Project Runway Finale... I finally got to see it, so you're stuck with my thoughts.

Overall, final runway show: I thought Jillian's was the best, Rami's was more of the same, and Christian's was surprisingly unfinished looking.

I completely agreed with the judges saying that Rami's color selections tend to be a little "off" which is what I think is part of what bothered me about him all season long. I just didn't know it. I wonder if he is color blind? But, his talent is obvious and the skill he has with the draping and the weaving is undeniable. Most of his work looks rather matronly.

Jillian's show just blew me away in that everything was wearable and I had thought she would do a lot of Michael Jacksony, spacelike coats. I loved the black sweater with the gold piping. I think she has a real future in designing ready to wear. I also think that was her downfall; she's almost too wearable for what this program is.

Christian's final show just seemed really unfinished to me and his first 4 outfits looked practically the same. Although he was consistent the entire show (save the prom gowns). I also think the judges liked his attitude. I do think he probably deserved to win based on entire performance, but I hope he doesn't go on to do all ruffles and tiers.

Also, as a former hairstylist and with him being a hairstylist, lay off the aerosol already and get a decent cut and color. That's just a personal thought. He was not very inspired when it came to model hair and makeup.

Side notes: Everybody needs a Tim Gunn in their life. I would so love for him to come and say nice things to me... Those are the best parts of the show. I even catch my son being soothed by his chats.

Who in the heck picked Victoria Beckham to judge...? and then called her a designer? She's a name lender to a line of clothing. And she needs a new haircut. And a personality. But then, maybe she's just shy.

I think, overall, it was an amazing show though.
