Project Runway: Irina Won, Johnny Got the Boot

Irina WON the challenge with her newspaper trenchcoat by Bluefly.com featuring Frye boots

Luckily, we're back to wacky materials. This week's mystery fabric... newspaper! (specifically the LA Times), which makes this an episode of making things out of things you'll never make another thing out of again, a la season 5's recycled car parts creations.

With a little bit of glue and a quickie fashion history lesson from Tim on paper, the contestants got fired up! And when I say fired up, I mean they hate each other. (If you thought the cat claws were out last week, this week we had Irina 'shocked' that Althea won last week while Nicolas shared a few 'choice' words about Irina, as in: why the hell is she still here?) However, most thought Johnny should have got the boot. Talk about premonitions. But more on that later...

When it came to the cat claws, Tim Gunn and the judges were in rare form as Heidi called Johnny's design a "hooker dress" before giving him the "I'm sorry you (and your 'oldest profession' looking dress) are out" double kiss on the cheek. Tim Gunn quipped "I'm incredulous at that utterly preposterous spewing of fiction that Johnny did on the runway." Wow. "It was ridiculous." And all I can say to that is: Meow!

And while I'm on the subject of Judges: Where are Nina and Michael? Last night, Tommy Hilfiger, senior Marie Claire editor Zoe Glassner, and Eva Longoria Parker judged the crew with Heidi. Now I can deal with Nina Garcia's absence, but I love my perma-tan, Bewitched Uncle Arthur-esque, snarky Michael Kors. He makes the judging panel so much better. Oh well, at least we got a glimpse of Mean Tim.

Fingers crossed Mean Tim comes back next week.

Until next time,

~Jax
