Your description is spot on AND made me laugh!

It probably seems weird, but I really would have loved to have Ayana's Shopkins look in this challenge - to me, it completely says, "Fuck you, breast cancer."

Riffing on "Lordy": Will no one save us from these meddlesome judges? Okay, I am a breast cancer survivor (eleven years!), and from my personal POV: Ayana's was cool and beautifully made, but had nothing to do with the theme. Kentaro's looked like a fucking shroud. Margarita had a good idea with the feeling of "chaos" (which truly nails the bc experience), but the result was SO cliched-mixed-with-prom-mixed-with-superheroine that even the beautful movement it had couldn't save it. Brandon: I actually liked his look better than anything else he has sent down the runway, but it was still the same old same old and that bonnet was DISGUSTING. That particular kind of headgear makes women look utterly subserivent, not warrior-llike at all. And even though using pink was probably the correct thing to do, there was something vaguely off-putting to me about it. Kenya: nailed it. Not a fan of that blue, but the combination of the big shoulders and those petals over the shoulders and breast area was SO on target, showing off that part of the body in a ballsy, proud way. I think she should have won.

He drank it. Sometimes straight from the bottle, sometimes mixed with sodas or something. It's a tough episode to watch without feeling nauseous.

Bunchy - who knows? He can just go buy his own bar with his recovered money anyway insead of taking over that Hollywood Blvd slag heap. Not shocked but wondering why the already somewhat shady Theresa would feel the need to confess. Agree, cannot wait for the last episode. This is the last season for me. I'm kind of hoping that Mickey makes good on his threat and comes after Ray. . . successfully. Bunchy and Darryl are now neck in neck for the title of The Stupidest Donovan. But on the bright side, at least we haven't had to see Cahnah, who has apparently joined the military. Ray seems to have forgotten him anyway.

It's a pity that someone used your game proposal to make assumptions about what kind of person you are - her reaction seems really over the top to me. But having said that, as a lifelong feminist, I can tell you that none of the feminist women or men I know consider The Handmaid's Tale to be a handbook for the feminist movement. A cautionary tale at best, taking the idea of oppression to an extreme to make a point, but a handbook for a movement? No.

The judges must have seen a different Margarita dress than the one I saw, which was ridculous, hideous and unoriginal (Wonder Woman, anyone?). And Margarita is getting on my last nerve with her operatic trilling during her th's. Michael deservedly went home for that mess, which was as unoriginal as Margarita's. Kentaro shouldn't have been dinged for using fire hoses if they are included in the materials the designers get to work with, but the look was just ugly enough to be sent home regardless of materials. Ayana's definitely fit the challenge best and she deserved the win. Not crazy about Kenya's sillouhette, but the use of the materials with painting made that a real standout of a black dress. Brandon is Brandon and it's too bad he refuses to push himself, - I was underwhelmed by last night's look and puzzled by the judges drooling over it. That said, I fully expect him to win the season because I'm sure his collection will look cohesive on the runway and he seems to be getting a complete pass for making the same look over and over. All in all, meh.

No need to speculate I posted this in the media thread from an article on the cheatwins: Both say they don't plan to step away from the limelight anytime soon. They won't rule out another go at reality television. "Truthfully, getting out in front of people is what's going to help us be successful," Shawn said. "Absolutely."

Such sad news, he was great. RIP, Mychael.

They won't rule out another go at reality television. "Truthfully, getting out in front of people is what's going to help us be successful," Shawn said. "Absolutely." Not successful as designers or anything else that actually requires skill and drive. So, successful as what? Identical twins who never met a camera they didn't like? BFD, you irritating hacks.

I couldn't watch it either, and I HATE when shows use the deaths of animals to try to shock or manipulate their audience - it's just disgusting and wrong. My "story" take on it was that Psycho Guy had a dog-fighting biz going (wasn't there a ring in the barn?) - it's something that really does happen in the SF valley and parts north like Palmdale. The hanging dog reminded me of Michael Vick's dog fighting "sport" because i remember they found dogs hanged on that property when they busted the fucking asshole.

Yes! She has exactly two ways of expressing emotions: smirk and sneer. And the one playing Cristal isn't much better.

Never having seen any of the real housewives shows (I guess that's where she's from) I had no idea who she was. My immediate reaction (after who the hell is this facelifted botoxed woman?) was who the fhell is this facelifted, botoxed, mouthy, ugly fame whore?

I don't see anyone bashing her clothing line. Someone said they looked like prom dresses, but so what? That's personal taste, not bashing (I happen to love her cothes, and that's personal taste, too). The bashing is reserved for Weinstein - he's an abusive pig who spent decades using his position of power to "coerce" women into all sorts of things they didn't want to do, and that includes pushing his wife's clothing line.

I suspect their hometown does not love the twins, but I'd love to hear someone who's from there tell us how they are regarded.

Oh sure. Because who WOULDN'T want to spend $3250.00 on an eye-poppingly ugly jacket that looks like a coked-out costume designer's idea of a cross between Miami Vice and Sons of Anarchy?

This! I know it would be difficult to write a character as "pure" and morally upstanding as Crystal 1 at this time in our history. But pitting two women (Cristal2 and Fallon) who are basically equally sharky, ruthless and bitchy against each other is just plain dull dramatically. And if we do get an Alexis, there are going to be THREE identi-characters. As silly as Crystal 1's wide-eyed naivete could be, at least you could root for her - I don't see ANYBODY here to root for.

Whether or not there was love in that relationship, children are an entirely different matter: they are paychecks. Younger women who marry rich older men usually have kids as quickly as possible to ensure that in case of divorce, there will be an ongoing, very lucrative money stream - at least until the kid turns eighteen. So in that sense, Weinstein is a great baby daddy: he'll be paying Georgina and children a lot of money for a very long time. Kind of OT, but in the same vein, I'm expecting to hear that Louise Mnuchin is pregnant any day now.

Marchesa was launched in 2004 and was successful on its own, but did not become a red-carpet name until 2007 when The Beautiful Georgina Chapman married Harvey Weinstein, when the lecher started pushing stars of his movies to wear the Marchesa brand. Not my definition of a love match as much as a power merger. But who knows? As for anyone feeling sorry for Claire, just no. She didn't "own it," she was just backed into a corner where she HAD to admit it. Her snotty, entitled attitude is "a little cheating here and there - what's the big deal, since I'm so speshul that the rules don't apply to me." She and thing 2 are talentless hacks who have only one thing to capitalize on: being twins. And I may have missed it since I skimmed through the comments, but it WASN'T JUST the tape measure. She was writing measurements down on paper AND HER HANDS so she could refer to them in the workroom.

Agree, both actresses are truly awful - felt like I was repeatedly getting hit on the head with a hammer by the "oh so ironic, oh so snarky" one-upsmanship line readings. Also, although I appreciate the updated attitude of feminism, it doesn't leave much room for any contrast between Cristal and Fallon, who are basically mirror images of each other. in attitude and ambition.

Heidi is impressive in a lot of areas, but acting is not one of them. That was soooooo fake!

I LOVE this look and always watch for it when I'm watching 50's movies. I've been waiting for years for someone on PR to use it in a design!

If Cha Cha and the twins are examples of what anyone in production thinks is entertaining then they need glasses and hearing aids. Or maybe just to learn that entertaining is not the same thing as irritating, distracting and degrading to the standards the show used to have.

If Claire-bear leaves of her own volition I think we can expect a Razzie-level performance, at least as histrionic as Baldy's was, with Claire "not wanting to make everyone else uncomfortable." The problem with that is that she - like Baldy - will act like she is taking the moral high ground and never have to acknowledge (even to herself) that she's just a shitty, copycat designer.
