Wow! The 6th challenge already? Where have the weeks gone? Anyways, this challenge was nothing short of amazing- designing for DRAG QUEENS! I was worried about some of the designers, especially those who had very "sophisticated" tastes. But surprisingly, most of the designers did very well on this challenge. I was impressed! The most successful designers stepped outside of their comfort zone and just had fun with it.
My Favorites:1. Joe 2.Terri 3.Blayne.
Joe was the winner. I really loved his hot-pink jumpsuit, and it suited his queen perfectly.
Terri was also in the top 3. Her outfit was completely outrageous- perfect for a drag queen.
Blayne wasn't in the top or bottom, but his garment was very cool. The bright blue and pink looked great with the black piping. However, when Blayne's model came out on the runway, one of the "wings" was drooping! Other than that, the look was a success.
My Least Favorites:
1.Jerell 2.Keith 3.Daniel
Jerell, Keith and Daniel were all in the bottom 3. No surprise there!
Jerell's garment was just plain weird. The colors did not work on his model- nor did the shape. The odd proportions and length made her body look strange.
I thought Keith's design was a hot mess. Ruffles sewn to a bra- top and metallic panties? Not a good look. I agreed with Michael Kors' reference to a rooster.
I really like Daniel. But his outfit- it wasn't drag at all. The tie- dye fabric did not work on that dress, and the whole look was too bland for a drag queen. Perhaps in a different color and with some flashy touches, the dress could at least have been enough to carry him to the next challenge. However, in the end, Daniel was auf'd. We'll miss you, Daniel!
Check back next week for a recap on the new episode!
But wait.....
There's more!!!
On a juicer note, there was something "interesting" taking place behind the scenes of Project Runway! In fact, a Runway first! A ROMANCE between two designers!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!! If you haven't already heard, the lucky couple is...
Daniel and Wesley!!!
I know what you're thinking- AWWWWWW!!!! They're so absolutely adorable together!
Although there was a small blurb on Bravo TV.com revealing the dating designers, the relationship was all a secret- until the after show!
On Bravo's After the Sew special- (a live video blog that takes place directly after Project Runway ends each week) Daniel Feld- the latest eliminated contestant, was joined by boyfriend Wesley Nault (eliminated in episode 2) and a famous drag queen by the name of "Lady Bunny."
Daniel and Wesley held hands throughout the entire show, and were asked about their new found love. Although they could barely get a word in without being interrupted by "Bunny," you could just feel their love for each other.
Luckily, the host of the show kept them both for another few minutes of vlogging- bunny free.
The couple revealed that they fell in love on June 8th, the first day of PR production. When asked what they liked most about each other, both answered that the other was very considerate of others. Daniel said that he was "lucky to find such a sweetie," and gave Wesley an absolutely adorable kiss on the cheek.
.
Daniel and Wesley, I wish you all the best!
Comments, questions, suggestions? Whatever it is-LEAVE A COMMENT!
If drama is not exactly your thing, consider a toned- down LBD that looks amazingly chic. The gorgeous neckline is flattering on almost everyone. Ahhhhh. So lovely!
If you've got a flair for couture, add some crisp white to you LBD! The white ruffles on this GORGEOUS Marchesa dress scream avant- garde sophistication!
I just might die. This is probably the most perfect LBD I have ever seen. It's avant- garde while still being wearable, and it's modern while still being classic. The details make it truly beautiful and unique. WOW.
