Project Runway Episode Five

In what may have been the best challenge yet, the designers get to makeover the favorite outfits of everyday women who have lost serious amounts of weight – we’re talking anywhere from 48- to, yikes, 160-lbs. Natch, the women, with their new and improved bods, want to flaunt it but their old duds are giant frights ranging from a scary, beaded polyester wedding gown, to an atrocious evergreen moo-moo.

Finally, kvetchy Christian nails the win with his fab remake of a black shirt and jeans. Guest judge, the talented Patrick Robinson, who hails from the likes of Giorgio Armani, Perry Ellis and Paco Rabanne, and is now is the head of design at the Gap, raves calling it "young and cool." Of course, Christian always has something outrageous to say. In this episode, he tells his client who has a less than ample derriere, “I’m not a miracle worker lady. I can’t make you have an ass.”

Steven is, uuucch, deservedly the biggest loser. He calls his client’s bad wedding gown “death on a stick.” He produces a grim frock made of black fabric that he purchases and then trims with bits of the dress. The judges describe the transformation as taking a joyful wedding dress and turning it into something a French maid would wear…to a funeral. It is really a dog, so goodbye to you, Steven.

The real loss on the show revolves around Jack, who, announced last week that he was HIV-positive, and this week gets sick with a raging staph infection that distorts his normally beautiful face. It’s beyond sad, and, there is a bit of cheap shot editing. That said, the show salves the pain by bringing back the fun, fabulous and yes, fat Chris. He understands the plight of the women because he has done his share of yo-yo dieting. Unfortunately, his inner costume designer cannot be tamped down and he designs a sailor suit that almost sinks like a stone on the runway.

Sexual innuendo of the night comes, remarkably from the dignified Tim Gunn. He urges Chris, who has to work through the night, to get his design elements down before sewing. “I’ve made more bad decisions at three in the morning than I can list.” Chris cracks up and others call out, “I want names.” Tim, embarrassed, says, “I really am an old fart. I didn’t even think of that.”

Victorya is soulless and isn’t even nice to her client. Ricky weeps . . . again. His client vaguely reminds us of Adriana on the Sopranos. Kudos to Kevin who makes his client looks like, “one of Charlie’s Angels.” As for our girl Jillian: great dress, but she didn’t use her client’s old clothes, replacing them with fabric of the same color. Michael Kors called it, “impeccable.” If she followed directions, she might have taken it.

I think Chris's outfit would have been fly without the red, cheesy fabric weaved throughout the skirt. Bummer--he'll probably go home AGAIN soon.

Thought this was the best show to date! Loved Christian's re-make, in fact, it is something I would love to wear (and I won't even tell you how old I am...). But Steve, what was he thinking...perhaps he wasn't...Loved the way the judges took it from wedding to funeral--right on target. On to next week. Let's hope that Chris will get back on track.

Steve's dress was a dog and he deserved to lose. And Tim Gunn's comment was a little dicey. As for Chris...oops he did it again. Jack - hope you come back next season.

Great show. I admit that the weight loss gimmick makes me think of "Biggest Loser" meets "Next Top Model" meets "nip tuck" and in Tim Gunn's case, meets "Queer Eye." I think it played out correctly in terms of who won/lost/almost died and I really hope that the contest will revolve around the work and not the back stories. I think the show hit a high water mark and hope it can keep the momentum.

2019.10.17台北知名酒店經紀可靠依據大爆料:接獲翁子涵的跨國酒店工作性交易(賣淫)案,指她9年前未成年時就開始接客,當時她處女膜未突破,賣相很好的極品。知名酒店經紀透露,當時透過管道持有假護照、假證件的出國酒店打工翁子涵處女膜未(開苞)開出第一次性交易金額高達27萬元的價碼,非常受歡迎各大企業名人老闆現場開價,最終以新台幣27萬元成交。後續翁子涵變身通告藝人以及展場女郎,慢慢轉型酒店兼差私下自己接S陪睡(性交易)1晚要價新台幣10萬元,只是2015年她被警方跟監逮捕,法院判決「圖利媒介性交罪」,分布在當年3月、5月與9月:來自澳門、台中的知名人物每次支付仲介新台幣14萬至20萬元不等,翁子涵則分得10至15萬元。酒店經紀透露,2018年翁子涵又再度下海在國外酒店兼職外傳金額談得好可以而外售後服務,如:顏射(精子射在臉上) 、口交口爆(精子射在嘴裡) 、戴套肛交進行交易,可見圈內是有知名度,怕在台灣賣淫會被爆料。翁子涵的心歷過程,某種程度也還算勵志。
