P. Run Season 5 Ep. 2 Recap
July 26, 2008
So, how are we feeling about Season 5 so far? I have a strong personal bias towards Season 2, which most of you are aware of. It’s just that, in my opinion, nothing can top the Good TV + Good Fashions of that time in our lives. Sigh. Anyway!
-Sadly, cute [but kindof boring] Wesley got kicked auf. It sucks that so many models opted for that ‘green’ brown poopsilk, because it was totally fug and try as I might, I simply cannot picture a single person looking good in that. Well, except for Halle Berry, who is, you know, Halle Berry. Also of note: Wesley and Daniel are dating, which I’m sure you’ve heard, and all I have to say is: cute couple.
-How psyched were we about Natalie Portman guest judging!?!????!? [Aside: have you seen her in Devendra's new video?]
-Suede is absolutely, 100% annoying as fuck. And his winning number def. had some serious design/fit issues. But! Like Ms. Natalie, I also adored it, perhaps because out of all the looks, it was clearly the cocktail dress that I would have chosen for myself. We all know that I am a sucker for tulle. However, I also loved Daniel’s little black number. Is anyone else in agreement that Daniel kind of keeps designing these really lovely things and kindof keeps getting the shaft?
-Unfortunately for all those complaining about the hipster girls who all look alike, they seem to be doing quite well for themselves. Faux Betty Paige Kenley’s look was actually super pretty, and I didn’t really mind Emily’s either. Of course, Leanne’s noodly appendage dress was a disaster.
-Are we loving Jerell’s snarky asides and low-cut shirts? Yeah, that’s what I thought. I love his personality, I don’t love the blue peacock feather truffle he presented, except for maybe a short-’n'-tight piece for Lily or Louisa. [YES I WENT THERE!]
-OMG Stella’s insane.

I was just waiting to see what hideousness Blayne came up with (you know he’s from Seattle, right? I’m moving in 2 weeks and I still feel some sort of loyalty to Blayne). It wasn’t so bad – actually kinda cute, I thought. And he wasn’t such a dbag this episode. Did use -licious at some point, but made me laugh with his mockery of Stella’s leather obsession.
There was this strange trend going on – skirts/dresses with crotch-level shortness in the front that sloped down in the back to be semi-approp. Is that actually a look?
There was some real ugliness going on in this episode. I guess for me, S4 was incredible just because of Christian, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone up to his level yet.

Also, Natalie Portman was slightly irritating. “A really good cause .. ECOFASHION.” Like, hi. V many things are more pressing.
also, want stella to stop talking.
