This Week on Millionaire Matchmaker

Just because you are a millionaire, it doesn't mean you know how to use that money to dress right. Patti brings in the big guns, her favorite image consultant to help her client Matt look the part of a successful and interesting man as opposed to quirky and uptight. Also struggling with appropriate style, Patti's millionairess of the week Elena, doesn't mind showing a little (or rather, a LOT) of skin. Will Matt and Elena agree to play by Patti's rules and attract the right kind of date or will the two clients stick with the looks that have failed them in the past? Find out this Tuesday 12/28 @9/8c on BRAVO's The Millionaire Matchmaker 4.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Has Camille taken the Kyle vs. Camille feud too far? Camille decides that her and her husband no longer want to work with Kyle's husband, but Kyle is not going to let it go that easy. Taylor's party might be the perfect place for Kyle to mend fences and get Camille back on her side. Or, based on previous interactions, it may just blow up in their faces once again. Will the ladies give it yet another try at friendship or will their drama ruin Taylor's big event? Find out this Thursday 12/23 @10/9c on BRAVO's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Thank you David!

BB Love to David Caldwell

This week's challenge was particularly difficult in that it involved re-purposing clothes from the Lost and Found into a coherent collection. While David had lots of good ideas in using the various print fabrics he found, the judges were not thrilled with his over-accessorizing.

Poor David - he just admitted he had feelings for fellow contestant Dominique, and now he has to wait to see her again.

David - good luck with your future endeavors. You have talent and you have the potential to go far in the fashion world.

This post is only for positive comments about David and his work. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please do so in our Reactions post.

Congratulations, Dominique Pearl David!

Although this challenge may have been difficult, Dominique really stepped up and used great imagination in re-purposing an umbrella and making a cute dress. The trench coat alterations completed the look and impressed the judges. Dominique's winning design was head and shoulders above the rest of her competition and even among her team-mates.

It was only a matter of time that we would see this young designer win a challenge. With immunity next week, it will be interesting to see how she keeps her promise to show us a different side of Dominique.

This post is only for positive comments about Dominique and her designs. If you have anything negative to say about her or her competition, please do so in our Reactions post.

The designers take a field trip to New Jersey where they are granted access to the lost and found area at Hoboken train station.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Camille has the grand idea that a dinner party with the ladies will get their friendship back on track and put the past behind them. Boy is she wrong. The dinner quickly takes a turn for the worst as ladies square off in screaming matches across the table. With match ups of Kyle vs. Camille and Taylor vs. Kim, the ladies leave no topic unturned during this unforgettable evening.

Blogging Bravo Interview with Golnessa Farmanara

Thank you Golnessa!

BB Love to Golnessa Farmanara

The House of Emerald has struggled throughout this competition, and this week was no different. Although the concept of pale and golden-hued fabrics was perfect for the OC Housewives, some of the gowns suffered in execution. Unfortunately, Golnessa's was one of them. She had issues with fit after her housewife left her Spanx at home, and her dress turned out too tight. But the judges' least favorite part was the attached mermaid flounce at the bottom.


Golnessa, we're sorry to see you go and we at Blogging Bravo wish you nothing but success in your future.


This post is only for positive comments about Golnessa. If you have anything negative to say about her or her competition, please do so here.

Congratulations, Eduardo de las Casas!

Congratulations yet again to designer Eduardo de las Casas who has been setting the House on fire with his designs. This makes three wins for Eduardo, and I'm betting we're probably going to see at least one more before the show is over.


His gown for New Jersey Housewife Dina was gorgeous, it fit her perfectly and showed off her body in all the right ways. Anyone would be proud to wear it on the red carpet.


This post is only for positive comments about Eduardo. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please do so here.

Thanks Ro!

BB Love to Rolando Tamez

We at Blogging Bravo are sad to see Ro leave the competition so early, because we're sure we haven't seen all that this competitor can produce.

While his contribution to Team Nami this week spoke of 1969, the judges felt that he ignored the sensuality of the era and produced something that was boring and conservative. Maybe so, but people would wear it!

This post is only for positive comments about Rolando. If you have anything negative to say about him or his competition, please click here.

Congratulations, Jeffrey Williams!

Congratulations to Jeffrey for creating a look straight out of 1989. Even if he was only five then, he was still able to capture the feel for the time (at least according to Iman, Isaac, and Company.) The look was fresh and innovative and interesting.

Jeffrey - it's great to see you finally get a win in the competition. You're a strong designer and we're looking forward to seeing your future creations.

BB Love to Tamara Jones

Tamara Jones is a designer with a definite style, a point of view, but unfortunately it was one that did not mesh with that of her teammates in House of Emerald this week.

While the 40s vampiress vibe may not have been obvious in her work, what was obvious was Tamara's ability to whip out three finished garments in a mere 24 hours. The leather jacket was gorgeous, and in another challenge would definitely not have sent her home.

Tamara Jones, we at Blogging Bravo hope to see great things from you in the future.

This post is only for positive comments about Tamara. If you have anything negative to say about her or the other designers, please leave your comments on our Reactions post.

Congratulations, Eduardo de las Casas!

With the extra hour of work time earned with his win last week, Eduardo put out another winning dress, this time earning immunity from elimination in the next challenge.

The dress definitely gave off the aura of femme fatale that was crucial to this challenge. The high collar was reminiscent of  the collar of a trench coat worn by a female spy. Iman remarked that she would wear it - and wouldn't she make a swell spy?

Eduardo, you've won two in a row - how far can you go?

Congratulations, Eduardo!

For this week's challenge, the designers were to be inspired by the inner workings of the human body. Eduardo's gorgeous pale peach dress was evocative of the layers of the human musculature, and also fulfilled the "reversable" part of the challenge with his double-sided skirt.

Additionally, the color he chose worked beautifully with his model's coloring.

Congratulations to Eduardo and the rest of House of Nami!

Patti takes on two millionairess' this week and once again has her work cut out for her. One client, Stacy, is so stuck in her negative thoughts that it may take desperate measures to get her centered and positive. Will an exercise with crystals do the trick or are the negative and controlling thoughts too over-powering? Patti's other client, Sky, has a long list of celebrities she's dated in the past, concerning the matchmaker. Will Patti be able to get strong enough candidates to please this high-profile millionairess or is she better off finding her soul-mate on the red carpet? Find out this Tuesday 11/16 @ 9/8c on BRAVO's The Millionaire Matchmaker.

This Week, on the Fashion Show Ultimate Collection

The designers are in need of a “self examination” when they are challenged to complete a line inspired by the inner workings of the human body. While one of the fashion houses struggles, the other house works seamlessly together as they create reversible looks that mirror the notable traveling “Bodies” Exhibit®. Will the designers’ egos be the factor that brings down “Team Emerald” this week?

But perhaps flying isn't the only thing that Kyle should be afraid of during her upcoming trip. What starts out as a pleasant visit to NYC, quickly takes a turn for the worst when the fight between Camile and Kyle is refueled. Will Kyle survive the flight and the fight or should she avoid vacationing with the housewives in the future?

BB Love to Francine Simmons

From the beginning, there was friction among the members of House Emerald Syx, the majority of which occurred between Francine and Calvin. Both ended up on the bottom in this first challenge, and I have to wonder if some of the unnecessary drama didn't undermine both of their abilities to perform.

Ultimately, it was Francine who was asked to leave. She strayed a bit too far from her original sketch and produced something that Iman definitely would not have worn (or so she says).

We would have loved to see what else she could do. Good luck to Francine  in all of her future endeavors.

This post is only for positive comments about Francine. If you have anything negative to say about her or any other designer, please do so here.

Congratulations, Cesar Galindo!

Congratulations to House of Nami designer Cesar Galindo for winning the first challenge of the season! He clearly paid attention to the rules of the challenge and turned out a gorgeous gown that both looked like something the fabulous Iman would wear, and also fit in well with the rest of his team's collections.

Our attention is piqued and we're looking forward to seeing what he does in the rest of the challenges.

Will Patti be able to find a good match for her creepy new client or do his issues run too deep?

Meet the Designers - Calvin Tran

Calvin Tran earned his BFA from the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago and quickly landed a job as Creative Director for Zabari in New York City. Yearning to get his own designs in the market, Calvin opened his first store, Sac Boutique, in Chicago in 2000. The store became a hot spot and Calvin’s fashions were suddenly in demand, prompting him to open two more store locations in New York and another in San Francisco. Using the silhouette as a canvas, Calvin’s designs compliment the softness, beauty and elegance of the female figure. His edgy yet versatile designs have been recognized by publications such as The New York Times, Women’s Wear Daily, Lucky Magazine, and Cosmopolitan, and several celebrities have been seen in his clothing including Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields, Gina Gershon and Piper Perabo. In 2004, Calvin was awarded the Style Breaker award by the Fashion International Group. In addition to operating his three boutiques, Calvin continues to find time to create his own designs while also presenting at various fashion shows.

Meet the Designers - Cesar Galindo

Cesar Galindo lives and breathes for fashion. As the youngest of 11 children, he was exposed to the fundamentals of design at a very early age. His mother was an excellent seamstress and his father’s sense of style gave him the ability to understand and conceptualize clothing design. As a teenager, Cesar made dresses and sold them in consignment stores around his hometown of Houston. Although naturally gifted, his formal training began when he worked for The Miami City Ballet as the assistant to Jose Varona III. While working under Varona, Cesar learned the intricacies of costume design –- the delicacies, elaborateness and the value in its beauty and construction. Cesar’s many accomplishments include working for Calvin Klein and Dolce and Gabanna, designing costumes for celebrities including Madonna, Mary J. Blige and Missy Elliot, and creating the wardrobe for Chaka Khan’s World Tour with Prince in 1999. Most recently, he has designed for Gwen Stefani’s clothing line L.A.M.B. for her Spring 2011 collection, designed Joan Jett’s red carpet and world tour wardrobe, and re-launched his own namesake couture cocktail and eveningwear label “Cesar Galindo.” An expert dressmaker with the flare for drama, Cesar’s dresses and gowns are lined in his signature fuchsia charmeuse. His motto? “Life should always be bright and colorful from the inside out!”

While at F.I.T., Jeffrey studied abroad at Politecnico di Milano in Milan, Italy, and developed a love for the culture and working internationally. He also participated in the prestigious Art Specialization Program, which led him to his professional career as in fashion illustration. Jeffrey graduated from F.I.T in 2009 with a Bachelors in International Fashion Design and a focus on Sportswear, Knit Wear, and Fashion Illustration. Jeffrey has worked with Alexander Wang, Peter Som, and international stylist Patti Wilson.

Presently residing in New York, his design aesthetic is influenced by magical life moments, indigenous communities, the power of his dreams and his loved ones.

Shortly after arriving to the U.S., he unearthed his passion for fashion design. Keeping true to his zeal for the fashion world, Eduardo held down jobs in other industries to pay for design school. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 2005 and received awards for Best Couture, Best Club Wear, Highest Achiever, and Best Future Designer in his class. Since then, he has designed for several well-known Florida clothing companies. Eduardo’s unique ability to combine diverse textures with contemporary designs enables him to create sophisticated, sexy and distinctive looks that are influenced by his Latin culture. His experience spans across all genres of clothing including menswear, women’s wear, swimwear, children’s wear, evening, bridal and sportswear. His designs have been featured in publications, fashion shows, and television series including She’s Got the Look and the Latin reality show Nuestra Belleza Latina. Eduardo’s designs have also been worn by celebrities and contestants of the Miss Universe pageant. In 2008, Eduardo was awarded the “Emerging Designer” Award at Miami Fashion Week.

Meet the Designers - Rolando "Ro" Tamez

Rolando "Ro" Tamez was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Rolando attended Wade College where he graduated with an Associates Degree in Fashion Design and Merchandising in 2008. His looks and attitude have always set him apart from the crowd and his approach to design is just as bold and daring. Rolando loves being able to design something pure and classic one moment and design something theatrical and "dragesque" the next. Keeping up with the trends of the current economy, Rolando has tailored his designs to include the budget-conscious consumer. He uses old clothing to recreate new designs that are one of a kind. Just this year, Rolando held his very first fashion show and was featured on two covers of Houston based JMG Magazine. Currently, he is in the process of creating an online boutique to sell his clothing. His best fashion advice is: “Never fear what anyone might think or say about what you wear. Confidence is the best outfit you will ever wear.”
