Runway Rage

I'm on vacation but I checked my email this morning because I knew what I would find: Pissed off emails from friends furious about Alison's auf'ing last night.

Randy said, "it's a good thing you are in Greece. Much easier to dodge the endless bricks that are going to be tossed your way as a result of booting alison. that particular decision makes me seriously question the motivation of the choices. total weirdness."

Gary emailed, "last week was maybe the best runway episode ever, but i am devastated about losing alison tonight..."

Kristen said, "Ok, for the 1st time I'm PISSED @ you guys! So lame not to get rid of Vincent. My super is a better designer. Boo to Bravo! (But I thought it was a good episode otherwise!)"

I am not going to defend the decision last night by the judges. When I saw the rough cut of the episode I called Nina Garcia to ask her what the judges were thinking. She told me how awful the dress looked going down the runway and how the panel all were disgusted by how the model looked from head to toe, and that it was Alison's fault for doing this to her model.

I am bummed out for the show that Alison is gone. She was one of my picks to go to fashion week. So the question becomes -- why choose Vincent over Alison? My answer is, "I don't know." The naysayers today will say that Vincent is great TV and that's why he's still on. IS HE, though? Would you rather watch Vincent than Alison? I personally would not. If it were up to me, I would've gotten rid of Vincent in Episode One with that lampshade on the model.

I liked her design. Maybe its just me, but I'd rather look fat and have on a cute dress than look 'long and lean' in a tube with stuff glued all over it. Even if it does make you look a little heavy, people could still compliment the genius of the dress, not to mention the styling (That bow, how cute!). Plus, everyone looks silly in something they can't function in.

I was really sorry to see Alison go. Vincent is such a messed up, lost in his won strange world mensch that he makes me crazy. That guy is so taken with himself, and as far as I am concerned, he is the only one that is convinced of his talent. As for the butt-head with the tattoos on his neck(I detest him so much I can't even remember his name)I realize that he makes good TV with his caustic and nasty demeanor, but he is so plain nasty and offensive that he deserves to get the boot.
