project runway! (with spoilers)

michael's outfit was really outstanding. definitely deserved to win.

i was rather unimpressed with most of the outfits. i think it's more a personal aesthetic issue, but i just thought a lot of the looks were rather ho-hum. i really didn't like kayne's but i've never been a fan of that whole black lace/mesh over nude overlay look.

i did like the way they switched it up and had the model's pick.

I'm so happy Michael won - he deserved it!

I liked Kayne's. Angela's was pretty good, but not as great as Heidi seemed to think.

Poor Bradley - I'll miss him and his potheaded ways

Lilykind · Hermes

Michael clearly had the whole look clearly defined and nailed it with his outfit. I'm so happy he's getting the recognition he deserved. Even when he's in a bind like he was in this challege, he really does make the best of it.

I was personally more drawn to Kayne's outfit. I adore the goth/old Hollywood combo aesthetic and I love leather used in elegant and unorthodox ways so I was just drooling.

I didn't know Angela's outfit was as great as what Heidi was saying. It was the same old Angela silhouette that only works on AA cups on top and those damn rosettes that she renamed tonight...good frickin' grief. At least it wasn't technicolored, so I'll give credit there where credit is due.

As for Bradley, it was totally his time to go...he is terrible at construction, but man he does make for some funny stoner moments.

I loved Michael's oufit, and was so excited that he won. When DVF said that she loved his hotpants I was over the moon and totally thought: "Take that, Tim Gunn." He just doesn't bring the drama like the other designers and that is so refreshing. And they got the Elle spread. WooWoo.

I liked Angela's dress.

Everytime I look at Kayne, I can't get past the fact that his skin tone and hair are exactly the same colour. Ugh. And the attitude is too much. Tattoo-necked guy needs to put his designs where his mouth is because his Madonna outfit was a hot mess.

Did anyone listen to Tim Gunn's podcast? He said that he had sort of assumed that Bradley was gay and then asked what gay man doesn't know who Cher is? Hysterical.

I wonder why no immunity this week. They certainly earned it.

ayo · Coach

yay! I was also happy Michael won...

I thought he's presentation was the absolute best. I'm really a big fan of he's stuff ...the outfit he did with the dog challenge was amazing I couldn't understand why it wasn't picked as one of the top outfits..

wicked · Coach

I thought Michael's outfit was brutally hot without being trashy. Kanye's outfit:was it just me or was the ass way too tight and see through? I liked how the dress looked from the front though. I really thought that other dude (Jackie O) should have been kicked off as well as Bradley, his outfit was so sloppy and the way it moved on the model was horrible.

Totally agree - I want that dress.

I keep thinking if your neck is that thick, why would you draw attention to it by tattooing it? Plus, I believe he called Angela a "femi-nazi" in one episode and said Laura was frigid, so I feel like throttling him, yet I doubt my hands would fit around that neck.

On a more serious note, I'm so glad Michael finally won a challenge, but I think project runway needs to work on some more subtle foreshadowing. I pretty much knew Michael would win from almost the beginning.

Ugh! I know! I keep staring at it, unable to figure out if his neck is already insanely thick PLUS the tattoo, or if the tattoo just makes it LOOK thick. I think it's really thick PLUS the tattoo. How unfortunate.

ha - glad i'm not the only one thinking that!

i loved michael's outfit and wish i had the body to pull something like that off.

i thought kayne's dress was gorgeous, but the butt area was weird - like the ruching ended too high or something - it made her ass look funny. but i loved the dress overall.

i was shocked that for once i actually liked something angela made. i could've done without those stupid rosettes, but i thought the dress itself was really nice.

i really hope vincent goes next, i can't take him anymore. i think woody allen and rick moranis had a baby, and it's vincent.

lynnie · Chanel

sad to see bradley go even though it was his time- i loved the way he laughed at his own comments during those interviews- "maybe she doesn't like my beard" hahahha, so cute!

So glad Michael won even though I thought Kayne's was more striking- he has so much talent but seems like he's rarely recognized for it.

Want Angela, tattoo neck, and Vincent gone ASAP!!
