"You don't have to get an MFA at Parsons, but if Christopher had gone to design school, he would probably be a working fashion designer right now, not some kid with a bad beard who cries alot and still lives in Minnesota."
praise jesus hallelujah. or, just move to NYC, get residency, then go to FIT - cheaper and doesn't get the same visibility, but the fashion education is decent or so I hear. why are these people trying to push the envelope in a town which doesn't even get the mail? #projectrunway
Finally saw this piece of dismalarkey. Put it off because i had better things to do, like staring at a wall. Fine recap, and I agree: I'm sick of self-taught designers simultaneously bragging and fishing for pity.
That said, it can be quite hard to go to fash school. The Parsons students I knew were worked to the bone, did not sleep for 3 years. I'm not exaggerating, the PR contestants have it easier. Horror stories abounded of students slaving over a garment, only to have Donna Karan physically rip it apart because of a single errant stitch. True story. It's a brutally rigorous program, and costs a fortune. #projectrunway
@Baroness: betch, I was there too and you know damn well they got no sleep because they were busy re-dying their clothes black or going to slimelight. don't front for them !!! LOL
I missed the whole show because Virginia Beach has been overtaken by a bitchy nor'easter courtesy of Ida and we had no power till tonight. I see that we had more drama here, with water pouring down our chimney, coming under our garage door, and overflowing our pool than this show.
Also, Tim held the champagne glass that way because the the proper way to hold a wine/champagne glass is always by the stem, never the bowl. And of course Tim would know that! #projectrunway
Tim in that retro apron ( of course he would choose one Betty Draper would wear. Even though we hate her. gah.) made the show for me. I just want to bring him home and have him make grits and cornbread with me, while he criticizes super sweetly my fashion choices, and says how darling my house is. Gunny, the bringer of peace and light. #projectrunway
@MisterHippity: My apologies Hippity.....I usually read your live blog first thing in the am but work has me snowed under and I was unable to get to it just yet. I should have known you had it covered, though :) #projectrunway
I came home for Thanksgiving my freshman year and my room was remodeled to look like it belonged in a bed and breakfast. I never recovered. #projectrunway
I really had difficulty remembering if I watched the show last night. The closer we get to Bryant Park, the more bored I am.
Of the parts I remember: Carol Hannah's dress reminded of that maxi dress fad that occurred last spring, I think I saw that particular dress at Old Navy.
Michael Kors WAS unusually pale. His eyebrows were creeping me out.
Lifetime needs to stop beginning the episodes with the generic "oh, we've been whittled down to the best, most talented designers. We've all got to step up" because it's not fucking happening. #projectrunway
Carol Hanna's FUCKING MAXI DRESS THAT THEY SELL AT TARGET was inspired by Palm Beach. Althea had San Tropez and made the one vaguely interesting garment of the night. #projectrunway

Just look at the other seasons and notice the world of difference in talent. This season was such a nightmare and I'm glad it's over.
