Of course I am once again a little behind on revealing my thoughts about the latest episode, but better late than never, right? While I think the maternity challenge for the contestants on the second episode of Project Runway was mildly interesting, there was still something a little off. I can't quite put my finger on it though. Maybe there just aren't enough wild personalities? There isn't anyone like Santino, whose dead-on impressions of Tim Gunn made me giggle; or no one like Chris March, whose could create these extravagant costumes while seemingly asleep. Or maybe it's just that the designers aren't creating anything that makes me contemplate their concept or immediately fall in love with their design.
Here are some designs that stick out in my mind...
Epperson's jumpsuit. I think just that word jumpsuit says it all! I mean, come on, a jumpsuit for a pregnant woman?? And in some sort of creamy white, no less!! It does have a little "high fashion" in it, I think, but in real life I don't think any pregnant woman would really parade around town in it.
Althea's long gown...I must admit I really liked. But upon closer inspection, the bust area looks not quite finished as it could be. And could Althea really not add an extra row of that ribbon to cover up her model a little more? Other than that, color choice was excellent and it did look really comfortable.
...and the winner. Shirin's little cocktail dress was definitely cute and the gathering under the bust line was very original. She deserved the winner spot, but it was still a little plain. I guess that's why she put that lining in the coat...which we couldn't even see. 
*all pics from NY MagI'm hoping and praying that next week's episode delivers some sort of drama that will remind me of the days on Bravo. (And I purposefully did not mention Malvin's "egg-mother-hen" disaster.)
