Okay, okay…. How fabulous did I look on Wednesday? : )

booty booty booty rockin everywhere!
Yaaaayyyyy Leanne! AGAIN! She is now the first designer is PR history to win two consecutive challenges! I give that girl so much credit for not just whipping out an outfit without a care because she had immunity. When I went in for a fitting the night before runway day and slipped on the beginnings of the gown, I gasped. The material was a beautiful, expensive, washed silk… probably the nicest fabric that has ever touched my body (thanks to Diane Von Furstenberg). I know a lot of you viewers hated the jacket, but it was STRAIGHT out of DVF’s collection, and to the designer’s credit, the producers failed to give them interfacing for their pieces, which help give jackets their structure and polished look.

Killing time backstage before takin' on the runway!
As for the other designers (In four words or less):
Korto: gorgeous, close second
Blayne: hated pants; loved coat
Joe: horrendous, tacky, gross, auf-ul
Kenley: needed more, poorly made
Jerell: complete look, very DVF
Suede: no likey
Terri: Loved coat, very Terri
Stella: god auf-ul cape

I am very sad about Stella’s AUF-ing. I really feel Joe should have been gone after this challenge because he really has no fashion-forward sense, and the design he sent down was not even close to a DVF look. At least Stella was entertaining, a wicked cool chick, AND sent a collective design down the runway.
Inside Scoop:
When Heidi brought Alyssa and I out for the model elimination at the beginning of the episode, Leanne wouldn’t look at me! She scared the crap outta me, and had me thinking she would do a little switch-a-roo since no one else this season has had the balls to change models! But PHEW! I was safe : ) Could you tell that we film the model elimination the day of the runway challenge? The producer’s tell us to take off all our makeup from the challenge and change up our hair before bringing us out, but what the hell was I supposed to do with the rats nest on my head? The “fashion that drives you” episode left me with a hot teased mess, and glued-in extensions. There was no way I would be able to take them out or brush my hair without a bottle of oil and a shower. Remember the muslin that Leanne shoved in my undies? I ripped up some of that, tied it around my fro, and Polina drew a heart on it for an added touch : )

I have also had several people ask me what one wears under that gown. Answer? NOTHING.
For those fashion virgins out there, NYC FASHION Week is in full force now through September 12!!!! I am going to do my best to keep you updated, but just a warning: for the next week, my life is crazy!
XOXO

This was another Great episode and what a gorgeous dress you got to wear. I really liked the jacket and the dress separately, but know where Leanne was coming from in putting them together for this challenge. Obviously the judges got it, too.
Honey, you looked awesome! Loved the dress AND the jacket. You looked the part for that era. Plus so "Marilyn" looking in some of your pics.
Great luck in fashion week, Karalyn! You and Leanne rocked the last two episodes.
I am pissed I keep forgetting to watch! Thankfully you have this blog....great dress! Very DVF... Looking forward to your seeing your face on future Clinique Ads:)
That's fantastic. You both rocked it again! I think you two will win over and over again and make everyone feel tired!
Oh.My.God. was out of my mouth when you slipped off that jacket.
WHAT a dress! And you were the perfect model to wear it. Seriously. A little Jean Harlow, a hunk of Carol Lombard and a LOT of Marlene.
I always feel so sorry for the models who come out barefoot and in nothing but those black slips. How naked!
"PRison" -- HAHAHAHA!
Found your blog through project rungay, and can I just say I am thrilled to have another blog to read at work that dishes on PR, from a model's perspective no less!
SO glad this dress won, not only is Leanne my fave designer (have to admit I also like Kenley) but you are an amazing model and I would love to 'shoot' you!
I have to say, I've been reading your blog for a couple weeks and I love your take on the whole thing! It really is cool to read from a model's perspective. Also, congrats on the win! You looked gorgeous in that dress -- man if I had $700 to throw around I'd get it! xD Do keep us updated during fashion week when you can. Keep writing!
Didn't Jeffrey from season 3 have two consecutive wins?
Oh Jeffrey was the first to win back to back with immunity so Leanne is tied with him.
Great blog btw, I have been reading through it and cracking up with the commentary, hope to keep hearing from you!
Hi! I'm a BIG Fan of PR from Protugal and i just have to say you have the coolest hair EVER!
I want to have it like yours... But i can't fins any good pictures from the back... Can you help me? Thanks and good luck for you, gorgeous!
