Project Runway Season 8 - Epi 9: IVY..."I'M SORRY...THAT MEANS YOU ARE OUT"
47Mean Girl Goes Bye-Bye...
IVY AND THE MERMAID
In my first ever Hub (yay, I'm a Hubber) I mentioned the "Wretched 3". And I also said that my key objective was that Ivy would go before Michael. Mission Accomplished! Yes, it's a little catty but this woman has beeen so MEAN to Michael this entire season that I am just glad that she's gotten the boot. Sorry. For someone who is to be a seamstress demigod she really brought out a poorly constructed garment. That bustline is just weird on both pieces and the color choice reminds me of a diuretic. Where is the Pepto Bismol when you need it? SMH. I don't mind the color of the overlay but the rest was NOT cute. To be honest, it really WAS a tossup between Valerie and Ivy because Valerie's second garment was a HOT MESS! She could've easily gotten the boot herself.
The designers in the Bottom Three in Episode 9 was: Ivy (The Mean Girl), Valerie (Flaky Spacey Girl) and Michael (one of the fan faves). Michael was in the bottom because he created a train that kept on chugging. Don't do that again, Michael! His second garment was too much boob AND leg. I'm surprised he didn't catch that after winning the Bridesmaid challenge because that's why he won. He had massive amount of leg but he kept the boobage to a minimum.
Valerie has been taking a nosedive since Episode 5--she is getting tackier by the week. If she don't pull something out amazing next week...the Wretched 3 will only have one wretch. Gretch the Wretch as I so LOVINGLY call her. SMH.
Ok, stay focused ONYXX...Uh, yes...So it was made clear that Ivy really doesn't have much style. Her color choices have been suspect all season and when she brought out Ariel the Mermaid, I knew it was a wrap. She did very well in the Jackie K challenge last week and turned around and bit off WAY MORE than she could chew. As someone so eloquently put it, she sews far better than she designs.
In the end, I sure hope Ivy realizes by now that she was NOT better than Michael C. The world certainly does know it.
Smooches-
Onyxx!
