Project Runway Episode 9

Sigh. You know the deal. Chris March is crying over how lame these designs are.

Althea: It's okay. It's kind of lumpy-looking and unflattering. It's almost too drag queen, with the black feather thing going on... it definitely reminds me of one of the outfits someone made for the actual drag queen challenge last season. Actually, the more I look at it, the less I like it. It just looks cheap and ill-fitting.

Carol Hannah: This is really nice, I gotta say. It's the only great entry this week. I heard a lot of "but it's not Christina Aguilera!" and are you kidding me? It totally is. I could very much see her wearing this at the Grammys or something. Even though it's a black dress, it's still interesting, and her work with the feathers is absolutely flawless. That couldn't have been easy.

Christopher: Holy hell, this looks unbelievably cheap. The colors/shades clash, and it just looks really, really cheap. This, I can't see Christina Aguilera in. Maybe when she was younger and in her crazy "Dirty" phase, but even then... the shade of the color on those shorts is just not good with the top. I used to love Christopher, but he's really getting kind of crappy lately.

Gordana: This is pretty bad, too. Actually, it would be good if she cut out the fabric on the bottom and HELLO, MADE THE FIT ON THAT BUSTLINE BETTER JESUS HOW AWFUL. But I can kind of see Christina Aguilera in it during her "Marilyn" phase that she had a while ago... yeah. Basically, though, that bust is so beyond horrible, it's giving me a conniption.

Irina: It's so skanky. It looks like lingerie in every way, and she made it look unbelievably cheap too. Like, it didn't need to have the sparkly things on the boobs, and the slit up the thigh, and the see-through stomach. It makes it look cheap. The coat looks nice, though, but I can't really tell from the photos and don't so much remember from last night. Ugh, what does it say that this is the second-best design of the week of the ones I've gone through so far?

Logan: It's... okay. Again, I can't see Christina Aguilera today wearing some of these outfits, though she might have three or four or five years ago. I like it from the front, because I think the pattern is nice, even if it is too short, but the side isn't great.

Nicholas: This is one of the better dresses he's made so far, actually. Like many of the dresses, it's too short, and he returns to the "skanky white" thing over and over and over and over again, but compared to a lot of the other dresses this week, and a lot of other outfits he's made, it's one of the least offensive. It's well-made, I like the bodice, and I could see a starlet wearing this. If not necessarily Christina Aguilera today, sigh.

Shirin: Shirin, girl, I love you, and you had one of the best portfolios so I don't think you should have gone, but damn, this was a disaster. The bust is really nicely fitted and I like the handling of the straps, but the rest of it is hideous. She's got a huge stomach pooch and the bottom is just a horrendous mess. Christopher should have gone home over her for sure, based on their portfolios, but this is without a doubt the worst outfit this week. Kills me to say that. :(

CAN A GIRL GET SOME COLOR THIS WEEK?! Seriously. A nice deep blue would have been good.
