Ooooh, Miss USA! She's from Tennessee (oy, is she ever from Tennessee!)! She's cute! And southern! And going to wear the winner's dress at Miss Universe!
I of course immediately thought that Kayne had a massive advantage. I appreciated that he didn't start crowing - he was very reserved and actually seemed a bit ... cowed? overwhelmed? by the challenge.

- Jeffrey & Alison: Blah. Yeah, Jeffrey designs for rockstars. And this looks like it was designed for a rockstar. Which Miss USA is not.
- Kayne and Robert: I was thrilled when Kayne chose Robert to work with him. I just thought on an instinctive level that they would make a good team. The product was beautiful. I didn't love the fit on the model, and I wasn't big on the poufs. But that's a matter of taste. The jeweled bits were gorgeous. And Kayne is such an OklahomaFag. I love him.
- Keith & Bradley: Guess what. Keith may be a menswear designer, but the man can make a dress. The bodice wasn't fantastic, but the flow was gorgeous. Loved it.
- Laura and Michael: This dress was class personified. Definitely my favorite of all of them. Definitely more runway than pageant. I think it wasn't ... dramatic enough for a pageant. But it was stunning.
- Malan and Katherine: LOOK, IT'S A GIANT TURD! Enough said. Tim says in the podcast that it looks like fudge. No, Tim, it doesn't, unless you're using fudge in a pejorative way. And sadly we won't get to know if the accent is fake. *sigh*
- Uli and Bonnie: Also beautiful, in many of the same ways that Keith and Bradley's dress was beautiful. Love the twisting details on the halter and the belt.
- Vincent and Angela: Vincent and Angela. Oy. M and i were split on this whole thing. I thought the conflict was largely V's fault. M thought it was largely A's fault. I don't know. Tim's take on it on the podcast is really interesting - I recommend listening to it. I actually didn't hate the dress (though it had a lot of construction problems). The epaulets were a bit much, but I liked the simple lines, I liked the color, I liked the jeweled broach at the cleavage. But MAN is Vincent a total nutter! COMPLETELY FREAKING INSANE!

Date: 2006-07-20 04:15 pm (UTC)Truthfully, I was kind of disappointed that both V and A weren't booted. Yeah, Malan's dress was the ugliest. But I'm still trying to figure the guy out, and didn't want to see him gone so soon.
I'm so happy for Kayne. It wasn't my favorite dress (your comments echo my thoughts pretty much exactly), but winning this challenge is a bigger deal for him than for the other designers. If he ends up continuing in the pageant design field, having designed for Miss USA has got to be huge for him.
