As always with Jeffrey's designs, we WANT to like them, else we fear being seen as old farts, but there's "rock and roll" and then there's "cheap slut," and unfortunately, this design is far too much of the latter without enough of the former.
Gwen Stefani can wear some pretty out-there stuff some times, but as far as we can remember, she never wore anything from the Bebe Spring 1989 catalogue. We have no idea where Duchess Kors was getting the Stefani vibe.

I just think that Jeffrey has a different etymology in mind for "cocktail" than the rest of us have.
heh. cocktail. yup, anapestic, you hit it.
yyeeeewooooww ~ that look on kookie's face gives me the big fat willies. yikes! i bet he's getting auf in his britches right there looking at those ho "boots."
It's amazing how Michael was telling Kayne (I too miss the Kaynebow already) that what he had planned was too streetwalker yet, he gets auffed and scary jeff gets to stay....Lucy, you got some plaining to do.
Go Jeffey!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL
Style baby! Design! Fierce.
Someone's really gotta take away you two's gay membership. Turn your card's in at Wal-Mart.
Jeffery makes the word "cocktail" ah... two words...but then what can you expect from a guy who dresses like he does. If he showed up at a Guns And Roses concert in "Vans" and rhinestone sunglasses they would string him up by his Eiffel Tower necklace.
You could have gone with the more cheesy, cheap laugh "Slutstocking" but nooooo...you just had to go for the full tilt boogie of sophisticated snark: Whorestocking. LMAO. That last photo...priceless!
"That runway's starting to look a little like a convention down by the airport."
ROFL. That was one of the most horrific outfits I've seen this season.
I don't know if i can but i'll try... Here's a link to a Puertorrican newspaper that covered the Runway Finale show on Friday. They got to spend some time backstage and speak with a couple of designers auf'd from this season. Just thought you'd might like it... of course, hoping someone here speaks Spanish ja

Tim Gunn, in his podcast for this episode, specifically said Jeffrey's model looked like she was going to a cocktail party but "...not that kind of cocktail..."
Claro que hablamos español, darling!
Honey, we even speak Ku.
¡Muchas gracias por el artÃculo, India!
Por nada! I'm telling you, this blog has got me addicted. I saw it and first thing I thought was posting it here. Enjoy!
When I look at that outfit, I think of Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas and definitely not Gwen.
Ku? :confused:
Where's the Hai?
The outfit is not THAT bad, but combined with those "boots"... definitely NOT a cocktail outfit.
"Pippi Whorestocking" LOL
How do you guys come up with shit like that? It's freaking hilarious.
"At 12:18 PM, katiecoo said…

It's a made-up language that Nicole Kidman's character speaks in the movie "The Interpreter."
Ohhhhh...ok well I guess I need to get out and see some movies vs. being perched obsessively over your blog. ;)
Pippi Whorestocking - you guys slaughter me.
I liked the outfit for the simple fact that it immediately brought Pat Benetar in all her 80's glory to my mind.
And POOF! I was out on the streets with all the other hookers doing synchronized dance steps and singing "We are strong. No one can tell us we're wrong. Searchin' our hearts for so long..."
As a dancer, I'm surprisingly underwhelmed by his [ab]use of leg warmers.
TALP sure has a knack for making women look fat. Marilinda's legs look like a set of overstuffed BDSM sausages.

Only Jia (and, in this case, Javi)has had to endure more ugly clothes than Marilinda. I can't help but wonder if the words "elegant," "classy" or "sophisticated" were used in the explanation of this challenge, since they were certainly used by the judges. In which case, would Kayne still be in the running if he had just put some white on that dress?
By the way, Gwen Stephani has launched a line of DOLLS! (www.gwenstephani.com) Robert and Jeffrey could collaborate!
"Pippi Whorestocking" and "Thant runway's starting to look like a convention down by the airport" ... HILARIOUS. I need some Angela Keslar Piss Panties now (the fleurchon provide extra absorbency) THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
The leggings cheapened what could have been a decent look if the skirt was a bit longer.
As far as the other hooker look from our Kaynebow, I couldn't help but think Amanda looked like Marcia Cross in the Melrose Place days.
Loving the snark!

okay, I thought this was the weakest of all the challenges yet. They are designers for christsakes, they should do cocktail dresses in their heads to fall asleep at night! other than Laura's I was underwhelmed. Michael's was nice but, I'm sorry Nazri is a goddess of a woman and that made her look like she shopped at Wal-mart, all saddlebags and bad underwear! Kayne was designing defensively so he could almost be excused. Everybody else was muck or worse. Most of those people haven't ever been to a cocktail party. Laura has and has the dresses for it.
Gwen Stefani dresses HIGH CLASS hooker. This is strictly $20 streetwalker wear. Rock and roll? Please. Rock and roll is twenty years out of date. Rock and roll is TIRED. Jeffrey just puts me to sleep. Put him in a time machine back to when Hair Metal was cool and leave the rest of us alone.
See?
This blog has something for everyone.
The anti-Jeff crowd gets to tee off. PR-G fans have yet more to laugh about.
Me? Well, the latter plus more pics of Marilinda. Yum.
Guys? You are just not fair! I can barely comment because I'm laughing my ass off. Her "tootie". Precious.
And can you believe how EASY they were on him???? She looked like she jumped right out of Julia Robert's Pretty Woman closet and all they said was "it looks a little....well a little......cheap" I couldn't believe it. He deserved to be lambasted!!!!! Of course, I hate the Peanut.
HAHAHA!!
I personally thought that Jeff's alleged "cocktail" dress was more like an 80's Space Hooker costume.
Whore Shmore.
Jeffrey just might win this thing kids!
Please, would someone explain to vincent about wearing flip flops!!!!
Unless you are on the beach, very near the beach, or on vacation, there is no way you should wear them. And if your feet are pale, hairy, bony knuckled, and flat, you should never wear them. I have the image of vincent and his wife, their two bassett hounds, and a hot tub. This man is the definition of sketchy.
P.S. guys like him bite their toenails!
I've been to some parties in LA and as a New Yorker, I must say I was suprised that many of the women were dressed in leopard prints,tight short skirts,halter tops, etc. I was in a elegant black above the knee classic spaghetti strap coctail dress, and my friends kept asking why I was soooooooo "dressed up." LA coctail means the same thing 'Networking" but the women,girls put everything on the surface in almost a vulgar way to get noticed by a studio honcho, or press agent,or tv casting director, it's a diffrent set of rules. I hated Jeffreys outfit but he was telling a true story of SOME of those parties...I didn't like the look then, and don't like it now, I'll stick to classic coctail look. Still....I saw whee Jeffrey was coming from.
I meant to say..."some" of the women put everything on the surface.. but I saw where Jeffrey was coming from. Not my favorite look though...
He'll do well in the music world..designing for Pink,Cristina,Others....
Sigh...you people have no sense of propriety. Jeffery's design IS a cocktail dress. I saw many dresses of that style at Suzi's II - a quaint little cocktail lounge in Waco, Texas. I think he could go work for Jacqueline Smith.
"Please, would someone explain to vincent about wearing flip flops!!!!

In California we wear flip flops everywhere... work, parties, school... And we wear them all year round. Especially in SoCal, which is where Vincent lives.
That being said, he is still creepy, and I'm glad he's finally gone!

When I first saw Jeffrey's outfit, I turned to DH and said, "My god, she looks like a Tunnel Whore!" I agree, Laura's was the only cocktail-party worthy dress. Totally fab, especially after her mini-meltdown. Go Laura!
Jeffrey's dress looked like Pretty in Pink meets Crack Whore to me. Totally classless and terribly dated.
Auf with his head!
Alright, I agree if I was in Southern Cal. I would wear them too. But at least I would wear a pair that fit, and wouldn't have my toes sticking out over the edges like dead fingers. He even has yellow nail!!!!
cheese anyone?
Hooker dress aside, those leg warmers were just plain ugly and even made Marilinda look bad, which is hard to do. They totally distracted from the dress as well, and I don't understand why the judges didn't call him on it. He totally got a pass because of his previous two outfits. Kayne WAS robbed - at least his dress looked good from ONE side! Before his runway collection, I just didn't see Jeffrey making women look good.

I just talked to a friend who lives in Malibu. He agrees that out there you should at least wash and take care of your feet before you display them.
His feet look like he was making yogurt with his!
Attention....
Will someone change the title of this blog to "vincent's feet".
Has anyone taken a look at guest-judge Zac Posen's website? Maybe *shudders* Angela and Vincent were on to something. In his Fall '06 collection, looks 3 and 19 are bubble skirts. Look 20 looks like it's got fleurchons on it and 22 could have been Angela's trash outfit. The middle of Look 14 is similar to Vincent's Everyday Woman dress. It's a scary thought.

ok, I bet even bradley, whose goal is to have the deepest toe marks in his sandals, has better feet than Vincent!!!!!
The only thing worse than vincent wearing flip flops, is wearing flip flops with a pair of boxer shorts.....
Pass the barf bag please!!!!!
I live in Southern Calif. and I don't own a pair of flip flops..sorry. I should say ,I'm a transplanted Nyk'er , living in LA and the only time I wore a pair was when I was in Virginia and my sister gave me a pair to use on my trip to las vegas...I used them in the shower in the hotel to prevent athletes foot. Just in case, Fabulous Hotel in Las Vegas though!!!! Flip Flops just seem inappropriate unless maybe your on a picnic at the beach.
I am glad someone sees the light!!!!! About flip-flops that is. Was at a business lunch, and a prospective client walked in with flip-flops on. His toes were nasty. All chipped, and yellow. Please, to all men. Clean your toes. Reading this post I am starting to feel like I am in a gold bond commercial!!!!
God, just love reading you guys - so clever and smart and all the cool references - like Dennis Miller, only gay! I'm proud I can just keep up. Jeff's a sober guy, right - but they do say that the age you started abusing a substance is the age you are mentally when you stop. So Jeffrey is...12? When he's nasty I just picture him in short pants sticking his tongue out and wagging his hands by his ears. I think his dress would work at a keg party in 1984, not any cocktail party I've ever experienced!
His crap-stirring, mom-bashing, trash-talking, holier-than-thou bullsh*t attitude is merely the cover for his lack of talent and vision...this rock and roll-meets-Japanese schoolgirl nonsense has been done many times over...
Ugh, some people are just so much less irritating when they're still hitting the bottle/bong/crackpipe. He probably is tolerable when he's face down in a puddle of his own sick.
(My animosity is perhaps fueled by the "asshole edit" he received, but the producers can't magically add what wasn't already lurking under the surface!)
How the hell did they get those "whorestockings" on her legs???? They look sewn on. Poor girl...I hope she was able to get them off.
Give me Kayne's "tacky" anyday over Jeffrey's streetwalker.
I hate getting old.
Jeffrey's a nasty snot, but the fashion world is NOT Nice, who are we trying to fool. Naomi Campbell, Anna Wintour all at the Top of their game or have reached it, not necessarily nice, but talented. I just think Jeffrey's big mistake was insulting and berrating someone's mother, it shows totally lack of respect for people. Jeffrey crossed a line that wasn't necessary. People try to compare him to SANTINO, NO not even close, SANTINO had wit,he could be cutting, but he totally swooned and complimented any guest woman, he went off on Nina "TRUE" but hey that's part of the game or his defense. I just think JEFFREY doesn't know WHEN to chill out on the anger and SANTINO did. Jeffrey is probably really afraid of women. Maybe he was secretly attracted to Angela and it was tourturing him, so he lashed out, he's a confused puppy. He reminded me of the guy who pulls the girls pigtails on the playground, but doesn't realize it's because he's attracted to her.
Vincent's flip flops: $12.99
Vincent's Robert Palmer Video Girl Design:$100.00 worth of fabric
Seeing Vincent get kicked off two weeks in a row: Priceless!
you guys are amazing. I watch the same show you do at the same time you do. yet I miss so many of these scenes.
I wait anxiously for your posts after a show!
my only complaint is that it takes so long to feed my addiction of PRungay!
"I can't stop looking at her tootie. It's blowing my doors off."
Oh STOP, you guys, STOP! You're killing me, I'm laughing like a psycho here in my boring corner of the corporate world, and people are looking at me all weird! (Come to think of it, kind of like Vincent is staring at the bottom of that poor girl's skirt. Like he's not sure what the deal is but if he looks away he might get bit by something unforseen.)
Anne
Tootie? Awesome. Next it will be her coolie.
"Duchess Kors" made me laugh aloud.
lol
