PR Toons

Darlings, once again our very own Alex took time off from running the best damn comic shop in Brooklyn to scribble his impressions so far.

Kelli and Kenley vaguely unsettle Tim, while Wesley says what you know they're all thinking:

Wesley Aufed?!?!

Noooooo!!!! Not our little Wesley! Darlings, we were so shocked we almost forgot to put his underwear shot up!

There.

It's cute how he even wears his underwear high.

Look at his little vest! ADORABLE.

The dress?

DEPLORABLE.

Don't hate us, kittens but we agreed with the judges on this. Oh, we were definitely shocked. We were sure Leanne was outta there and sat there open-mouthed watching Wesley exeunt before we could come up with a nickname for him, but in the clear haze of morning the decision makes sense.

The Duchess (who has been on her game these past 2 episodes) nailed it when he said that it look like 20 hands were on that fabric. It looks tortured.

If the execution had been flawless, he might have won out over Leanne's noodle dress but we're not so sure about that. They both suffered from the same problem.

Lack of editing. There is just way too much shit on that frock. If he had removed 50% of it, it still would have looked like a bit much.

Maybe that's why it was so poorly sewn. He didn't seem to have a problem with execution last week and that should have been a harder dress to make, but this week it looked like he decided to make things more interesting by closing his eyes while he sewed.

Sorry, Wesley. You are cute as a button and we love your personal style, but this dress was a disaster.

Still, we have to thank you for this:

"I think tight, shiny, and short is the quickest way to look cheap. I think I speak for all the judges on that point."

"Oh, um..."

"...sure. Absolutely. Yes, I agree."

"You have absolutely no self-awareness, do you?"

Jerell and Wesley

Let's knock a couple dresses out over the weekend, shall we?

"What I do now is design one-of-a-kind custom pieces for a VERY selected group of people...from celebrities to Saudi royalty."

Y'know, it wouldn't be PR without some self-puffing smack talk, but "Saudi royalty" may just take the cake. Next season they're gonna claim they designed the pope's hat.

Some nice looks there. Nothing earth-shattering, but he seems to have talent.

He also seems determined to expose his chest in every outfit he wears. We'll let it slide because he's cute.

Model: Alex

We go back and forth on this one.

It's not so much that we like it, exactly. It's too disjointed and there's a bit too much going on.

The cocktail umbrellas don't help. In fact, they pretty much ruin the dress.

What we like about it is his use of materials. He did a bangup job on that bodice. It's visually interesting and it seems to be well-fitted. Making a sleeve out of a koosh ball was a master stroke.

And sure, he made a skirt out of a tablecloth, but he gets points from us for using a fake lace one and layering it so that it looks like real lace.

The whole outfit could have used some editing, but it was a pretty good first effort.

Oh, we don't care what you bitches say. If we were skinny, cute and 23 in 2008, we'd dress exactly like Wesley. And then we'd go out and find a rich sugar daddy to set us up for life. Ah, regrets.

Miss Wesley likes her dead animals.

From an aesthetic point of view, it's a perfectly cute little cocktail dress.

Doing it all in one color wasn't just a chic and visually striking choice, it's also damn impressive that he found so many items that matched each other exactly. Good eye. You'd think all the elements were dyed to match.

Daniel (rightfully) got a lot of attention for using plastic cups, but from where we're sitting, Wesley did just as good a job in seeing the potential in them and utilizing them effectively.

That detail on the bodice and strap is beautiful and looks expensive.

But to be honest, there was one small detail that impressed the hell out of us. It showed wit and style and a great visual sense:

Jerry, that's how you make dishwashing gloves look chic.
