I'm getting ready to leave but had a few thoughts on PR,
This finale spoke to all that is wrong in fashion and all that was wrong with S3 project runway. During the show Uli and Laura clearly had the most beautiful, wearable collections. And they were wearable by a large cross section on women. You didn't have to be 6 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds to wear them. Even in the judging they all said how beautiful they were, how every woman would want to wear them, how buyers already were trying to find out how to get them. But did they win? No. Instead they chose mostly unwearable, not pretty clothes that very few women could wear or would even want to wear.
I've seen pictures of Heidi Klum ( as have we all) either candid shots or red carpet shots, she doesn't wear that kind of stuff. I've seen Michael Kors shows and his stuff in stores, he doesn't design stuff like that. That lady from Fashion Week sure as hell isn't going to wear anything like what Jeffrey sent down the runway. So why on earth was he the winner? I didn't see anything innovative. Just ugly and weirdly cut. The one point I'll give him was that for the most part his collection flowed well from one piece to the other. But he had two real dogs (those blue dresses) and the fit on some of the things was way off.
Getting to the "did Jeffrey sew his own collection?" question. I have no idea. But I will tell you that if I broke the rules and had someone lese sew for me, I sure as hell wouldn't put in the receipts for it! Was that supposed to be proof he didn't have someone else sew for him? That he didn't turn in receipts for it? He has a studio and a staff, anyone could have sewn those things. I'm not saying he didn't and should have been kicked off, but saying he must have sewn them because he didn't give us receipts saying someone else did is just ludicrous.
Ok, I'm off on my vacation now! See you next week.

His collection was pure runway. No one will buy/wear that except for a handfull of celebs. Laura's stuff had class & Uli's was 100% wearable. Mostly I am dissapointed in BRAVO. The drawn out drama wore me out this season. They also gave away the winner by having the ad forLaura's blog on the website before the show ended. Have any ot the other winners had blogs? No, only the runner ups.
Oh well, on to Top Chef.

I leave you with my Santino icon. My fave from last season. Obviously, I like the assholes. LOL!

Bravo burns me out on these shows because they drag them out too long. Top Chef being another example. Watched it last year but could care less this year.
I'm sure all the finalists will do well.

Not saying I agree with the choice of winner (I loathe that bastard and his clothes are mostly ugly) but as much as I love Uli's clothes and respect Laura's, neither of them was a fresh, exciting new direction for clothing - all their stuff, though beautiful, has been done before. So I do think Jeffrey, the toad, is innovative, and I think that's why they made him the winner.

I beg to differ, what did Jeffrey do that hasn't been done by Vivienne Westwood or Jean Paul Gaultier, or even Patricia Feild, and Heatherette?
Last year they said they took into consideration the work the designer did the entire season when they gave Chloe the win, yet this season Jeffrey had 3 wins, but was in the bottom 2 three imes as well. I wish they would just admit they pull this crap out their asses and be done with it.

The reason why "fashion" is basically irrelevant to
most women -- who live in jeans and sweatpants --
is that kind of attitude.
Five women in L.A. might wear Jeffrey's clothes.
Thousands will want Uli's. She'll do just fine in
the long run.
