I saw that Kara showed for Fashion Week. I was surprised. And I did think she had the best collection out of them all. She probably did better because some of the pressure was off. Did they do that last season with the 4th finalist? I liked Diana the moment she said she read more science magazines than fashion. Too bad she couldn't pull it off any of her designs. I liked Santino, and I was really annoyed when they said that he wasn't flamboyant enough in his final collection-- after they spent the whole show beating him down. His take on Tim...OMG...that was hilarious. He does him well. Did you read any of that crazy Manolo site? You know, I expected Zulema to make it to the Final Four, but she really fizzled out quick. The "Walk Off" was really EVIL of her! I thought they lost one of the best models as a result of that. Evil Zulema. She doesn't NEED an alter-ego. She is her own evil twin...lol. (her bio says she is, or was a model...as a Jamaican-American, may I say, she needed to do something with her hair??? Braid it up, pull it back...anything!!-- hope I'm not being too rude. :-)

My 26 year old daughter just loves the show and we watch it together. I was in New York City in early December and stopped into MOOD - the fabric store where the designers purchase their fabrics. I bought her one of the MOOD shopping bags for Christmas. She was thrilled. And a little Mood tape measure. You can also order them online but then you have to pay for shipping.

Thanks for the heads up on the Reunion Show!

Glad you posted about it...I'd forgotten it was starting this month. Although I didn't really like the vacuum cleaner bag dress, the designer really did pull out all the stops in choosing and manipulating odd things such as dyes and bleach, push pins and spiral bindings. Who'da thunk? I thought the blue plastic cup dress was adorable. There's quite a controversy since PR is moving to Lifetime TV this fall. Evidently quite a fight between the networks. Already I can't stand the pseudo-surfer tanned guy with a scary smile who has appropriated the word "delicious", akin to Christian's use of "fierce" last year, which was certainly original, but a repeat this year with a different word isn't very original at all.
