The designers had to design an ice-skating dress for the divine and fiery Miss Sasha Cohen. I LOVE that chick. I love ice skating. I know, I know … it’s not a sport … the judging sucks … but I LOVE IT. I also watched Skating with Celebrities tonight and actually CRIED A TEAR when I watched Todd Bridges skating. I CRIED A TEAR. I was PROUD OF TODD BRIDGES. I was proud enough to SHED A TEAR. Wow. I knew I was a geek, but I didn’t know I was THAT much of a geek.<\/p>\n
This was a huge challenge for the designers. Many of them had never even ice skated before. Zulema had skated once or twice … but I thought her dress was gorgeous – and very Sasha-esque. Sasha is sassy – but also like a swan. Her dress reflected that.<\/p>\n
— Santino’s dress BLEW. What? You make a skater look fat in her dress? You make her look like she has a fat ass? Are you out of your mind?<\/p>\n
— Heidi Klum continues to entice me with her pregnant belly, her adorable outfits, and her changeable look: sometimes red lipstick, sometimes nude … she always looks fabulous and … I adore her in an almost inappropriate way.<\/p>\n
— I felt a mixture of feelings watching Emmet at the end. His dress was a disaster … but he’s a menswear designer. This is not his bag. But something about his posture … wearing that pink flouncy top (they all dressed up like ice skaters) … and his soft open face … I don’t know. I like him personally. He came back, after losing, and said to the rest of the designers, as they all hugged him, “Best of luck to all of you …” I don’t know. The guy’s got class.<\/p>\n
— Sasha Cohen is a cutie-pie. I loved watching her take notes during the runway show.<\/p>\n
— Andre (or whatever) is such a drama queen, but I loved how butch he got when he fixed the special sewing machine.<\/p>\n
— I was actually strangely charmed by Santino during this particular challenge. I forgive him his grease-ball ambience. He seemed kind of humorous, and self-deprecating and more part of the team.<\/p>\n
— Tim Gunn on skates, wearing trim little blue jeans, is an image that will get me through many a dark hour.<\/p>\n
— Nick is awesome. I truly wish that we were friends. “It was like international male gone g-g-g-GAY.”<\/p>\n
— I loved how Kara was kind of insecurely looking for validation and Nick said to her, “Uh huh, right … right … but just trust your instincts.”<\/p>\n
— These people are all so creative. If you set me loose in a bead store … I mean, I GUESS I would figure out what I wanted … but … I have no idea what I would buy. These people have pictures in their minds, and they surge forward trying to make that picture a reality. The show is fascinating because of that creative process.<\/p>\n
— Chloe’s dress was okay. Sasha liked it – but I wasn’t all that wacky about it. It seemed like Sasha would get lost in it – but that sky-blue color would look beautiful on her.<\/p>\n
— I LOVED LOVED LOVED when Tim Gunn turned to Sasha and said, “What is important for you … in terms of your costumes?” And she started talking about what the costumes needed to have. I don’t know, I just loved that … the professional respect Gunn gave her, and also – her knowledge about what she needed. Very cool.<\/p>\n
— I loved Daniel’s dress – I think that guy is really talented. Here’s the deal: He’s not a wild crazy greaseball genius like Santino – but here’s what I see: He took on THE PROJECT AT HAND. He didn’t try to prove how brilliant he was. He actually seemed to think about Sasha Cohen. I could see her in that dress.<\/p>\n
— Seeing how nervous Zulema was on her skates … she’s not a skater, or an ice skating fan … so then her face when Sasha said, “I will be wearing your dress in my next exhibition …” Zulema’s expression was unforgettable. Like … she truly couldn’t believe it. She went kind of blank and said, “Really?” I got a little choked up.<\/p>\n
— I am such a fucking geek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
