 I'm sorry to hear how difficult things are for Julia, Pixi, and especially Shan.  Sorry I haven't been around much; I'm at a conference all week...tomorrow I present a paper on Dr. Horrible and Dollhouse. Wish me luck. Even if it goes badly, it's nice to be among the geeky again.  |

I like the blue ruffly dress muchly.
The short outfit not so much.
The suit was cool, but the gray, not so much for Spring.
The red dress is so short!
I like the white dress for a wedding dress.
The yellow thing looked too much like a nightie.
I like the ruffly neck yellow and gray dress with the orange shoes.
I liked the first flippy dress the best - with the orangey print.

Okay, here we go:
Amy: Riot of clor and not fit that I can see. I like the movement, but it seems too busy. I think it makes the model look--fat.
Seth: Well, the judges have often reacted negatively to shiny fabrics. I think they will again. This reminds me too much of every SciFi catsuit I've ever seen. And what's with the 80's shoulders?
Jesse: Well the overall design is just the basic slipdress, but I love the treatment at the waist. The color is great but not magazine cover-friendly. Also there's some question about how it moves on her. It seems to be riding up.
Ana Marie: It looks maternity. Is Heidi still going to be pregnant? This outfit's a big nothing. Vest, shorts and a top. Colors? Drab. *Yawn*
Anthony's dress has the same problem that Anthony's dress had last week. Great idea--poor execution. Love the color, but that floppy, fold-y something down the front is BADLY done.
Janeane: GORGEOUS! Elegant. Ladylike. Creative. Swingy movement and so, so new and unusual at the hem with all those layers! Bet the judges hate it. Kors was frowning.
Mila: There's fitting issues in the color blocks just like I saw before. The dress does not otherwise show anything original and the colors look dreary.
Emilio: Bright colors and good fit. Nice detail. Nice detail on the top with the lacing.
Jay: No color, but the movement of the dress is someting only Heidi could really carry off. I think the judges might say it's costumey or bride-y. I think it's pretty and I love the way it moves. Just wish it had some color.
Jonathan's dress is another Star Trek escapee. I love the fabric and the colors, but I think a pair of wide leg trousers would have been classier.
Maya's dress is very elegant but maybe too "careful" at the neckline. If it also is too muted, I think the colors harmonize nicely.
Ben's dress is a knockout! Vibrant, alive, young, smart and flattering. It's a dress that takes some guts to wear but I love that studded belt.
Well, that's me. Let's see what the judges say.

Amy - I like this! Very feminine and flowy and, yes, it does feel very "spring". I don't care for the big flower-like thing on the bodice, but I do like the print.
Seth Aaron - It's not a bad suit, although I am less fond of the pants than the jacket. It's not great, but it's not horrible. The model, on the other hand, just did a horrible walk. Seriously horrible.
Jesse - Pretty. Tight and short and low cut, so Heidi should like it, but it doesn't look too cheap, because of the color and fabric choices. I wish I could see it closer, because hopefully there are some interesting details on it. If not, then it's a bit too simplistic.
Anna Marie - this turned out better than I expected. I like some of the individual pieces (the blue top is pretty, the back of the vest is nice but the front not as much, etc.) Can't tell if she salvaged the shorts or not.
Anthony - I like it, I think. It is perhaps a bit overworked . . . or maybe it's just that the dress is a very common basic underneath and I'm not sure if some of the layers are just trying to disguise that, but overall I like it.
Jeanane - Hmmm. I can't tell if I like it or not. At some angles, I do, At some, I don't. Is the skirt too stiff and 50's or is it interestingly shaped and with a cool swirl? Is the little over-vest-y thing ethereal and lovely or oddly wimpy? Is the color fascinating as the light hits it or dull? I can't tell!
Mila - It's nice, if a tad simplistic. I think she's right to be worried about the color - too pale. Her model is really rockin' it, though.
Emilio - I do love the top of it, very pretty, he was right about the lovely detailing. The skirt is too short. (Although, is it too short for Heidi? Probably not.) It also looks a bit lingerie-ish, but very pretty. I think I liked his first two dresses of this season better, but a pretty dress.
Jay - It is flowy and graceful and romantic. Again, I'm not sure I totally love the one-shoulder ruffle thing, yet it is better than just a faux flower. I actually love the color, but they may think it is too dull for a cover. Also love the flowy skirt, but that won't be seen on a cover either. Model is totally working this one too, good walk!
Jonathan - Hmmm. This could go really well or really badly. Again, it's got a lingerie feel, but that is deliberate this time, what with it being a romper. I actually like the color, but will it be too pale? And I like the big sleeves, although they could be seen as rather retro-70's, I guess.
Maya - the dress is simple (too simple?), but the collar is pretty. I think she's right that it would be better with more volume.
Ben - I really do love the colors on this. Really! And the back!
Posting this boldly before I see what the judges think! ;D

Absolutely perfect creation! Screams spring all over the place. Love the magazine headlines, too. |

Where are the dinosaurs? Otherwise it's sexy, colorful and makes a great cover. Heidi would totally look fantastic in it. But it needs dinosaurs. |

Top and bottom folks! Ben: Modern, they love the colors, they comment on the beautiful back. Yes! Confident, would really grab a viewer. Anna - give no shape, 3 ingredients that don't work together, too teen a look. Oh, snap! Yeah, I agree that the biggest issue is they don't pull together as one look. Dreadful, not special, well made but . . . Anthony - Yay! They like it! Love the color, like the one shoulder on this one - he did it right. And they like the way it follows/shows the shape of the body. Yay, Anthony! Jeaneane - Too fussy, not fashion forward. Too sweet. Whimsical and mermaidy, but not a cover dress. Mila - They don't like the peach, don't like the shape, "those arrows are pointing at her crotch". Ha!! Color is just not good at all - hospital bandage. Emilio - He did something with the fabric that they didn't think could be done, strong, would grab a reader if on the cover. Love the cover, but the detail/ribbons might be too junior. They toss the straps and the pony tail and it becomes much more elegant. So - who's the winner and loser? I'd be happy with any of the 3 for the win. Winner is Anthony! OMG! Boy, talk about your difference from last week!  Auf'd is . . . Anna. Yes, I suppose she missed the mark even more than Jeaneane. |
