Fantasy League results

SISTER CHRISTIAN: All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately "Project Runway" is now a memory, as well as our first fantasy league. Christian claimed victory, thanks in no small part to Posh Spice's vote. I'm all for adding some credibility to the show with famous fashionista's like Posh, but it would be nice if the designers were judged, for the final, by the three judges who know them best and have seen their triumphs and tragedies throughout the season. Truth be told, I wasn't fully crazy about any of the last three collections, but I thought Jillian's was the strongest overall. It was contemporary, wearable and covetable, all things Christian's collection was not. Christian is a good designer, no doubt, but he excels at costumes, not clothes for everyday living. And I'm all for the Viktor & Rolf's and Alexander McQueen's succeeding in the business, but if I'm going to pick the next great designer it's the Miuccia Pradas and Marc Jacobs who have the greater impact on people's lives. The clothes you see at the mall are inspired by their collections, not by those of the avant-garde artists. Jillian was robbed! FANTASY LEAGUE RESULTS: In the end I couldn't be caught, thanks to a few early wins, but it was close! Brad and Julia tied for second, and were only one win behind me. Kate and Angy finished in third with four wins, and Rachel was in fourth place with three wins. Unfortunately Andrea finished last with one win, but there's always next season!
