PR All-St★rs


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?

    I'm in!

    I 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.

    Cuz 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!
