She was fired from Elle, but my understanding is that she'll still be on the show. She was on the special 2 hour episode earlier this month.

The lack of support for one of the most important shows in the history of television is depressing.

The lack of PR support on this board is upsetting me. This needs to change asap!!!

With that being said, here is my first review of the season:

My favorite and the winner:



I absolutely loved the fun and flirtiness of this dress! The texture treatment makes for a beautiful visual.

My least favorite and the one that got voted off:



When this chick said that she doesn't sketch her designs - she meditates to get the feel of them - I knew that it was going to be bad. The judges definitely voted the right person off this week as this "VMA's 2080" dress was a freaking trainwreck! Then again, Lelo was a guest judge this week. I'm surprised that didn't love the fellow trainwreck!

Good avant garde designs still have a prettiness to them. This was just ugly.

Other designs that I really liked:



I thought that this dress was adorable. I loved the sequined trim work in the back.



I loved the shape and style of this dress, but wasn't crazy about the color choices. A little too muted for my taste.

Bad decisions:



The back of this dress was actually gorgeous and I really loved the royal purple that she used. I have no idea what she was thinking when she designed the front of it! It's absolutely awful!

But the real question of the night is:



Is this a male or a female? You can definitely tell that this person is inspired by androgynous clothing!

I've never watched the show, but I saw them filming a scene on Wednesday on 32nd Street and 6th Avenue. All of the girls were on a sightseeing bus that wasn't moving, and they just repeated the same champagne toast followed by an unenthusiastic cheer.

After about 5 takes, they stopped, and all of the girls smoked cigarettes on the side of the street. I am 6 feet tall and have never felt so short in my life.

I'm guessing that you saw the Models on the Runway spinoff show taping, not Project Runway.

You are probably right. I have no idea what the premise of Project Runway is, but I saw ads with Heidi Klum and based on the title, I assumed it had something to do with fashion models.

Thank God that crazy broad Ari got kicked off, she was horrible.

I can't figure out how to post pics of my faves. TP when I click on Runway Photos it let's me look at the first one (Athea's), but won't let me click to see others


Overall, it seems like there are many talented designers this season. I'm gonna need another week or two to pick my faves

Did you see that they are now auctioning off the designs this year? So after every episode, they're posted on the website and you can bid on them.

i actually just found that!!! i would totally bid, if i were a size 0. these are the ones i liked from episode one



I would buy this tomorrow if I could!!!



I'm not tan enough to pull this one off, but I really liked the design



I actually agreed w/ LL when she said the color was "safe" on this one. I would have liked it much more if he would have taken a little risk w/ the color

I absolutely loved this design as well, but yeah, even using like a midnight blue would've been better than making it basic blank.

So how long you ladies think Mitchell will make it? I say he will go very soon. His maternity outfit actually was a cute concept, but horrible in the execution.

Anyone watching Models of the Runway? That Fatma is a ... well. Hoping she isn't the picked one.

I think Irina will be a strong contender as well as the girl with the short black hair.
