The saddest departure

So, this past Wednesday, on Project Runway we saw I think the saddest departure to date. (For a funny recap of the whole episode, in case you missed it go to Lipstick Mystic) The challenge was to make an evening gown for Miss U.S.A. Malan attempted to make something that ended up looking too puffy and heavy and was Auf'd. I know some people saw Malan as the potential villain, but I would vote for Jeffrey. He is always negative about everyone else's work and seems to think very highly of himself.

That same episode Malan had related a story about showing his mother his design sketches at the age of thirteen. His mother's reaction was to tell him to throw out the sketches and to tell her son to never do that again. He felt that his participation in Project Runway would prove to her that he did have what it takes to be a designer. Then, he was asked to leave and the first thing he said was, "I am so ashamed." Later, he confessed that he had not had many friends in his life and that he liked feeling part of something. The whole thing just broke your heart.

Bye Malan, and do not give up your dream to work in fashion. All the best to you!

Meanwhile, I thought Angela should be Auf'd because she did nothing but complain and was a negative presence in her group. I am sure that Vincent is not easy to work with but still you have to make the best of every situation. Her critiques did not help make a better dress. She is not long for the show, I suspect. I mean, when she went to pitch her design to Miss U.S.A. she didnt' have any sketches and suggested gloves!!!
