I loved Anthony's, Candice's and Ari's. I would wear them all. I think I tend to have a post apocalyptic shredded destroyed look to my wardrobe anyway, tho that's more cuz I'm a thrift store queen with no sewing skills who wears clothes til they fall apart. Holes and undone seams and rips and tears? Hey, it's a style.
I like the look too, and loved Anthony's and Ari's, but I hated Candice's - it looked like a distressed throw pillow from Marie Antoinette's boudoir.

And on top of every other problem with this soapy episode, they had to rip off the title of a great Dennis Lehane book. Did they think no one would notice?

Candice's dress was literally to die for, I have never seen anything like it, wild and wonderful. Is that skin popping out there in the skirt....WOW.....Love her. She should have won this episode. ?
Completely agree! I thought it was gorgeous, and I don't even particularly like Candice.

And that's why I don't l like Amanda. She likes herself enough for ALL the rest of us, even though she can't seem to make Project Runway work for her...
Those wear-to-work-in-an-office pants were about as rock and roll/cool as an apron over a prairie dress. Has Amanda ever been to a concert?

Well, that was a flat landing. Maybe I'm just tired of the show, but I thought the looks were uniformly dull, the winning look was awful and the diva attitudes even more irritating than usual. I'll give it one more episode.

What???
When Margaret was chafing at having to be dressed like a fairytale princess for the royal photographs, Cecil Beaton was nattering on at her about how being a fairytale princess would uplift and inspire young (read lower class) British women. According to him, after seeing Margaret's pix, one of them might actually be inspired to go out and buy a scarf like Margaret's, thus - somehow - making her dreary shopgirl life just a little brighter. I laughed my ass off.

OMG! Finally! I thought I was the only female on this planet not getting it! Mister Goode might be a lovely person in real life but on screen I always find him incredibly creepy; his DA character felt more like stalker/serial killer than romantic lead to me. But I find him perfect here because he pretty much nails Antony Snowdon's creepy charm. I can see why Margaret fell for him while I also want to scream 'Run, you fool!'
Add me to the list. In both DA and TC, dark-haired or blonde, he's never struck me as very interesting - just conventionally "good-looking" in a wimpy sort of way.

During that workroom time when Shawn was melting down because of the face-off, Claire looked at her with what seemed like blatant loathing. There was no sympathy in her expression at all. Not that Shawn deserved any... she was helpless without Claire to do her work for her. When it finally came down to having to compete against one another, Claire had a killer look in her eyes that said to me: "You're on your own now sis... tough shit b$&*." I get the impression that Shawn is the dominant personality of the duo but that Claire's resentment has brewed for far longer than just the time on this show of having to constantly put her own work aside to sew her sister's garments. For all of Shawn's "I'll fall on my sword" BS, I got the distinct impression that a part of Claire resents her sister to the point of near hatred. One is histrionic and the other is passive-aggressive. Overall, it's a pretty sad relationship, and not one I enjoyed watching at all. I couldn't even "love to hate" them like some previous "villains". It was just ugly.
I agree - their dynamic is truly bizarre and there seems to be a LOT of simmering subtext (on Claire's part). They'd be great in a remake of "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"

No influence? You haven't seen her designs? Who's influencing whom?
Wow! Her stuff is so much better and more mature than Brandon's - it's really polished and delightful. Of course it's very femme, not even minimally androgynous, and so it has a very different feel.

Kentaro's win was exactly right. Although I didn't like every look,, his was the only collection that read couture to me - and that put it in a different and justifiably winning category than anyone else's.
Ayana's last dress was spectacular and her headwraps were creative and pretty, but I HATE prairie dresses and wasn't all that impressed with most of her other looks, especially in that metallic palette. She's talented and she pushed herself, and I think she'll have a very successful career.
Margarita's collection was fun, but it is definitely resort-wear, not much of anything original.
Brandon, what can I say. Sweet guy stuck on one note (and not one that I like personally) whoshould have been critiqued early in the season to do something different. His runway was drab, frumpy and repetitive.
Heidi, Heidi, Heidi - did you look in the mirror before you left the house? OMG, what a horrific, tacky dress!

Not unless he had another marriage ceremony AFTER the divorce from Margaret was final. Which I doubt he did.
Mutli-million-dollar mansions in the desert for when LRH comes back? Laying out clothes for him every morning and every night? Damn.....they're pretty much a groupthink Mrs. Danvers! And you're allowed a respite of 21 years after your death to come back to Earth and rejoin the SeaOrg to fulfill your billion-dollar contract?
As Rinder pointed out, he's already 10 years late.
Thank you for "groupthink Mrs. Danvers" - I'm still laughing!

Did Leslie Abramson write this script? Was she their only source? There has to be a reason that she is portrayed as a saint when she had a shady reputation. She was willing to throw herself under the bus to save her boys? Eric made a huge recovery because Leslie "re-mothered" him? What a bunch of hogwash. And don't forget, she was also able to be a hands on mother to her new child. Mother of the year that one, she wasn't weak or incompetent, like Lyle's attorney who had to quit because she didn't even know her own child anymore.
The whole thing seems backwards because Law and Order has always focused on the cops and prosecutors, and is considered to be very pro-prosecution. Here, the defense is ready to lay down their entire careers, and go with minimum pay like heroes. The prosecutors and judge are almost cartoon villains. And the family suddenly realizes that Lyle and Eric were innocent children subjected to horrific abuse, and had to kill to save their own lives.
I'm guessing next season will focus on poor set-up OJ.
Or poor set-up Jodi Arias.

It's fascinating to me how the CO$ rank and file members just lap up these statistics without questioning their ludicrous claims. Even Leah admitted she bought into the show. But they seem to get away with it
The nonsensical "statistics" and those CREEPY promos full of cartoon androids all looking alike and working in concert. Ugh, skin-crawling.

I was too young to watch this trial when it happened; but I gotta say Jodi Arias' defense team putting Travis Alexander's character on trial is right up there!! I was stunned and disgusted!!
I watched these trials and agree that the trashing of the victims in both cases was disgusting. The judge in the Arias case was a fucking idiot who had never tried a death case bfore - and it showed. Let me add a slightly different third example: accusing Casey Anthony's father of molesting her while he was defending his murderous daughter was another "judge WTF are you thinking" trial - defense attorney Jose Baez , who was apparently sleeping with his client - probably would have trashed the four year old victim if he could have thought of a way.

She had a piece of neon lime green fabric that was supposed to be made into a long dress with the fur on the sleeves from the elbow to the wrist. It makes me cringe just thinking about what that would have looked like.
Makes me cringe, too - which is why I wish Tim hadn't talked her out of it. Although it's hard to imagine it being much worse than the faux-fur rug she produced.

That is a good point. My guess is that there are some provisions for situations somewhat like this in their union contracts that would help soften the hit. As for the businesses, yeah...that is a problem, but I assume that they were able to stay afloat without HOC, so hopefully they can continue to do so.
I'm not sure about that. I was in one of those IATSE unions for a long time, and even if you worked constantly on one show or at one studio in a steady non-project job, union work was always week-to-week. That may have changed, and it may not be true for a certain job level (like assistant director), but most below the line or crafts jobs really don't have any security attached to them. I was at one studio for 20 years and got let go with a week's notice; I'm not bitching, since industry jobs are generally well paid and I thoroughly enjoyed my career - but there is always uncertainty.
-
Queasiness aside, I'm put off by the show's point of view. This is far less about the crime and the "boys" (not), whom we are being asked to believe about everything including that ridiculous "they're gonna kill us on the sailboat" defense than it is about Leslie Abramson. Lesie's fight for justice, Leslie's maternal instincts with the boys, Leslie's new adopted baby, Leslie's mean dead mom, Leslie's husband's take as a reporter on how the trial is being perceived in the media. Finding it tedious and repetitive, and completely unbalanced as a picture of this trial.

I have been waiting for the show to replicate the ending of the British one:
Mrs Underwood spent most of the last season plotting the death of her husband and ensuring her cushy post-public office life. She actually does it as a way to ensure Underwood's legacy. The US series Claire is much more ambitious but I really wanted to watch her orchestrate Frank's death without him knowing it.
Saw the British series and I completely agree with you in wishing for that ending.

I think they'll be fine. I've seen the guy who plays Hammerschmidt in quite a few things, I hear the actor who plays Doug Stamper is basically the polar opposite of his character (thank goodness!), so he may want to try something else, and there are so many other "established" actors on the show that I think their HOC experience will be an asset, not a detriment, to their resumes. Spacey's actions don't change the fact that this show has some pretty stellar performances by many/most of the cast.
Forget the actors, they'll be fine. It's everyone else from lighting to continuity to food services to grips and costumers etc. who will be adversely effected. There are tons of below the line people and adjunct local small businesses who earn their living by working on this or any other series, and they are the ones who will feel the real financial hit from this.

I though the bonnet was straight out of Little House on the Prairie. Brandon himself mentioned Bo Peep when he commented his look on the runway so he was definitely not thinking arming cap.
Now what could possibly say "warrior" more than:
"Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
and doesn't know where to find them;
leave them alone, And they'll come home,
wagging their tails behind them."
I like Brandon and even though his stuff isn't to my taste, I get that he has a point of view and that his clothing definitely looks like a collection. That comment, however, is one of the most idiotic things (given the challenge) I've ever heard - and speaks to a level of immaturity that I suppose might be excused because he is only 24. Like many other cancer survivors on this board, I found that bonnet both insensitive and offensive. Losing your hair to chemo is bad enough, but being infantilized on top of that? No.

I think he's a Dogo Argentino. http://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/dogo-argentino/
Thanks - that certainly looks like Dog (I LOVE Dog but he'd be too much for me to handle). Sounds like a very tough - in a good way - breed!

What was that spectacular black and white building with the stairs at the end?
And does anyone know what breed Dog is?
Susan Sarandon finally got something to do in a season that has mostly wasted her presence.
Does anyone think that Smitty will really recover?

And I agree with you and OP. I watched the trial gavel to gavel and it was not only creepy the way Abramson petted and patted the "boys" (who weren't boys but young men), but how incredibly, glaringly manipulative it was when - after being in dark suits and Rolexes - they showed up at the trial in pastel argyle sweaters to make them look more like schoolboys. I don't know if they were abused, but they are stone cold killers either way, and they belong behind bars. I even remember Dunne's piece (and God, I miss him!). I like Falco, but this portrayal is a caricature, not a character.

S06.E03: Perfect Pairings
in Project Runway All Stars
So glad I had already swallowed my coffee when I read your RBG comment or my screen would be dripping right now!
Anthony's model looks like she's about two days away from dying of starvation, and I find it truly offensive that this "look" is being held up to young women as something to aspire to.
