Jeffrey-the-Pinheaded-Shmoo won.
To paraphrase him: This TOTALLY sucks.
Uli was robbed. Laura was robbed. Michael was mugged on his way to Bryant Park by some thugs frontin' Yo Hoochie Momma's House O' Bling.
He was an odious, mean-spirited hack and still, he won. Ugh. PR may have just jumped the shark. I knew I couldn't trust that whole redemption edit. And one final thought: what's the point of rehab if you are still a loathesome twat?
On the other hand, part of me rejoices in the thought that the too-cool-for-rules Jeffrey-the-Pinheaded-Shmoo will have to spend the next year being mentored by people he thinks are sell-outs and hacks, designing pret a porter for women who are shaped more like his baby mamma than the swizzle sticks in skinny pants he so clearly prefers.
Still and all, the fact is that he made an older woman cry, just because he didn't like her daughter, and I don't care how they paint Angela's mom as a whiny, passive-aggressive; the fact is that he gloated about it to the daughter and bragged about what an atrocity he made her mother wear; he heaped incessant hateful abuse on Laura (Why doesn't that woman have a stroke and die?; Moth balls and chicken soup, etc.); the constant "I'm a genius and the rest of these guys can't hold my crusty jock strap"... all of that makes me despise him.
I know a lot of folks out here in the blogosphere, especially on the Bravo site and on Blogging Project Runway think that the producers demanded he win for ratings. Maybe. Maybe not. But the editing surely didn't help the viewers believe that JTPS won for his show.
Uli and Laura were both praised for having 12 pieces that made a cohesive collection. Jeffrey-the-Pinheaded-Shmoo was criticized for not. He ran over budget and had to give up the blonde Barbie wigs. Michael Kors rolled eyes over that. Fern Malis pointedly told Uli not to leave Miami, that her work could go in stores tomorrow and race out the doors. Nina Garcia said that someone stopped her at the tents to ask where they could buy/contact Uli. Of all the interviews of celebs and fashionistas shown, only one preferred JTPS's collection.
And as for that collection, all I can say is sand-blasted, acid-washed denim is fashion-forward? Would you really trust a man who dresses himself in plaid cuffed manpris to dress you?
In the words of my beloved, departed grandfather (a tailor): Feh. Dun't vaste yer money.
