I loved Uli’s dress. I should have said in the judges’ eyes, it didn’t come up to their standards. I thought it was just lovely. My favorites for the top three are Michael, Uli and Laura.
And how boring was Vincent’s design this week? He just has to go next week.

Susan, I think you’re too harsh about Uli’s dress this time. I was
slow to warm to her, but now that I’m looking for her brilliant print
work, I think she’s definitely in my top 3 (with Laura and Michael).
It was a gorgeous creation — and perfect for a party in Miami. You
could imagine Lindsay Lohan or Jeri Hall or Heidi Klum wearing it.
Plus, the idea that jet-setters go only to Paris or New York? Nah. I
think of them as heading to St. Tropez or Maui or Bali or (yes,
Michael Kors) L.A. And that dress would have worked in any of those
places.

Like Chad, I shed no tears about the loss of Angela. In fact, I’ve got
no love for Jeffrey (and his riDONculous tattoos), but last week I was
on the edge of my couch hoping he wouldn’t go home because of Angela’s
awful mother.

I can’t believe that Angela outlasted sweet, charming Allison and my
early favorite, that spunky Katherine.

Also, I can’t believe you don’t love Laura, who is fascinating to
watch — that red lipstick and all those angles and the dry,
fantabulous things she says (”Having six children isn’t that different
from having four or five. You just throw one more on the pile.”)

Finally, I wish that Tim Gunn would occasionally pop up in my life.

I’m so happy Angela is finally history. What took so long?
Some interesting tidbits from Tim Gunn’s always-amusing post-show podcast: when we saw Tim and the designers in the lovely first-class cabin on their plane, that was a prop plane. You can’t have a film crew on planes anymore, so they had to fake that part. The actual plane was apparently not nearly as nice as the “fake” one (it was a real plane but not flying anywhere) and didn’t offer our beleaguered designers mojitos.
Also, Tim says he’s going to award a “jumble jamboree” award each week. He gave it to Kayne during the recycling challenge and this week he bestowed it upon the dearly departed Angela.
Keep up the great posts, Sue!
