Episode 203: Couture? Sure……… (Season 22 Episode 7)
We recorded this the night our Queen Liris released her video response to this episode and the link to that is in the show notes BECAUSE sanity! Hernease, Nayland and Patricia are back in The Workroom to discuss the profound professionalism of these models (especially Queen Liris!), IMAN, the walking sack of delusion that is Bryan, our delight in seeing some gorgeous familiar faces, how most of the designers failed Nayland’s rule for the unconventional challenge and…OH RIGHT! This was THE unconventional challenge!
Join us as we weave through the sharp edges of this episode and come out on the other end standing on another cliffhanger.
