Typically my only exposure to Project Runway is if Mom's watching a rerun when I wander in to the room, but Greta Christina reviews each new episode as it comes out, and her review of the most recent episode is well worth reading. Spoilers for that episode, obviously, which I'm glad I haven't seen because I would have been one of the people throwing things at the TV. This is the episode where the models are "real women", that is, not built like fashion models.

I actually kinda like what Ven designed? For instance, if that shirt draped right on me, I would wear the hell out of it (though I admit, the neckline and crossed over look doesn't work as well with the sleeves as, say, a wider vee and a smooth fall of fabric would...); and that skirt is SNAZZY. I really don't like the belt - that is the tipping point, she has the sort of body shape where belt-on-the-hips actually looks better than belt-at-the-waist (and is actually a helluva lot more comfortable; I speak as one who is similarly ridiculously shortwaisted), and it is so big it draws the eye too much. The purse makes me :x but I've never liked huge purses anyway so that may be personal taste speaking. xD (...I don't like the flats either but that's definitely personal taste speaking. :P Not that this whole comment isn't personal taste; I love drapey-sleeved shirts and am plus size. xD)

But, that aside, you can tell she's not thrilled with it, which is definitely a good reason to be unimpressed with his professionalism (and taken hand-in-glove with the fat hate— Bleh).

I don't like Sonjia's dress (my instant reaction was actually "Omg NO D:" which, yeah, so close to working that it missed by a mile, if you take my meaning), or Gunnar's (it combines several things I know look awful on me, and shies really close to looking bad on the model, but I can give him massive kudos for making something she liked!), but I do like Fabio's (while appreciating the fact that that style of top just Does Not Work on me, which is sad because it's geometric in a way I like AND would actually wear, which is high praise).

/two cents from someone as doesn't watch the show lolol
