I'm not driving you no more Miss Daisy


Take a look at the photos from Lifetime's Rate the Runway page and note the expressions on every single model. That is how I feel about the designs this episode. Much like the Sami people have over a hundred words for snow, I am currently up to 83 words for how boringly tragic these outfits are. Actually, I've really only bothered to think of the words boringly tragic. But if I had the inclination and five minutes, I'm sure I could think of at least 68.

Good for Anya for pulling it together and creating one of the few designs I liked. The other highlight being Viktor's pants and t-shirt. Burt's was fine, though not exactly win-worthy if you ask me. Of course, impediment numero uno for either of the winning designs ending up in my Piperlime cart is my aversion to going bra-less in public. But more power to you youngsters.

Now that we're getting down to the wire, I am at a total loss as to who will be going to Bryant Park. My money is on Viktor and Anya. But the third designer - and fourth fake-out? - is a total mystery to me. I don't disagree with the decision to send Anthony Ryan home, but it could have easily been any one of them. At this point, the remaining designers are completely hit or miss. But if I have to see an entire runway show of Joshua's crazy pants, I am going to need medication.

Coupling up so soon?

Wow, that was fast. First, they yank them out of bed and force them to make clothes out of their underpants, then they have to spin clothes out of dog food and now they're forced into an arranged design marriage? Sewer? I hardly know her! [sorry].

Actually, I was pretty amazed at the top 3. Anthony Ryan and Laura Kathleen are a two-name dream team. I could not see where Danielle and Cecilia were going at first, but the end result was amaze. Did you check out the back of the shirt? Love it. The styling killed them - so much so that I was kind of surprised they made it to the top. More surprising, though, was Becky and Kimberly's ability to pull it together. Becky is definitely the owner of some questionable design judgement but the proportions could not have been better. Seriously, if you are hung up on the one-sided collar, go back and watch their model walk onto the runway for the first time. It works. And if you still can't see why it matters, go back and watch Josh M and Julie's matadorian nightmare. Those legs freak.me.out.

As for the race to the bottom, I can see why Fallene had to go but Bryce had better appreciate his part in that Black Swan bad acid trip mess or he will be shown the door shortly. Oh, and Bert, check the bitter old queen act and welcome yourself to the current decade so we can be friends again.
