Episode Report Card Jeff Long: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Eye Candy
By Jeff Long | Season 4 | Episode 6 | Aired on 01.01.2008
Kit says that everyone is having a lot of fun with this challenge. Chris holds two red pillow things to his head and says that he's Pippy Longstocking. Wow, those were good times. Tim enters and says broadly that there is a lot of great stuff.
It turns out that Jillian is the only person who will be using edible products in her design. The minute she saw the Twizzlers she knew what her design would be. She wants to shape the candies into a bodice. Sounds absolutely delicious!
Sweet P is using teddy bears and feels guilty for ripping them apart. The mannequins are like, "Murderer!" She says that she's going to break ceramic stuff and glue it to the waist of her dress. She asks Chris if he thinks it will work, and he tells her to test it. That's a little sad that he'd have to tell her that. Sweet P, rev those synapses, we got to get going. Also, she's going to glue teddy bear carcases to the skirt of her dress to create a print. Watch out for PETS, People for the Ethical Treatment of Stuffies. They will throw cotton candy all over that shit. Your day will be ruined.
Christian says, "I work very instantaneous," thus continuing his flirtation with verbal specialness. He says working so instantaneous usually is successful for him because he has a very strong style. He follows up his stupid with a lot of sense, though. He is gluing unwrapped ReesEE Peanut Butter cup wrappers to his dress, and he lost count of how many he's using. He thinks it's near a thousand.
Chris is making a Stephen Sprouse pop-art dress. He loves his idea and knew what he wanted to do immediately. He notes that "people" (read: Jillian) are having problems with the real food. He repeats his feelings about working with real food. It's like real food is his pets and children -- Chris March does not work with real food. Jillian is having a hard time cutting candy. Rami thinks that she's taking a risk working with candy. He says that he's using things that he can sew together. He's using York Peppermint Patty material and purse handles.
With 7 hours left in the day, we see Elisa say that when she was in the store, she chose items that she thought her daughter would want her to use. She interviews that she wants it to be a fairy tale themed design, in honor of her daughter Calliope who, she interviews, insisted that she try out for Project Runway. She tells us that three years ago, she had gotten the opportunity to launch a t-shirt line in London. On her last day there, she got hit by a Porsche! Oh my God. Her neck was broken, her head was cracked open almost 4 inches, and she was in a coma for five days. Holy shit. She was in the hospital for three months!! That's some serious shit. And it reminds me of crossing the street in London and remembering that I was looking the wrong way for oncoming traffic. I wonder if that's what she did. She sees Project Runway as a way of reclaiming that earlier opportunity.
