--Shirin Almost Had a Cher Moment: Her client wanted Cher, but my Persian Princess Shirin Askari decided to nix the peacock feathers and do some Trapunto-like stitching instead--and it worked out. The judges loved it. But part of me still wished to see a Native American Cher a la Bob Mackie.

--I'm afraid for Christopher Straub: I give him props for being "self taught", but his design aesthetic seems to be faultering unfortunately. I didn't necessarily love his Bustle Prom Dress with a Back Bib (Costume Challenge), then he had that dress Michael Kors called a "Disco Pumpkin" (Macy's INC Challenge) and now a Hefty bag tied at the waist? The design did remind me of Dolce and Gabbana Fall '07, from THREE years ago! But I still really like him. I'm a sucker for the tears.
--I loved Carol Hannah Whitfield's and what she did to that tulle, but yes, Gordana Gelhausen rocked it this week!
