of Alison, some at fanchitchat are wondering if maybe Alison called in the BI in order to make Heidi look like the villain.

Persoanlly after reading Alison's EW article & watching her exit interview on the Bravo site. I think she is as much of an arrogant asshole as her friends Keith & Jeffrey and frankly I was glad to see her go.

I've always loved Kathy Najimy. Also, are you listening to Tim's podcast (http://www.bravotv.com/Project_Runway/tims_take)? I think he explains what he said to Alison on the show in last week's podcast (but I'm not sure because I was listening to the older ones later, and the degree of hatred he has for Vincent has overshadowed comments from episode 6).
