I don't care if Reanimated Coco Chanel herself with the help of Jesus and a unicorn with opposable thumbs designed Desiree Rogers' gown. It's really... awful. It looks like she raided a child's costume chest and ruined some sheer ill-fitting bedroom curtains. Her outfit reminds me of a waterlogged Zelda Fitzgerald.
The McNeil family's comments are pretty blatant admissions that Catherine was inflicting those cuts on herself. I just hope she gets all the support, love and hope she needs to pull through. My experiences with people I love self-mutilating makes this an issue that's close to my heart.
@Tchotchke: Ditto. However, oddly, I'm kind of glad that she chose to go out in public with the scars on her arms. I regularly cut my shoulders and my breasts, and it's only been very recently that I'm able to face the public world with the evidence still in my skin.
The sooner we stop being ashamed of our disease, the sooner the rest of the world will accept it as such.
This is the first season of PR where I missed episodes and never bothered to watch them later. I did remember that the finale was on that night but I watched King of the Hill instead. I don't even like that show but it doesn't stab me in the heart like bad PR does.
@mllej: I didn't watch any of the finale. I am probably going to watch the first few episodes of the next season, but if it continues in this vein then I'm giving up on the show. I'll find something else to watch Thursday nights, like House reruns or something.
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Same here. I was going to hop over to Gawker's liveblog to at least see who won last night but instead asked someone to PM me on Facebook. Used to be the PRun finale was not to be missed.
I feel like Heidi should have been disqualified from the judges table for wearing that outfit.
The rest of my opinions (bc everyone cares:
Carol Hannah: Should have won. Consistently good, but the judges seemed to dismiss her, and never take notice. Her collection was the most well-made and aesthetically-pleasing, and since none of the collections were ground-breaking or interesting, that counts for a lot.
Irina: I feel like they decided she would win 3 weeks in. Her collection was monotonous, and no one piece stood out. The hats looked really forced with some of the pieces, and I don't know why she needed that extra element of cohesion when each piece looked the same anyway. Also: her urban armor back-story was blah and lacked nuance.
Althea: I've already forgotten her collectio, except that it was very Lindsay Lohan 2008. Totes high fashion.
@Alessar: That would have been honest, dramatic, good TV. This was sad. It was like watching The Hills, where you just think, "really? you want me to believe you mean what you're saying here? 'cause I don't."
Carol Hannah's blue 13th dress was the best thing on that runway. I really wanted her to win for it, even though Irina's collection on whole was better. I just didn't want Irina to win. I don't know if it was because of her personality or because I hated those hats.
Did anyone notice the total bitch face Irina had when the judges were praising the other collections? It was like she was thinking "Are you fucking kidding me? Just give me the prize already so that I can take off these damn boots."
@hfree: I agree with everything you said. Especially Carol Hannah's dress (the look on Irina's face when she said that their 13th designs were amazing was great) and Irina's hats. I wanted to step on them and see if they kept their shape.
@ElleL: After being dinged by Tim once for copyright infringement, the natural response is to fix it by DOING IT AGAIN.
I suppose she could argue fair use, but I don't think she'd win. Not like NY Mag will sue.
It's especially funny given her insistence throughout the last few episodes that Althea was copying her. My favorite being that Althea copied her oh-so-original idea of having her models wear a smoky eye on the runway.
@Maritsa: Exactly. She went on and on and ON about how everyone was stealing her designs and how great she was... yet she lifted those words directly from their list.

I hope she wears those thigh-high boots to the next state dinner.

And your company has his name, so I suggest you take his views into consideration.

I've said it before but: Irina. Please see Jillian Season 4 for the correct way to do armor inspiration w/ hats.

Heidi: "Designers we like bits and pieces of your work but overall it's just not strong enough. I'm sorry, but you are ALL AUT."

This entire season or PR was an epic failure.
