Project Runway Season 9, Episode 6 (Bear With Me!)

The reason the blog is a little late tonight is because my alma mater (Western Kentucky University) is playing UK (BOOOOOO!)….GO TOPS!
I believe tonight’s episode deals with children as inspiration, thus the “back to school” pic…I’m so creative….let’s see what happens…
-One note, I don’t like seeing Michael and Nina in the opening credits, how does that wow me?…it doesn’t.
-6:15A???…Bert and Anthony Ryan are calling a truce, which I’m sure will be temporary “put the claws away”…meanwhile, in the girls’ room…Becky is the target…Anya “…clean slate”…yep, let’s see how long this love parade lasts…
-Viktor and Josh M. have immunity…Harlem School of the Arts…designers will collaborate with students to create an “avant garde” look…students were randomly selected…in other words, let’s paint bitches!…Viktor’s student Skyy is giving him the third degree, he wishes he had a cocktail…Olivier “I like depressing music” when his student asks him if he listens to music when he works…yawn and sad!…Anthony Ryan and his partner paint self-portraits, hmmm?
-Now the designers have to sketch something out of what the painting looks like…Viktor “I’m never having kids”…Josh M. likes fake not organic…really? I’m shocked! MOOD! Olivier’s fake English accent drives me nuts, he lived there a year, and now he’s Madonna…Josh C. is back, he’s really nervous about creating something good, wolf hair may not be the best idea…

(It can’t be that hard!)
-Anya “childrens from Harlem” excuse me?…Tim!!!…”this is not a red carpet challenge, it is an avant garde challenge”…LK thinks Lady GaGa is avant garde, uh, yeah!…I wonder how many tight tank tops Josh M. owns?…faux fur, Josh C. may go home again…Kimberly has pleather, oh dear…Bert is dying fabric, oh model forms hit the floor!…is this a sitcom?…Laura Kathleen designing organza flowers and she’s burning stuff, cool…
-Everyone is on the edge of their seats to see what Becky does…man, all kinds of death talk tonight…I guess the contrast of working with children needs a little darkness…the designers can video chat this time…
-LK is nervous sharing a table with Josh C…it’s that fur that’s giving his competitors a worry…Olivier is a “worrier not a warrior”…Viktor is full of great wisdom this time…the kids show up for a check-in with the designers…WU QING y’all!…Bryce is measuring his face and his student’s head…huh?…yikes, the painting is frightening!…Tim to Kimberly, “do not give Michael a Hiawatha moment”…she has feathers in addition to pleather…Becky check…sophistication is key, I’m not loving it…denim?…she’s not stepping out of the box enough…

(I have no idea what’s happening here, but it’s kids and it’s avant garde)
-Oh and just searched “avant garde” for images and few pictures of the late Corey Haim popped up…so bizarre….
-Bert’s is boring and it’s too literal…it’s very arts and crafts looking…Olivier screams avant garde and his design falls short…Tim “it means to lead”…Josh C.’s is also too literal…Viktor’s student, Skyy, she’s sassy and she breaks it down for the Gunn…the students will be at the runway show…Skyy, get ready girl…
-Bryce “the straight-jacket” look???, but seeing the painting, it makes sense…Josh C. puts some of the fur in the form of a mohawk on his head…yeah, all signs point to his inevitable 2nd departure…oh here come the tears…

  (Another image from my search, avant garde or FUPA?)
-Olivier could be in trouble with his time management, I think glue was mentioned…the Joshes share some shop talk…Oh God! Josh M. is NOT wearing a tank top!…Tim uses a great word, “strident”…apparently Collier Strong has been replaced by the leather guy from the Village People…Olivier is going to glue his garment onto his model…and I believe that’s a no-no, Tim “it’s against the rules”…the things you find out after nine seasons…Becky is hating on LK’s…and Josh M. is hating on Bryce, “too safe”…potential hot messes…

(Much better)
-Runway time!…NO NINA!…yes!…guest judge, Kenneth Cole…Kimberly-ah, a swimcap, with feathers and stuff, eh…Becky-no!…Olivier-BORING as HELL…Josh M.-pretty avant garde…Bert-OMG, hot mess!…Viktor-again, didn’t use a lot of color and he has immunity…Laura Kathleen-very textured…Bryce-it’s a straight-jacket!…Josh C.-I don’t like it…Anthony Ryan-very busy, but good…Anya-weird…
-Josh M.’s skirt is awesome, looks like a carved tree trunk…Michael on Josh C.’s “she looks a Victorian cocktail waitress in Vegas, she has the Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! boots on…not fashion”…Heidi “I’m gonna be a hooker for Halloween.”…Bert’s looks ridiculous, those pants are stupid-looking…Heidi likes that it was literal (HUH?)…they love LK’s…Olivier, oh boy…Kenneth doesn’t think it’s boring, too busy…they love Anthony Ryan’s, he’s colorblind????…Kenneth is just not on the same page as the regular judges…

(Translation? Are you in or out?)
-Anthony Ryan is the winner…”I’m not a bridesmaid”…Bert is in, because Heidi liked it…groan!…it’s between Josh C. and Olivier.
-AUF’ED: JOSH C….wow!, didn’t see that coming…
-Next Week: Teams of 5…oh not good!…
