It's on......tonight!
The PR All-St★rs, where thirteen formerly Auf'd designtestants will return to
compete for $150,000, a sewing and embroidery studio, an all-expenses paid
trip around the world to attend fashion weeks in cities such as Paris, London,
Milan and Tokyo, a technology suite/office space from HP and Intel, a
fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and a position with the publication as
Contributing Editor for one year, and the chance to create a collection for
Nine West.
Joining the new host,
supermodel Carolyn Murphy, are designers Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman,
with Joanna Coles returning as mentor.
But really, we just care about
the designtestants, no? And here they are:
Wendy Pepper, Season 1, second
runner-up, and the PRs first villain who was keen on throwing just about anyone
under the bus to move forward, like when she tossed Austin
Scarlett to the wolves to secure a spot at fashion week.
Andrae Gonzalo,
from Season 2, is best known for his emotional outbursts on his
season--and for being the subject of Santino's best Tim Gunn
impression...."Where's Andrae?!"
Kayne Gillaspie, the pageant
queen from Season 3, whose most notable win was, quelle surprise, winning
the "Fit for a Queen" challenge and designing an evening gown for
Tara Conner, Miss USA 2007 to wear at the Miss Universe Pageant.
Uli Herzner, Season 3,
first runner-up, was all about flowy and breezy and Miami. Nina and Kors grew a
tad weary of her constant beach-party-Miami style so she ratcheted it up a notch
for the finale.
Suede from Season 5 was best known for talking about himself in the third-person, and for his wack-a-doo-blue hair.
He was a poser who made a few good things, but mostly I remember his on-camera confessionals.
Other than that, Bob isn't a Suede fan.
Althea Harper is from Season
6, where she was first runner-up, and that's all I got.
I don't remember her.
And I don't think I'll miss her when she's gone.
Emilio Sosa, the Season 7
first runner-up won a record-breaking three consecutive challenges, and more
wins than any other designer in his season, but lost the finale to Seth Aaron.
He was nominated for a Tony Award this year for costumes created for The
Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess."
Peach Carr from Season 8; positive,
fun, and kept calling herself the old lady of the group.
That grew tiresome,
though some of her Peach-isms--like "the good china"--were fun.
Casanova, also
from Season 8 is best remembered for butchering the English language, and
for designing mostly for, as he said, Grandmothers and hookers.
Plus, he was getting fat.
Hey! He said it first!
Ivy Higa, the bitch
from Season 8, was full of herself, and rude to just about everyone else.
While Wendy Pepper was a bitch because she wanted to show at Fashion Week, Ivy was a bitch because that's all she had going for her.
When she left, I cheered.
Anthony Ryan Auld, the
One-Ball-Wonder-Kid from Season 9 was one I thought would make it through. Sadly,
I was wrong. He was one of those rare nice ones....
Laura Kathleen, also
of Season 9 called herself the glam girl, the Barbie girl. Neither one of
those things makes you a winner.
I can't remember too much about her except that she talked a good game, but rarely delivered.
Joshua McKinley, Season
9, first runner-up, was gay, loud, rude, gay, and loud. And rude. And quite the
bitch in a team challenge.
I remember his wacky collection at Fashion Week and his shiny slicked hair.
His clothes? Not so much.
Are YOU in?
You betcha we're in!
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for another sewing needle to break and catch Poison Ivy in the eye again. She was the word that rhymes with runt two seasons ago. So evil and nasty toward Michael Costello for no reason!
R.J. didn't watch PR before Season 7, so R.J. thinks suede is a fabric.
Oh, Bob! And you watch this why?!?
ReplyDelete@ Mitchell
ReplyDeleteCuz every so often i loves me some trashy TV.
And, on an actual serious note, I love watching what creative people create.
But mostly for the trash and snark. I'm THAT shallow!
Joshua always conjured up orange (as in fake tan) and neon (remember the bike shorts. Hell yeah I am in and why can I not remember Althea?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post! I had neglected to set the dvd to record this show. Yeah, unless I tell the dvr to record a show, i never remember to watch it. Stupid calendar lacking brain!
ReplyDeleteOh no! AGAIN with Ivy AND Joshua? NOOOOOO!
I'm in!
ReplyDeleteGo Team Anthony Ryan!
In which episode will Jonathan cry for the first time? ... Place your bets!
