unfashionable

I may be in the minority, but I cringe when the poor models have to walk virtually topless down the runway. That was the second time I saw Dmitri make an outfit like that. I find it disrespectful to them as women.

Anya was in an earlier season. You're thinking of Ayana.

Thought it was a great finale. Happy for Kentaro's win. Margarita gave him some good advice about the showing order. I think Tim Gunn unintentionally did Brandon a disservice by not pointing out the lack of a" wow" piece or some variation in color. I didn't mind the model's comments. Project Runway has tried different formulas for the models throughout the seasons, from walking clothes hangers to getting to know them as people. Not sure how I feel about this plus sized model thing. Women come in all shapes and sizes and ages. Many people on this board are over 50. There are some great older models and shorter models too. If you're going to change things up, why just plus sized? What is a "model" anyway?

Here is an excerpt of an article about Kini that appeared in the Honolulu Star Advertiser this morning: "I wasn't surprised because producers warned me, You and Sam are a storyline, so I knew already. I can't change anything that came out of my mouth, but I didn't bash anyone, he said. I tried to keep it professional by giving constructive criticism , and the judges and other designers were saying the same things too. But the producers only used me as the bad one. I said a lot of good things and I was kind of bummed that they never used the good stuff I said." "Donovan did not acknowledge Zamora's help, even in subsequent episodes that had Zamora giving him extra fabric when none of the other designers would help the novice designer. Yet, Donovan paid him back with insults, including suggesting Zamora is a great sewer, but not a designer. Today, Zamora takes it all in stride saying, "they played it that way for ratings, so they needed something like that." "

So the last challenge is to make 8 outfits in four days..... wonder what Kini's going to do with the extra three days?

The producers want to keep Sam, because they know that every week we will tune in to see if Sam (finally) gets eliminated. This is a reality show and they think we want to see conflict over good designs. I cringed when Ken came back but so far he has been a pleasant surprise. I think even his designs are much better than on his PR season. No, he wasn't nice to Sam but Sam treats other people badly so he kind of deserved it. Alyssa looks much better with only light eye make up. She is a naturally pretty woman and the heavy make up ages her and doesn't suit her.
