Angie in the sky with fleurchons
The worst thing about Angela's elimination? No more nightgown.
Anguish!
Christ, can these people do anything right?
I wonder what the exact measurement is on how far you have to have your head up your ass to think that Holly Hobbie is hip. Angela grew on me and all, but seriously, after that I had no problem seeing her go.
As for the back of the shorts...
...Michael described it best with but two clucks of his tongue.
Kayne's was just as ridiculous for so many reasons...
...the foremost being that the back was totally sci-fi...
I expected some sort of alien or Gremlin to tear out of it and attach itself to a sewing machine. And seriously, the inherently dicky Jeffrey seemed restrained when he compared it to Liberace.
Michael really did look good...
...though the seemingly useless strings sprouting from his pants were waaaay reminiscent of 90's rave-wear (like UFOs or something)...
Does a field in the Midwest qualify as one of Michael's preferred "slightly breezy" destinations?
Meanwhile, Laura continues to be the most underrated designer in ProjRun history...
I loved how well she cleaned up, too...not that it was unpredictable.
And as for Jeffrey...
For now, let's chuckle at the pose he struck before entering the runway. He thinks he's cool, guys.
I'm putting Jeffrey on hold because I'm simply bursting to talk about...
1.
"I thought it might be Tara Reid, because she's the only jet setter that I can think of that was hip. She had that show Taradise and she always took off her tops and showed her boobies." This is what he said after Heidi announced that they'd be designing for a hip, international jet setter. Again, I want a head-up-ass measurement. How many sequins do you have to snort to consider Tara Reid hip (and not just that, but the only hip jet setter)? And I don't know if you all you girls know, but exposing your breasts is the new thing. Seriously, all the hipsters are doing it -- the streets of the Lower East Side are lined with topless waifs with Karen O haircuts.
Anyway, I think Kayne's outlook on what's hot explains his frequent shirtlessness in this episode. He just wants to be cool!
It's also very chic to wear a sleep mask on your head when you address people...
(I know, I know, it's probably a pair of sunglasses, but it's more fun to think of it as a sleep mask, don't you think?)
2. And, you know, Kayne isn't the only one gone wild. Uli gets vasted. Laura was nailed on the runway last week. And Vincent looks just seconds away from a "Justified My Continued Existence in This Competition" reprise...

It ain't leather, but it's awfully risque. Isn't that right, Vinny?
Also, he made a man's thing. It's not so bad, right, Vinny?
3. With those out of the way, we can talk about Jeffrey. Specifically, his crotch.
How do you explain this? Where would you go dressed like this?
"Oh, is it not apparent? First to the jet, which may have to sit on the runway for a while until everyone calms down. And then, to a concert, to an interview, to a party." Actually, no, it's not apparent -- I had in the past given Jeffrey more credit than this. I didn't realize his image of a rock-and-roll lifestyle was some fantasy straight out of Guns 'n Roses' "Patience" video (I'm really surprised he didn't start out, "Well, after I stomp on a neon phone, I head to the airport..."). Really, what a douchebag. And the whole tight pants thing...
Why? Why do guys wear leggings? It never looks good. The only use I can discern of such outerwear is to show off genitalia. And if you aren't packing, what is the point? (Really, the critique is the same one that I throw at Laura for wearing cleavage-revealing dresses constantly -- obviously, it's OK to have small breasts, just like it's OK to have an underwhelming package, but why accentuate your shortcomings?). Having a big dick in tight pants is part of the rock-and-roll fantasy/delusion -- I guess Jeffrey thinks he can get away with just being a big dick in tight pants.
Hit it again, Vinny.
4. And speaking of that, even though I would have been fine seeing Jeffrey go before Angela, I'm glad that the show effectively intervened on their bickering.
So, Jeffrey gets points on that dismount, but seriously: tiresome.
5. More discontent: Who knew that there was bitchery going on between the models? I mean, I could have guessed, but now I know. When Amanda, the Wuornos-esque redhead with the iPod shuffle, was kept in the competition, Clarissa openly said "Fuck."
(Clarissa's in the middle.)
Clarissa looks pained! I usually find the model component of this show to be sort of worthless, but now I want to know more about the frivolous rivalries. But, soon there will be plenty of that in my life -- Sept. 20 is but weeks away.
6. And good thing -- I was able to limber up for ANTM by yelling, "You better work!" at my TV screen this week:
It's a butch walk, for sure, but it's still a...walk. That he's...practicing. Whatever.
At this point, it's all wishful thinking because Michael has gotten nothing but yummier as the competition's progressed.
7. It's official: Laura is my favorite pregnant woman to ever exist:
She's also maybe the hottest.
And the most amazing: she started showing overnight!
8.
Meow.
9. You know, with all the effort and time Photoshopping absurdity onto screenshots takes, it's really nice to be able to scale back sometimes and just show things for what they are. I'm relieved to present to you the Gallery of Gape-Mouthed Contestants.
("Arrrrghhh!!! First class! (Cackling)." -- Seriously, I LOVE HER.)
(That's just obscene...as usual.)
And this last one is quite possibly my favorite screenshot that I've ever taken...
Sheer. Terror. Did she mistake those glasses of champagne for Holly Hobbie's bloody, disembodied head. Seriously, how insane is she?
This insane. That sounds like a Pee-Wee's Playhouse-style greeting. Or maybe she's practicing for Jubilee Jumbles: The Animated Series.
10. But for real: Yay, Tim! I don't give Tim Gunn much love because I know he gets plenty elsewhere. I mean, it's a given: Tim Gunn is great. This week, however, I must take time out to salute him.
"Carry on, I'm carrying myself on." I applaud him for changing things up and putting a twist on his catchphrase (Vincent's all, "I'm the twist.). I anxiously await the day that Tim tells the designers to, "Make it twerk."
11. How on fire was Michael Kors this week?
Classic. "You're a mess just standing." That's my new favorite put-down.
"That kind of style works in Miami, works in the Caribbean, is great in L.A., works in the South of France..." Oh Jeez. Uli really painted herself into a corner, didn't she? I mean, she can't take that outfit anywhere (except for, you know, Miami, the Caribbean, L.A., the South of France...).
"I love the little bit of bling." Aw, and I love you, Michael. Here's a little bit of bling for you:

12. Not that he was any match for mega-bitch Malandrino...
At least half of the reason that I call her a "mega-bitch" is that she looks like Shannen Doherty. Here's the other half:
Awww! Heidi, Tim, can we keep her?
13. Finally, how great was Heidi's hair at the beginning of the show?
After a week, when it's grown out and her original color comes back, this is what she looks like:
That style is so hard to keep!
(And sorry, everyone, that this recap arrived late -- sometimes it bes like that and I'd rather take the time to post something I'm happy with instead of racing to get whatever up, you know? Still, I'm spanking myself for being tardy. I look kinda like Like Dat here, except my butt's bigger.)

FIRST!!!!!!

Posted by: trick please | September 05, 2006 at 12:33 PM
tim's giggle at the end of his carrying on was the best.
I also noticed the same thing about Laura showing over night.
Thanks for the re-cap!

Posted by: Dean | September 05, 2006 at 12:38 PM
The best part of Tim's comment was him chuckling at his own cleverness.
Angela's gone! Woot!

the best line: getting away with just being a dick in tight pants
although you repeatedly laud Michael's beauty, somehow I still don't feel it's been lauded enough! sigh. or do i mean cluck.
i feel like a mess just sitting here!

hahahahahaaaa you have me laughing out loud ! !!!! xD
Posted by: licoricepirate | September 05, 2006 at 12:45 PM
It was rather disconcerting to see Jeffrey strike a Freddie Mercury pose. Sacrilege, actually. In his wildest dreams could never be anything more than Howard the Duck.
Posted by: Jock | September 05, 2006 at 12:46 PM
I think Jeff's outfit is very appropriate - he managed to design the black generic outfit for a junkie, which incidentally is exactly he was (is?). Way to go buddy - scooping all the various shooting galleries around LA...
Posted by: Crazy about the girl | September 05, 2006 at 12:49 PM
I know! The models' teensy bit of internal drama caused an unexpected increase in my blood pressure. I suddenly began scratching my arms and quivering a little. Then I took a deep breath and reminded myself too of 9/20.
Now I need to figure out what channel it's going to be on.
Whew.
Posted by: gayest neil | September 05, 2006 at 12:50 PM
Funny--Funny
But you missed a softball of a chance with ULI's "trendsetter" vs. "jetsetter".
Ouch!
Posted by: 4u2c | September 05, 2006 at 12:52 PM
The minute I saw Angela's nightgown I thought, "God I can't wait to read fourfour on this one..."
Posted by: Robbus | September 05, 2006 at 12:53 PM
in that pregnancy shot, what the hell is laura wearing? kayne's belt?
Posted by: fox | September 05, 2006 at 12:55 PM
I think the more babies you've had, the more it shows all at once. Still, it was remarkable...
Jeffrey IS a dick in tight pants. Is it not apparent? :-)
Posted by: claire | September 05, 2006 at 12:57 PM
two things I didn't notice until your screen caps:
- "I'm so f***king frightened when I look at you." I know what f**king is, but three asterisks in for missing letters? foocking?
- Laura wearing Kayne's belt. Awww.
Posted by: Christine | September 05, 2006 at 01:00 PM
I admit to having a love of Holly Hobby, but that doesn't mean I want to wear appliques on my ass.
And I totally agree with Rich on the Jeffrey outfit. And further accentuating his lack of dick was the way his leggings bunched up at the knees. He needs to go.
Posted by: Tootie | September 05, 2006 at 01:04 PM
Take as much time as you need. This is GOLD I tell ya, pure GOLD. Thank you!

Or Tuesday. Whichever.

Ok..im glad you brought up Micheal's progressive hotness. Each week, I like him more. But *sigh* he's gay, well, maybe not full blown, but he sure ain't %100 straight...so,whats a girl to do?
Posted by: FreeDrinks | September 05, 2006 at 01:07 PM
I love Heidi as sheepdog.
And Angela's pants were just plain horrible. What woman wants two big a$$ fleurchons on her behind???? That like having those two cinnabons stuck on your hips.
I am still nauseated by Jeffrey's crotch....sigh.
Posted by: Hateraid | September 05, 2006 at 01:12 PM
Can Laura be any hotter or more amazing? I think not. Although bitch better win a challenge soon. I am getting pretty tired of the judges ignoring the hotness and amazingness.
Posted by: david | September 05, 2006 at 01:29 PM
That last picture of Angela is PRICELESS.
Very funny recap, as usual.
Posted by: theprgayboys | September 05, 2006 at 01:31 PM
Loved the part with Michael Kors offering a little bling to Michael...with the gold grill. Marvelous!!!
Posted by: Victoria | September 05, 2006 at 01:32 PM
Single best thing this season...? Catherine Maladrino..!!!! Quelle BITCH!
Serious that French accent combined with fashion cuntiness must have sent a shiver down everyones spine, and I LURVED IT. I have been DYING for Karl Lagerfeld to be one of the celebrity judges for a while, but Karla Lagerfeld was more than I could have every dreamed.
Lighten up it's just fashion>?! Hell no, its BRUTAL....
Posted by: Randy | September 05, 2006 at 01:41 PM
Why are all of Angela's pants equipped with a circle crotch? I find it vulgar and uneccesary. Glad she is gone.
Posted by: mer | September 05, 2006 at 01:54 PM
Angela's reaction to the champagne: she looks like one of those Snakes on a Plane about to strike.
I can't stop giggling at that screencap! I keep going back and start cracking up all over again.
She is totally insane.
Posted by: The Fury of Bea Arthur | September 05, 2006 at 01:55 PM
okay thank you for loving laura. i loff her.
i was glad that jeffrey won so he could stop whining.
and i loved that flaming question about michael kors. i started snorting ridiculously at that part!
Posted by: elaine | September 05, 2006 at 01:57 PM
Potentially good news! I was reading "People" and there was a mimi-article about Laura, comlete with a picture of her SEVEN MONTHS PREGGERS! She looks amazing, but that is beside the point. The point is that the writer said that they caught up with her "between tapings". Does that mean that she's in the final three?!!
Posted by: Lisa | September 05, 2006 at 01:59 PM
can we talk for a moment about Jeffery's rhinestone skull? It looked very Hot Topic to me . . .
excellent update, as usual.
Posted by: Mary Anne | September 05, 2006 at 02:12 PM
Angela with blown-out hair looked an awful lot like ANTM's Cycle 3 Ann. Also, for allegedly being Mr. Rock and Roll, Jeffrey sure looked like his shirt came from Hot Topic.
Posted by: Leila | September 05, 2006 at 02:17 PM
Clearly, I should have read the comment above mine before posting.
Posted by: Leila | September 05, 2006 at 02:18 PM
FANTASTIC re-cap! Thank you! Also, thank you for loving Laura and not liking Jeffrey's outfit. His Jetsetter costume was something for Spinal Tap at Shank Hall. Please! Also, I couldn't believe that he wanted his body so closely under scrutiny with those pants. He's like reverse bowlegged or something. You're 30 not 20, Jeffrey. Everyone works and doesn't exercise on this show. Hence, the man-boobs, flat asses and the baggy clothing all being shown.
Posted by: Terese | September 05, 2006 at 02:30 PM
sorries
but michael looked a bit too h&m too me
and laura? wearing a cocktail dress to the airport is odd and impractical.
i'd be sort of interested to put michael in jeffrey's pants though, if you know what i mean ...
i was expecting more play on kayne's nipples here, but then again, you are a class act, aren't you dear.
Posted by: rod | September 05, 2006 at 02:33 PM
I find that I am not so much horrified by the insane rosette flowers lovingly accentuating the asscheeks on those shorts, as completely frightened by the matching brown rosette lovingly placed to cover Angie's ... brown rosette. I mean, WTF?
Posted by: E.D'Trix | September 05, 2006 at 02:34 PM
Vincent saying "I'm the twist" - ick. I literally shivered at the skeeze.

Posted by: Talix18 | September 05, 2006 at 02:37 PM
No comment on Jeff's quote about not knowing what he'll do with his life once Tim Gunn stops popping up and random moments?
that was my fav line.
Posted by: Amanda | September 05, 2006 at 02:40 PM
Jeffery's outfit looked like it came from Hot Topic.
Posted by: allison | September 05, 2006 at 02:47 PM
I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact Laura was drinking champagne on the airplane.
Now that's a bad mommy, I think!
Posted by: DLW | September 05, 2006 at 02:49 PM
Kayne was being sarcastic about the Tara Reid thing.
Jeffrey line about Tim Gunn not popping in his life anymore was one of my favorite lines too, Amanda.
Posted by: Jen | September 05, 2006 at 02:52 PM
Love your recap!! You always make my day and I'm hooked. Love that you love Laura. I like her deadpan view on everything. I don't know if you saw the bonus footage but Michael gives a great rendition of Angela's fluerchons using bowls! Hilarious.
Posted by: ST | September 05, 2006 at 03:01 PM
Did ANYONE notice that Laura seemed to be freebasing the bronzer this time around? Orange, ORANGE face, anyone? Or is she just, erm, glowing from pregnancy?
Posted by: arcturus | September 05, 2006 at 03:03 PM
1. I dont think we actually saw Laura drink any champagne
2. The later shots of Laura did not show any champange next to her seat
3. A little sip of champagne wont affect the kid that much, drinking constantly during all 9 months would
Posted by: Akbar | September 05, 2006 at 03:05 PM
I LOVED Vincent's wierd...whatever that was. Eyebrow spasm. And i love that you used it again. Oh, and how you drew a mouse face on him.
Is it wierd that I don't like Vincent...but love him in recaps? Such is the power of Rich.
Posted by: Christine | September 05, 2006 at 03:17 PM
Thanks for the photo of Tim, I was not sure I really saw Tim Gunn in a pair of jeans.
Posted by: yawning dog | September 05, 2006 at 03:31 PM
Amanda's happy dance? Wow, bit of an overreaction. Well she goes over the moon when her bf gives her an ipod shuffle, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised (I bet if he gave her the 60gb ipod video, her head would've exploded). Kayne looks positively maniacal when he finds out they're going to Gay Paree. Jeffrey so transparently has a schoolboy crush on Angela.
Posted by: timgunnfan1964 | September 05, 2006 at 03:35 PM
Thanks for that great shot of Angela w/ champagne. I'll be giggling all day from that one! I so look forward to your recaps, whether they come on Monday or Tuesday.
Posted by: vindaloo | September 05, 2006 at 03:36 PM
my question is, the judges criticism of Uli's dress was that they had seen her make dresses like this before and could they see something else, but Laura does the same dress over and over as well but doesn't get the same critique, how's come? I like Laura's stuff I just think she tends to stay in her safe zone.
Posted by: Vycki | September 05, 2006 at 03:47 PM
The only thing better than Laura and Michael as individuals is the fact that they seem to be each others' best friends on the show. I hope these 2 make it to the final 3.
Once again, great job on the recap. No problem with the delay. Masterpieces take time.
Posted by: Ess | September 05, 2006 at 03:51 PM
Well worth waiting for!! "Jeffrey thinks he can get away with just being a big dick in tight pants" -- best line ever! - I nearly choked on my diet coke! I couldn't figure out why the judges thought he was so "right on" when he looked like a refugee from an 80's hard rock band. (Oh, wait, he IS a refugee from an 80's hard rock band - just not one anyone ever heard of!)
Posted by: Pittypat | September 05, 2006 at 03:57 PM
Definately worth the wait! Jeffery called someone a "femanazi" in another episode (Angelia, I think?) and I noticed when this episode aired that he seems to be doing the "Hail Hitler" pose behind the screen before his runway walk. Although this seems harsh to type - this fits his completely intolerant attitude. He makes me sick - can't wait for him to get kicked off PR.
Posted by: seaturtle66 | September 05, 2006 at 04:27 PM
Kanye of many colours, is sooo NOT being sarcastic about Tara Reid.
Thanks for the re-cap.
As always, this was the best one ever!
Posted by: dizzy | September 05, 2006 at 04:43 PM
Another great recap, as always!
And I'm sure you know this already, but WTF, Angela is now helping out Catherine Malandrino during Fashion Week. What? Explain this to me?
Posted by: Mags | September 05, 2006 at 04:44 PM
I adore you, Rich - the Kayne Gone Wild mock-up goes in the "Hall Of Fame". Jeff looks like Corky from "Life Goes On" at certain angles. I'm sorry, but it's true.

Posted by: brit | September 05, 2006 at 05:01 PM
I about choked on a moutful of water when I saw the picture of Angela practically eating the flight attendant's arm...champagne, glasses, tray and all!
Posted by: Nick | September 05, 2006 at 05:01 PM
Catherine's aesthetic is very much quilty and artsy-craftsy much like Angela, so them working together isn't that big of a stretch.
Posted by: timgunnfan1964 | September 05, 2006 at 05:03 PM
The strings on Michael's pants were pointless, but I still love him. Can't WAIT til he gets braces. I'm going to be all over him like bronzer of Michael Kors.
Kayne used to be fat and nasty, remember? That's why he's always showing his body now. he's very proud of himself.
PLEASE make "a big dick in tight pants" Jeffrey's new name officially.
"Make it twerk." LOL. I'm sure most people missed this one, but I died laughing. I'm sure Michael could twerk ... but straight boys don't do that.
"You're a mess just standing." I LIVE for Mike Kors. I swear I do.
I love you Rich. Thanks for being you.
Posted by: Saeed | September 05, 2006 at 05:10 PM
Since what we get to see every Wednesday night is an edited version of the actual events and we see the designers only the way the producers want us to see them. I think Jeffery is coming across as kind of mean, and he might very well be a mean guy. Angela just rubs me the wrong way and has from the very start. She seems manipulative and coniving and her designs are not up to par with the rest of the remaining designers. Several of the designers have commented on how talented Jeffery is and how terribly untalented and out of step Angela is. I put a lot of weight on what the other designers have to say than what's portrayed on tv. I'm ecstatic that Angela is finally gone!

p.s. i heard on tim gunn's podcast that they had to do that airplane shot on a fake airplane because they won't let you shoot (cameras) in real airplanes anymore. i also heard they had to do about a gazillion takes of that catherine malandrino part and it was like 100 degrees in the workroom. that's enough to make anyone a little cranky.
Posted by: kate | September 05, 2006 at 05:48 PM
Say what you will, but Kayne is getting cuter and cuter each week!
I want more gratuitous barechested shots of him.
I mean, it's only fair: gratuitous Laura booblets for Kayne's man-bear chest.

I LOVE YOU, RICH!!!! It doesn't matter if you're late. Just please, promise you'll never stop with the recaps.
P.S. I totally snorted out my diet coke when Kayne said that "Tara Reid = jet setter" thing. I thought the gays were supposed to be on top of their celebrity gossip?
Posted by: | September 05, 2006 at 06:25 PM
I LOVE this recap. :-) You are right on.
As for the Uli thing....that one kind of bugged me. Where else are jet-setter's going to go? Bozeman? Kansas City? Seriously.... they kind of contradicted themselves.
Can't wait for the next one...
Posted by: bek | September 05, 2006 at 06:27 PM
Please Please Please my little love-muffins, no yelling *first!* I get enough of that on Perez Hilton. I was a little sorry to see Angela go, and I thought Michael or Laura should have won. Jefferey's crotch crystals were gay. Not gay gay, but just plain ol' gay.
Posted by: angela | September 05, 2006 at 06:30 PM

Fabulous recap! This was worth the wait. I agree that Laura is fantastic, Michael too. I feel terrified that Vincent makes the final three. Call it a disgusting gut feeling, ugh. I would rather see Jeffrey make it, though I can't stand the little dick or his dick-stripe either. Kucky.
Only 24 more hours, tee hee.

Jeffrey's chin & neck area really grosses me out. It's like he's got this tiny head sitting atop a tree trunk. Ew. I guess the tatt helps break up the space? He's a mess just standing.
Top two: Michael & Laura.

I think Jeff stole that line about Tim from season 2 Nick (or maybe it was Daniel V).
Posted by: timgunnfan1964 | September 05, 2006 at 08:28 PM
I loved how Angela made her ass look like the frowny face of a big grumpy monster. I mean, look at it: she's got a fleurchon-eyed, rusched-mouth UNHAPPY CREATURE on her ASS. Her obliviousness is awesome.

I swear I heard Catherine Malandrino say "You look a thick pop star". Does she really say "fake"?
Bitch should be a guest judge more often. Tough love, baby!

I think the models are getting the shaft this season. They have hardly done any walking and are being eliminated by a mere pulling names out of a bag. What's up with that?
I'm tired of Vincent using the "that's who I am" line when trying to sell his dresses on the runway. Like we are to be amazed at his incredible creativeness or something. Vince,go home the shits for giggles are over and it's time to play hardball.

Fuck me! Kayne is so fucking gross. Tara Reid? Puh-lease.
Go Laura Go! Go Laura Go!

Jeffery is a fucking douchebag, but all I can say is that dude has the rickets. HA!

Hey, I thought vomiting rainbows was Alison's gig?
Posted by: ccccc | September 06, 2006 at 12:03 AM
THANK YOU for pointing out Jeffery's design for what it was: boring, unflattering and completely uninspired. If that's all it takes to make him feel like a rock star, he'll cream his leggings over Hot Topic.
Posted by: Candice | September 06, 2006 at 12:16 AM
Should've read the other comments... others beat me to the Hot Topic comparisons. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed, though. (Spelled Jeffrey's name wrong, too — dang!)
PS: Laura = completely underrated. I loved her design in the recycled materials challenge. :D :D :D
Posted by: Candice | September 06, 2006 at 12:23 AM
Your recap of Uli painting herself into a corner was so spot on!! I almost chocked on my saliva.
Posted by: rob | September 06, 2006 at 12:41 AM
I agree - don't ever apologize. I really don't know how you manage to do this with all the expectation and "pressure". I'm just totally grateful you do it and that you're still having fun. Those people who keep whining need to start surfing the internet more. Yeah, apparently there's this thing called "google." It helps you find places to visit on the internet, like web pages. Yeah, seems like there are millions of these web pages at our fingertips in fact. Go figure. :D

Seriously? I look like that to you? OUCH. Big time. And I am blonde now. Check my myspace: www.myspace.com/modelgrl

I don't know if it's been said, but Jeffrey looks exactly like Andy Dick.
And I vote for Tim's new catchphrase to be "No homo."

Is it just me or does Vincent look like Mr. Kite from Pee-Wee's Playhouse?

Am I the only one who doesn't see the big hype in Laura? Her designs and personal style don't do it for me. It's like I've seen it before.
I guess I can't be the only one because she hasn't won a challenge yet.
Posted by: Be Dazzled! | September 06, 2006 at 11:55 AM
Fucking brilliant recap.
Posted by: Mariam | September 06, 2006 at 12:07 PM
I don't understand all the OMG FIRST comments...
But I loved the random vincent as a mouse bit. So out of nowhere, so genius.
Posted by: inothernews | September 06, 2006 at 12:23 PM
Loved your recap! Hil-larious!
Posted by: Soulfull | September 06, 2006 at 12:38 PM
Rich,
I got to quote you today!!!!
As in "I wonder what the exact measurement is on how far you have to have your head up your ass to vote for Katherine Harris".
p.s. I live in florida
Posted by: dizzy | September 06, 2006 at 12:58 PM
Amanda, if you're checking back: you know you're hot. Making fun of models is something I do here because I'm ugly.
Sometimes I wonder if I should issue a disclaimer before the jump of every post ("If you are on this show, please do not read this").
Posted by: Rich | September 06, 2006 at 01:07 PM
loved it

YAY!!! You Rock with the recaps!!
Posted by: Genevieve | September 06, 2006 at 01:14 PM
Funniest PR blog yet!!
Posted by: murielle | September 06, 2006 at 01:29 PM
The exact measurement on how far you have to have your head up your ass to think that Holly Hobbie is hip is approximately 400 miles, or roughly the distance from NYC to the Ohio border. As an east coast native currently stuck in Ohio, I can vouch that women like Angela and her mother are the norm. If I don't get out of here soon, I'm either going to shoot my face off or start barfing up fleurchons.
Posted by: Margaret | September 06, 2006 at 01:42 PM
so here's my only issue.. why did Laura screetch that they were sitting in first class... as if the woman who shows up to PR with 17 pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage doesn't ALWAYS fly first?????
Posted by: David J | September 06, 2006 at 02:48 PM
"Tim-Yay" clip on loop, please. I will miss
the crazy Alison/Angela and her Fraggle rock outfits. mmm.
Posted by: Coy | September 06, 2006 at 03:03 PM
Thank God for your site! It's the one PR of this season I missed and your recap was awesome. THANK GAWD ANGELA IS GONE! I just did not get her, AT ALL. And I'm a pretty compassionate person, but GEEZ! She made me start cheering Jeffrey...whom I just can't relate to either.
Bravo, bravo!
Posted by: D.L.McNair | September 06, 2006 at 03:13 PM
Rich, I worship you.
Posted by: Steven | September 06, 2006 at 04:58 PM
A couple of (totally useless) things....
-I can't stop singing the title to the tune of "Ribbon in the Sky."
-OMG! KANYE GONE WILD1!!!!ALLCAPS!!!
-You put Jeffrey "on hold" haha.
-let's get vasted!

OH MY GOD...I laughed so hard at that Angela-in-terror screenshot that I cried and coughed! It's so hirlarious, the entire thing is! How do you do it?
Posted by: Scott | September 06, 2006 at 07:15 PM
I'm about to post some long-winded useless comments, but this it the internet so who cares:
Has anyone heard of "The Artist's Way"? That 12-step program for blocked "creatives"? (if I start calling myself a "creative" I'll shoot myself) I'm on the reading deprivation week. I'm not supposed to read anything, but I broke down and cheated to read this recap, and you know what? It was totally worth it!!!
Thanks for giving some love to Tim Gunn. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't his decision to turn into a make-it-work-carry-on wind-up doll this season, and that little twist was his way of expressing his distaste toward silly soundbites. I have to admit, and don't be jealous, y'all, but I have a Tim Gunn in my life. My dissertation advisor is EXACTLY like Tim Gunn, and I adore him. We could all use an articulate, handsome, witty older gay gentlemen with impeccable taste to mentor us and show us right from wrong.
And whoever compared Jeffrey to Howard the Duck is right on the mark. Rich, you should seriously consider writing up Howard the Duck, because that is the worst movie ever made and that shit is seriously up your alley.
Thanks, Rich, you are the best writer I have read in a long time.
Posted by: | September 06, 2006 at 07:19 PM
Jefferys mutant tortoise head makes me crazy I hate him so much and I was so mad he won @!! I was praying that Michael would win..ugh, his runway strut was beyond absurd..every moment of it ...horrendousssss
Posted by: Natalie N | September 06, 2006 at 08:07 PM
Did you Photoshop an anal fleurchon onto Angela's jet-set bermudas? There are the ass-cheek ones, then there's this puckered circle between them on the seam above the bung.
Together with the tone-on-tone Poise/Depends built-in pee pad that she sews into the crotch of all her pants, I think she may have a future in colostomy-friendly apparel.
Was Holly Hobbie incontinent?
Posted by: Tanith | September 06, 2006 at 08:54 PM
Perhaps, and I heard Holly Hobbie was seen flashing her tits on the Lower East Side....
How come Jeff didn’t have enough time to make Angela’s mom a tailored jacket, but he had time to make one for his rock star jetsetter self? LITTLE dick in tight pants, you mean.
Posted by: Nightingale | September 07, 2006 at 12:06 AM
Can you "Twerk the shark?"
Posted by: Tanith | September 07, 2006 at 12:33 PM
Did anyone else bust into a rousing rendition of Purple rain seeing Laura's couture?
Posted by: Unseachic | September 07, 2006 at 11:20 PM
"How come Jeff didn’t have enough time to make Angela’s mom a tailored jacket, but he had time to make one for his rock star jetsetter self? LITTLE dick in tight pants, you mean."
I asked myself the same exact thing. But I think Angela's mom's outfit would've taken a lot longer to drape and fit than his own. He's probably used to making clothes for himself, and I'm sure he knows his own measurements and proportions by heart.
But yeah, he's still a dick.
Posted by: HF | September 08, 2006 at 11:23 AM
Perfection: bringing back the "innuendo Vincent" gif after the paragraph about Jeffrey's crotch.
Posted by: Fred J. Dukes | September 08, 2006 at 11:33 AM
I guess I just don't know fashion, but I do know good taste. Jeffrey looked like a duck in spandex. And that hair! Have you noticed the mullet tail?
Posted by: rose | September 08, 2006 at 12:08 PM
Before you do the next recap please, please, please check out the bonus footage on bravotv.com. Oh my god, there's some freaking funny stuff there -- Vincent awkwardly ordering at the olive, Laura barking "two apples!" en Francais, Vincent snacking on the olives a la praying mantis. It's so good. You cannot miss it. PLUS, producer Michael Rucker says Vincent (or "win-sent" as Uli calls him) almost quit the show over not how his shirts were laundered instead of dry cleaned!
Posted by: FoxxyBrown | September 08, 2006 at 09:39 PM
did i miss the part where it was mom's day and michael kors and his mom should have been compared? toss a wig on michael and he's his mother. try it.
Posted by: jenny lee | September 09, 2006 at 12:35 AM
Jenny Lee, how could you have missed Rich's artistry? Go back to his post titled "You Look Hotter Eliminated" for the hilarious and magical comparison between mother and son.
Posted by: Nightingale | September 09, 2006 at 07:26 AM
I am FUCKING crying!Your recap is insane!! I love it.I got let er-body at City-its know about this piece.

I just saw Alison in my (and possibly Rich's) neighborhood yesterday walking with some dude.
Then I stepped in a big pile of unicorn shit.

I love the fact that Laura has Kayne's belt on. Now shes' gotta name the baby Gunnar Kayne!
