OMG, weaver. I just Googled Jennifer Meyer's jewelry. It looks like something a middle school girl would design.
I agree, and did she look fashionable? Not a bit. Daddy's money has taken her a long way.

There is someone like that in the perfume industry, Jerry Bruckheimer's stepdaughter. She has a line called Strange Invisible Perfumes. They are dreadful, and very pricey. None of the perfume collectors I know would ever buy them, but I guess somebody does because she's been selling them for about 5 years. Barney's carried them as well. Maybe Daddy gives someone a job if they buy a bottle.

Did anyone watch last night's? Is it worth it? My DVR didn't pick it up, and I wonder if I should bother looking for it.

The Lifetime website is weird now, you have to put your provider in before you get to see a show, and my provider (Time Warner) isn't there.

Just looked, that is only on my tablet, on the PC its fine, I'll give it a whirl.

Didn't watch weaver. I am just not into this All Stars. I tried, but just didn't do it for me. That saddens me because Project Runway used to be must see TV for me.

I watched. I enjoyed it ... although I like Jeffrey and once again he was not stellar. Yeah, it was an interesting challenge and lots of pretty things were made. Interesting guest judges -- not sure what they had to do with clothing fashion, but okay ... Watch it, if you can, Weaver, because otherwise when something amazing happens, you'd be too far back to care! ;)

And I need a cohort or two this season's viewing.

I got through half of it, and the commercials are killing me. On line there is no way to get past them. Think I may finish it next week on the repeat.

I don't have the names straight yet, but so far, I like the flapper dress and the "Alexander McQueen" dress. I don't like Korto's green print thing, or the blonde's suede fuschia thing. The others are not clear in my mind.

I don't like Korto, full stop. She's way too full of herself -- though I guess they all are, so maybe I just don't like her stuff. I don't like Michael Knight's stuff either, but I like him so I hope he stays in it for a while. I like Christopher, but I didn't care for his "flapper" dress.

I'm here too.

I liked the flapper dress and thought it looked expensive.

Nate B was surprisingly in the know about fashion, BUT seemed like a dick.

Korto - I remember liking her, but not so much - and she appears to have gained a bit of weight.

I'm sticking with it for no other reason then to see Gabby Sidibe judge. I mean these folks freak out at the idea of a size 10....can't wait t see them bow and scrape to her when in reality they think women her size are the scum beneath their feet. But true talk....girlfriend needs weight watchers. She is not attractive and her face is so fat it's like it's devouring her features.

Well I finished, and I didn't disagree with the judges. I preferred the flapper dress, but I liked Victor's too. I guess Victor has the eccentric gay casting this time.

Korto looks so dreadful. She was wearing a shapeless top with a belt in the most unflattering place for her body type. Why should I go to a designer who can't dress herself? If I saw her on the street, I'd never say "designer." Now the one that lost always looked put together. That fuschia thing she designed was awful though, the fabric looked so stiff and uncomfortable. And it DIDN"T fit, I don't care what she says now.

I swear if I had a 70's Vogue around I'd find an Andre Courreges dress that Elena copied her look from. There is nothing new under the sun anymore. She does tailor impeccably though.

I don't even remember Mychael's look. I know people have the right to spell their names anyway they want, but come on. What do you achieve by putting a y in the name, except to annoy everyone.

Nate looked different, was it Botox or what? Always liked him on Oprah.

Is the next contest to design for Gabby? OMG.

I'm watching, too. I loved the flapper dress and agree it looked expensive. Glad they auf'd Melissa? I think that's her name. She made pretty much the same thing over and over again. Giant, weird collar - check. Asymmetric hemline - check. Wrong fabric for design - check. Elena is doing the same thing. Different variations of the same thing.

And, I obviously know nothing about fashion. I think the stuff Alyssa Milano has worn so far looks like shit on her. I'm happy to snark on it while I sit in my jeans, some variation of a t-shirt and a fleece if it's cold :P

Oy vey, Jeffrey is like a roach that won't die. Although I find him much more likeable this season, his Psychedelic Heidi dress was awful.

Has Korto always been this crabby-bitter? Yes, the Mary Kay cosmeticians are trying to sabotage you.

Loved Gabby. Would like to see her on this show more often. Seems like such a funny/cool person.

I seriously was ready for Jeffrey to go - and I'm a fan! Though I thought Mychael's dress was much worse -- just hideous. I'm not sure Korto belonged on the bottom. Maybe they're using her as a stealth deploy, ready to win it and shock us all.

Irina is such a bitch and she's been spared in the middle so we haven't seen her. I wanted Elena to win. I thought she should have said something out loud about Victor stealing her idea. I mean, not giving her credit. He must be pissed, watching from home.

Christopher ... was playing the sympathy card. I was thrilled when Isaac caught that. I do not think his dress was the best, at all. I actually thought Irina's was, and I don't like her, LOL

I was overall disappointed in everyone, though. Some stupid choices, but it all starts with 4 minutes to choose and one day to make it -- it's like they're sabotaging them before they get going. Even "all-stars" need time to shop and plan. Is this supposed to mimic something they'll encounter in real life in the industry? Because what?

I used to watch this all the time, but it switched channels and I don't even know where it is or when it airs anymore. I don't care to see Jeffrey again anyway. I can't even find it when I do a search, did the name stay the same? Project Runway?

I've liked so few of the "designers" over the years though, or their clothes. The only one who stands out to me is Uli or something, with the beautiful fabrics and dresses, even if they were "too Florida" or whatever they said. I thought they made all of the women look wonderful, and would for many different shapes/ages/sizes of women. The clothes that could only possibly look good on bony, anorexic, 20 year old, above 5'10" models just don't interest me at all. I did like many of the challenges though!

Its called Project Runway All Stars, but really not worth watching.

I'm sick of these challenges; frankly I don't think Calvin Klein could do a design of this type. He'd revert to his classic, somewhat austere look and the judges would say "Calvin, you aren't stretching yourself." And Oscar de la Renta would do a very feminine shape and print, and they'd say "Oscar, you are a bit old."

I've been reading fashion mags since I was a little kid; you'd think I was fashionable, but I'm really not, I stick to the classic styles. But I remember so looking forward to getting Vogue every month and almost gasping at the new designs, because there really were new designs and concepts back in the day. Now it almost seems to me that everything has been done, what is different is the new materials. So let these designers work with the best new materials, not grade school detritus.

Korto comes off as a bitch, but is that an edit, who knows? She has a deep monotone voice, that is annoying to me.

I'm sick of the sob stories, I was bullied, I was deaf, I was an immigrant, I was gay. Shut up and design.
