Day of Runway Show
On runway day the designers are extra-hilarious in their panic to finish sewing and styling. The two best lines of the show -- hell, the season:
• Anthony: "Kenley is loud! If a black person says you are too loud? You are too loud!" (How about Project Runway: Just Anthony All the Time? I'd watch that all day long.) • Michael, giving styling directions: "Very Sarah Jessica Parker 1999-meets-2002...but futuristic! [Stylist nods in solemn agreement.]
Top Three
Rami: All of the judges like the look, and compliment his vision; they can see who the woman is who would wear the outfit. His shorts impress Isaac, who points out how difficult constructing a pair of women's shorts really is.
Mondo: Angela says she would die for the outfit, and Mondo's intricate jacket. Isaac likes the "in-control girl" who would wear these clothes.
Austin: There are a few quibbles about editing -- always a problem for embellishment-happy Austin -- but the edgy look he created is a hit with the judges.
Bottom Three
Michael: His short-shorts don't impress. Angela thought it was a swimsuit, while Isaac hates the saggy, strapless top.
Jerell: Isaac calls it a Lion King costume. Sean Avery calls it Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani at Burning Man on acid. A few judges like individual pieces, but the overall look is deemed too busy and definitively unsexy.
Anthony: Everyone loves the look; Sean Avery says he would double back to check that woman out. The judges don't think he used 50 percent of his off-their-back fabrics, which is why he is in the bottom.
Winner: Mondo
Out: Anthony, who tells Michael to stop crying because he (Anthony) is smiling and has cute shoes! This show just got 60 percent less entertaining, which is not a percentage they could afford to lose.
