Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. What are we gonna do with you?




The confusion on their faces is priceless. You just know they thought someone sent the model down the runway in the wrong outfit.


It's practically impossible to critique this outfit. Like sending a food critic to McDonald's. What can you say other than "It's a postal uniform"? Of course that's not entirely true. It's THE postal uniform. As in, the one that already exists. She even used the exact same colors and fabrics. Is there a creative bone in her body?


Wait, what? What is going on with those seams? This looks like someone's first sewing project. Actually, it looks like some reanimated corpse sewing project. Frankensewing.

Stern Daddy drew the short straw and the producers shoved him through the workroom doors to stage an intervention.

Look how gingerly he's handling that shoe. As if someone just died wearing it or there's still a foot in it.

Just once, we'd love to see Tim throw caution and diplomacy to the wind.

"I tried. She's tacky and talentless and she shouldn't even be here. What do you want from me?"

Meanwhile, Tim's little intervention awoke every personality flaw in her psyche - and they woke up hungry and screaming.

To the sheer delight (mixed with horror) of her competitors, Wendy has now become completely indistinguishable from the piss-covered crazies wandering the streets.


Someone's obviously getting strangled in the little scenario playing in her head. We just love the irony of her pacing back and forth, trying to come up with a way to defend the ugly shoes, while wearing...UGLY SHOES! Wendy, you are so metatextual.

Her outfit was so awful and her conduct was so crazed, that at this point I wondered: Why is she still there?

Can't wait for tonight's viewing.

Oh my God, I'm laughing so hard I'm CRYING! "Stern Daddy drew the short straw so they shoved him through the door..." - you guys KILL me!

And you can just SEE Kara & Jay wondering whether it would be okay to laugh, you know? Because if she's really crazy you can't exactly laugh, except that it's too hysterical! Unless of course there's the ugly possibility that she's going to kill you in your sleep.

God would I so NOT want to be sharing a loft with her.

ROFL. You guys are hilarious!!
What annoys me about Wendy is that she is so damn busy plotting and scheming and calculating everything else that the creation of an INNOVATIVE and CREATIVE garment is the last thing on her mind.

Wendy....bringing the crazy as per usual.
Season One wouldn't have been any where near as fun to watch if she wasn't in it.
Can you believe she is someone's mother?
Poor kid.
Wonder if she calls her Finley Darling.

seeing Wendy's outfit again, makes me wonder why she wasn't auffed instead of Robert. Yes, Robert's outfit was not very well construed but it definitely looks more creative than hers. her only "original" (sic) idea was the red shoes! and we know that didn't come from her. it is ridiculous!

Bean said...

nice wedgie.

Bill said...

I recall really liking Wendy when we watched this season during its original run.

After all your wonderfully incisive blogging I find myself wondering what it was that I saw to like in her - did I pity her? did I feel she was being ganged up on? - I find nothing remotely redeeming about her now.

What was going on with me last year? The scariest thought of all is that maybe I am just as crazy and deluded as her and found her sympathetic because I saw myself in her.

Nah....must have been the wine we always drank while watching the show.

That blouse! Reminds me of 7th grade home ick and the crazy blouse we had to sew with the darts. But that was 1965 not just a few years ago.

As for not getting auf'd - didn't the client find something about the outfit that she liked compared specifically to Robert's blouse? As bizarre and unoriginal as Wendy is - her total lack of imagination served her well during the challenges. She simply followed directions exactly and kept hanging on.

barnaby - still laughing at that blouse

What stuns me about this outfit is the fact that it made Melissa, who has a bod handcrafted by the gods on a day when they awoke feeling particularly generous, look dumpy.
THAT ladies and gentlemen, is a true feat of engineering of the worst kind.

And I ADORE this whole post.
"I tried. She's tacky and talentless and she shouldn't even be here. What do you want from me?" Priceless!

DolceLorenzo said...

"What do you want from me?"

Hahahaha. OMG, that's funny! Tim looks hot in that picture.

I love when Wendy says that she had no problem with the original design. WTF?

I see Wndy on the streets, rolling marbles in her hand and talking to herself like Captain Queeg. "Yes, I see it all now. First it was the mustache on the picture. They were crafty and I never caught them. Now the quart of strawberries are missing from the craft service table in the breakroom. It must have been Jay with a duplicate key."

I don't mind so much her plotting and scheming and all that, after all, it is a competition and people do that all the time. But the woman has no talent!!

"Someone's obviously getting strangled in the little scenario playing in her head." LOL.

Gorgeous Things said...

No Dolls, I have walked down 7th Avenue along that block. She's definitely uglier than the piss covered crazies. And her clothes are worse.

This ep really gives you the dynamic power that is the duo of Jay and Kara Saun. I really wish the two of them and Austin had their own show. Kara would be the voice of reason, Jay would be the voice of crazy and Austion would just be the Lady. Perfection.

She's obviously practicing how she's going to strangle Nina Garcia! I wish she had strangled Anne Slowey, instead.

ROTFL!!! I'd pay good money to hear those words come out of his mouth.

Still my favorite, boys: "Designers, you have 15 minutes. Please shove anything you're holding down your pants and head for the nearest exit."

The giant shapeless bag is perfect for carrying the hacked up body of Wendy's strangulation victim to its disposal site. Judge or fellow contestant?

La Loca said...

That shirt looked like something an 8-year-old would make for their Barbie doll. Well, at least she did make a good villian and paved the way for other crazies.

And damn I miss Melissa! Even more than I miss Crazy Morgan!

Anonymous said...

Melissa is fabulous even when she has to wear crap like that.

Lisette said...

but that outfit would look so great on my mailman, Al Albano.

jinxy said...

I don't know if Melissa is standing all wonky, but now that I look at it, the pockets on that shirt are not evenly placed...

Really amateurish step at this stage of the game if you ask me...

I hate this bitch and if she's not out "tonight" I'll be VERY pissed!

NOOOO, don't tell me!! First-time watcher here! : - )

Love you, boys!

Anonymous said...

Oh lord you girls are so right. She's just trying to make good TV not necessarily good clothes. AUSTIN FOR TOP THREE GODDAMNIT! At least he could make SOMETHING nice!

Anonymous said...

Wendy's was definitely the worst this time. Darn you, Nina Garcia, for picking this challenge to decide that Robert had no business being there--that could have waited for one more challenge.

I wish the judges would make up their minds--and stick to it--whether they're really judging each challenge in isolation or whether they'll take prior challenges into account in deciding who gets the auf. I could live with either choice, but I hate it when they go back and forth.

What a fun blog this is : )

THAT is precicely why she is still there.

She has been cukoo for Cocoa Puffs all through this season, but this ep is where she started to channel Baby Jane Hudson.

the postal lady actually liked the pockets along the waist of the shirt, Robert's was completely unrealistic with regard to storing keys or mace.

That said, she CRAZY!

Hey,I'm starting a blog where we watch reruns The View and invite all ou dedicated readers to watch along with me and make snide little remarks about Barbara, Rosey, and all the others that bother to show up.

My blog address is www.getarealjobandlife/blogspot.

I hope to see you all around.

TLo said...

Hi Wendy! I mean Alec! Listen we're also starting something up. It's a support group for people so consumed by their own anger that they fail to realize that if they don't like something, they should stop exposing themselves to it. You up for the first meeting? Bring snacks!

What's the point in watching reality TV if you can't make and/or read snide comments on someone's blog?

You boys are a hoot! (I already ordered Season #2!)

I have to agree with you there. It's not that I SOO liked her, I just didn't understand why everyone hated her. However, in my defense, this season originally aired when my daughter was 2 years old, and that whole year for me was touch-and-go. Other mothers who have survived a 2-year-old will understand.

I'm not backing down from my stance on Kara Saun though. There's just something in her personality that just turns me off. She's just a little know-it-all, little-miss-perfect, goody-two-shoes. And way too falsely modest when people gush over her. Learn to take a compliment dear.

I love her clothes. I just don't think I ever warmed to her like I did with Laura. I think it is because while Laura was confident, she was open and honest. No two-facedness and hypocrisy.

Ugh, notice how the pockets don't even match up - very Home Ec!

SassyGinger said...

Is it just me or is it a liiiittle scary that Wendy is actually wearing a pair of scissors around her neck?

I mean I know its for convience purposes but oh man, one wrong move and she can just stab someone in the back...literally!
