Robert & Wendy

We wanted to break these up as the "Best of the Rest" and the "Rest of the Rest," but really, there wasn't enough of a difference so we're doing it kind of arbitrarily.

Lorenzo nailed it. He said she looked like the bride on top of the cake and he's right. This is completely unimaginative.

Maybe we're just too focused on the upcoming Dreamgirls premiere, but doesn't she? Look like a Supreme? Just a little bit?

There's nothing wrong with being a sexy bride, but the removable skirt was a little too stagewear, too "Like a Virgin." Bleh. Gimmicky.

We actually didn't hate this dress. We didn't exactly love it, but it was competently made and she at least tried to do something a little different and interesting. The red was a nice touch but the overall design is so bland that it doesn't even register as a wedding dress. It looks more like a coming out dress.

That's....way off. It just doesn't go with the front of the dress. And again, it looks decidedly un-bridal.

But hey, it's a hell of a sight better than her makeup this week.

For Christ's sake, she looks like Witchie Poo.

Unlucky Starr

Oy.

The judges did a fine job of pointing out just what was wrong with this one, the most glaring problem being that it was clearly not in the Banana Republic style.

That, and it was ugly.

Here's the thing: a dress like this, it's not for everyone but we can definitely see it appealing to a certain kind of woman. Starr works that whole "harlequin" thing and it's clearly an aesthetic that appeals to her and she feels very strongly about. In a case like that, it would seem wrong to beat that out of her in service to a career in fashion. Better for her if she keeps her line small, maybe open her own boutique. As far as we know, she's still in North Carolina, and we can just see a certain type of eccentric Southern woman with money to burn and a passion for expressing herself loving her clothes. For more on what she's been up to since the show, go here.

Having said all that...

Holy cow was that the most dramatic exit the show's ever seen?

We kept waiting for them to put her in a boat, set it on fire and watch her drift down the Hudson.

And she damn near had to be pried off that runway.

"Starr, honey? Seriously, you have to go."

"I mean it. They're going to turn the lights off soon. Now, pull yourself together and get off the runway. I don't want to have to pay the crew overtime."

"Thank you.

Christ."

Thankfully, the gigantic healing hands of Austin were there to soothe the pain.

PEOPLE! SHE'S NOT DYING!

The Best of the Rest

The PRGayBoys were in mild disagreement over this one. Lorenzo liked it a lot more than Tom did. It's definitely bold and eye-catching. But penis envy, Robert? Puh-leeze.

It wasn't an original concept, but against what the other designers were doing, it stood out. It's a little pucker-y but for the most part, it's well-executed. It's just the color choices we're not crazy about more than anything.

Wow, that bitch from e-bay really tore this to shreds. We didn't think it was that bad. Conceptually, it was very weak. You don't really get the envy vibe off it. It looks more like a wedding dress than anything else, especially with the bound hands resembling a bouquet. We're not sure if that was deliberate, but if it was, we'll give her points for being clever.

And the back makes a little more sense than the front, in terms of her explanation. Simplistic, sure. But did you have to make Nora cry, e-bitch?

Martinique, you slinkyfabulous thing, you.

Don't get us wrong, it's definitely costume-y and maybe not even pretty, but we were talking about this last night and we decided that this really is how Austin envisions envy. It just felt like pure expression of vision to us. The green heart is clever and the whole "Evil Queen" thing is totally Austin. Plus we loved the way he directed her to slink down the runway.
