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!

"clearly not in the Banana Republic style"?
Do they have a court jester department in the back? Does any clothing store? I'd dust w/ that dress, that's it's only use.
"Fugly" doesn't even cover it.
Starr's from Strawberry Shortcake land. Let's hope she stays there.
Props to the PRGayBoys for another amusing post!
""Starr, honey? Seriously, you have to go."
OH. MY. GOD. The whole thing is hilarious, guys!!
I cannot stop laughing, but I have to say that I did feel bad for her.
Remember this was only the third Aufing ever. That BR judge, in fact all of them, were looking like "jeez, this going to be a terrible gig, killing off these nutjobs like this".
the last picture has a lot of hands going on.
re: the last picture:
It's the laying on of hands at a Fundi prayer meeting. (Fundi = Fundamentalist Christian)
Another excellent post!
I don't find her designs the least bit appealing. They just seem too gimicky to me.
We kept waiting for them to put her in a boat, set it on fire and watch her drift down the Hudson.
So. effin' awesome!
LOL!
Starr was always so fragile that you knew her eventual Auff'ing was gonna be horrible. It was like some kidnapped her puppy & made her watch a tape of it in a dog fighting ring. She's like a sad orphan on Xmas.
"We kept waiting for them to put her in a boat, set it on fire and watch her drift down the Hudson."
ROFL. Genius! You guys never fail to make me laugh my ass off.
Poor Starr, I felt so sorry that she was so nervous and almost self-defeating.
It was very hypocritical of Kevin to hug her after the way he treated her and trashed her dress. He's an asshole.
Kevin = Ted Bundy of the closet. If only he had the courage to kill. Instead, he'll have to settle for copping an elbow feel on cute, ridiculous, little Starr.
Starr was so fragile and timid, she would have not lasted past the third episode anyway. However I have looked at the story about her you guys linked to, and she seems to be doing pretty well for herself, you go you pasty emotional goth chick you!
Hee hee, looks like Starr's in a support group.
"Hello, my name is Starr...and I'm a fashion victim!! WAAHHH!" Hugs all around!

That needy whiny little girl didn't have the strength, talent, or stamina to withstand justful criticism.
She got the wrong holiday down and designed a lovely Halloween outfit. A tall witches hat would have completed this freakish ensemble.
No wonder most of could not remember Starr just a few short months after she left the show. We didn't even notice her when she was on. (Except for the fountains of tears, of course.)
How did this woman ever get through law school?
I'll be they developed a whole new set of application questions after her appearance. They'll have to add a few more this year after Vincent.
That is NOT Banana Republic, that and the skirt makes it almost look dowdy. The point of a harlequin was to be sexy. Forget it with that hem.
Bye bye Meep.
You could have stayed longer if you had any, ya know, talent.
*meep"
What was so tragic was that Starr gloated that she was a Banana Republic shopper, she just KNEW what they wanted... I wonder if she still shops there...
No, she's not dying. But she might be melting into a pile of Rankin-Bass clay.
Dears, you forgot to mention Kevin's little hair clip in the last picture.

"And a white Elvis belt???"
LOL. Too funny. What's up with that?
I HATED this dress. It's like a freaking Halloween costume.
Banana Republic's customer? Hell no.
Art Deco? Yeah, on acid.
Robert's outfit was also a joke, but this one was definitely the worst.
"Thankfully, the gigantic healing hands off Austin were there to soothe the pain."
ROFL. You guys are very funny. You guys make me want to buy the DVDs.
oh! i didn't even notice that little hair clip! hmm...
is he really stright?
Well, I mean who was surprised that the woman with strawberry ovaries would have a rough time designing for Banana Republic.
As much as she claimed she shopped there, it HAD to be for her work attire. She probably designed her own train wreck creations to wear the rest of the time.
That being said, she always did seem to be one step away from a nervous breakdown the whole time she was on the show. Maybe that was her *strategy*
Well it didn't work *HA HA!*
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
From a practical standpoint, this dress (really a costume) would be a nightmare. I can imagine getting its ends trapped or snagged on a number of handles or projections, or ripped off when it got caught in a car door.

Oh my, don't I know it?? I had a skirt that was made in this fashion that I actually wore for Halloween a couple of years ago. It got caught in doors, and even caused me a pretty embarrassing moment.
I was getting up from a chair and one of the little flaps actually got caught on the chair. I was a little on the tipsy side at the moment. I ended up square on my ass on the floor laughing my ass off, congratulating myself for wearing underwear fit to be seen in public.
GOOD GRIEF! that last photo? it's a HEALING! Dayum, y'all have never told us that the whole cast of Season I were wild eyed rolling in the aisles southern style churchies!
Seriously, that is exactly what it looks like in those services, even down to the expression on Austin's face (priceless).
And the dress? . . . certain type of eccentric Southern woman with money to burn and a passion for expressing herself loving her clothes.
Um . . . well. Yeah, where's this girl's website?
Big Ass Southern Belle
and HELP MIKE JONES!
This post is so funny. You guys are hilarious.
Austin has total man-hands! Oh wait...
Some people just suck having to throw together clothes under those circumstances. She seems to be doing pretty well for herself.
It was nice to see her not cowering in fear with those big Bambi eyes of hers in the photo accompanying the linked article.
Those last shots are hilarious.
"those big Bambi eyes"
LOL.
I hate to admit but I do like the dress. It's clearly not in the Banana Republic style, but it's not hideous.
I hope *meep* has had a square meal or two since her PR days. I was more scared she'd faint on the runway than I was blindsided by her wretched designs.
"Starr, honey? Seriously, you have to go."
Hilarious post!
