(S02E07) This week's Ugly Betty was all about the lavish, star-studded Brad-elmina wedding. Fashion guru Vera Wang was on hand for Wilhelmina's final dress fitting, and Posh herself nearly stole the spotlight from poor Wili. Back in Queens, Ignacio was preparing for a ceremony of his own. The Suarez sisters' inability to keep secrets nearly ruined both events.

(S03E04) The designers were challenged to create a three-piece outfit for the INC clothing company. The winning outfit would be sold in Macy's stores nationwide. Surprisingly, they had to work in teams of three. Gosh, we're only four episodes in and half of the challenges have been in teams! I'm not sure I like this trend... I prefer individual challenges because it's easier to judge talent. With these team challenges, one of the biggest factors in winning is being able to pass the buck.
Anyway, Mehmet Tangoren from Macy's stopped by and picked the four team leaders: Robert, Bonnie, Keith, and Angela (!!!).

(S03E03) The designers were told to design something for one of fashion's hottest accessories. I had a few guesses... The accessory would either be an iPod, a baby (well, maternity clothes), or pets.

Their challenge: Design an outfit for their dog, a complimentary outfit for their model, and think up a narrative explanation for their creation. The narrative part seemed kind of pointless to me, but, hey, I'm no Heidi Klum.
Oh, and I just have to say this because I'm so excited... Someone's getting kicked off for being naughty in the next episode. Scandal!

(S03E02) The absolutely stunning special guest Miss USA,
Tara Conner, asked the designers to create a dress for her Miss Universe appearance. Her only requests: yes to earth-tones, no to white, backless is a plus. What an amazing opportunity! Especially this early in the game. All fourteen designers presented sketches to Tara, but she chose only seven to be created. The seven chosen designers had to pick teammates. Angela was incredibly annoying because she kept bugging at Kayne to pick her. Everyone in the room heard her, so she ended up being chosen last... by Vincent (and she had to correct him when he called her "Alison"... Insult to injury, yeah?).
