Project Runway Recaps: Episode 6 --"You Ain't No Waif Yourself"!

Villain Ven, a Brawny Paper Towel (Wo)man, Hoochie Momma's and My Recap:

Oh Ven!

Posterboy for Plus Size Bashing? Project Runway Season 10 designer/contestant Ven Budhu

Villain Ven: Last night's Project Runway episode was about designers working with "real people"--as opposed to size 0 six foot tall Super-humans known as models. It was the "L'Oreal Hair Challenge of Making Over a Friend" Challenge. The ten remaining designers got ten women of varying sizes and it was their job to create a new stylish look for them. Ven Budhu, who up to now has been a top favorite because of his consistent, elegant styles and Haute Couture aesthetic, suddenly became the most hated contestant of Season 10. I, for one, was one of his "cheerleaders"...

Terri (left in her Ven Budhu Cocktail-meets-work design) and her designer, Ven with Terri's friend Theo, on the right photo

But that was all thrown out the door last night. Not because he created something majorly ugly, but because he was a disrespecting human being--toward his lovely client, a woman named Terri. Throughout the episode, he said some doozies like he was "shocked and disappointed" that he had to work with a real person and not a model, and that his client has no fashion sense and isn't fashion forward--I could go on and on...

Take That Ven!

It was so disgusting that at one point, I almost threw my carb-filled Fettuccine Alfredo dinner at him for saying all those nasty thing about--and to--his beautiful client Terri--but I didn't want to ruin my perfectly good flat-screen TV. What. Is. Ven's. Problem? And like I say in my Lifetime.com Recap--I was so surprised NO ONE--his client or her good friend who enlisted her for this Makeover--went right back at him with a "You AIN'T no WAIF yourself Ven!".

Big Is Beautiful

Important Bullet-points for Ven:

* Non-Size 4 Women Are BEAUTIFUL too!

* The Average Size of the American Woman is a 14

* Good Luck having a Fashion Business without MAJORLY apologizing to all these women

and finally

* Wouldn't it be nice to Google your name and see your fabulous fashions first...as opposed to your photo as a "Plus Size Basher"?

Moving on...let's get to some of the FUN parts of last night's Episode:

Guest Judge British fashion designer Alice Tamperley, whose client includes Catherine, Ducchess of Windsor (wearing one of her Temperley London designs at the London premiere of "War Horse"--The designer didn't know what "Hoochie Momma" meant (until Michael Kors translated it into UK-speak and said "a Tart"--in case you still don't understand Ms. Temperley...

This is HOOCHIE:

This Is Not:

Dmitry and his client Angela: Dmitry Sholokhov's look for his client was directional, very NYC, Fashion Dominatrix--It was one of the Top Looks from the episode. I loved this look. I only wished that it would have been longer--right above the knee or to-the-knee would have been perfect! But a good job Dmitry (and his HOT client Angela).

Gunnar and his client, Kim: First off, congrats to Gunnar Deatharage for NOT being a Ven Size-ist and complaining about how "big" your client was. I have to admit that I would have expected that behavior from you (you have been that Bit*** Queen "character" this season huney!) but...you were a PERFECT Gentleman. Your momma done taught you right! Now, back to Kim--she was Fabulous and Fierce on the Runway. Whatever she's drinkin'...I want SOME!!!

Brawny Girl Winner:

Before: designer Fabio Costa's client Ko-Rely (above) and her plaid non-sexually threatening plaid shirt

Ko-Rely's Muse (above)--The Brawny Paper Towel Man

After: Fabio won this "Make Over My Friend" Challenge for his original color-blocked dress for his formerly known as "Brawny Paper Towel Girl" Ko-Rely--she looked great (sans the belt)

The Hoochie Momma's:

Sonija William's twisted knot dress for her client was a little too short and the judges really didn't like it. I was surprised Alicia Hardesty's very, very tacky design--a pink taffeta badly-fitting WAAAY too short dress--did not end up at the bottom. She was VERY VERY lucky because for me, this was WORSE than who actually got the boot:

Nathan Paul's royal blue and black dress for his client--Liana who sings pop/R and B--ended up at the bottom for almost the same reasons I think Alicia's dress should have been at the bottom. Liana did look like a tacky club goer at some Vegas nightclub--and the side illusion panels did not help, but...I still think Alicia's might have been worse.

Which was MORE Hoochie in your eyes?

Here's My Recap :

You Ain't No Waif Yourself

On almost every season of "Project Runway"
there is the "Dress A Real Person Challenge." In past seasons, designers
have had to work with moms, bratty teenagers, and even on my season, we
had to make over our fellow designers. Don't remind me the outcome of
that one. Moving on... It's the challenge that both furthers the
stereotype that (some) fashion designers are body dysmorphic creatures
who worship and idolize the size 0, 6 foot tall, super human creatures
(models), and at the same time, can show that we do care about a "real
size" woman. It's an intelligent designer who can be successful at the
latter, which is of course the most important factor, since most women
are NOT a size 0, 2 or even an 8 for that matter. In actuality the
average american woman is a size 14. So with that in mind, let's start
this week's recap:

I Have Style ... But My Friend Doesn't

Heidi waltzes onto the "Runway" stage and announces that "for your
next challenge, we have some new clients for you." Ten men and women
enter and flank Miss Klum. Before the remaining 10 designers can whisper
in disgust a, "Are we creating something for them?!" Heidi adds, "Well,
these aren't your new clients ... you'll be creating looks for their
FRIENDS." It's the L'Oreal Hair Challenge of Making Over a Friend. OK,
now you can cut to the designers giving looks of "We have to dress REAL
PEOPLE!?" Even Heidi noticed the "Oh no" looks as she tries to remind
the designers that "this might be a lot of fun..." The operative word
here is MIGHT. Even Heidi wasn't buying what she was selling — knowing
there is bound to be designer/client drama. They all head to the Parsons
workroom where Tim awaits with L'Oreal consulting hair stylist Johnny
Lavoy, who will help in creating the friend makeover transformations.

Meet Your Clients

Time to meet each of the designers' "real life clients" who were
(supposedly) chosen for each designer at random: Sonjia gets Amanda, a
sweat pant-loving tomboy who hates to shop. Elena is handed Jenna, who
is "bubbly" and loves color. Christopher gets Kate, who is hoping for a
trendy jacket. Dmitry is paired with Angela who likes chunky jewelry and
contrast. Alicia gets Martina, who wants men to marry her and women to
BE her (at-a-girl!). And finally, Melissa gets Kannace who likes
dresses...

Men's Fashion Tips For Body Types - 15 Rules.

Here are 15 Quick Fashion tips:

1. Fit is King

The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body – without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic. We call it “Bad Fit Disease”.

2. Keep it simple

You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors. Don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more. Check out out our article on basics to refresh yourself on what are essential wardrobe items.

3. Change the way you see casual C

asual doesn’t have to be boring. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently.

4. Pay attention to your supporting pieces

Some sweaters are lean and others are big and chunky. The first rule of thumb is that your top and bottom halves need to match. If you’re wearing a big, chunky, rugged fisherman knit sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged, too. Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.

5. Never go shopping alone

Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion. Also, read about shopping on a budget.

6. Stay a notch above

Don’t overdo it to a fault, but dare to take some risks. It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you’re going to be with and just step it up one notch. But make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting, like your boss. 7. Never underestimate the power of details – The last thing on is usually the first thing noticed. So mind the details instead of throwing together the main parts of your outfit. “Details” can include a scarf, a subtle pocket square, or the way you tie your tie knot.

8. Invest in a superb pair of shoes

If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.

9. Fashion Tees with logos

When you’re going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame Coca-Cola shirt and go for a classic v-neck tee or something artsy (check out threadless.com).

10. Disregard trends

Beware of buying something just because it’s “in” right now – stick to what you truly like. A lot of people rush to get in on the latest trend and end up with a bunch of clothes they don’t wear. It’s better to learn to build a versatile and timeless wardrobe first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion. This one tip will save you so much money! Read up on our compiled list of 40 Common Men’s Fashion Mistakes for extra info.

11. Don’t be a sucker for brand names

Don’t be a Patrick Bateman. Before you decide to purchase an item, ask yourself if you are buying it simply because of the brand name or because you love the quality and style. Ask yourself, “Would I buy this if there was no logo on it?” Check out our article on how to look designer for less.

12. Continually cultivate your image

Invest more time and money into your image. Cultivate your fashion sense. Your style is a huge mode of communication, and is worth caring for as much as your education, career, and relationships. Sign up for our free crash course on knowing your own style. Oscar Schoffler, longtime fashion editor of Esquire once said, “Never underestimate the power of what you wear. After all, there’s just a small bit of yourself sticking out at the collar and cuff. The rest of the world sees what you drape on your frame.”

13. Ask for real feedback

Most of your friends and family aren’t going to go out of their way to tell you what looks bad. You have to ask for it. In fact, ask anyone and everyone you trust to tell you the truth. Ask your hairstylist, ask your best friend, ask your mother!

14. Upgrade your shave

Even if your fashion is golden, an unkempt beard can be an attraction killer. Achieve a perfect shave by trying a shave brush & old-fashioned double-edged razor.

15. Experiment with style

The only way you’ll really learn, is if you go out there and try new things. I make an effort to try something completely out of my comfort zone whenever I’m at a store – many times you’ll end up loving something you never thought you would. If you make mistakes, life goes on. So many guys are afraid to express themselves through their style, don’t be one of them. Check out our article on how to put an outfit together.

Marc Jacobs wants to control the entire fashion world

My name is Angel Barta. I am fashion designer at Angel Barta VIP Couture.

Marc Jacobs has been stealing my unique ideas for 5 years. He copied all my designs and photos for many big brands and fashion magazines without my permission.

A video with me:

MAGYARUL KATT IDE

Why is Marc Jacobs torturing me?

He is a sick, egomaniac person, who manipulates everyone!

He can't stand the fact that I denied to do the humiliating things he asked me to.
( He asked me to do many disgusting things in order to be a model)

What is his goal?

1. He wants to be the most powerful fashion designer in the world with MY talent.

2. He wants to control the entire fashion world.

3. He wants to break me by using MY talent meanwhile he suppressed my efforts at creating a career for myself through psychological torture.

4. He wants to go on using MY talent since he is obsessed with me and he knows that my ideas and my style are certain key to success.

How does Marc Jacobs copy me?

He copies every single details on my photos. He uses each photo for more times.
He copies the background, the concept, the colours, the poise, the mood, the outfit. I am wearing my own designed clothes on my photos. I design and make clothes.

He copies anything I do. He has ex-collegues and friends working at almost every big fashion brand. They support him because they know how much money my ideas are worth. He brings my ideas to Dior, Nina Ricci, Stella McCartney, Chanel, Prada, Ungaro, Dolce Gabbana, Balenciaga with the help of his friends. (Katie Grand, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Camille Micheli, Peter Copping, etc.)

I was silent for 5 years, because I believed he would own up to designing about me. I did not want him to have any problems or a big scandal... I always hoped he would leave me alone and let me live my life but he did not, he behaved more and more sick...

A couple of months ago I started spreading my true story with Marc Jacobs, he and his friends seriously life-threatened me! They want me to shut up and accept the fact that they are using my talent meanwhile ignoring my person from the fashion world.

You may ask how is that possible?

Well, everything started at the beginning of 2008, when I was only 16 years old.
I met Marc Jacobs at his gym in Paris. He noticed how special my style was from the first moment. He knew that he could earn huge money with my talent. He saw the business in me. He invited me to his Louis Vuitton fashion show and the dinner after. He has been stalking me since then.

He promised he would make the biggest topmodel out of me, because he could sell anything with my face. He said I was the first woman he fell in love with. He fooled with me with love, marriage, kids and topmodel carrier .I believed his every word!

He asked me to inspire him with my photos, my designes, my energy and my love.

In 2008 Summer he invited to his office, where he did a private casting, only for me and he took my measurements personally.

He mentioned our meeting at his office on his profile in New Yorker Magazine in 2008 Sept.1. Click here, to read the article

For two years we spoke 10 hours every day. Jacobs wanted to know everything about me. He became obsessed with my personality and the unique style I represent. He said my energy was vital for him. He told me he needed me, because with my talent he could be the new Picasso, he wanted to write his name with Golden Letters into the Fashion History. He copied my photos in his campaignes and replaced his long-time photographers with MY favourite photographer Steven Meisel. Since 2008 Meisel shoots all his Louis Vuitton Campaignes.

Marc Jacobs in the Industrie Magazine, dressed up as Angel Barta. The stylist was Katie Grand.

Watch me in this video sending a message for Marc Jacobs,
the Thief of The Century!!

I made this video in 2012 summer. I was wearing my own designes stripped Angel Barta dress. In 2012 summer polka dots were the must have trends of the summer. 2 months later Jacobs designed a collection full of stripped outfits... each single outfit was stripped!

In 2008 Jacobs copied my style for his fashion shows ( for Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton). It was a huge success! Marc became overwhelmed by the success.

He told me he loved me and he would tell the fashion world the next time that he designed about me, and he would make the biggest fashion designer out of me and we would work together officially. I believed him that he would support me to be able to work in the fashion industry and I helped him for free. I did not get anything for my ideas, only his nice words and fake promises.

Jacobs kept torturing me: Saying he loved me, sending me love messages, poems, he wrote love songs and asked famous singers to sing it. He made those singers to wear the clothes he designed about me. For example Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift. ( Rachel Zoe, famous stylist supports MJ and dresses the celebs)

After more seasons I started to realize that MJ was just using my talent for his own success. I noticed that he hacked my cell phone, he knew all my text messages, emails, he was checking my facebook. He contacted my friends from fake accounts and sent them messages.

After a while I stopped talking to him. I realized that he never loved me. He just loved the success he got from my talent. He took advantage of my pure feelings for him.
I wanted to break up with him! He kept calling me, texting me, but I never answered. I stopped giving him photos.... I wanted to forget him... but he did not leave me alone. He wrote me every day that he would kill himself if I don't answer.

Jacobs became more and more obsessed with me and did many crazy and cruel things to steal my ideas and keep me in a secret. He is afraid of my talent. He does everything to hide me!

He stalkes me. He hired people to follow me all day and take photos and videos on me on the street for Jacobs. This way he could copy everything I was wearing. Marc Jacobs started to make fashion videos, copying my life, my memories, my moments. The models has to act and poise the way I do. They have to copy my movements.

For his Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Campaign Jacobs copied every details from my photos that were taken in 2008 in Paris

He used Rubble/Freestone background and a painting. The model had the same poise on the picture.

Jacobs has an undercover man at Dior. She is Camille Micheli, who has worked with Jacobs for many many years at Louis Vuitton. Now she tells Jacobs all the secrets and gossips she hears at Dior.
Read the details on how Jacobs control Dior and copied my photos for the Dior campaignes, here.

Marc Jacobs, the Manipulator

Jacobs wants to lead the everything. He tries to crontrol the celebrities also.
Rachel Zoe, famous stylist from Hollywood dresses up the stars in Marc's clothes. (For example in the last minute Anna Hathaway wore a pink Prada dress- designed by MJ for the Oscars instead of the Valentino gown she was planning to wear.)

Kissing with Rachel Zoe

He puts his friends, ex- collegues at many differant fashion brands.
He has Camille Micheli at Dior ( She used to work at the PR Louis Vuitton, with Marc Jacobs for more then 10 years, before MJ got her " Creative- Jewelry Director" Job at Dior in 2009)
Peter Copping at Nina Ricci. ( He used to be the right hand of Marc Jacobs for 10 years at LV before he got the creative director job at Nina Ricci in 2009, thanks to MJ)

And his main supporter....

KATIE GRAND

Katie Grand supports him in his cruel game against me. Katie Grand works for many big brands and fashion magazines. She is the editor of LOVE and POP Magazine. With her help Jacobs can copy my ideas and spread it in the whole fashion world. Marc Jacobs is egomaniac and wants to control the whole fashion world. He gives ideas for his competitors.With Katie Grand he copies my ideas not just for Louis Vuitton but also for Balenciaga, Prada, Miu Miu, Giles, Ungaro, Versace, Dolce Gabbana etc. He makes the topmodels, he decides who's gonna be the next IT Girl, who will be in most of the campaignes, not just in his ads, but in every brand.

Marc Jacobs " the soul-terrorist"

I wrote a 500 pages long book about the first 2 years of my relationship with Marc Jacobs. The title is " The Secret Love Affair in Paris". I was hoping MJ would leave me alone after reading my book. I wrote honestly about my dreams, wishes and feelings. Jacobs used every information against me. He gave all my dreams for other models from my country in order to break me. Jacobs' main supporter, stylist and editor Katie Grand casted the Hungarian girls in all her key shows and shoots. (for example, a Hungarian model, Vanessa has been the face of Prada for 3 seasons already, this is the first time someone gets such long Prada contract) They have to dress up in my style and copy me and my poises in the editorials. Anywhere I go must face the photos he copied. I see my ideas in the magazines, on the campaignes on the street etc.
You can read more details on how he pressured me with the Hungarian models, click here

Marc's best buddy Kanye West recently stole a Hungarian song. The band Omega is going to sue him. Marc asked Kanye to copy their music without permission. Read the details here.

Marc Jacobs does not want me to have the energy to let the truth out so that people will know that all of his creations were originally my ideas. He designs my style, my soul, everything that is me!
Marc is more than pleased to show me how other girls easily get success in the fashion world through him, meanwhile he ignores me from the fashion industry.

A very talented Hungarian fashion designer called Tamás Király was brutally beaten to death in his apartment in Budapest, in 2013 April.9.. Three weeks before his death he met Marc Jacobs in Paris, you can see the photo Tamás posted on his facebook:

Marc Jacobs the sex addicted Porn Baron

Marc Jacobs makes his acting debut in a new film "Disconnect". He plays Harvey, a character he describes as 'sleazy' who lures underage kids off the street with the promise of shelter and income, for web-chat porn and prostitution.

'In the end, I’m really not a bad character. I’m actually the one who is protecting them in a way. I’ve taken them off the streets, and they don’t get harmed. They’re doing something that is virtual, though they are talking about sex. But you can look at it two ways,' he explained. text via dailymail

Well, his role in the movie is very interesting since Marc Jacobs is really into chat-sex in real life too. In my book I already wrote in 2010 how much he loves sex on the internet and how many perverse messages he sent me for years. He has been harassing me since I was 16 years old. Jacobs is playing himself in the movie actually... his real perverse side.

Watch Marc Jacobs ask a 15 years old kid if He " Jerks off" in new Disconnect clip

Guess, I don't need to explain why you see Cara Delenvigne everywhere lately. Delevingne’s rise to modeling stardom can be tracked back to Marc Jacobs and Katie Grand, who frequently puts Delevingne in (and even on the cover of) her magazine, Love. By the way Kate Moss ( the other woman who is so passionately french kissing Jacobs) is on the cover of the same issue of LOVE Magazine. It was Jacobs' idea to launch the Love Magazine and he put Katie Grand as editor in chief.The models featured in the magazine have to realise all his perverse fantasies in the editorials.

My other article: Marc Jacobs is obsessed with women, it seems that he is not gay really. He supports the Hungarian models, click here

You may ask now, what does Marc Jacobs think about my articles where I unfold his dark side ?

Marc Jacobs sent me

a serious life-threatening message

I ask everyone who supports the truth, to help me and share my link on facebook or twitter. Please help the truth to be out in public!
I'd like to have a free life without Marc Jacobs stalking me.

Here are a few examples...

Here is my video in front of the Louis Vuitton Tent during Paris Fashion Week. This is what I feel every season before his shows... knowing that the models are inside fitting the clothes that were originally my ideas... and I.. I have to be standing outside...

18 years old Lily McMenamy had to walk topless on his latest fashion show in New York. She said Marc told her how to hold her breasts in one hand. Marc did not let her go home until 2.am. Read my article with details: If you want to walk the Marc Jacobs runway, all you have to do is to satisfy his perverse fantasy.
