I am 1000 miles away from my mom, who is one of my best friends, and if she walked through MY door right now I would bawl, so through a door where you've been trapped under a tremendous amount of stress for weeks on end?!? I would have been Andy, a total distracted wreck. His work certainly showed it, but at least he's thrown up some interesting Mommy Moxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594095268865041002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-61723168531017472032010-10-03T02:19:06.374-04:002010-10-03T02:19:06.374-04:00I wish someone would give Mondo some competition. ...I wish someone would give Mondo some competition.

I felt his was runway fashion but the rest were totally ho-hum, they did not give me that wow factor that I expect to usually see on the show, or like the judges said, in a runway fashion show.

She mentions a sun bonnet or "squash blossom necklace" which is an American Indian type of jewelry.

I really love Mondo too, but ok...is it way too predictable that he is the favorite? For me he is the Seth Aaron, the Christan S and the Jeffery (remember with the detroit neck tat?!) of this season.Actually, maybe April fits into that as well? I have my top 3....can we just skip to it?

True it was boring and you could buy it at any store but at least it wasn't frumpy hippie dippy like she usually does.<br /><br />I LOVED Mondo's. As soon as his model walked onto the runway I thought wow her legs are 10 feet long! He did great and I'm really glad he finally got his secret out.

I am with you, M and E, I cried through this whole episode! I can see how it would be emotional to see a family member show up in the midst of all the craziness and stress... and it was nice that they let them have a day off just to hang with them. Mondo's was by far the best design... no doubt in my mind that he will be at Fashion WeekSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301601844716579625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-18589710609478515772010-10-01T21:06:19.518-04:002010-10-01T21:06:19.518-04:00I cried throughout the entire episode!

First when Mondo was telling his story originally, then when their moms came in, then when Tim came in and got choked up out of the blue, then practically everything that the contestants said on the runway, then Valerie's little speech...Geez!!

...@Abs is right about the crying when you see mom! <br /><br />I loved this episode. I like seeing the personal side of the designers. But I didn't like any of their designs other than Mondo's (and April's a little bit). Nothing else screamed "runway," and I agree that Andy's was by far the worst and should have been sent home.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980375829295149693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-62705066494543877052010-10-01T16:01:09.476-04:002010-10-01T16:01:09.476-04:00Jennifer,

Now, seeing his courage to open up and push beyond what he is dealing with to stay true to who he is and make some amazing work, well, I could give a crap about the rest of the designers. Their work is pretty wishy-washy and Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954735015425590110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-51554232341926157432010-10-01T14:31:33.900-04:002010-10-01T14:31:33.900-04:00I have to say, I totally get the sobbing when the ...I have to say, I totally get the sobbing when the mothers come in. It's partly exhaustion--this show is slow for us but fast for the designers. It's crucible drama, when you're with the same people, challenges every few days, very little sleep, very little outside interaction or contact. Then, the person who gave birth to you walks in.

It was CRAZY! First off, I'm so angry that Andy didn't get sent home, that was HORRIBLE. There was nothing good about it, and I'm so irritated with the judging. Its quite ridiculous. I could go on and on and on!
