The 20 Worst PR Looks of All Time

You heard us. Twenty. Because there was no way in hell we could have narrowed it down to just ten. We tried, kittens, but it was far too Herculean a task for two l'il ol' bloggers like us.

Besides, we get to wring more posts out of it.

Except for the Top 5, you're going to have to take any of the rankings with a grain of salt. There was such a hairbreadth's difference in awfulness between some of these looks that we practically had to flip a coin to decide what goes where. And unlike the Top Ten lists, where we actively tried to represent a range of designers instead of having the same designer appear 5 times, this time we said "Screw it. If they're bad enough to appear on the list more than once, they earned it," so you WILL see some designers make more than one appearance on the list.

Alright! Let's start the crapfest!

Number 20

Season 4 - Episode 1: "Sew Us What You Got"
Designer: Carmen Webber

When Lorenzo showed Tom this picture, he completely blanked on which episode it was from and said "So...what? She had to make it out of garbage? Old clothes? Help me out here." When Lorenzo reminded him that it was from the first episode of Season 4, when they ran through Bryant Park to snag fabric samples, Tom's jaw dropped. "Oh right. She had FREE REIN to do whatever she wanted! And she did that!"

We think that sums it up.

Number 19

Season 2 - Episode 5: "Social Scene"
Designer: Guadalupe Vidal

LUPE! The highlight of Season 2. Oh don't get us wrong, there were your Santinos and Uncle Nicks, and Danny V's, but for us, Season 2 is fondly remembered for its LUPEness. This concoction, desperately offered up to guest judge Nicky Hilton as a cocktail dress, is awesome in its LUPE-osity.

Number 18

Season 2 - Episode 2: "Clothes Off Your Back"
Designer: Kirsten Ehrig

We still think this was kind of a shame. Kirsten didn't manage to stay around long, but we had a feeling she was a better designer than she came across on the show. Some people just don't "get" reality TV competitions and what's being asked of them. To her credit, she knew she had a loser with this NASCAR Slut look, badly repurposed (like Frankenstein clothes) from the clothes off her back in S2E2.

Number 17

Season 2 - Episode 2: "Clothes Off Your Back"
Designer: Marla Duran

Two in a row from the same episode! Why it is that two adult women, dressed appropriately, couldn't pull together enough fabric from their own clothes to dress a size zero model without making her look either freezing cold, or slutty? Whoresicles.

Number 16

Season 3 - Episode 5: "Iconic Statement"
Designer: Bradley Baumkirchner

Ah, yes. The moment in Season 3 when every gay man watching rolled his eyes and said, "He's straight." Kittens, he DIDN'T KNOW WHO CHER WAS. Apparently, he got just enough information from his model about the legendary performer to conclude that she buys all her clothes in Walmart's Halloween costume section and offered up this highly flammable result.

Put down the joint, pick up the phone, and CALL ME!

The fabulous Amanda sent us this:


Bradley Bongkirchner! HOT!

We always thought he was puppy-cute, but that is hot-guy-at-the-gym cute! Looks like he got the Reality Television Makeover, otherwise known as the "Wendy Pepper," or "Shit, do I really look like that?"

Bradley honey, ditch the bitch and make the switch. We are FIGHTING over who gets to do you.

Bradley The Pooh.

Awwwww. We were kind of heartbroken last night when Bradley Bongkirchner got auf'd. Yeah, the outfit was an affront to all that is fierce and fabulous in this world, and yeah, if Cher was standing in front of him when he presented that thing she probably would have ripped his head off and swallowed it whole, but who doesn't love our tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff?

Bye Bradley!

Bradley and Alison bond.

Alison: "Haha! Dude, my dog totally looks like you."
Bradley: "Oh wow, my dog totally looks like you. Haha!"
Alison: "Haha!"
Bradley: ...
Alison: ...
Bradley: "I'll give you a quarter ounce for the dog."
Alison: "Deal."

"Dude! You got any Doritos?"

Hey...am I supposed to like, make a dress or something?"
