Carol Hannah is still my fave

November 23, 2009

I’m sorry if you don’t watch Project Runway. Not sorry that this post will bore you, just sorry that you’re missing out on Tim’s wittiness and Heidi’s mispronunciation of words.

So, was anybody else confused at the outcome? I went into it knowing that Irina was bound to win but after I saw the collections and heard the judges comments, I thought one of the other two would be crowned. This is what I was hearing:

3011
“Hi everyone. I was a little t.o.ed back stage but now things are just dandy. All except Heidi’s choice in outfit.”
23_0
Michael Kors: “Why all the black Irina? And the armor concept has so been done. Not much originality girl. Snarky, snarky, snarky.”
“Oh so pretty Carol Hannah. That first gown was just gorge.”
“Love the sports wear Althea. Heidi would wear most of it straight out of the tent.”
Nina Garcia: “Ditto.” (except with a slight snarl)
Guest judge whose name I can’t remember: “I tried the Garnier hair tutorial and it just went horribly wrong.”
4676
“Irina, you are the winner of Project Runway.”

What the what? Did I miss something? Did they just edit it to steer us into believing Irina was going to get booted? I mean, her collection was well done but she was so not Miss Congeniality. I just wish Carol Hannah won. At least now she can focus on marrying Logan and opening a shop together with pretty gowns and slouchy hats.

    I LOVE this post.
    I hope that Carol Hannah and Logan do get married and build a fashion empire.
    Irena was a meanie.
    That guest judges hair was STRANGE.

    hugs,

    Did I miss something? Did Logie & CH have something going on, or are we just wishful thinking here? ;)

    I LOVED Carol Hannah's collection; that 13th look was to die for! I was rooting for her all the way. I'll never understand why they always choose the bitchy fashionistas – why can't a good, wholesame (and equally talented) designer win?!?!

    Totally!! I wanted Carol Hannah to win.

    you had me at confused! ??? i enjoyed your commentary! did the guest judge forget to take the hot roller out of her hair? carol hannah is still my fave too! i like your idea of her and logan getting married. true love.

    poor guest judge. not sure where she came from. one of my fave parts of the night was when Heidi was introducing all of the judges and she went on about how wonderful Michael was, then talked about how beautiful Nina was, then, when she got to her guest judge, she simply said her name. now none of us can remember what it is. ha!

    carol hannah is the best. love her gowns, her sense of whimsy + I'm convinced Tim liked her best too.

    I'd been watching PR online, but sort of lost interest (shame!) Irina is a poo, and I was also on the Carol Hannah train. Such a bummer. The only winner I've really liked is Leanne.

    I completely agree with this post. My husband & I watched it tonight & we were both like, "Wha-?!?" I was SURE Irina wasn't going to win. They totally trashed her. Too bad, she was kind of a beast. I guess it's not about who is the nicest. But still her designs were just okay for me.

    Oh, I know I shouldn't complain 'cause it's been at least three days since the show aired, but I haven't seen it yet! Hahahaha, hooray for "spoilers." I was totally rooting for Carol Hannah, too! Goal for tomorrow (if I have free time): WATCH THE FREAKING SEASON FINALE!

    Also, kids should learn not to ask for women's ages, hah. But I bet kids you teach ask with a cute, wide-eyed look on their face. Can't really say no to that, right? x]

    I can't tell you how happy this post made me! I love Carol Hannah and her not winning made NO sense. I bet if she won they would've shown Logan kissing her.. dang it! Those two better get married.

    Best post ever. EVER!!!!

  • On November 23, 2009 , orange sparrow said:

    Oh, I agree… completely. I wanted Carol Hannah to win so badly. Irina's had too much black and I was not a fan of those helmet/hats. Nina Garcia does love to snarl, but when she said something to the effect of Black does not photograph well for a magazine, and "We talked about this" I thought for sure she was out, but low and behold…

  • On November 23, 2009 , Heather said:

    Carol Hanna is still my fave, too! I know we'll see her work in the near future!

  • On November 23, 2009 , Cole said:

    Carol Hannah was my fave too…I had a feeling halfway through that she wasn't going to win which really bummed me out because Irina was such a meany and Althea was just kinda blah.

  • On November 23, 2009 , Karen said:

    I haven't seen it yet b/c of a tragic dvr issue and Lifetime's lame-o excuse for 'on demand', BUT that Garnier hair tutorial comment was hysterical! And Heidi should have ditched the matching blazer.

  • On November 23, 2009 , Victoria said:

    I don't watch PR (actually it is on tv in the Netherlands, but I think it might be the last season – a bit slow here!). Anyhow, it sounds completely mad. And that outfit on Heidi is just plain awful.

  • On November 23, 2009 , Tiffany said:

    Agreed.
    I was cheering for Carol Hannah!!

    Maybe they thought they should let Irina win so her dad would finally take her seriously. That storyline was definitely pushed…

    you're so funny! and i loved carol hannah too, she was so amazing and adorable!

  • On November 23, 2009 , ~ Maranda @ {Evoke Images} ~ said:

    Great comments! lol you said exactly what I was thinking!

    I had a sneaking suspicion from about half-way through that it might be Irina, but I was rooting for Carol Hannah the whole way! (I was really hoping she and Logan would hook up… I am sure they did actually!)

    I was literally gasping and saying "oh!" everytime one of C-H looks came down the walkway. She has that whimsy and cute/fantastical look. I love her etsy shop!

  • On November 23, 2009 , Whisker Graphics said:

    I totally agree with you! What happened!!?? Carol Hannah is my fave too.

    And the guest judge's hair? A little "Something About Mary" going on there. At least that was the snarky comment at our house.

    I had a dream this weekend that I met Carol Hannah. I woke up angry that I didn't have my camera.

    hahaha "now she can focus on marrying Logan and opening a shop together with pretty gowns and slouchy hats.

    I love this.

  • On November 23, 2009 , Carolynn Cecilia said:

    HaHa! I love witty posts like this. I agree, Carol Hannah should have won {though it is my opinion that all 3 collections were lack luster this season}.

    Thank you for the giggles this morning Ms. Once Upon A Time Fellow Astorian.

  • On November 23, 2009 , Jackie said:

    I have been waiting for your post all weekend so I could comment. What's with Heidi introducing the judges "The beautiful and talented, my most favorite designer, and what's her name." No compliment for her or anything.
    IT was weird.
    Irina totally bugs me. Get a new personality.

    I'm with you. I liked Carol Hannah's best too!

  • On November 23, 2009 , Rachel said:

    Irina was so mean! I wanted her to lose just so she could re-evaluate her attitude. It would have been a learning experience.

  • On November 23, 2009 , It Is Everlasting said:

    "At least now she can focus on marrying Logan and opening a shop together with pretty gowns and slouchy hats." – LOVE IT!!! I, too, wanted Carol Hannah to win, I thought her collection was far superior to Irina's… I did see what they liked about hers though, with the hats, bags, etc… It was all very cohesive.

    i was SO sad carol hannah didn't win too… she was adorable and really nice and really talented.

    also, yeah, what the heck was with heidi's outfit? i remember one of the critique comments during the show being that someone's outfit looked like something hillary clinton would wear. look who's talking heidi! hah!

  • On November 23, 2009 , Carissa said:

    thanks for the witty recap! :) I like Project Runway, but I don't watch it religiously. but I did see a few episodes this season and I liked Carol Hannah too. I think she should have won, most definitely.

    did you see carol hannah's etsy shop? there was a link posted on cup of jo on friday… it IS gorge! :)

    HAHAHA, this made me laugh out loud. Too good about Heidi's outfit and the garnier fructic tutorial… and yes, Carol Hannah most definitely should have won.

  • On November 24, 2009 , girloliver said:

    what the what is right (thank you Tina Fey for an expression that never gets old!)…Of course, I was going for Carol Hannah – have to go for the southern girl. I SO love this post, your color commentary throughout and lastly, yes, I do think they pulled a "Survivor" move and just used clever editing to get us to think she would win. And yes oh yes, Carol Hannah and Logan will be together.

    i think heidi is just giving in to the fact that she looks just like barbie. so. can you really blame her? giant barbie? oh well. i love your blog, by the way. suh-weet.

    ha ha… I love this post. I couldn't agree more.

  • On November 24, 2009 , Marisa Midori said:

    How did I miss the guest judge's hair?! It looks like she should've been guesting on There's Something About Mary.

    I wish Carol Hannah had won, too.

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to keep up with this season. Sounds like it was a good one and you just can't beat the wit of Mr. Gunn! He's one smart cookie. ;0)

  • On November 24, 2009 , alexandra said:

    i heard the same things as you… strange! :) you have no idea the joy this post brought me… speaking to my very soul… haha.

  • On November 24, 2009 , oh, hello friend. said:

    i loved CH's collection – it was beautiful. I'm really surprised irina won… her collection was so black! and those hats! ahhh. fashion and art truly is subjective to all.

    but then again, there were some people that shouldn't have even made it top 5 or 6. like, i would have really liked to see Ramon in the top 3 – i really thought he was a good designer. when christopher stayed on after being in bottom 3 for several weeks, i was about ready to boycott the show. haha.

    who knows how they come to their results for this show.

    i think they should change it to be a voting-style like idol or something! then the best person really would win! ;)

  • On November 24, 2009 , Kelsey said:

    My roommates and I were so disappointed that Carol Hannah didn't win! Her dresses are beautiful! And as for her and Logan… I suppose if I can't marry him, I'd be ok with them getting together…haha :)

  • On November 24, 2009 , kellyhicks said:

    hahaha I so agree with you. um is that 3rd judges hair a new style I am completely missing?? wow. carol hannah should have won.

  • On November 25, 2009 , karen said:

    sigh….me too.

  • On November 25, 2009 , vanessa joie said:

    I was SO surprised Carol Hannah didn't win… I felt jipped!

  • On November 26, 2009 , Q said:

    I thought Carol Hannah should have won too. I know Irina is a talented designer, but her collection was a drab. I liked Carol Hannah's collection way more.

  • On November 26, 2009 , Q said:

    Oh! And the third judge! I couldn't quite understand her fashion…I was wondering why she was there judging fashion…couldn't understand her hair at all (and I'm not saying this in a mean way at all…I'm really just wondering)

  • On November 29, 2009 , Brooke said:

    I so agree with everything you said in this post! :)

  • On November 29, 2009 , Farrah said:

    We need to discuss. I agree – thought Carol Hannah was going to be the winner too, although I did like Irina's collection. Overall though this season was kind of a dud I thought.
