Korto says that she is nervous because there's nothing safe about a red sequined dress in the size that she's making it, with flames shooting off of it. The judges are going to hate it or love it. Stella says that Jerell's outfit is very classy, problem is -- none of these broads is classy. They wear a ton of tacky shit most of the time. Tim enters and asks everyone if they are ready for the most fabulous runway show in the history of Project Runway. They are. There's a lot of commotion on the way out of the workroom and we hear Tim say, "Flotsam and jetsam everywhere." We can find that special someone for him.
On the runway, Heidi introduces Michael, Nina, and RuPaul. Yes, RuPaul! Now, I love me some RuPaul. But, we have to talk. The blonde wig is making a girl's age SHOW. It's time to try something a little softer. She looks so drawn right now. It's like when someone puts lipstick and a wig on their hand and it's a puppet. Heidi reminds us that the challenge will be to help Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. She also reminds everyone that this challenge was their chance to be theatrical and over-the-top.
The show begins with Kenley's gown for Farrah Moans. It's a floor length silver sequined number. There is a fan of black and white feathers that frames her face and creates a lot of drama. It's pretty, but just a tad obvious and boring. I like the silver though. Kenley says that it looks like liquid silver and is very Old Hollywood. She says that Farrah Moans is in heaven. It's exactly what she wanted.
Here we have Miss Understood in Blayne's outfit. It's a sleeveless mini dress. There are panels of blue and pink sequins running vertically on the dress. There is a black vinyl waistband and there is also a smaller strip of black vinyl at the bottom of the dress. She's wearing pink gloves with black wrists. On the back of the dress, there are two neon pink, triangular wings. There is multi-colored fringe hanging off of the wings. It's actually pretty interesting, but one of the wings is totally flaccid and it's throwing off the look. Blayne says that he's upset about the wing because he doesn't want the judges to think that it's shoddy craftsmanship, which it clearly is.
Next up is Varla Jean Merman. It's a pepto pink cat suit in shiny material. There are three-quarter sleeves. The collar is in the nautical style that they had discussed. There is a matching belt that falls low on Varla's hips and there are matching cuffs on the sleeves. The pants are bellbottoms. Joe says that he knew Varla was happy in the garment and it seems absolutely true. She prances out there like the prettiest girl in the world.
