Project Runway Recap: Cirque du So Gay

Mila captured the essence of the circus while remaining true to her own aesthetic, meaning she used neon bolts of fabric and a wall of black and white stripes. Bitchin', right?! Right. Another colorblocked frightfest from Smirk du Solieil. It's tailored, sure, but it's also difficult to look at, with each line sharper than a Louise Brooks haircut. We'll assume that's a loving tribute to herself Maya.

Jay

Straight up, now tell me -- do you really want to rouse MC Skat Kat from his 20-year coma with this bandleader jacket, Jay? I worship at the medicine cabinet tabernacle of Paula Abdul too, but God -- this garish ensemble is giving me a case of the Cold-Hearted Snakes. Nice try with that Michael Jackson comparison, Anthony and Mila, but the baggy leggings Jay paired with that blazer are pure vibeology.

Emilio pretends that Tim Gunn doesn't understand him, or his insight, or his stank frowns. They never do, Emilio. But the conductor-hatted misanthrope ended up doing exactly as Tim suggested by adding streams of color (specifically, primary red) to the bust. And voila -- Michael Kors called it his favorite dress of the season. I can't argue with that, but I can say the effect of this dress is stifled thanks to Jay's stellar hardware store look from a couple months ago. But delicious nonetheless. I'm wearing it to my next pageant for demure harlequins.
