This week on Project Runway:

Ricky cried…again.

Elisa spit.

Need I say more?

Oh yeah, and Sarah Jessica Parker was the guest judge.

This week, the designers had to design a two pieces for her Bitten clothing line, sold at Steve & Barry’s. (looks like someone is trying to self-promote…)

When the designers saw the fashion icon, there was an orgasmic amount of applause and praise. Then, each of them had to pitch a design to the Notorious S.J.P. She picked seven designs and the chosen ones picked a partner in crime to construct the garment.

The focus of the show was mainly on Sweet P and crazy marionette woman, Elisa. When they were working on Elisa’s polymorphic design, the sartorial space cadet spit on her fabric as a marker.

That was just foul.

But to my surprise, with a little help from Sweet P’s sanity, Elisa’s saliva tinged garment was one of the top two on the runway - and I liked it too!

Speaking of the runway, it was pretty damn intense. More tears were shed by Carmen when she asked who should go home: her or her teammate Christian. They usually do this judgmental partner backstabbing later on in the season, but I guess they decided to go straight to the slaying in this episode. It was probably because the judges wanted to impress SJP with their tough-as-nails attitude.

All of Carmen’s tears were because of this:

It was surprising that wunderkid Christian’s design made the bottom two. This was one of those “good on paper” designs. SJP put it best when she said it looked more severe in person. The judges basically said this was a fashion don’t from the ’80s. Sorry Christian, but I have to agree. It looked like a costume from Xanadu gone horribly awry - or something we would see in a retro-tacky Whitesnake video.

But the BEST comment of the evening was when Michael Kors said, “All you need is some big button earrings and a role on ‘The Facts of Life.’”

Oh Michael, you kill me!

Then there was Marion’s design…

Michael compared this to a Pocahontas costume. Heidi called it “dirty” and said it looked like it was from “the basement.” I say that it looks like a belted fringed burlap sack worn by a Himalayan woman that idolizes Red Sonia and listens to Stevie Nicks.

But all the tears and spit do have a happy ending - Victorya’s (her partner was Kevin) simple chic frock with an adorable racer back vest:

For women, this suits all shapes and sizes. It’s trendy, but not overwhelming. Its simplicity fits the ethos of the Bitten line. It translates unbelievably well - and I could actually envision SJP wearing this.

So who had to go home? I am sorry to say that it was the soft-spoken Oliver Twist-looking chap from Dallas, Marion. Time to mark our Pro-Run bingo card:

Agreed. He was the weakest of the weak - and the design was not executed well. It had potential, but it turned into an outfit more appropriate for gypsies, tramps and thieves.

I really like how Tim comes into the room to immediately tell the losing the designer to “clean up their workspace.” Even tough everyone is shedding tears for the fashionable loser, he’s so cordial about it. For some reason, it kind of makes me giggle.
