Previously on

Project Runway...

I want you guys to create a look

to go with my sneakers.

I am not happy being here.

I'd rather go.

Then you should go.

You will be working in four

teams of three.

I am not happy about another

team challenge.

Viktor and Olivier, you can

choose anyone that has been

eliminated.

Welcome Josh back to the

competition!

No more playing it safe.

Becky, if you're tired, take

a nap.

Excuse me?

Becky is very emotional

person, which I don't relate to.

Oh, God.

The blouse is like a souffle

Ohh.

There is no confronting you

Yes, you are.

I haven't probably gotten

this pissed since I had cancer.

My God, thank you.

Josh, you are also the

Oh.

Awesome.

Anthony Ryan, you completely

I don't want to be in the

bottom two again.

Yeah.

I think, after the smack down

on the runway, Bert and I have

come to an understanding where

we're just gonna call a peace,

call a truce.

Let's just start over.

Viktor, congratulations on

your team Captain win.

Thank you.

I just worry about what I

have to do today to try not to

be an a*s [bleep] to anybody.

And, um, not to have to make

amends tomorrow when I wake up.

Put our nails away, reow.

Done bitching, now going to

be nice.

So, Becky, how was your first

night in "casa de...Us"?

I was a little nervous about

moving.

It's no secret that I have not

been the fondest of Becky.

But make the best of it.

Thanks for making me feel

welcome.

You're very welcome.

It's a clean slate.

That's the only way to go about

this.

And you're back!

Let's make it a good day.

You gotta make it work this

time.

Back to Parsons.

Well, girls, we have to make

it count.

Okay, so a guy needs to go

home.

Two, if possible.

Hi.

All: Hi.

Are you ready for your next

challenge?

All: Yes.

Viktor and Joshua, you are

the winner of the last

challenge, so you have immunity

and you cannot be eliminated.

[Breathes]

[Laughter]

Well, I'm gonna send you back to

school to further your

education.

For some of you, it's probably

been a while since you've been

in the classroom.

[Laughter]

But I guarantee you, this one

will be worth the extra credit.

Something, we're either

dressing students or we're

dressing teachers.

Tim and some special guests

will meet you at the school

and they will fill you in on all

of the details.

Good luck and see you on the

runway.

Bye, everybody.

All: Bye.

Good morning, designers.

All: Morning, Tim.

Welcome to the Harlem School

of the Arts.

I am delighted to introduce you

to Yvette Campbell, President

and CEO, an Byron McCray,

Director of Visual Arts.

And to these incredibly talented

students who have created these

fabulous works of art.

Working with children.

[Suspenseful music]

♪ ♪

How cute is that?

Designers, for this

challenge, you will be

collaborating on a work of art

with one of these students.

That work of art will serve as

the inspiration for an

avant-garde look that will walk

the runway.

[All murmuring]

You will have two days for this

challenge.

So that's an indication of how

ambitious we want you to be.

All right?

Let's head off to the art

studio.

I'm really excited about this

challenge, because my parents

run a foundation for kids using

the arts as a form of

transformation.

Come on in, everybody.

We randomly selected students

for you for this challenge.

And so this is something

that's very dear to me.

Grab materials, establish a

work space, and start creating

your work of art.

How old are you?

I'm 16.

So what inspires you?

Like, emotional connection.

So that's why I, like, tend to

paint things really simply.

I love kids.

This is gonna be a fun challenge

for me, but I'm sure some of the

designers have their

hesitations.

No...I think we should put

something like bustier-ish.

Okay.

I'm not 100% sure what a

bustier exactly looks like,

but, um...

The student artist I'm

working with is Skyy.

The dress also should have

like a nice silhouette, should

be like fitting.

It's be really pretty.

I don't know if all



like Skyy is.

Do you live around here?

What's your favorite activity?

What was art like for you as a

kid?

I probably would have dealt

better with her if I had a

c*ck with me.

[Laughs] I'm a New Yorker.

Yeah.

But I love her swirls.

It's really beautiful.

She did a good job.

Cool.

I've got a great artist.

His name is Antonio.

He's a very quiet young man.

So we're getting along great,

actually.

Have you been to the

Guggenheim?

Um, no.

You should get there.

If you feel like I'm messing

this up, just say stop.

All right.

"Please stop."

Now that I'm back, this is my

first chance to sort of do my

own thing again and really prove

myself.

That does add a bit more

pressure.

I want to make, like, a

wolf-like head.

Yes!

Like, cape thing.

I'm gonna cry every, single

time they say anything negative

about your work.

I'm just gonna be like, "No,

that's my baby too!"

It has, like, some, like,

galaxy feel to it, you know?

It does! Okay, we're in

outer space.

Can I put in some...

Sure, sure.

Do you usually listen to

music when you work?

Yeah.

What kind?

I like really depressing

music.

How's this thing so far?

Oh, it's fantastic.

In some ways, it looks like the

Earth is crying into itself.

I think I'm gonna be using that.

So why don't bring some

maybe more like blues and

purples and...

They're more like trees on

fire, which I like.

So you're--this is where your

face is going, right?

Yeah...But I'll just start

with, like, very basic one, if

that's okay.

Okay, yeah. No, totally.

The last one was a pretty

tough one.

We had a group challenge, and my

group didn't get along very

well, and that was the first

time I got any negative

feedback.

Failure is opportunity in

disguise.

Failure is opportunity.

I like that. You're so right.

Kai is like a little Dalai

Lama or something.

Maybe that failure, it was

showing you that you need to...

This is what you need to do.

Can I get your phone number

and call you when I get upset?

I love the movement in that.

Yeah.

Our painting is essentially a

self-portrait.

You almost get the sense of

vulnerability.

Our skin fades into the

painting, like we have no

clothes, in a way.

But it's also very empowering.

Hence we both drew crowns on our

head.

Yeah, I could definitely use

some empowerment.

I need a big ol' red crown about

now.

Designers and art students,

your time is up.

I think it's very colorful,

and I love that shoulder.

Red is coming out.

Mm-hmm.

This is so good.

I love this.

Sasha, you can really rock

this out.

Yeah, this is gonna be a

really tough challenge.

Yeah, it is for all of us.

Students, thank you so much.

[Cheers and applause]

Bye, everybody!

Thank you.

All right, everyone, you have 30

minutes to sketch a design for

your avant-garde look, then

we're going shopping at mood.

Okay? Good.

I'm never having kids.

[Laughter]

Oh, My Lord of the Rings.

Well, I kind of want to do

something very organic, airy,

almost goddess-like.

It's cubist, it's primitive.

I feel that this challenge is a

good opportunity for me to do a

totally different silhouette.

When I started with the

competition, I felt like I stood

at a good place, second

challenge I won.

And then I sort of got lost.

Recently, I found I'm sort of

confused more than ever.

This is like the challenge

and I'm, like, working with a

tree.

I am not organic.

I like things that are fake.

[Laughter]

What the hell is inspiring on

this canvas?

A horizon and a tree and the

roots.

These red and oranges and

yellows, fire and possibly

burnt.

I'm sweatin' this!

I can't--I'm gonna work with it,

but...What are you doing with

yours?

It's just gonna be a new

dress that I am taking colors

from the painting and actually,

physically making them look like

brush strokes.

I think the most important

part, the inspiration, is taking

more of the emotions and the

feelings from the work and not

doing something too literal.

Designers, let's head off to

mood.

Thank you, Harlem School of the

Arts.

All: Thank you.

All right, designers, your 30

minutes starts...Now.

Mood definitely the trickiest

part of the challenges.

'Cause once you leave Mood,

there's no going back.

How much is this one?

$30?

How much is this one?

$40?

Aah! Are you guys worth that?

It's a really big deal to

calculate yardage, 'cause an

avant-garde look, you need a

lot of yardage.

I'll take 12 yards of this.

Can I get 15 yard of that?

I need four yards of this,

four yards of this, and four

yards of the tulle as well.

Sure.

I will be back.

I've selected quite a lot of

chiffon.

I've never worked with chiffon

before, and hopefully, that will

translate more to a avant-garde

garment rather than just a

pretty dress.

Loving.

You're not getting fur, are

you?

[Whimpers]

'Cause we're fur free.

I can get faux fur?

Yeah.

Okay, then we're on track.

Mood is beyond stressful.

Time is up.

You need to be at the register.

This is my first time going.

$292.75.

Thank you.

$294.04.

I have $300.

And I have only spent $170.

I am super-frustrated about

that.

All right, designers, let's

head back to the workroom at

Parsons.

All: Thank you!

Thank you, guys.

I'm hating those colors.

You're hating those colors?

You didn't have my artist, did

you?

It's gonna be fabulous.

When I started seeing

people's fabric choices...

I don't know.

Joshua seemed his wolf fake hair

thing is gonna be crazy.

Anya, I saw that, and I was

wondering if you got some.

Anya had too much feathers

going on here.

Kimberly has iridescent.

Becky does cute stuff.

I don't know if she knows

avant-garde.

And Bryce, I saw his sketch.

Mermaid dress, 1985.

Oh, did you see this?

You got it from downstairs?

Yeah, it's $5.00.

Ohh.

I already know...Down, down,

down.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

Man down.

Laura's making this fluffy

peach thing.

Kind of smells like when I

used to burn my Barbies.

Right now, it's looking like

a bad prom dress.

This is going to be one of

the wings.

You don't want to have

this look say, "Take me to

Geronimo."

[Maniacal laugh]

The challenge we are on now

is one where we get to

collaborate with students from

the Harlem School of the Arts.

We are creating a painting

together.

And from that piece of art we

then get to design an

avant-garde look for the

runway.

[Steam hissing]

Hi, everyone.

All: Hi, Tim.

Designers, you have until



tomorrow.

And I will be checking in with

you tomorrow.

You said something at Mood

that it was--we understand that

it's avant-garde, but you said

something that it's not.

I said this is not a red

carpet challenge.

This is an avant-garde

challenge.

Avant-garde doesn't have to

be costumey, doesn't have to be

exaggerated.

It's just gotta have like a

forward-thinking feel to it.

All right, everybody, make it

work, all right?

I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

This is avant-garde.

Yeah, go weird or go home.

To me, avant-garde really

can't be worn in real life.

I don't know about weird, but

go...Out there.

Like Lady Gaga wears

avant-garde.

To me, avant-garde is a

little edgy, like you have to

really do something that turns

your head and makes you think,

"How was that done?"

This chiffon makes me want to do

a musical or something.

[Laughter]

I like this stuff.

Love the hairdo.

Lovin' it.

I'm seeing a lot of bright

colors, feathers....fur.

Compared to others, my look is

definitely more quiet.

I usually don't go bright

orange-red.

The color combination is kind of

throwing me for a loop.

You want me to take a risk.

Oh, it's gonna look great.

I have this circle skirt that

I had painted to look like the

effect of wood.

So my idea is like, you know,

forest fires.

Mm-hmm.

So it's gonna, like, the

fire traveled across this part

of the forest.

So what is here is like burnt

and crisp already.

But, like, on the breastplate

right here, I'm gonna put, like,

Joshua McKinley hearts.

You know how people carve into

trees who they love?

Right.

So that's still gonna be

left.

What do you think?

Mm-hmm, I like the sketch.

Baby, I used my mom's

initials.

I lost my mom two years ago to

ovarian cancer, and she

definitely was my rock and my

inspiration.

[Crying] I don't think that I

would be here today...

If it wasn't for her.

I like the story behind it.

Look at that faux fur.

It's intense; I'd like to see

what you do with it.

You gotta be the right person

to use faux fur.

I mean, you don't want someone

walking down the runway looking

like the abominable snowman.

That's not avant-garde.

Everybody's doing it.

I'm just saying.

In Paris only.

In Paris only.

[Giggling] Fabulous.

[Fabric ripping]

Cute.

And that's leather?

This is pleather.

Pleather.

Could not afford leather.

Does anybody have a really

long ruler?

I have a semi-long...

I'm being serious.

Get your mind out of the gutter,

boys.

[Maniacal laugh]

Boil and bubble.

I dyed the bodice and the

pant fabric.

My biggest concern is really

creating that silhouette.

The pant balloons out over the

hips, and that's the big thing

is not making her look silly.

Man down.

Two men down.

So essentially, for this

garment, the nude princess cut

dress has to fit perfectly.

I feel like fit is always very

important, but there is no give

with the fit of this dress.

So my girl and I, we painted

our favorite flowers, 'cause she

loves flowers.

Uh-huh.

So what I'm doing is I'm

taking the organza and I'm

cutting out the very

non-constructed ruffles.

When you cut raw silk organza,

the edges are gonna fray.

So to keep from fraying, I am

burning the edges.

Kind of smells like when I used

to burn my Barbies.

It makes it turn this cool

brown color, kind of like wilted

petals.

So just to let you know, I'm

burning down the work room.

Fortunately, I'm an Eagle

Scout, so I'll put out fire.

You're a needle scout?

A needle scout.

I am now.

It looks great.

I'm really excited to see

what Becky is doing for this

challenge.

It's gonna be really, really

short here.

Oh, you wanna make it short

here?

Oh, yeah.

You know, I'd like to think

there's a part of it that my

direction in the team

challenge might have helped her

focus her energies a little bit

more and be a bit more creative

and think outside the box.

That's really pretty.

I don't know what I'm doing.

This is the first time that

I'm kind of stressing out.

I just hope it doesn't look like

a House of Dereon dress, but...

Blasphemy.

I love Beyonce, though.

Bert, are you g*y or

straight?

I'm g*y.

You could play it straight

card.

Yeah, well...

Are you married?

Um, widowed.

Was it sudden?

No. He had A*DS.

How long were you together?

18 years.

It was love at first sight.

Ohh.

I was very fortunate.

Yeah.

My partner John, I had never

lost anybody that was that young

that meant that so much to me.

And it sort of took me to a

very, very dark place.

Ooh, it's warm in here now.

I turned to alcohol, and that

took me for a very long, uh,

downward spiral, which I now

gratefully am out of and am

enjoying my life again.

Hi!

Hey there, Karen.

Hey, look at you!

Big boy.

The video chat was definitely

a bigger thrill than just

talking to my sister on the

phone.

Oh, h*! Hey, baby.

Hello, opie dopey!

They can see me, I can see them.

I could see my dog.

We're really excited for you,

and we're really proud of you,

and you look wonderful, Bert.

Yeah, you look good.

I really was very grateful

that I had these people rooting

for me.

And just to know they still

exist was nice.

Make it work!

I love you.

Love you too. Bye.

You sort of forget that you have

people to go back to that you

really care about.

I really miss them a lot.

Bye.

Love you, bye!

[Clock ticking]

It's the end of the workday,

and I did plan to be further

along than I am.

I have my work cut out for me

tomorrow.

So by the end of the day,

I've been able to go through the

design feeling just pretty good

about it.

I'm two stitches away from

being finished with this.

Okay, that's enough for

tonight.

All right, it's 10:00.

Let's get your stuff and go.

[Laughter and chatter]

I'm not gonna lie--sharing a

table with Josh, I feel a lot, a

lot of anxiety.

He had that wolf to be inspired

by, and I'm like...

My artist, she painted this

really crazy wolf.

I know, I saw.

So cool!

I mean, it inspired me

instantly.

Right.

He has a lot to prove, I

mean...Could you imagine, you

know, being down twice, out, and

then coming back.

Well, we shall see.

Well, you know what?

It is competition, and

somebody's gotta go home.

Oh, man.

[Overlapping chatter]

Avant-garde.

Olivier, he's a turtle.

He takes a long time to do

anything.

He's a little bit of a worrier.

Like, not warrior, "I'm gonna

fight you," I'm gonna worry

about this."

Make, like, a short skirt to

go over the top of this one.

So like a cage over just, like,

here to here.

Mm-hmm.

That's got, like, slits in

it.

It'd just give it another

dimension and...

That'd be a good idea.

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

I have good news.

Your artwork has arrived.

All: Yay.

Yeah, and it has arrived via

special delivery.

Come on in, everyone.

Hey there.

Hey there.

Hi, children.

Skyy comes in and, you

know, I just kind of put a happy

face.

Ohh, thanks.

Good to see you.

[Overlapping chatter]

I love your painting.

I think it's very--very lively

and lots of energy.

See, I've got the orange

triangles in there.

So what I'm doing right now

is just making sure that all

these green strips line up

with...

The yellow?

Mm-hmm.

Well, seems like you're doing

a good job so far.

Somewhat.

I really think it goes good

with our painting, right?

Yes.

Okay, good.

I'm gonna measure your head.

It's pretty big.

The drawing was meant to be

feathers going up, but I think

this is nicer.

I love these feathers.

What if I mixed the blue and

green?

Oh, that'd be, actually,

really awesome.

Do you want to maybe texture

it so that the rib cage actually

looks like it's popping out

a little?

I am so excited to see Sasha,

my artist, to bounce ideas off

of her.

Okay, I could totally do that.

It's really gorgeous.

I love it.

Thank you.

I mean, if I found a dress

like this, and it was real

cheap, I would definitely buy

it.

Oh, yeah?

I really love it, though.

Cool.

Anthony Ryan.

Hey.

Wu Qing.

Hello.

So how has this inspired your

avant-garde look?

I really want it to look like

it was just paint, in a way, and

just really take from her her

impressionistic brush strokes in

the painting.

One thing that we talked about

is we're gonna scrap the orange.

I support getting rid of the

orange.

When it's next to the black,

it looks way too Halloween-y, so

I agreed when she came in and

said let's put some--

is that your idea?

Excellent.

Yeah, so I'm listening.

In a way, this is gonna be a

collaboration too.

Do it.

Cool.

I-I'm really trying to not go

that one little step away from

avant-garde into costume.

Right, you want something

that does walk that very fine

line.

Still tasteful.

I think it would be

impossible for you to do

anything that wasn't tasteful.

So I just made her keep

talking to me so that I could,

like, take what she does as an

artist and put it into fashion.

Yet still be you.

Yet still be--and this is--

well, actually, you're

tapping into a part of you that

maybe even you haven't explored.

No, I definitely have not

explored orange.

This is going to be one of

the wings.

So, basically, this is just

going to be a sleeve that's

going to be fully feathered.

You want to avoid giving

Michael Kors the opportunity to

talk about a Hiawatha moment.

You don't want to have this look

say, "Take me to Geronimo."

Flowers is the inspiration,

so, you know, I knew it was

going to be something that was

pretty.

Also provocative.

It's avant-garde.

Right.

Laura's making this fluffy

peach thing.

Right now, it's looking like a

bad prom dress.

Kai, what do you think?

I think it will look much

better when it's a finished

project.

[Forced chuckle]

First thing I actually did

was make cubes.

And I wasn't sure it was too...

Much like kindergarten blocks.

But after I had the dress

together, I put them on and I

just started making more and

more and then they grew and

grew.

You want to keep it

sophisticated to a degree.

Exactly.

And sharp.

Yes.

And you don't want the look

to appear to be a craft project.

Exactly...Which is, you know,

a danger when I go...

It is a danger.

With cubes and denim.

Who does a gown out of denim?

And then all these little boxes

over here, like, FedEx just

shipped them and left them

there.

I mean, Becky, I'm just going

to assert--for an avant-garde

challenge I don't think this is

doing enough.

I was worried about that.

I'm not sure what else to do.

Step up and out.

Avant-garde.

Well, when Tim says he's

worried, that means that we

haven't wowed Tim.

And if we're not gonna wow Tim,

we're certainly not gonna wow

the judges.

Coming up

on Project Runway...

If we don't win, I'm just

gonna walk out.

I just don't feel his design

process is refined.

[Crying] I just don't want to

blow it again.

Hi, Bert.

I'm all yours.

It was great meeting Antonio,

and I love his color sense.

It's upbeat, it's happy,

it's young.

The proportion of these pieces,

like this painting, will

probably change a little bit.

So one of the things that

Tim was very specific in telling

us was not to have a literal

translation for our garment.

And it seems as if Bert has done

that.

I kept thinking, you know, I

love dresses, but I didn't want

to do red carpet.

I didn't want to do elegant.

This is not expected of you.

Right.

Which is a good thing.

Yeah, I hope--hope it's good.

Hey, Tonyalee.

Hello.

Hi, Olivier.

Hi, Tim.

Talk to us about your

design.

Because, generally, I don't

think a lot of colors when I

design...

I know.

And I thought--

I was happy to see this

painting for just that reason.

I was gonna use blue as this

part.

That--sort of tuck into this

piece.

And then I just flow it down.

Avant-garde...

Are you taking this far enough?

Mm...I really thought I took

a chance in going to somewhere

that I wouldn't normally go.

Like, I've never worked with

chiffon before and--

but that doesn't matter.

Okay.

You know, I respect that, I

appreciate it, but avant-garde

means to lead.

And you can't say, "Well, I

haven't worked with these

fabrics before, so for me, this

is leading."

It has to say it in the look.

You didn't like the idea?

No, it's not that I don't

like it.

You don't want it to be wholly

expected.

And you think this is

expected?

No, I'm--I'm not saying that.

He didn't say much negative

things or positive things.

But then, I don't think he's

extremely satisfied of what I

have.

Okay.

Cool.

Joshua and Patrice.

Talk to me.

Well, we had worked on this

idea of, you know, a horizon

line with the life, which is the

roots, and death on the surface.

This needs to be able to

stand on its own independent of

the narrative.

Right.

So if it needs an

explanation to really understand

why it's doing what it's doing,

that could be an issue.

Hi, Sasha. Hi, Josh.

Hey, Tim, how's it going?

How are you both?

So good.

Pretty great.

Good. Let me ask you both

this question.

Is it too literal an

interpretation of the painting?

Josh C., I just don't feel

his design process is refined

enough.

I think it'll come one day, but

in this competition, he needs to

have it now.

I don't want to interfere

with your vision...

Right, right.

As much as pose some

questions to you.

Sure, of course.

Because I don't want you to

go home again.

[Laughs] Agreed.

Obviously, it's hard to take

criticism, but he's so right.

The piece is too literal, it

could just be a wolf costume.

So let's start editing.

Minor setback, but in the end,

the perfect way to step back and

go again.

Viktor and Skyy.

Hi, Tim.

Talk to me.

Skyy mentioned that she likes

swirls, like movement.

Like it's gonna move, you

know, like the movement of

water.

I am a little bit scared

and tense when Skyy is talking

to Tim.

The color is very clean, and

it's not busy.

But, you know, she sold it.

It's not a forced look, it's

more of a natural, flowing look.

So you are--you stand in

support of this.

Yes.

Excellent.

Yeah.

She's great.

[Laughter]

So, designers, say good-bye

to your art student, but not

forever, because they're joining

us for the runway show.

Yay!

Art students, come with me.

Thank you, Skyy.

Dude...

Aah!

I learned to like Skyy.

I think she's funny.

I can't wait for her to be in

front of the judges, and, like,

just shut them down, because...

"This is how it is."

"Well, Michael Kors, I don't

know what you're talking

about, but..."

If we don't win, I'm just

gonna walk out.

I'm gonna add some green in

there.

Yeah, and the way we talked

about...

Yeah.

You know, like, strokes.

I think it needs it.

The overall concept's coming

through--you can clearly see

that I'm really trying to use a

technique to make it

avant-garde.

You know, it's kind of risky.

But I'm gonna have fun with it.

[Laughing]

I'm losing my mind!

I want to take that creepy,

kind of dark factor from the

actual painting.

I want to take it as far as, you

know, the straightjacket look.

You need a lot to do, right?

Once I get it cut out and

sewn, I'll be at a good spot.

Even cut, 'cause at least

you could pin it.

I don't like pinning knit,

though.

Then it always stretches out,

and then I cry.

Olivier is a phenomenal

designer, but he has a really

hard time with time management.

I know Olivier is a minimalist,

but he probably should have gone

so minimal in, like, a shocking

way.

I don't know if he took this

to the right place.

Do you feel any more nervous

being back or does it feel--just

feel like the same?

Um, I finally feel like I get

a good chance to express my

point of view a little more, you

know?

Right.

So now I just have to work

a trillion times harder.

[Giggles]

I feel that Josh C. having

gone and come back should be

making more of a point to prove

himself, and I don't see that.

Oh...

[Laughter]

That looks kind of legit.

It does.

Can we glue it there?

[Laughter]

This is who I am now.

One.

Hi.

[Indistinct chatter]

Oh, wow.

Yeah, it's really beautiful.

Do you think it looks like a

curtain?

No, absolutely not.

I love it, I love it,

I love it.

[Laughs]

These are so sick.

Haven't made a pair of pants,

in, what, 25 years.

Well, you did pretty good.

Well, these aren't exactly

what you call tailored.

I love it.

Bye.

Bye.

I think, in this competition,

I'm still somewhere in the

middle.

I haven't been in the bottom,

and I haven't really been in the

top.

So if I don't wow 'em, and

suddenly I'm in the bottom, they

could think, "Well, we haven't

really seen anything from you

yet.

You're outta here."

Laura, you're going to town

with that glue g*n.

You betcha I am.

Don't really got a choice.

Gotta go to town or this is--

no, it looks good.

Looks totally professional.

I can hand-tack, just not

that fast.

Fine, are you not liking

your jod--jodhpurs?

Oh, I am.

I'm just fine.

Right, isn't that what

they're called?

Jodhpurs?

Fat pants.

[Laughs] Fat pants.

Big booty pants.

You got it, you shake it.

Bert, sometimes your comments

are so delayed, but, you know...

Pretty hilarious.

I secretly like Bert's

outfit.

It might have not been tasteful

to a lot of people, but I

thought it was at least fun to

look at, and I think that's the

most important key.

What are you doing, Josh?

Thinking.

Okay.

No, I really am a little bit

stuck for a second.

Maybe I should just start

drawing.

There are some people

definitely in trouble.

Unfortunately, Josh c. Has

really created a very literal

costume.

That is like a Dracula kind of

vibe, right?

Sort of.

It's just a dark energy.

Right.

It looks kind of like Carmen

Miranda and a vampire.

Well, I'm gonna come up with

a couple different solutions.

I just had to sh**t 'em

straight, and...I think it

scared him because he doesn't

have much time to make drastic

changes.

As much as I'd love to be



doing, it's not always like

that.

You know, I've been given this

second chance to come back and

do this, and I--I just don't

want to blow it again.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

He's worried more about being

safe than actually showing us

what he's made of.

You've actually glued the top

to your model?

It's against the rules.

Oh, my God, I couldn't sleep,

thinking about if I can it

done, is the question.

Do you have a ton of work to

do?

Yeah.

I'm not really nervous.

Its just like I have to use my

time.

I have to do something, and

hopefully it will be a little

better, I think.

Well, I'm more and more

concerned about all of us.

Me too--what way it's gonna

turn out.

Yep.

I think Olivier's really ready-

to-wear and not avant-garde.

I don't even think that's a

matter of taste.

That's just fact.

And at the same time, I would be

really, really sad to see him

go.

This challenge is up in the

air because it is probably the

most subjective challenge of

them all.

I think when it's based on a

painting, you have to work away

from it a little.

Right.

Like if I hadn't had a

painting, it would have been

fine.

That's why you've clearly xed

all the fur, because you feel

that it might...

It's too close.

It's just a odd challenge

that we're all doing the best we

can.

Let's go.

Someone will be bitin' the

dust.

It's the first time since my

mother's passed that I've really

felt inspired again.

Did you see my little heart to

my mom?

I feel by carving this into the

skirt that she may be gone and I

may be here, but doesn't mean

that the love is gone.

She'll see it from up above.

Good morning, designers.

Hey.

You have two hours to send

your models to the L'Oreal Paris

makeup room and the Garnier hair

studio.

And think very thoughtfully

about how you're going to

style your avant-garde look

with the Piperlime wall.

So work like there's no

tomorrow, because for one of

you, there won't be.

If I sound strident, I am,

because I care about each of

you, and I don't want anyone to

go home.

But someone is, all right?

Work hard.

I'll be back.

All right, thank you, everyone.

Make it work!

Whoo!

[Indistinct chatter]

I have to--I have to sew this

together again.

I think I made a mistake of

spending too much time on the

top garment.

Oh, my gosh...It's not good.

I constantly doubt myself and

even though people say, "You're

good, you're good," I think,

okay, they're just being nice,

you know.

I am always afraid of being

that person that's trying so

hard, but it's not going

anywhere.

We have to go to makeup in five

minutes.

I really want to make a really

big red lip...

Mm-hmm.

So it pops out.

And then maybe some big

eyelashes.

Gorgeous.

And I love how you can see

her cheekbones more.

I wish I had that.

Instead, I have them here.

How about a highlight and a

beautiful blue right around with

a lot of mascara?

Cool. Yeah.

It's beautiful.

That sounds perfect.

She's got some crazy [bleep]

Going on in her eyebrows.

I love it.

You gonna make the hair

explode?

Oh, yeah, it's gonna be

ginormous.

As big they can get it, yeah.

So we're just doing a tight

back on the front here.

And then in the back just a

massive expl*si*n.

So I want her hair totally

blown out huge, you know what I

mean?

So you want it big.

Big, big hair, yeah.

So I'd like to do an afro.

So big tease, as big as

possible.

I never had an afro in my

life.

Just spray the [bleep].

I'd love to get this somehow

to look as though it's the smoke

from what's happening.

Time's up.

That's what I needed.

Thank you so much, Garnier.

Like you need that.

Can I borrow the--your glue?

Yeah. Sure.

Everything I have is yours,

Olivier.

Aw. That's so nice.

I'm gonna try gluing that on

your boobs.

What?

The glue.

Yeah.

You think it's okay?

I--my God, I hope it's okay.

At this moment, I'm worried

about Olivier maybe not

finishing the garment because

he's a little slow.

Hold like this.

I don't even know what he's

doing.

Olivier.

Yes.

You've actually glued the top

to your model?

Why are you gluing?

Because I was so afraid like

when she walks it's gonna fall,

like flap.

But that is a construction

issue.

It can't be mitigated by gluing

the top to your model.

It's against the rules.

Gluing to me is like

cheating.

It's not sewing.

Like if you go to a store and

you buy a dress that's glued,

would you buy it? No.

So this is the only part that

I put glue.

But it's not sticking now.

No.

Okay. All right.

Thank you.

I'm happy with it.

It's weird--just weird enough.

Laura's--it looks like one of

those dresses that you put on a

little plastic Barbie doll that

covers a roll of toilet paper.

One button snaps.

It's just like that for now.

I think it's time for Bryce

to pack his bags.

He's worried more about being

safe than actually showing us

what he's made of.

I'm a sad crying clown.

'Cause I can't get the zipper

up.

Aw, don't cry, it's okay.

Bert's--yeah.

I don't know how that's gonna go

over.

It looks very...Kid's crafty.

There.

Can you breathe?

Yes.

Don't move too much.

Don't want it to break again.

All right, everyone.

Let's go down to the runway.

Let's go.

I'm excited, actually.

I think mine's definitely one of

the stronger ones, you know.

But we're not gonna count them

chickens yet.

Coming up on project

runway...

It's trashy.

I don't get it.

They're like valium clothes.

[Snoring]

Hello.

Hi.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion, one day

you're in, and the next day,

you're out.

There are 11 of you here, and

after tonight, there will be 10.

For this challenge, we paired

you with an art student from the

Harlem school of the arts.

Welcome to the runway, students.

[Students giggling]

Together you created a piece of

art that served as the

inspiration for an avant-garde

look.

All right, let's meet the

judges.

First we have CFDA lifetime

achievement award winner Michael

Kors.

Hey, guys.

Hi, Mike.

Filling in for Nina Garcia,

we have senior fashion editor

for Marie Claire magazine,

Zanna Roberts Rassi.

Hi.

Hi.

And our special guest judge,

designer, philanthropist, and

chairman of amfAR, Kenneth Cole.

[Gasps]

We will score your designs as

they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the

winner, and one of you will be

out.

All right?

Let's start the show.

I am over the moon.

I kinda did a asymmetrical hem

that mimicked the profile of the

bird, and I made her really

strong as the eagle with the

leather and the high collar.

My artist loves it.

So I believe I did a great job.

I really like the dress that

I made.

It looks amazing.

The only thing I'm wishing is I

had more volume on the bottom.

But the dress fits her

perfectly.

It's nice and tight.

I did the fitting beautifully,

and she looks great in it.

Her walk's amazing.

I can't complain.

[Whispers] That's awesome.

It's definitely more quiet

and more subtle, but I think

sarin's is the most powerful

voice, and I hope that translate

in the design.

But I'm nervous that I'm not

pushing myself hard enough.

I just think I could have done

better.

I am thoroughly pleased.

I definitely love this idea of

monogramming the skirt with some

initials that definitely mean a

lot to me.

I'm just hoping that the judges

are able to hone in that it's

avant-garde.

[Whispers] Good job.

Watching my look come down

the runway, I think it looks

great.

It's attractive.

The shapes my artist had on his

painting, I interpreted it in an

avant-garde way.

It's the proportion of this

large pant...being very

high-waisted is somewhat

forward.

[Whispers] Do you like it?

It looks really, really good.

[Snaps] Sold!

I love the drama.

I love how it moves.

There was definitely elements

that I would do in my own

garment...and there's elements

of Skyy, so I'm pretty happy.

That's hot.

I would so buy that.

Do you love it?

I'm excited.

It's what I envisioned.

The movement's beautiful.

I took the painting techniques

that Kai likes to use and put

them into the garment.

I really wanted her to look like

a dusted fairy.

Oh, she looks like a fairy.

I love it.

I think my design is great.

I like the strait jacket.

But I just am concerned about

using orange and blue.

Even though that was my artist's

aesthetic, it's just not

normally what I do.

But all in all, I really like

how my look turned out.

I am honestly relieved.

I'm pleased.

I feel like it's visually

stimulating.

For me...This is avant-garde.

I definitely feel like I've

created something that is beyond

my everyday design.

I really like it.

I'm loving how it's moving

down the runway.

It was very true to the

painting.

It was very simplistic, but I

kinda amped it up with the

technique and the color to make

it my own in a way.

And I love how the little

train's working in the back.

I'm all smiles at this point.

That looks awesome!

Oh, yeah.

I am really happy with the

overall look.

It's attractive.

I think it has impact.

I think he says something about

me and my love for this very

African aesthetic.

But I don't know if it was

particularly avant-garde.

But AJ's absolutely thrilled,

and that felt amazing.

If I call your name, please

step forward.

Kimberly.

Victor.

Becky, please step forward.

Bryce.

Anya.

If I've called your name,

congratulations.

Your scores have qualified you

to move on to the next

challenge.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

[Whispering]

Snubbed.

Congrats on being in the top

ten, though.

Yes, that's true!

We're the top ten.

I call the top three...

Laura, Josh, and...

And...

between Anthony and Bert.

I don't know which one.

I think Josh C's in the top.

No way!

It wasn't avant-garde enough.

Bert's gotta be in the

bottom, right?

Did you see their faces?

No, they liked it.

No. Did they?

I don't think so.

I'm not 100% sure.

It looked like Circus Circus

in Las Vegas.

No, no, no.

No, I have a feeling that's

gonna be the winner.

If Bert wins, I am jumping

out that [bleep] window.

[Laughter]

The remaining designers have

the highest and the lowest

scores.

One of you will be named the

winner, and one of you will be

out.

All right, Joshua.

Me and my artist Patrice,

we kinda started talking about a

toxic tree, and the roots were

alive, but everything above the

surface was dead.

And so basically it's little

memoirs of people that carve

things into the tree being left.

It was kind of the idea--things

may burn and people may pass and

go away, but the memories are

still left.

I like this look.

I liked especially what you've

done to the fabric.

You painted this fabric, right?

Yeah, it's--actually, it's a

double-sided neoprene with--

it's actually a light tan, and

then there was a darker tan.

I did two coats on it.

I just love the way you

painted that.

I think that looks great.

Thank you.

I think this is great,

Joshua.

I also...Love the skirt.

It just seems to drape very

naturally, and I also love the

contrast of the top and the

bottom and the...The foundation.

I think it's very well done.

Thank you.

The texture on the skirt is

spectacular.

I like the texture of the flame

on top.

If her hair was in a ponytail

and her makeup was just clean...

Someone would actually wear it.

Yeah.

But with the sleeve and the

makeup and, you know, it's--

it's a little Tim Burtony.

Sometimes we don't need the

crutch of styling.

Let the garment shine.

Thank you.

I love the skirt.

The fact you painted that

is great.

What do the actual little

symbols say on it?

There's something on the back.

Well, this is just my

initials and then my mom's

initials.

Nice! That's really sweet

in that how like graffiti

within that makes it even

cooler.

Thank you so much.

Josh.

I worked with my artist.

Her name is Sasha.

And she said she really liked

wolves, and I said let's just go

for it.

My favorite part was she kind of

exposed the ribcage and put a

heart in the middle of it.

I tried to interpret that for me

as, you know, these layers--the

protective and then eventually

you get to the heart.

I just really wanted to express

the two sides.

I don't think it's avant-

garde.

She looks like a Victorian

c*ck waitress in Las Vegas.

She's got the Faster, Pussycat!

k*ll! Boots on...

The miniskirt, the harness, the

puffed sleeves, the crazy hair.

I don't think it's fashion.

I'm struggling.

My first thought was trashy.

Look at someone like McQueen

who'd take references from all

sorts of dark places but make

them look beautiful.

This you didn't make look

beautiful.

It's not there.

Sorry.

First thing I was thinking,

"I'm gonna be a hooker for

Halloween."

[Laughter]

I totally disagree.

I mean, I know it's subjective,

and I know it's an opinion,

but...When I saw her come out,

it was a totally different

feeling than what you're

feeling.

Yes. Beauty is in the eyes of

the beholder, but there's a

definite consensus here...

Sure.

That says it's not beautiful.

You know, I'm struggling with

the proportions as much as

anything.

It just feels kind of awkward

and a little dominatrix-y.

But I think the elements are not

bad.

It just...Just doesn't come

together.

All right, Bert.

My artist Antonio, his

painting that we did together

was mostly geometric shapes.

So that was my cue to work

with the colors that he used and

also the shapes.

I feel...That the art and the

fashion are not in harmony.

I don't feel like it's a garment

that anyone would want to wear.

I've been sort of trying to

bump it up a bit.

It's been suggested I'm too

simple.

Well, this is not simple.

Yeah.

[Laughs] You succeeded there.

Avant-garde doesn't have to

be beautiful in the traditional

sense of the word.

You know, sometimes it can be

oddly beautiful.

It makes you think.

Mm-hmm.

Unfortunately, she just looks

like a girl with a misshapen

body with some stuff glued on

her.

It doesn't feel modern.

Too perfect.

Your hand is all about

perfect, perfect, perfect.

Mm-hmm.

So then something's gotta

"F" it up.

Right.

That's what keeps it modern.

I actually liked it, and I

liked it that it was very

literal.

There were some things there

today that bored me, that were

sad and drab, and this is not

sad.

This has a point of view.

It's loud, it's cuckoo.

I don't think we're gonna be

seeing ladies at c*ck

parties wearing this.

Really?

No.

I think this is just too

outside the box.

There's just these forms that

just seem to be applied.

But I don't get it.

Laura?

I had the pleasure of working

with Kai, an adorable



When she painted her rose, she

painted little green thorns on

it.

She said thorns make roses

original.

So I did this boning that kind

of represented the thorns.

And then when we were done with

the painting, Kai doused the

entire painting with water.

So I wanted to take this ivory

and douse it down like it became

this light, airy thing.

When it walked out, I was

looking at the painting that you

were referencing in your

inspiration, and I had a hard

time seeing how that linked to

the dress.

Now under your explanation, I

can see it.

I can see the stems of the

roses, you know, I can see the

hard and the soft.

I love the interplay of the

corset with the beautiful, sheer

gown.

Thank you.

I do like the way you handled

the fabric, and I do like the

boning underneath.

I liked the inspiration.

I can see where it's coming

from.

I love the mixture of the soft

with the hard.

I love the hard black lines

coming through from underneath.

I think it's a beautiful color.

I liked it a lot.

Thank you.

Olivier.

My artist Tanya, she likes to

draw dreams, and she had lots of

lines going on across the

canvases.

And she liked the color blue,

and she likes bright colors.

So I thought of this dreamy,

sort of soft but has lots of

structure and lines going

across.

Olivier, do you think I love

it?

I think you don't like it.

I think you're right.

The entire dress really looks

sad.

The colors are sad.

Even your blue looks sad.

And the painting doesn't look

sad to me.

It's much more vibrant.

The top here is so well done,

extremely well constructed, and

then you get below the waist,

and you just see this really

cheap fabric.

Almost take the chiffon--the

lemon or the blue chiffon

and make that into the skirt.

That would be much more

ethereal, a little bit more

romantic.

The interpretation is good, but

it's boring.

I think it's anything but

boring.

There's too many details.

There's one layer too many, and

then the asymmetry also makes it

hard.

The top is beautifully made.

The bottom is less than that.

I think that the bodice, the

constructed side, is

spectacular.

But then the rest of the dress

looks like mood exploded on her.

You need to not be afraid of

being powerful.

You gotta umph, you know, push

it, push it.

Anthony Ryan.

Well, I just wanted to do a

portrait of me, but I wanted her

to be included, so she did one

of herself next to me...And

if you kinda look at the

bottom of the painting,

it almost looks like our skin

fades into the painting.

I love this dress.

Thank you.

I can see the inspiration.

I still love that you're

color-blind and you do beautiful

things with color.

She looks sexy, she looks

modern.

It is a very simple look...

Right.

But yet very powerful, and I

like that.

Thank you.

What I really appreciate

about this--you got the attitude

of the painting without being

literal.

You also found a way to

manipulate the fabric, which I

think is interesting.

There's dimension with the

color.

And you've got that undone hem,

but quite honestly, I think it

goes with the garment.

Yeah.

I, on the other hand, am

struggling with the execution

a little bit.

It feels almost a little

homemade, as though the pieces

were just applied without

attention to some element of

application that would make them

feel more finished.

And the bottom, again, it's

sheer, it's sexy, it's pretty,

but it just feels like there's

another under layer missing.

But I really like it a lot.

It just feels like it's not

there.

When it first walked down the

runway, I was kind of thinking,

"Is that ticker tape?"

And then I realized it was the

brush strokes, and I actually

really like it.

I like the way they're kind of

trickling down the dress

slightly, the combination of

those.

The kind of very opaque

colors with the chiffon and the

two textures together work

together really well.

It's a very cool dress.

Thank you.

Okay. We've heard what you

had to say.

We're gonna have a little chat.

Gonna call you back out.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Hey.

Oh...

We need to know--top three,

bottom three.

We couldn't figure it out.

I think it's him and you.

But you were there.

[Laughter]

They really weren't after the

bottom at all.

Like they really didn't trash

very much.

Are you sure?

That's not what it felt like.

What'd they say, Joshy?

They were like, "Street

walker. c*ck waitress."

I was like...Okay.

What'd they say about yours,

Bert?

That no one would wear it.

Your look was one of my

favorites, to be honest.

Thank you.

All right, let's talk about

the designers that we like the

most.

Joshua...Mckinley.

How cool was that skirt

and the painting on the

neoprene?

Very cool.

It was cool.

The texture...

The skirt was amazing.

And I love the graffiti on

the tree.

That touch was very well

thought out and looked extremely

well done.

I actually love that he

didn't only sew his garment, but

he also halfway painted it.

And that's what we were all

attracted to.

Right.

He's the only one who did

that, actually.

I love the contrast of very

bright and feminine and then the

very somber but yet very organic

looking and feeling from the

waist down.

Yeah.

Artistically, this was very

good.

We liked Laura.

I love the mix of the soft and

the hard.

I like the concept of the

structure of the corset showing

through the transparency.

That kept it...

Yes.

Modern.

The corset thing was a cool way

to interpret the roses, don't

you think?

'Cause at first when I saw

the picture, I couldn't see the

correlation.

And then when she explained it,

it was like, ah, yes, I can see

what you're talking about now.

I like the hard or more

structured, the softer, more

flowing garment.

It's a great concept.

It was really, really

well made too.

Time-management on this dress,

I mean, that is a lot to--

well made.

Anthony Ryan.

He really made a beautiful,

interesting dress that was

simple from the colors to the

strong point of view.

You could see what the

inspiration was.

You actually could see

someone wearing a version of

that...But it was still powerful

on the runway.

And I love how he interpreted

the brush strokes.

It's very well thought out,

and the brush strokes to the

chiffon, to the hair, to the

shoes, the whole package was

there and that's what art should

be--everything comes together

perfectly.

I just come up a little

short with the execution at the

end.

It looks like it was just stuck

on and it could be unstuck as

easily.

[Laughter]

But it's very well done.

I think today he pulled it

off.

All right, let's talk about

the designers that we didn't

love.

Olivier, for example.

Didn't work.

There's one too many random

layers on top, one too many on

the bottom.

And it was just not ex*cuted at

all well.

His clothes, they're like

valium clothes.

They just make you kinda fall

asleep, you know?

He's too tasteful, like you

said.

Yeah!

And that definitely holds him

back.

When he walked into the

casting, I was blown away.

And now you're bored to

tears.

And now I'm bored.

Everything that he does is so

gray and sad.

Sad!

The painting was so much more

interesting than the dress.

The colors on it were much more

vibrant.

He chose this blah palette, this

nasty material.

Valium fashion.

[Snoring]

Done!

All right, let's talk about

Josh.

He's still in love with his

hooker.

Talk about a missed

opportunity--Joshua C. had this

incredible painting of this

wolf--powerful, dimensional,

interesting...And instead, she's

a hostess/hooker.

[Laughter]

And when you break down the

pieces, it is a high-waisted--

ugly skirt.

Leather...

From the mall.

With a white blouse.

Yeah, it's just the harness

where he tries to distinguish

himself from pure generic

dominatrix wear.

And I just think he just missed

it.

Were you surprised from Bert

today?

Surprised, but not in a good

way.

Not even like surprised like,

"Oh, that's different!"

No. I think it looked like

something a Teletubby would

wear to a party.

[Laughter]

Heidi, I know you've been

craving a very stiff jumpsuit...

[Laughing]

That will make your a*s look

that long and...

Come on!

And it looks like you're

having baby number five when you

wear it.

No, you look like you are

baby number five.

You are baby number five.

You're right, you're right!

I'm making you wear that.

I don't wanna wear that.

The toys got glued, right?

That's exactly what I

thought.

Well, you know what you do

with infants--you attach their

mittens to them so they can't

lose them.

Right.

So he attached all of his

possessions to him...And sent

them out on the street.

If these were flat--less three

dimensional...

The 3-D didn't help.

It didn't help.

No. They were sponges.

It's like, oh, I'm cleaning my

kitchen--beep!

Oh, I'm cleaning the floor--

boop!

I mean, and what's with the

belt matching the shoes?

All she needed was a purse.

I agree--that's a little old

farty farty.

It's just awkward.

Okay, so we've made our

decision?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Let's bring them back

out.

The six of you represent the

best and the worst.

One of you will be named the

winner, and one you...

Will be out.

One of you will be named the

winner...

And one of you...

will be out.

Anthony Ryan...

Congratulations.

You're the winner of this

challenge.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We loved your bold brush

stroke inspiration and the fact

that you gave us a strong,

modern look.

You also have immunity, and you

cannot be eliminated from the

next challenge.

Thank you.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

I'm so excited!

[Whooping]

I'm a bride!

I'm not a bridesmaid anymore.

I'm an official bride.

My groom can take me on my

honeymoon.

I have won.

Joshua, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you very much.

Laura, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Bert, you're lucky that I

liked your outfit.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Josh, Olivier, one of you

will be out.

Josh, we did not think that your

look was avant-garde.

We thought it was just bad.

You had such a powerful work of

art as your inspiration, but you

failed to live up to it.

Olivier, your construction was a

mess.

And on top of that, your look

was just sad and blah.

You bored us.

Olivier...

You're in.

Thank you.

You can leave the runway.

[Whispers] Congratulations.

I'm sorry, Josh.

That means you're out, and I

have to give you my auf

wiedersehen for the second time.

[Laughs]

Thank you so much.

Auf wiedersehen.

Thank you so much, everybody.

Seriously.

Good luck.

This is awesome.

Thank you.

Eliminated for the second time.

Actually, it gets easier.

[Laughs]

Wah-wah.

Joshy!

I am having an amazing

opportunity to do what I want.

I love you guys.

And so...I can only be

grateful for everything that

I've learned, and I definitely

am.

Josh!

Oh, Tim, I muffed it up

again.

[Laughter]

Well, you know something,

you're experiencing twice what

most Project Runway designers

only get to experience once!

[Laughter]

Well, it's been amazing to have

you back.

Thank you.

It really has been great.

I'm just sorry to send you to

the workroom again to clean up

your space.

Ohh...So much work.

I am not happy to be leaving,

but I am very content with my

effort and very pleased that I

am who I am.

I'm gonna keep on designing.

This is just the beginning.

Next time on Project

Runway...

For this challenge, you will be

working in two teams of five.

That is a disaster just

waiting to happen.

I'm asking you if this is

how it's gonna be, because I

will not have it, Bert.

Joshua woke up on the wrong

side of the bed...and he wants

to fight somebody.

I wasn't able to make it back

to see my mom one last time.

That textile gives me the

hives.

I think it looks like Judy

Jetson with a vacuum cleaner.

Can you all join hands for

me?

There was no design

whatsoever.

Nothing went right.
