glass of wine in hand? check.
blankets wrapped around me snugly to keep warm because our house traps in the cold, so it is fucking freezing in our abode? check.
now let's get this party started.
*spoilers!
last episode ended with a "to be continued"... what could it be?
Heidi brings out the button bag! things are about to change. in a good way. the producers are going to shake things up. yay! instead of having two big groups the designers will be in groups of two. i like the idea of switching things up. i really think the big groups should've been reorganized a lot sooner than they did, but oh well.
so the twosomes are as follows:Daniel & Samantha
Richard & Stanley
Patricia & Layana
Matthew & Michelle
Kate & Tu
Amanda & Benjamin
i liked that they got to pick their partner, so there should be very little drama. the challenge is a super-fun one: to design one runway look and one stage look for Miranda Lambert. i like how every designer was super stoked to design for a country star. there is no fucking way that they all love Miranda. come on, i call bullshit. but i understand that they have to sell themselves because being a designer is being in the service industry and being in the service industry means you have to like everyone. right?
but back to the designers. everyone fell into a role, very natural. no fighting, no drama, everyone worked well in their twosome. we are off to a good start.
this challenge should've been called the leather challenge. my goodness. why is it that when you say musician everyone thinks leather? oh boy. there were a few little moments that i loved. like when Tim used the term "stink pot." loved it. and how could you not love Richard? when he described his look, "it's rock goddess. it's everything." i wanted to die because it was everything Richard. but Tu's design and idea was way out there. i was worried. he was channeling Lady Gaga, and i think Miranda isn't Gaga at all.
this episode was where we saw Matthew just give up. it's sad, i was hoping for big things from him. he was the one i liked from the beginning. he just couldn't handle the pressure. it's hard to say, but i think he was having a problem from the very beginning. oh Matthew.
let's talk about the designs:
Amanda - i loved her dress. the fringe was tasteful, the necklace was perfect for the dress. she pulled herself together in this challenge. her dress was my favorite.
Benjamin - the dress was beautiful and simple. the color was great and the butt bustle thing was awesome. he pulled himself together during this challenge too.
Tu - i was really surprised with his design. during the work period i thought i wouldn't like it at all, that it would be too wacky and too Lady Gaga, but when it came down the runway it was great. i really liked it.
Kate - it was a nice dress, but i didn't like the color.
Samantha - i really liked her design, but the runway look was okay. the jacket/vest was nice, but the skirt was just so so.
Daniel - i too liked his design, but the runway look again was just okay. i hated the skirt. it was just trashy. the fringe and the seam were tacky.
Matthew - his look was just simple. he really gave up on this design. the top was cute, but he phoned in the bottom. he is lacking confidence. poor kid.
Michelle - i hated the denim skirt with train. ick. and the fringe necklace. ick. i liked that Nina questioned her taste. it was a tasteless look.
Patricia - her textile choice was gross. the whole look was gross. i just didn't like it.
Layana - it was a simple dress. not much going on. i didn't like the belt at all.
Richard - during the design and work period, i really thought the dress was trashy. especially since there was no lining. what was he thinking? but putting the lining in and seeing it come down the runway, the dress was great. and he has the best attitude. i really want him to wear that cut off Mood shirt. he just needs to stud it.
Stanley - it was a nice dress. i didn't like the skirt, too big at the hips/waist.
the high scorers: Richard, Stanley, Amanda and Benjamin. i really thought Amanda should win, but they gave it to Richard. i don't mind. i love me some Richard.
the low scorers: Daniel, Samantha, Matthew and Michelle. i really thought the judges needed to back off Daniel, he has been kicking butt up until now. and Michelle needs to watch herself. i did love Miranda's pep talk to Matthew because the poor kid just gave up. so sad. but he did need to go. it was Matthew's time.
another good episode. now the judges need to keep an eye on Patricia. i really think she has just been really lucky up until now. we'll see. xoxo.
