Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT When did "capelets" become all the rage?
By Miss Alli | Season 2 | Episode 6 | Aired on 10.13.2004
The women head back to the design school and meet with the seamstresses. Sandy gives a snippy little interview about how they asked whether it was necessary to bring the models over, and he told them it wasn't, because they had measurements for them. This is a set-up segment, in case you aren't way ahead of them. Which you should be.
The men finally return with their fabrics to get the clothing going, and then they sit around perusing the models and picking which ones they want. John interviews that they then made the decision to bring the models in to get some measurements, and thus begins your obligatory heh-heh segment about how the guys horndog it all over the models, blah dee blah. John compares it to a beehive, in that all the men were buzzing around the girls. Raj claims that Andy giggled the entire time the women were there, and that he can't remember what he said, because he was "in some sort of chemical haze." Chemical haze? Surely there was a better line there, no? What we do see is Raj speaking German to one of the models, who is speaking German back. Big show-off. At this point in the game, the models seem to be amused by Raj, although Ilse? Not so much. In fact, I would describe her as visibly irritated, which is not what you're going for in a creative type who already looks like she spends a certain amount of time thinking about all the way she could kill someone and make it look like an accident. As the models finally leave, Chris (I believe) chastises the rest of the guys for having "no game." I'll say. Although I'm not sure any level of "game" would have helped, you know, Andy.
In the morning, we find the Apexiennes returning to the design school to admire the fashions they had almost nothing to do with designing. Maria, incidentally, is wearing that striped leather jacket that I know is officially so, so cool, but that I, unsophisticated person that I am, find so, so ugly. Some of the boys in my seventh-grade class had the down jacket version of that in about 1984. I didn't like it then, either. Maria interviews proudly about how "rewarding" it was to see "their designs" created and on the mannequins. Yeah. Because they were like, "Can we do crop pants?" So the clothes are from their designs. Rewarding! She babbles that she can't say anything right now except "fabulous" and "love it, love it, love it." She thinks this is really cute. They all try the clothes on and giggle about how fabulous they are, and eeeeee! Yuck. In other interesting news, their designer wrote up the promotional materials for them, so they didn't even have to do that relatively minor task. Basically, their designer -- quite wisely -- made sure that these dimwits had practically nothing to do with the presentation of this line of clothes. Maria interviews that she knows the buyers will love their line, but she's "not guaranteeing victory," because she doesn't know what Mosaic will do.
