I normally wear my hair quite short but even so, I too found it liberating to be hairless after chemo - much to my shock! What I did hate, though, was losing my brows and eyelashes. Having a bald head can be a choice, but no eyebrows and lashes made me look ill. This was ironic because I actually felt pretty good - I tolerated chemo pretty well. 

I definitely would not have been into wearing a baby bonnet or any of the other "looks" that loaded up the wearer with layers, straps, constricting parts. I needed to feel as unencumbered as possible. And I am never into any "empowerment" look that relies on emphasizing breasts, especially now that I have to strap a pillow onto my chest each day (I am not a good reconstruction candidate).i will go with jeans and boots, as some said upthread. 

THIS is empowerment, to me:

I wanted to post this several days ago, but I'm in New England and we lost power for a few days after the storm on Sunday. Better late than never!

Oh, and regarding the discussion of Project Runway designers who have been successful in their field - what about Austin Scarlett? He shows at Bridal Fashion Week every year, and is quite successful!

Please take talk of past seasons and past contestants to their appropriate threads.  This thread is for discussion of this episode only.

Kenya deserved to win. Brandon´s designs, especially this one, make me want to throw up. My favorites are Kentaro and Margarita, even though I don´t especially like any of their designs. This is a horrible season, horrible, the worst even.

BUT when u go to the Fashion Week thread - u'll see Project Runway has decided to sent 5 designers + 1 mishmash collection of all designers this year to New York Fashion Week - so they have to carry Margarita through, also next week..

 

Also the secret winner of this season is in my eyes model MEISHA - week after week the designer who got her won - so often that I don't even remember the last winner look that she didn't walk down the runway - so there u see how much of a difference a good model can make - it can be everything... to be honest I think that's why Kentaro was so weak this week, his asthetics dont work with plus size models (same goes for Brandon imo) - Liris is a super strong model, u dont forget her outfit, she made some looks stand out this season but Jasmin was in the bottom quite regularly, more than not designers got eliminated when they had her - I think that is not fair for the designers who have weaker models, they should have all equal chances to show off their best work. so models in different sizes: yes! but only if every designer works on same size and they have equal chances every week.

Yes! I love Meisha - I think she has looked stunning every week. I may be among the very (very) few who like having to hear what the models have to say.

All this talk about preferential treatment in previous seasons and what we now know about Harvey Weinstein make me seriously wonder how much he potentially influenced Anya's win?  

Umm, I'm a little behind in episodes, should this not have been a spoiler or at least in hidden content????

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