Project Runway Season 4 Finale

So last night was the finale of Season Four on Project Runway. Did you watch? Or are you just waiting for me to tell you what I thought?

First off, you should know that I was really excited to see the collections, I liked what I saw of Rami's collection when Tim visited and I wanted to see where Jillian went, then I wanted to see Christian for the pure laughter of the whole thing. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have a surprise additional item like last season and the season before, when they had to create another item or the collection.

Now, if I was ranking the collections, it would have been 1) Rami, 2) Jillian and 3) Christian. Why? Well, let me tell you....

Rami: I just love his clothes. I loved the whole line, they fit and look good on a woman's body. Now, I did question the long black dress that he showed on the walk-off, the circles over the hips, but when I saw it the second time around I thought, she actually looks like she has hips in that dress. So I can see where it would work. There wasn't a dress I didn't like. Although I have to say that I am disappointed that he cut some items based on Tim's opinions. That Yellow coat and short dress he showed Tim were gone, I think if he had left them he might have been able to win. And where does Michael kors get off on saying that he doesn't like Rami's color choices? All he ever wears is black. I like color and I love that turquoise color that he used. Too bad, I think he was the best!!!

Jillian: Ok, this was probably the second best collection on the runway. I loved the sweaters, the skirts and the jackets weren't bad. There were only three items I think she should have axed, the short gold lame dress, that was just awlful, then the short black dress with the sheer overskirt layer, it was ok, but it just, I don;t know, it didn't work for me. The last one, that black and navy blue corset thing with the plazzo pants, ugh! Plazzo pants are the worst things in the world, either make a real pair of pants or make a skirt, I just hated that whole think, and the pleating on the pants? What was she thinking.

Christian: Are we sure this was Christian's line or was this Chris's costume line? I am sorry, but I felt the whole line was costume pieces, and they go and kick Chris off telling him he is too costume?!?!? What are we doing here? There was nothing I liked about Christian's line, I guess I could say that at least he lost the bird pants, but then he turned them into that end dress, which I hated! I thought no one in their right mind would wear that, and then Victoria Beckham siad she would wear it, and I thought right, no one in their right mind!! I am sorry, but Victoria Beckham is the LAST person I would look to for fashion advice!!

I didn't like Christian from the get-go. I thought he was a spoiled brat that needed a spanking at times and other times he needed his mouth washed out with soap.....then last night when he told his models notto eat before the show! I wanted to smack that silly little smile off his face! He is the reason we have so many eating disorders in fashion! Attitudes like his, and then they rewarded him for it! UGH! This is just so wrong!!!

On to other things.... did catch a glimsp of Jack with Dale (Top Chef runner-up (he should have won!!)), which does a heart good, and a number of former runway vets. You know, I think if you wanted to reward the kid...Daniel from season 2 would have been a much better choice than Christian, at least he had good designs and was modest and humble enough about his talent, unlike the cocky and spoiled Christian.
I'm disappointed, and mad and I said last night I would not watch another season after this, but by the time Top Chef is over, I will probably be back to watching the next season of Project Runway.

Project Runaway, Part One of the Finale

So Project Runway is one of my guilty pleasures. I did not watch Season One, but have seen Seasons Two, Three and now Four. I love it!

Last night was the first part of the season finale, and if you haven't seen it and don't want to know what happens, stop reading right now and move on to another blog, because I am going to talk about last night and my thoughts.

So this year, there was a "walk-off" between two designers, Rami and Chris. They each made full collections for fashion Week, but thy showed three to the judges and then only one actually made it to be judged at Fashion Week. Now if you know anything about this, you know that the final five all actually showed collections at fashion Week, because fashion Week actually occured before the shows were shown, and at the point when Fashion Week occured there were still five contestants, so they all showed to prevent spoilers. You know, I kinda like that, but like it or not, even the two that aren't being judged at Fashion Week, showed and got some exposure, which I am all for.

So we got to see Tim visit all four see where they were at. I loved the pictures of Chirs's collection, although we never got to see many of the actually garments. At Rami's we didn't really see the drawings but the actually garments and I am so looking forward to seeing more of them. At Jillian's we saw alot of the garments and they seemed to be stuck in that awesome jacket line. I mean she worked the one challenge and won with that jacket and she just keeps going back to it on every challenge since (expect the Diva's). Then there is Christian, and all I will say is what was he thinking with those feather pants!

Okay, so I know so many people like Christian, but the kid is 21 and so cocky and self-assured, I just want to spank him (as a mom), I keep thinking if I heard my kids acting that way i would ground them! UGH! What must his poor mother be thinking seeing this! I am sorry, he is good, but he needs to learn a little humality and reserve. Personally, I think he needsto be taken down a peg or two!

I really would have rather seen Jillian, Rami and Chris at Fashion Week, than Christian, but I don't get a vote. So they do the walk off, and I love both collections. Rami actually has a draped dress, which Nina has ragged on him all season about, and that one ended up being her favorite! UGH! Make up your mind! I loved his jacket. Then there was Chris! I loved it!! I loved the first look, and before you complain about human hair as the fringe, they all thought it was goat hair before he told them, it's been done! It looked great! I liked all three of the things he showed, and there is nothing I can find to say bad about them. But, like I said before I don't get to vote, so Chris is out and Rami is in.

I am looking forward to seeing Rami's full collection, kinda looking forward to Jillians, and well, Christian is just Christian, I suffer through him if I have to. Next week if the final, and then the next week......TOP CHEF! Okay, that is another guilty pleasure of mine! I love Top Chef!!! Thought it has been great, although I still think Dale should have beat ung last season, but that is another blog!
