Project Runway All Stars Season 4 - Episode 7: Mix and Match.com
Yes, I’m relaxing during the holidays and that’s why I disappeared for some - a lot of - days but now that I’ve lounged about for weeks I’m ready to take over my life as a fashion blogger again. And we still have to catch up on the last episode of Project Runway All Stars.
This time the producers of the show started a collaboration with the meeting website Match.com to spice up our life a little bit. It seems love is a big part of this season as the designers already had to get inspired by their past relationships for one of the other challenges. Anyway, this time designers were grouped into couples - but they didn’t really have to work together - to design…for couples! Well, it would be better to say for prospective couples, as their clients, apart from being normal people and not models, were Match.com users going on their first date - aaaaw, how lovely! This also meant some of them were MEN. Michelle freaked out, I thought she was going to pass out as she decided with Samantha - her partner for this challenge - that she was going to design for man - well, it seemed to me it was actually Samantha who decided for both of them. Thank god she did good, but let’s now talk about the BEST and the WORST of the challenge.
Fabio was my favourite - and he won indeed. He was designing together with Jay for a gay couple - and both of the guys were hot in my opinion :D - and the two designers had a great idea, the best in my opinion: when talking with their clients to know what they like and what they would want to wear, they decided to dress each one of them according to the other person’s taste. No one else did it, and it was a really smart thinking as they were not dressing people just to go to a cocktail party, but they were dressing people to go ON A DATE. Another thing I loved about Fabio’s look was that he went for not very bright colours, which is usually the common thing to do for menswear, but at the same time there was a sort of cheerfulness to the shades he chose; it was not dull and boring. I was absolutely crazy for the fact he turned a shirt into a kind of short-sleeved jacket, it was very well-done and the idea of a designer actually inventing new clothes during the show is the best thing that can happen. Those trousers, then, were perfect. And the guy was really sexy.
I don’t know if Justin is too lucky or the judges are too biased by the fact - I’m sorry to write such a thing - he’s deaf. He definitely deserved to go. What he made was basically NOTHING, just like the week before, when he had silk and gallery opening from the fashion gamble and he designed a basic dress. The only thing was right about his Match.com look was that both the shirt and the trousers were really well-done, but the show is not called PROJECT SEAMSTRESS. You have to design. And this was nothing. Not even the details were interesting, it was just a shirt - moreover, in grey - with a pair of trousers.
I was really mad at the judges choosing not to send anyone home, because it was clear there was more than one person deserving to go home during this challenge. Helen wasn’t better than Justin, she sent her client down the runway wearing those really short shorts, making her look like a slut, but a Victorian slut, as the top had a kind of old-fashioned feeling with all those ruffles. And the fabric she chose for the shirt was amazingly awful, all shiny and wrinkly, it really looked cheap. I still think Justin was worse as he didn’t do anything though. And Samantha was definitely joining them in the worst look parade, but at least she had something interesting going on which could be better with a little bit of effort.
They started well, but they are now becoming boring, and this episode was the chance for the judges to cut off on the number of designers, but they decided to save them. Justin and Helen are really, really lucky: Justin had Tim Gunn’s save during his season and Helen was saved by the judges in her season when she made an awful-fitting evening gown during the second or third challenge and she cried for the entire episode; I guess they saved her for pity.
Next episode will air on January 8th, so we’re going to have plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the holidays and welcoming the new year in a very fashionable way :)

The TYRANT: the bullying despot, he wants power at any price. He ruthlessly conquers all he surveys, crushing his enemies beneath his feet. People are but pawns to him, and he holds all the power pieces. Hesitate before getting in this man’s way – he’ll think nothing of destroying you.
The BASTARD: the dispossessed son, he burns with resentment. He can’t have what he wants, so he lashes out to hurt those around him. His deeds are often for effect – he wants to provoke action in others. He proudly announces his rebellious dealings. Don’t be fooled by his boyish demeanor – he’s a bundle of hate.
The DEVIL: the charming fiend, he gives people what he thinks they deserve. Charisma allows him to lure his victims to their own destruction. His ability to discover the moral weaknesses in others serves him well. Close your ears to his cajolery – he’ll tempt you to disaster.
The TRAITOR: the double agent, he betrays those who trust him most. No one suspects the evil that lurks in his heart. Despite supportive smiles and sympathetic ears, he plots the destruction of his friends. Never turn your back on him — he means you harm.
The OUTCAST: the lonely outsider, he wants desperately to belong. Tortured and unforgiving, he has been set off from others, and usually for good cause. He craves redemption, but is willing to gain it by sacrificing others. Waste no sympathy on him - he’ll have none for you.
The EVIL GENIUS: the malevolent mastermind, he loves to show off his superior intelligence. Intellectual inferiors are contemptible to him and that includes just about everyone. Elaborate puzzles and experiments are his trademark. Don’t let him pull your strings – the game is always rigged in his favor.
The SADIST: the savage predator, he enjoys cruelty for its own sake. Violence and psychological brutality are games to this man; and he plays those games with daring and skill. Run, don’t walk, away from this man – he’ll tear out your heart, and laugh while doing it.
The TERRORIST: the dark knight, he serves a warped code of honor. Self-righteous, he believes in his own virtue, and judges all around him by a strict set of laws. The end will always justify his nefarious means, and no conventional morality will give him pause. Don’t try to appeal to his sense of justice – his does not resemble yours.
The BITCH: the abusive autocrat, she lies, cheats, and steals her way to the top. Her climb to success has left many a heel mark on the backs of others. She doesn’t care about the peons around her – only the achievement of her dreams matters. Forget expecting a helping hand from her – she doesn’t help anyone but herself.
The BLACK WIDOW: the beguiling siren, she lures victims into her web. She goes after anyone who has something she wants, and she wants a lot. But she does her best to make the victim want to be deceived. An expert at seduction of every variety, she uses her charms to get her way. Don’t be fooled by her claims of love – it’s all a lie.
The BACKSTABBER: the two-faced friend, she delights in duping the unsuspecting. Her sympathetic smiles enable her to learn her victims’ secrets, which she then uses to feather her nest. Her seemingly helpful advice is just the thing to hinder. Put no faith in her – she’ll betray you every time.
The LUNATIC: the unbalanced madwoman, she draws others into her crazy environment. The drum to which she marches misses many a beat, but to her, it is the rest of the world that is out of step. Don’t even try to understand her logic – she is unfathomable.
The PARASITE: the poisonous vine, she collaborates for her own comfort. She goes along with any atrocity, so long as her own security is assured. She sees herself as a victim who had no choice, and blames others for her crimes. Expect no mercy from her – she won’t lift a finger to save anyone but herself.
The SCHEMER: the lethal plotter, she devises the ruin of others. Like a cat with a mouse, she plays with lives. Elaborate plans, intricate schemes; nothing pleases her more than to trap the unwary. Watch out for her complex designs – she means you no good.
The FANATIC: the uncompromising extremist, she does wrong in the name of good. She justifies hers action by her intent, and merely shrugs her shoulders at collateral damage. Anyone not an ally is an enemy, and therefore, fair game. Give up any hope of showing her the error of her ways – she firmly believes you are wrong, wrong, wrong.
The MATRIARCH: the motherly oppressor, she smothers her loved ones. She knows what’s best and will do all in her power to controls the lives of those who surround her – all for their own good. A classic enabler, she sees no fault with her darlings, unless they don’t follow her dictates. Don’t be lured into her family nest – you’ll never get out alive.
Ah, yes. I’ve been hoping to discover something like this.
When you’re outlining a novel in which nearly every major character is a villain who views herself as having been maligned by forces beyond her control, identifying and exploiting points of difference in motivation (and the consequences thereof) become increasingly important.
Inspired by that doodle I did while babysitting the other day, I decided to buy myself a fresh pack of #crayola markers. I’ve been sick with the flu but also bored out of my skull, so I decided to experiment with them tonight. This was made mostly with a mixture of Crayola markers and #Posca paint pens, but also #carandache #aquacolors and ink pen and milky pen and a teensy bit of #holbeinacrylagouache . You can tell I have autumn on my mind!
