the Flat Screen: 'Project Runway' Episode 2 - Preggo Challenge

Another visit to Heidi delivers this week's challenge of creating a look for an actual celeb, supermodel, and tv star, Rebecca Romijn , also hot mommie-to-be.

Which brings this week's challenge to "Preggers Chic Challenge" - Romijn is pregnant with twins and yearns to have an outfit that shows a beautiful silhouette and is slightly, form-fitting.

Off to Mood with a $200 budget, Shirin opts to go left from the rest of the people with a vision of making a dress and a coat. Qristyl (my apologies for the misspell on the last post) looks like a fish out of water when pressured with deciding the perfect fabric for their preggers client. The nerves take ahold of Ra'Mon as he begins to create his piece and play back feedback from last week in his head as it was "being too safe". Unlike Ra'Mon though, Mitchell is again annoying by going with the goal of safe or in other words, "I'm gonna try not to get on the chopping block this time around". Tim may have went too far with his comment of "cuckoo already happening" about Malvin and his chicken lays an egg concept but I heart Tim for keeping it real. Malvin's "chicken leg" vision is a hot mess and scares me right off the back because my secret wish to eliminate Mitchell looked slim to none.

Off to the runway,

The pressure was on since Kors was replaced this week by Monique Lhuillier which left 3 moms that know what's hot when it comes to maternity clothing.

Louise with her tiered beauty in red and amazing attention to detail really impressed me; dyeing her lace top and putting layers in the dress to compensate the changes of a pregnant woman's body; love the inverted seams on Johnny's dress, although it was a boring piece it kind of gave the dress some type of pop it desperately needed; Shirin's vision in fruition was hotness; and Althea was a major plus for considering the client's mission to be sexy; the back screams "I'm preggo, but hey I still got it".

Ginormous WTF to Epperson & Malvin; AND of course, my man I love to hate, Mitchell, who tried to play it safe with an everyday t-shirt and shorts look but then got slapped in the face because despite the easy design; his construction was YET AGAIN poor and frankly, sloppy and amateur.

Finally, Ra'Mon created a dress that basically said "Hey look at me, Im caught up" and ummm...that's not in a good way.

The verdict is obvious....Shirin WINS with her fab dress full of fly details that even I can appreciate as a non-mother, this dress makes one hot mommie (see the winning look above). As far as the loser, which came first: the Chicken or the Egg? In Malvin's case, neither. The piece proved to be unflattering and totally inappropriate (yes, inappropriate). He got the boot and I totally agree. But yet, I can't help but wish Heidi added Mitchell to the boot. But he's off to another show because the whackos obviously need to be weeded out first. But here's to next week!

See what Shirin had to say about her winning look...
