Oh Laura, you are so much more sophisticated and, well, everything than I am but we both love the same men: Robert BEST and the Project RunGay boys. I hope this means there is hope for me yet. ;) GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!

As a native New Orleanian, of course I treat any celebrity I encounter with an air of utter indifference (feigned or not), but if I ran into Laura on the street, I'd probably break down and gushingly ask for her autograph.

Great interview. Laura has been my favorite from the beginning and I hope she wins. I loved her comment about the slide to sweats and minivans and her refusal to go there. I think we have to much of that today. I love her approach to individual style. Find the style that fits and works for you and forget about trends.

Laura a true individualist.

Leave it to Laura to speak freely about an ominous phone call from the dean. Tim Gunn is always so understated. His most emotive comment this season was "Oh Jesus" to Kayne. Now this? Has he ever called anyone into his office? When did Laura's interview with Outzone take place?

Laura's child(ren?) went to preschool with my son. Although I didn't know her, she was amazing and stylish looking and really stood out in a crowd. Once, she wore an evening gown to a morning assembly thing that the parents were invited to. I commented to her how fantastic she looked in it, and with the amazing amount of style she had, not ridiculous at all (so few could pull that off, but she did). She told me she wore it to the school assembly because her son asked her to. She looked great!

Best of luck to her! And how great for her to be doing this!?! Go for it!

First of all, Laura was my favorite from the very start. I loved everything she made, her attitude, and her poise and grace under pressure -- not to mention her incredible wit! But, let me respond to JR's post above. I think Laura is a terrific person to be having a sixth child--regardless of her husband's age. She seems to me to be a person who will teach her children to be productive, contributing, involved members of society. Why shouldn't she set a positive example for them and live her dreams? I think that's the best thing she could ever do for them. Laura strikes me as a person who is creative and flexible enough to "make it work". And, for those of you concerned about the baby and alcohol; a couple of drinks every once in a while will not harm the baby. An informed doctor will confirm that for you. For God's sake, people, it's not like she's getting sloppy drunk every night! Give it a rest, will you?

Just keep on going... you have it all inside to do great things. You are a very interesting woman. It is refreshing to see "elegance and class" brought to Project Runway. Oh... I don't wear jeans either... I don't look good in them and they are not for everyone. *applause*

Laura has been a standout from the very first. She caught my attention immediately. Besides her beauty, her talent is remarkable. I was disappointed that the judges seemed not to be paying attention to her at first. I think they were awed by her quality of work and personal charisma, and felt they needed to pander to the children. I'm glad she's being recognized finally, and I know she'll win.

Sue,
You need to check yourself. Personally, I think Laura and her husband make a charming, fabulous looking couple. That, however, is neither here nor there. How do you know that Laura doesn't adore her husband's hair/age/look/whatever. Either way I think you are and JR are both ridiculous. Take a page out of Laura's book. Open your mind and keep your judgments to yourself.
