Shan and I ...Ooooooh, gurl, I read you every week.<br /><br />Shan and I back and forth about how he only makes jackets and I only make circle skirts; it was generally in good fun.<br /><br />I treated this show like RuPaul's Drag Race because I feel like PR can get so...politically correct (aka, way too white). But thank you for your compliments this week. I can guarantee, however, that the only Natalia bashing going on, however, were by her own insecurities. I feel bad I didn't pick up on it sooner, but I had myself to worry about.Samuel Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494133678025344376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-42837412475638231062014-03-23T22:42:05.734-04:002014-03-23T22:42:05.734-04:00I meant to say Natalia was "at a" disadv...I meant to say Natalia was "at a" disadvantage. I suspect she may be very talented, but unable to do things under that kind of pressure. <br /><br />I wish that one of these shows would stop the fake time pressure and be more realistic so that we'd see the best designers, not just the best "quick" designers.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-16242967625859560682014-03-23T22:37:27.494-04:002014-03-23T22:37:27.494-04:00On the plus side, I loved Oscar and Shan together....On the plus side, I loved Oscar and Shan together. They both benefited from their association. I liked Blake and Sam's collection, except for the very blousey white top, and to be honest, I was having trouble telling the two of them apart until forced to see them together for most of the episode.<br /><br />I think Asha should have gone home; the dashiki was hideous, the colors of the collection were dissonant, and there was no sense of cohesion. She grabbed all of the responsibility, she chose the fabrics and doled out the assignments, she had no excuse for that collection to have been so awful. Natalia was a real disadvantage, but she should have stood up for herself, this makes me feel that she should have gone home, too. If she can't stand up to another designer, how will she ever make a career?<br /> <br />Mondo and Anya lost my respect last week and this week by not being objective about Michelle, Asha and Natalia; in Mondo's case he was outright cruel. <br /><br />Does anyone else get the impression that Tim Gunn is working too hard? He seems to be on his last nerve, and this week Asha and Natalia got on it.lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-47150379667708495122014-03-22T11:06:12.139-04:002014-03-22T11:06:12.139-04:00I think both Asha and Natalia should have been eli...I think both Asha and Natalia should have been eliminated. Natalia because it's time - she may be talented but she isn't equipped for this competition. In this challenge, it was all on Asha and ultimately she was 85% responsible for their failure. <br /><br />I love that Nick is afraid of Mondo - sums Nick up perfectly.

She might be next to go.<br /><br />Oh, boy. The *real* woman challenge. If the designers were smart they've watched some of the back seasons of PR and read some of the commentary. Us real women can get feisty! <br /><br /><br /><br />the dogs' motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512888563325865616noreply@blogger.com
