Dearest Project Runway,

Usually I like to open my letters with a hearty greeting like, "Hello!" or "Good tidings!" or "What up, Holmes?"  But after last night's episode of your little show, you leave me no choice other than to offer the following as your salutation: "Go suck an egg."

I don't even know where to start with my complaint, PR.  (Can I call you PR?  It's either that or "asshole."  Your choice.)  Usually at this point in the week, I write a very witty and fabulously droll blog about the minutia in the workroom as well as the disasters and triumphs on the runway.  Wonderful people read it and we all laugh and yell in delight. And while I enjoyed the prom dress challenge this week, the ending of the show left me so completely pissed off that I can't even muster the energy to be happy that Christian said "fierce" after not saying it last week or that Bossy Cow's client didn't even want her in the first place.  (A fact which I found to be 100% delightful.  So much so that I actually made "happy fists.")  But, PR, I'm just so….  MAD.   I'm so mad that I just have to jump to the end.

KEVIN WAS AUF'D AND BOSSY COW WON HER SECOND (UNDESERVED) CHALLENGE.  What the bloody F???

PR, let's get to the bottom of this unspeakable tragedy.  Did someone break up with you?  Did you eat a bad burrito?  Did you realize that 40 really isn't the new 30?  I feel like cutting Kevin and rewarding Bossy Cow was your way of working out some inner pain.  Is this your version of shaving your head at a Supercuts and then tattooing lips on your wrist?  Because if it is, then just like Britney, you just need a solid smack to the head with a polo mallet.  And have your tubes tied.  And stop dating the paparazzi and driving over people's feet and texting while driving and basically just being alive.  But I digress…

So I'll just come out and ask the question we're all thinking:  Are you slipping Ricky the old pork sword?  I hesitate to point fingers or start rumors that aren't true, but I'm wondering if you have a wild itch for a man in a mesh hat that only Ricky can satisfy.  I mean… that's the only thing I can think of.  It's either that or Ricky has a picture of you doing unspeakable things to a goat or defacing a library book.  Because HOW do you cut Kevin's dress over Ricky's?

KEVIN:

RICKY:

Okay, I can hear you saying, "But Kevin didn't sew the hem and Tim Gunn told him to and if you don't do what Tim Gunn tells you to, you get auf'd."  Bully.  Good point.  BUT, let's really look at these dresses.  Call me crazy, but I enjoy the fact that at least I can SEE Kevin's dress.  Ricky's model looks like she got caught up in a cheap mosquito net while awkwardly in the nude.  THIS IS NOT A FLATTERING DRESS.  Unless you're a nude mosquito wrangler.  And uh, let's review for a second:  Ricky made a bubble skirt LAST WEEK.  Remember?  Or were you paid to forget?

The judges also said that Kevin's dress made her look matronly.  While I admit that this was not Kevin's best endeavor, he's at least produced quality outfits from week to week whereas Ricky is ALWAYS in the bottom two.  ALWAYS IN THE BOTTOM TWO, PR!!  What does that tell you??? 

Final thoughts on Ricky: I feel like Ricky is becoming the William Hung of Project Runway this year.  And that's not a good thing.

Sigh.

Now, let's talk about the top two.  Bossy Cow vs. Sweet P.

BOSSY COW:

SWEET P:

I HATE the jewels on Bossy Cow's dress' chest.  They are sooooo cheap and tacky looking.  Honestly they practically give those things away in craft stores.  I feel like Sweet P really stepped up to the plate this week and if your top faves were these two gals then Sweet P's dress is the clear winner.  You can tell she really wanted to overcome being in the bottom 2 and worked hard to modify the design her client originally wanted.  SHE succeeded in all aspects of this challenge.  How can you not see this?  PR, honestly I feel like if I asked you to add 2+2 together you would give me the answer of 495849055 to the second power and then belch while giggling.

Now let's talk about who SHOULD have won:

CHRIS:

Basically, Chris nailed it.  It looks like a prom dress and it's not a huge costume piece for a drag queen or a fruit salad.  His high schooler looks really happy and pretty.  She looks 17 yet properly sophisticated.  And finally, this dress looks expensive.  PR, how was he not in the top this week??  His dress was definitely better than Bossy Cow's. 

And now, the other people you passed on who had better dresses than Bossy Cow's…

JILLIAN:

KIT:

Whatever, PR.  I just don't get it.  I'd take either of these over Bossy Cow's anyday. 

And now for the other guys in the bottom two… This is the only part in this letter where I say, "PR, I agree with you."

RAMI:

CHRISTIAN:

You were correct:  Both are disasters to the nth degree and deserved to be ridiculed.  Christian's was a calamity from the get go cuz his high schooler was a hysterical diva and if you put two negatives like these two together, you don't get a positive in this instance.  You get a brown poof.  And Rami's dress looked like a sad rehashed version of his dress from Week 1, but not as good.  (BTW, PR, if you get a chance, could you ask Heidi who she lunches with that would wear Rami's dress?  I wear jeans and a hoodie to lunch.  Unless I'm lunching at a country club, which I never am because I don't live in a John Hughes movie, I can't see where that dress would be worn.  Thanks!)

In closing, PR, please don't suck next week.  Please don't make asshole cuts just to create "buzz" about yourself, or keep certain people because they give great sound bites through their crocodile tears.  I'd like to remind you that this show is about FASHION and giving a struggling designer a shot at $100,000 to start their own clothing line.  And if a contestant isn't making fashion, then perhaps they should go on the show "Project Shit Box" and work it out over there.

 

Sincerely hoping for a brighter future,

Jennifer Eolin

This is why I love you so much.

And I loved, loved, loved Chris's comment in the sewing room when Sweet P and Victoria were complaining about how they keep being in the bottom two... to which Chris responds "Well I was voted off!" And yes, looking at all the dresses, he totally should have won.

Oh and Brian says: "Ricky's dress looks like it's made out of back fat." That warmed my heart. As always, you nailed it. (although I still kinda like the idea of Victorya... I mean, Bossy Cow's dress, minus the tacky jewels)

I could not agree more w/ everything you've said. My DVR cut off the end just as Heidi said, "Kevin" and then it stopped so i didn't know if he got kicked off. But, after reading this, i'm pissed. I definitely thought Ricky should have been in the bottom two and should have been kicked off. I'm not going to lie. I enjoy watching Christian on the show, and Kevin is a talented designer and Ricky...isn't. I'm extremely annoyed w/ the results. And Victorya, that woman. I just can't stand her! She's horrible! Anyway, Sweet P should have won it and Ricky should have been auf'd. Kevin has done well throughout this season while Ricky has sucked ass and yet they keep him on b/c he cries every episode.

being a short and full girl myself, my biggest problem (pun intended) was that Ricky and Kevin's dresses were too short to accomodate a shorter, more fuller girl and just made them look stubby. if Kevin would've gone with more of a blue or black infused red and either did an ankle length or fishtail hem, it would've looked OUTSTANDING. Ricky should've lost the poof and did an ankle length as well. the dress is still crap, but she would've looked better.

I still think Bossy Cow's model looks like she's had a hysterectomy. where the hell is her right boob?

I LOVED Chris's dress as well.

Maddie has been studying design for two years and she wanted to cover that mess in rhinestones too?! please, if she was REALLY paying attention in class she'd KNOW that big girls and poofy dresses don't play well together. if the dress was let out and had that hem like Jillian's it would've been the winner. but I'm a big fan of deep rich browns and reds (if you couldn't tell by now, lol)

I'm still upset at how callous the judges were, which is no different from any other day EXCEPT for the fact that they seemed to FORGET that they were talking all this shit IN FRONT of teenage girls who I guarantee at least one cried and one in the bathroom puking.

novel over. lol.

i agree with what you said about the judges talking shit in front of teenage girls.

First, I love your blog and it definitely makes me feel sane in this crazy PR season.

Second, Ricky is the Sanjaya of PR. Which in my opinion is way more offensive than William Hung because Sanjay actually stayed way too long, sending people home that were way more talented than himself. Just like Ricky. Stupid mesh. Stupid tears.

Off topic, but did you know that Sanjaya is also the name of the narrator of the great Hindu epic of the Bhagavad Gita? I doubt he had that hair though.

I want to see the tears shed when Ricky gets cut.

Brilliant. I couldn't agree more with what you have to say. Chris was the clear winner, and it's time for Ricky (who we call VP-village people, because of that mesh monstracity!) to go. He's obviously good for some tears, and some low level frills, but he is not up to par with the other designers. Overall, I don't understand the appeal of a shorty prom dress anyway. Most of these feel like a semiformal at best. This season's designers just all seem to have a completely different outlook on what is, and what isn't fashionable. But I do think that they are finally beginning to grow into themselves, and eachother, a little more. There might be hope for this season yet!

I loved Chris's and was so disappointed that the judges didn't even recognize the greatness of the dress, I thought it was gorgeous, and UGH! I absolutely hated bossy cow's dress, those jewels we're so f'ing tacky, and Sweet P's dress was super glamorous, in a nutshell, I was super disappointed this week, how could they send Kevin home and not Ricky!?

There was a lot to love about this episode. The prom pictures were delightful--I am in love with Sweet P and her date, and Kevin just made me laugh--but I wanted to kill the judges at the end. How could Chris not even make it to the top 3? How could the "professionals" be so be-dazzeled by the bedazzeler that they totally ignored the fact that Sweet P made a sophisticated, well-tailored dress, while reining in her client and making it age-appropriate, which was the hardest part of the challenge? The whole Ricky debacle was just inexcusable. The guy screws the pooch every single episode, yet he is still there. It makes me want to cry, but I'm not as emotionally unstable as Mr. Mesh Hat, so I'll just pout instead.

christians model was such a bitch.
the only thing that made me happy about this episode was that i knew she and all of her little friends (wait, do people like that have real friends?) saw how she acts. it made me smile.

i totally agree about kevin too! i had all of my money on ricky. sure kevins looked terrible, but the first thing that came to my mind was rickys model walked was that he put her in a canvas bag. at least kevin picked a good color.

and yeah! what was up with bossy cows jewels?! they looked like bad colored rocks. anything would have been better. i dont get why she couldnt have left it blank.

Chris didn't win because fashionistas have serious issues with chartreusse. Never mind that it's actually flattering on occasion, especially on women of color (his student, while not black, chartreusse's ideal, definitely has pigment).

Get over your color fears, judges! Chris got it.

You just repeated everything my mother and I said when we were watching... sad thing is I totally called Kevin leaving as soon as Tim said "Hem the dress" and he didn't. I hate that this show can get predictable and keep around the drama queens sometimes.

I would have worn Sweet P's dress to prom... and laughed at the girl with the beads like bossy cow's... this episode totally bit it.

When I saw Bossy Cow's girl & dress walking down the runway I actually giggled with joy thinking "aha, she's going down this week". I absolutely hated that thing... especially for prom. I really thought she was going to get it from the judges. I knew she wouldn't be out - due to Ricky's and Christian's dresses, but come on! It's been a few days now, I still cannot possibly understand the judges rationale or fashion sense anymore. Chris & Sweet P nailed this challenge - hands down. It's really frustrating to see them get overlooked, especially when that blue sack (which in my opinion did not even flatter her client) won.

And then you have Kevin... I can't believe it. Yes yes, it wasn't his best work or near it for that matter. And Christian's was a total disaster. But how in the world is Ricky still here? The color is horrible on his client, and he keeps making the same babydoll dress over and over. At this point you'd think at least they'd be perfectly tailored - but no, still sloppy. I don't have to go on with this, it seems pretty much a consensus that he should have gone. He is not in the same league as the rest of them. Kevin and Christian should have been in the bottom, but neither one of them deserved to be out, just based on their entire body of work and obvious talent.

One last thing that really bothered me this episode... did the teenage girls have to be there when they critiqued the designers? How hard would it have been to ask the girls (without the designers there) if they liked the dresses, how they felt in them, etc? Then they could have just put a large picture up of each girl when they were critiquing the designers. I just feel that it is incredibly cruel to critique the dresses and the fits in front of the girls. The normal models, OK, their models. But these are 17 year old girls, with different body shapes and I'm sure their own insecurities. It would also be hard, I would imagine, for any of these girls (except Maddie maybe) to say if they didn't like their dress in front of the designer. I just thought that whole process was in bad taste, with no concern for the girls' feelings.

Overall, I'm greatly disappointed in the judging this episode.

Thanks for the blogs, they are soooo entertaining!

I think this is the first week where there has been such a disparity between the way the dressed appeared on the runway (and on my tv) and the way they do in the pics. I thought Jillian's dress, the top really, was a flop onscreen but in the picture it looks much nicer.

And honestly, the color of Ricky's dress in nicer in the pic than onscreen. The bubble was still flaccid, but it's not as bad as the first glance led me to believe. I did think he was a gonner this week though. They flat out said he never "gives it up". Why keep him if not for the tears?

Kevin's dress was awful. As much as I hated the Mom for humiliating her daughter, she was right. Not to mention the bust was ill-fitting and once they did her hair she looked like a 40 year old street walker who bought a "nice" dress at Goodwill.

I really like the shilouette of Victoria's dress. The jewels didn't look so tacky on my tube, but the pic tells the truth. The dress was flattering to her model's legs and very age appropriate. It was a great prom dress.

Sweet Pea's (god, I hate typing that) dress was nice, but something in the mid-section was off for me. I do think she deserved to win though.

Rami really let me down this week. Guess immunity means never having to come up with an original idea? Blah.

Bossy cows dress, makes her model look pregnant, which is exactly how I'd like to be seen at my prom wouldn't you! Kevin was an amazing designer I was hoping he would stay, even though I heard a spoiler about who's gonna win & everything is pretty on cue with that this season, I was still hoping kevin would go farther.

Love your blog and I can't wait for it each week! HATED Bossy Cow this week and I was so pissed when she won! But, when they auf'd Kevin instead of Ricky, I was livid! I think they are keeping him around not only for his fake tears, but to see which God-awful hat he will wear next!

I totally agree with you. I thought Ms. Fierce's dress was hideous and tacky. It was wrong on so many levels. It was the worst style for that girl's body type. It did nothing to slim her down and instead made her look chunky. The part that drove me crazy was that the back part of the hem was shorter than the front part. AAAAHHHH!!!. I thought he should have been auf'd.

Bossy Cow's dress looked like it came off the rack of Ross and it was not flattering on that girl's figure either. She essentially got a tall, thin girl and did not make the most of her ideal body type. It seems like a lot of these designers don't know how to fit dresses for real women instead of form models. I am getting tired of the bubble hem. Let's move on to another fashion trend please.

Loved Chris' and Sweet P's dresses too. So beautiful and they know how to flatter women's figures. What a travesty!

Hi Jennifer! I have been reading your blog since I got addicted to your angry hate letters a loooong time ago, but I never comment. :) That said, I had to comment on this FUBARed PR. WTF!?

Ricky's dress looks like it's made of pig skin and makes his model look like Miss Piggy when she is a CUTE GIRL. I am starting to believe Kors has a thing for him.

Ricky's and Kevin's dresses should have been floor-length, as a person before me said. It kinda bugs me when people design short dresses for prom--do they not know the meaning of "formal" vs. "semiformal"!? And to add to that, it bugged me that the judges wanted them to please the customer but also kept nagging them for making dresses "too sophisticated." Um, have they ever TALKED to a high-school girl?! Most girls at my prom wore their mothers' dresses and basically looked like country-club prostitutes. None of this age-appropriate stuff. This is why Chris and Sweet P should've definitely been the top 2.

Even though Christian is a little bitch, he didn't deserve to be in the bottom 2, and they were only making an example of him for insulting his model. Who was a total bitch herself.

Poor Sweet P. She wasn't last for once but she definitely got the shaft. Bossy Cow's dress looks like a dress I saw last week on sale for $24 by INC at Macy's. Not that they don't have cute stuff I would wear, but seriously, PR!? The bedazzled one!?!?

The whole episode I felt like I was in that sketch Seth and Amy do on SNL called "OH REALLY!?!?!?!?"

Thanks for a cathartic blog. ^_^ I apologize for using so many "!?"s, but really, the situation called for it.

The bottom two should've been Ricky and Bossy Cow. I was impressed by the dress that Chris made. I wore a black dress to prom--that was MANY years ago--but none of the designers and clients chose black. Is that not in fashion anymore?

I don't watch Project Runway, but when I read your blogs, it's as if I've watched it the entire season.

It's not fair what they did. I mean goodness gracious! Bossy Cow's dress looks like a 5 year olds Vacation Bible School craft gone horribly wrong! (It almost should be illegal). For her highschool model to be smiling while wearing it MUST mean they either put vaseline on her teeth or drugged her ass until high end!

Chris' dress was the best. It was done for PROM.. PROM dresses are long. Homecoming dresses are short. It's how it's been for forever. His highschool model is the only genuine happy face!

It's unfair. Someone should start a strike. I'm kidding.

Great recap again. I disagree on a few of your choices, but I 100% agree that Victorya should NOT have won and Sweet Pea should have and further more I really really disliked Victorya's dress. The neck thing just wasn't working for me. I did really like Chris's and it's a massive blunder that he wasn't in the top two.

Kevin gone? So unfair. I didn't think his was that bad, and not worthy of dead last, thats for damn sure.

Plus, hubby and I were screaming at the tv when the judges kept saying over and over that the dresses were too mature. Yes they're 17 and thats why they want dresses that look more on the slutty side. Apparently it's been way too long since the judges have been 17. Plus, as hubby said, these girls see Hollywood stars on the red carpet all the time, so they naturally want to copy those fashions.

I enjoyed this episode until the runway. It was nice to see Christian getting a bit of his own attitude back to him (though everyone on the show seems to like him, so maybe his charm isn't coming across on tv) and I liked the challenge of having to please privledged girls and their moms (Carmela from The Sopranos kept coming to mind). And seeing the designers when they were 17 was awesome.

Oh, maybe it's just me, but when Jillian's dress came down the runway, I felt like it was screaming "Hi, I have nipples!!". I likes the bottom half a lot, but the bodice was...odd.

Sorry, but you missed one of the best lines from the episode: Ricky said that when he had a girlfriend, he made her a prom dress. Pause. "I guess that should have told me something." Hee hee hee.

So want to read the book you're reading as the title sounds awesome.

I hated Kevin's dress for sure -- no teenager's boobs should look like that; it made her look 40. But clearly, not only should Bossy Cow not have won, to me, that dress was the clear loser. The bedazzling was the clincher. My prom era was the eighties, people, and even in the 80s no one would have shown up with that kind of crap on her dress. Sweet P and Chris should have been the top 2, duh.

Christian's mess, I mean dress, actually had a little potential. The hem in back was higher because his model has back. I know, I've seen many a hem like that in the mirror. It wasn't cut right for her body and he knew it. It's also much too short for her. But if I were at the prom with that girl, I wouldn't be snickering to my gay boyfriends about her. Whereas we'd have been all over Bossy Cow's bedazzled nightmare.

Oh, and Ricky's dress? Looked like the model made it herself in sewing class.

Thank you Jennifer for sharing your rage for all of us.

Ok. Bossy Cow? The jewels...hideous. The bubble hem? Who could that possibly flatter? It looks so...I don't know, 80's! The absolute only thing I liked about the dress was the effect of contrast--the shoes against the dress, bringing out the jewels, but then the jewels were cheap-looking, so it was all lost. I still can't believe she won.

I could go on, but you've said it all...I just hope PR doesn't drive you away with their lame-osity, because I rely on your recaps if I can't actually catch the show in a timely manner!

Great letter, I hope PR reads it!

My top was Chris, then Sweet P, then Kit . . . not Bossy Cow's dress! No way that blue thing would be worn at a PROM! It doesn't even fit well at the top!?! That girl's boobs looked lop-sided all the way down the run way. I like asymmetrical designs . . . not when a design makes a body look asymmetrical!

As far as the Christian drama of the week, I couldn't stop laughing when his client was thanking the judges for taking her side! Why did she make her design process with Christian a fight? She had the opportunity to work with him on the dress! She was the only one we saw fighting with her designer. Does the staff at PR pre-interview the people they let on the show? Do they coach one person out of the group to be as big of a jerk as possible throughout the process? I never find that entertaining.

Here's hoping PR can find its way back with episode 8!!!

First of all, I wonder if we were hanging out if you would be as funny in person as you are by blog :)

Second, even though I hated Christian's dress and he is annoying, weren't you scared he was going to get auf'ed? I hate to say it, but he is the star of the show and I can't wait to hear what will come out of his mouth next.

Also, loved all the old prom pictures!

I know your upset about this episode but did it not cheer you up just a little bit how christian finally got a taste of his own medicine?! i mean that was a girl version of him (if you want to call christian a boy!) I actually thought bossy cow's deserved to win even though the jewels were a bit much they choose her b/c that dress is very now from the color to the volume and it was age appropriate as well. I was actually also surpirsed that you didnt comment/make fun of Chris's Flamboyant drag photos they kept flashing throughout the show! i guess you were just too upset. I am also not happy with kit's dress i always love her designs but this week was just not working for me.

Now, I'm not going to call myself knowledgeable about fashion... but every episode of Project Runway I've been able to at least pick out at least one designer in the bottom two and one in the top two. I picked Sweet P and Chris' as the top two... And I put Ricky and Christian in the bottom two--with Christian walking home to somewhere where fierce is a more acceptable word choice.

Christian's dress made the model look like a black marshmallow. I understand she was difficult, but I thought this was our chance to say goodbye to him! Grr! I thought Kevin's was way more tasteful than Christian's...

And what's with all of the short prom dresses? There were only 2 that were long. And about 4 of them ended before the girl's knees. What's with that? Last time I was at prom (surprisingly not that long ago), I think there might have been two girls with short dresses. Out of 600 girls--personally, I think they're kind of tacky.

And why the hell are they critiquing these dresses in front of their models. Honestly, if I'm going to go to prom in this dress, I don't want somebody telling me that my shape doesn't work in the dress, that I look washed out, etc... I mean, hello. High school is hard enough already. I don't need to be called a marshmallow in front of national television.

And how come every single time you post your blog, I think to myself, "Did we even see Kit's dress on the runway?"

I serously don't understand how Ricky is still on, his dress looks like a potato sack! I swear if Ricky makes it to fashion week, I'll stop watching the show haha! And why does Bossy Cow hate her models to look like thay have boobs? That dress gave the girl no shape at all. I was dissapointed with Rami, it was pretty much the same type of dress he made in the first episode. I really loved Chris's dress though, it was very well made and beautiful!!

I've been really frustrated with PR a lot this season. In general the first few episodes I didn't really see how ANY of them deserved to be on the show. However, this episode restored my faith a bit in regards to their talent, as I reeeeeally liked Chris, Kit, Jillian, and Sweet P's dresses. But definitely not pleased with Bossy Cow as the winner. I absolutely hate the top of the dress.. the neck thing looks like it's choking her, and well.. the part around her boobs makes it look like she has none. Personally, even though I'm not a fan of Ricky's because of the color, I'd still wear it before I'd wear Bossy Cow's.

At the end of this episode I actually SCREAMED at the TV... "Who the hell is Ricky sleeping with?!?!?!" KICK HIM OFF..... he's totally Sanjaya from American Idol. But instead of the insane hair, he has that ridiculous hat. His outfits are always boring, ugly, or poorly made. He's in the bottom every week. And I LOVED KEVIN!!! There goes my final 4 :(

Very good blog, I was just as angry. I did however like when Ricky said, "I actually made my prom's date dress... should have been a clue, right?" I laughed for a while. He really should have been sent home... out with a funny comment, good way to go. Instead he'll probably cry the entire time about a pair of capris next week. Ok I have to go before I get all mad again!

I was seriously pissed off about this.

Kevin should NOT have been auf'd. It's like they take ABSOLUTELY NO past week's outfits into consideration! WTF!?

Ugh. Ricky really should have gone. I appreciate his sentiment for fashion but COME ON. I really wanted Kevin to go to Fashion week! *sob*

Ooohhh one more thing: The reason I think they like Bossy Cow's dress: Heidi Klum wore a dress with a very similar neck to an award's show a little while ago. That's actually the first thing I said when I saw her making that dress. Sooo maybe she enjoys that style!

I love your PR blogs! I do disagree -- Rami's dress *is* age appropriate -- for the high school girls with babies. It comes with it's very own baby sling!

LOVED seeing Chris's portfolio picture. He makes one hot Princess Leia!

Thank goodness someone else noticed that built-in baby sling! WTF?!?

Also agree, I thought Chris was adorable in Beach Blanket Babylon-style drag, bless his little heart. I loved how shocked the mom and daughter were to find out the pictures were all of Chris. :)

I was shocked and amazed that Ricky didn't get auf'd. His dress was so BLAH, and a belt with rhinestones wrapped in tulle? Really? Unfortunately, where I come from, high school girls would love to wear the red hooker dress that Kevin made. Doesn't Nina know that 16 is the new 30? I swear that high school girls act older than they are these days.

I absolutely loved Chris' dress. The color and the style was very unique - and it didn't make the model look like she was 30.

Has anyone else noticed the horrible tattoo of what appears to be an open artery on Christian's right arm? Everytime he's on it's all I can look at. It really grosses me out. I just had to throw that out there.

My Tivo cut off the "auf" but I'm pissed that it was Kevin. Bossy Cow's dress was terrible. Those jewels looked cheap cheap cheap.

Thanks. You are right on with this weeks episode.

I agree with most of what you said, but I loved Rami's dress! The drapey sling-thing is a little bit odd, but I would still totally wear it. However, I don't eat lunch with the Queen of England very often, so I'm not sure where I would wear it...

Also, Christian's model is wearing leopard print heels...WTF?!? Did that getup really need any more patterns added to it?
