Jackie O's Camel Toe

So last night was our weekly fashion update with Project Run Way. This week's challenge was to create a modern American Sportswear look inspired by something Jackie Kennedy would wear now. I was super excited about this challenge as Jackie O was a true fashion icon. But, I guess my idea of sportswear and the fashion idea are a bit different. Nonetheless, it was a good episode.

With 9 designers left, it's still a lot of fashion and all most too much to keep up with until the run way. But, Bobby and I have our favorites and really he just comments on the designers themselves and not what they are creating. He doesn't like Ivy's voice or how Mondo dresses or Andy and his Mohawk. But, he likes Michael D because he says what he thinks on the camera after and then to people's faces he's really nice. Which I find to be hilarious, specially when he and Gretchen are together. (too bad his favorite left us last night)

Side note - Mondo was wearing a cumber bun and short shorts last night with lots of eye makeup. Bobby couldn't get past that the entire show. We even paused it to make sure thats what he had on and yes, it was. Its a bit much for me, but he is a gay man in fashion! His promo picture actually has him wearing the same shorts. Only mondo could pull off hotpants and eyeliner. Only Mondo.
See below:

Can we talk about Andy? He's a bit snotty, self involved and a little divaish. However, anyone that can get Tim Gunn to say, "Jackie Kennedy would not have a camel toe" gets into the Hall of Fame. But it was true, he made "MC Hammer" pants. He really seems to think he designs better than anyone on the show and I'm just not seeing it.

Top 3... Ivy, Mondo, and Christopher made the top three. Christopher was dismissed for that road kill shrug...Ivy almost won, Michael Kors wanted her to win, so he could sell that outfit to 50 year old socialites, but she was sent away..leaving precious Mondo crowned Princess of Sportswear.
Bottom 3...
Valerie, Michael D., and Andy's Hammer time pants. Andy should have TOTALLY been sent to the guillotine of fashion for that abomination. Seriously. But they still see a "designer" in him I guess, so he gets to live. Unfortunately, as we all knew, Michael D. was sent to the dungeon. That outfit really was bad. But hey, he stood by it and took the loss like a man.


I can't wait to see what else they come up with. This season doesn't have a clear leader like the last season, but I think I like it better that way because things are unpredictable.

Have a great weekend!
