Oh Uli!

Nope, Uli didn't win, but once I saw her complete collection, I thought she was a shoo-in. Nina and Heidi were right...I'd wear every single thing she walked down that runway. Where can I get those outfits, like, right now? I disagree with Michael Kors, though. I think her collection was very cohesive, the most pulled together of the four finalists. But I don't think future sale potential really dictates the winner of Project Runway anyway, given that some of the "losers" from previous seasons are actually doing all right, whereas the winners are well...whatever. Uli summed it up perfectly: "Number 2 is a good place to be." I'm happy for Jeffrey, but it was real touch-and-go for him with those missing receipts and budget scandal. I think Laura cast suspicions on him purposely since she was probably jealous of how great his designs were compared to her collection (given that Halloween is next week, her designs would sell well, since they were very "costume-y" with all those sequins and feathers). I had seen a picture slideshow of Michael's collection weeks ago, and it was even more disappointing on TV. His outfits looked like rejects from KLS's first Baby Phat collection. Michael's excuse is that he's young and inexperienced. That's no excuse, and since when is 28 considered "young," especially in the fashion industry. I see his rumored girlfriend, Brandy, was there supporting her "man." Good luck to them. I think Michael should link up with an urban contemporary clothing company, like a Baby Phat or work with Puffy to re-imagine the now defunct Sean John women's collection. Overall, Project Runway was the most entertaining reality TV program I've seen in years...probably since season 10, Back to New York, of The Real World. Now, Uli, hurry up and make some clothes and ship them to Saks. I'll be right there waiting, cash in hand. Thanks!

One word for Lost...snooze! It didn't get interesting until the last 30 seconds.

America's Next Top Model was OK. That was one of the most creative photo shoot challenges and I enjoyed watching the girls transform themselves into famous celebrity couples. Anchal's Oprah was better than the real deal and Jaeda's Bobby Brown was masterful (guess her masculine features finally came in handy!). Jaeda, Jaeda, Jaeda...isn't this the third (or fourth) week in a row that she's been in the bottom two? Step ya game up, sista! But I had a thought this morning on my way to work...wasn't Yoanna House also consistently ranked in the bottom two during her cycle and didn't turn it on until towards the end, resulting in her ultimate victory? I was disappointed that Jaeda just gave up on the TV commentary challenge. She could have done something, said something, rather than just standing there looking in booboo the fool. I was prepared for her to go last night. Oh well...we'll see how this all turns out. Stay tuned...
