Eve Saint Laurence:
Whew, you bitch, I almost get mad that you slay me so much. But at least this is proof that we're related, or something. Your 3D printed bikini serving alien beaches of Venus (and those shoes, good lord); I live. I was expecting you to put on a thigh-high boot with a bikini, and I'm thankful you didn't. Your White Party was almost my favorite tonight; I realize the dress itself is simple, but it embodies everything about minimalism at its finest, and you pushed with your accessories (House of Emmanuelle? YES GAWD), hair and makeup (poor Kim Chi); it also seems everyone has a lil' black in them with that shoe. Your Executive Realness was the only puzzler for me; it has a vague essence of 80's business woman, and the dress itself is almost floral, but it doesn't really stay too true to the theme itself. Oh, well, I still live because it looks good (don't I always?). And then you used one of my absolute favorite dresses, that John Galliano for Christian Dior (Was that 1998? I believe so-- someone fact check that one for me), and I'm just #STUNNED. Brilliant job, but I expected that from you, even if you probably did this in 15 minutes.

Nina Williams:
n I'll be frank in saying I wasn't interested in literally any of these. Your White Party and your Botanical Eleganza were the most interesting to me, but even then, I couldn't find myself in love with them. I won't even talk about the basic monstrosities that are your Bikini and Executive Realness-- truly un-noteworthy. I was torn on your White Party; part of me thinks it's genius to include a flash of color in there, as it really stands out and does look stunning, but that flies in the face of the theme itself-- and are those MoonChild's Sphynx earrings? Sisterhood of the traveling outfits this week. And then your Eleganza was the best look here I believe-- this is what I was expecting when I said it was open to interpretation how you chose to execute your outfit, and I think you did that well. Butterfly wings and that fascinator that almost borders on Manila nonsense, yet it isn't totally tacky. At least you could put together something competently; too bad you still failed to shine. Now's not the time.

Pixel Dark:
You ****, how the **** did you actually manage to put together outfits that aren't 100% horrible? Oh, wait-- MoonChild helped you. I swear to God, that man isn't **** for giving you an outfit that I told him EYE was going to use; at least it makes sense now why he said this would do you favors. That Jane Doe Latex dress is a personal favorite piece of mine, and I guess I'm happy to see it on this runway or something. And it looks like you took a cue from me again-- when in doubt, put a Louboutin on it. Your White Party look is clearly the best of your four this week, and it almost reminds me of MoonChild's Studio 54; but that isn't to discredit you, I'm just saying it reminds me of another good look from this runway and so that in itself is a good thing. Your Bikini barely deserves words; the adding a dress on top of it was interesting enough but I'm not fond of the lace ups looking so lazy (even though I suppose that was intentional). Your Eleganza is horrible, though, so props to you staying true to yourself and doing something I really couldn't care any less to look at. But despite that, you did a surprisingly good job this week and that in itself deserves some sort of reward.

Tangerine:
Is this your Bob in the Biographical Ball edit? We were expecting actual, 100% glamour eleganza for your final look, and you gave us this **** that I swear I saw at ComicCon where someone dressed up as the baby sun from The TeleTubbies or something. It's hideous, and I mean that-- though, I suppose you were limited by the flower you got (poor that); the hair, necklace and crown are good touches, though. I was absolutely in love with your Beach Wear; a transparent raincoat is one of my own old faithful staples, and to see it in this electric green with a visor was a stun. A shame about the remainder two looks of yours-- decently put together and yet unentertaining and unsatisfying on their own. My personal thoughts on your White Party and Executive Realness were "Prostitute" and "Yawn", respectively. A disappointing week from you in general.

Carbon's Critiques

For these critiques I see little point in telling any of you "what you should do next time" considering how deep we are in the competition so expect my critiques to be brief. I'll try be straight up and to the point so there's no malice in any of the comments!

Nina Williams
Blossoming Beach Wear Babe - Incredibly boring really and I'm surprised that you thought this was acceptable in the top 4. There's no characterisation present in this runway that relates to yourself and I think completely ignoring the "blossoming" part of the criteria enhances how plain this look is.

White Party Eleganza - Again... this is just so plain. It really doesn't stand out at all Nina - if anything, it stands out how ill thought it seems. The splashes of colours are a nice touch, I guess, but this is just a nice fishy white dress that almost anyone could have submitted.

Budding Business Executive Realness - See above.

Full Bloom Botanical Eleganza Extravaganza - Now this is something I can get behind. Your explanation for what the Black Lotus symbolised was kinda extra and I doubt the other judges really care too much. This is a mostly well thought out concept that translate into something unique, whilst utilising your video game references that make you stand out, which I really wish you'd done for your other three looks. It perplexes me that I've continually pushed you to use this schtick you have in almost all your looks because you usually do it well, and yet you continue to be selective about it. Overall, I do like this look. I'm not sure it immediately reads as a lotus, but I get the reference, and it looks nice.

Pixel Dark
Blossoming Beach Wear Babes - Again, I'm disappointed that you didn't try to fuse your assigned flower into your other looks. I also agree that beach wear looks can be boring and I appreciate that you tried to mix it up with your string dress, but everything else mostly falls into the generic side that almost any contestant could have submitted.

White Party Eleganza - Pixel Dark is a glamorous drag queen I see. I loooooove the detailing on the dress, and your idea to go for winter bitch is pretty nice and executed well. Good job on this one!

Budding Business Executive Realness - It's actually stupid how erect PVC/latex looks make me. I love this. This gives me 2010's tumblr chick going to a sexcratary job interview. I really enjoy this look. If you could have implemented some studs or spikes somewhere in the look and said "this is a thorned rose" you would've been golden.

Full Bloom Botanical Eleganza Extravaganza - Ok you better stan Roserade! I would like this look more if it was more inspired rather than cosplay. This feels too on point to the source material and not really your own creation. It does read rose... but that's really only because you're carrying two giant rose bouquets.

Eve Saint Laurence
Blossoming Beach Wear Babes - WHEW. This is a look. I love everything about this. The unique geometry of the shoes and corset make it extremely eye catching, and I think equating blossoming = birth/nakedness is really cool. Amazing!

White Party - Toot.

Budding Business Executive Realness - Hmm, I'm kinda mixed with this. I like the layered effect of the top piece but everything else feels kinda meh, especially since you think you're cool enough to provide absolutely no description for any of your looks.

Full Bloom Botanical Eleganza Extravaganza - I think this is your biggest fail of your entry. I really don't see how this translates to orchid, and it isn't my job as a judge to fill in the gaps for you since, again, you provided no description or references where you were taking your entry.

Tangerine
Blossoming Beach Wear Babes - You better snatch them extra points for Carrie! Your look is very interesting. A see through coat with an interesting swimsuit underneath? It feels very... familiar. S2 familiar. I can't think where I might have seen it before. Anyway. This is great. The transparent raincoat is super cute and unique, and the visor gives it a cute camp element. Wish you'd had some more floral/botanical elements, but when you managed to pull off a look this well (@Eve) you kinda forget the bad parts.

White Party Eleganza - Yes bitch! This is the sorta look I wish Pixel and Nina had done, in that its completely in tune with your own aesthetic in character; the fur coat, the big hair, the simplicity of it all! Great work.

Budding Business Executive Realness - Are you performing a coup? I'm totally here for you hosting S4. This kinda gives me a cheaper version of Aciid's dominatrix look for the same challenge last season, which I regularly touch myself to. So... toot!

Full Bloom Botanical Eleganza Extravaganza - Hmm. I'm not completely sold on this. Going by your description, it just sounded like you wanted to get the sunflower element out of the way, without really developing your look around it. If I took away the questionable sunflower skirt, your look would mostly fall apart, and so I don't think this look cohesively works together as a sunflower eleganza extravaganza. It's not a disaster though, and the look is mostly okay. I wish you'd explained where this whole nymph idea came from or if it even relates to your flower, but whatevaaaaa
