Re: Kortu's Project Runway Dress

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw her wearing a Mark Z gown. When I watched that PR episode I knew she wouldn't wear any of those dresses IMO one was worse than the other. Just going through the motions, so the Q agreed to sell it and they did. This seems to be the new Q. Now it's a Miss Piggy tote, what's next?

I don't watch Project Runway, but I can see why Lisa didn't want to wear this dress. Her sense of style in formal wear is more sophisticated.

Lisa selected the dress as her favorite in the show, when the judges were openly discussing the options. Not many of the other judges had much positive to say about it. Then it won. I have to think that it won, because it was LR's favorite. IMHO

Re: Kortu's Project Runway Dress

The whole PR challenge was not fair to Lisa or the designers. It was to design a dress for the Oscar Red Carpet and to be sold to the QVC customers. Can't be done. No one is going to buy a super fancy dress from QVC and Lisa is not going to wear a dress that is not Red Carpet appropriate. They made the mistake in not saying this dress will be worn during the Red Carpet trip. It was misleading. They said it will be worn at the Red Carpet Party.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

How can you know that it was Lisa who made the decision about when and how long to wear the PR dress?

It wasn't Lisa's favorite dress, she liked the white one.

Thanks for the photo. I think Lisa looks great in Korto's dress, but I also think Lisa wanted a more sophisticated dress for this red carpet event.

When will you folks ever learn?

Lisa wears what she is told to wear. QVC had a contract with Project Runway and honored it (see pic of Lisa and Miss Piggy).

They also have a promotional contract with Mark Zunino and with others. The talent (Lisa) can suggest, but she doesn't get the final say so.

unfortunately, some look for any little thing to be offended about when it comes to lisa. {#emotions_dlg.sad}

There is no offense in my post at all. I did not criticize Lisa at all. I said she looked great in Korto's dress, but preferred a more sophisticated look.

i'm sorry. my comment was in regards to the original poster that started this thread.

Ok.
