"Imagine you were 5'3 in that outfit; you'd look like Cousin It"

WARNING: SPOILERS

*My apologies for the tardy PR update; like a good majority of Americans, I grudgingly went to an overcrowded bar on Thanksgiving Eve and was not able to catch the second episode's re-airing until last night.

Episode 2 boasted a super special guest, and prior to his or her arrival, the contestants offered up some guesses--Snow White? Come on...was that serious? The doors open and in walks Miss "Fashion Icon" herself, Sarah Jessica Parker, and though Maxim magazine may disagree, she looked gorgeous.

Kevin, one of the few straight men on the show, accidentally dismissed SJP's friendly handshake, making him look like a jerk. And I'm not gonna lie, it was pretty hilarious to see a 300-pound gay man blubbering over Carrie Bradshaw and the inspiration she has given him.
The challenge was to create a new look for SJP's clothing line, BITTEN, on a $15 budget. The designers pitched their sketches and Sarah Jessica picked the top seven, who then chose a partner from the remaining seven designers.

The most obviously awkward pairing was poor Sweet P and wacko Elisa, who used her own spit to mark her "polymorphic" fabric. Yuk. The judging panel actually asked her what planet she's from...and she thought they were joking.

The judges were less than impressed with Christian and Carmen's dress--which looked like it came out of a 1982 time capsule--and Steven and Marion's outfit (right), which looked like it came out of my great grandmother's basement.

Despite their difficulty working together, the Sweet P and Elisa managed to produce a look that all the judges liked, but I gotta say...that shawl was hideous. The judges also approved of Victorya and Kevin's dress/plaid vest thing and Sarah Jessica must have said the word "simplicity" 70 times throughout the episode.

Honestly, I wasn't a fan of most of the designs in episode two. They were mostly dull and/or horrendous, and if that's what BITTEN is all about, it doesn't matter that it's "affordable" wear for the average woman--I'm not buying it.

In the end, the slightly odd and forgettable Marion was sent home for sending Pocahontas in a potatosack down the runway. Victorya's dress (left) took home top prize and a version of the dress is now available as part the BITTEN line, sold at Steve & Barry's stores.

Two down--13 to go. Make it work!
