I cannot help but remember how I felt going into Project Runway 1's finale. I wanted Jay to win so badly! I watched nervously, I loved his collection, HE WON, I whooped! Whoo! I thought I would be wearing his clothes by now, but the fashion business is harder than I knew.
Having seen that, the PR finales feel a bit different. Winning PR doesn't guarantee you anything: if the winner does become "the next great American designer," it won't happen for a while. The finale is still fun to watch, having gotten to know the designers during the season, but their careers remain to be seen!
_____________
Kenley's Collection.
I pick out these two as my favorites:
I would LOVE to wear this dress!
This look is not that feasible in the "real world," but what a pretty look. Beautiful shape._____________
Korto's Collection.
These two are my favorites:
I would totally buy this dress (if it were a bit longer). 
This one was very striking on the runway!_____________
Leanne's Collection.
Watching this collection, I think to myself: "this is the one that seems to be inventing something new, imagining a new direction."
These two are my picks for favorites.
____________
Announcing the Winner.
It's Leanne!
(Eric and I have been referring to her as "Portland Girl" this whole season -- YEAH! Go PDX! Rip City! Stumptown! The City of Roses! Bridgetown!)
I wasn't really rooting for any one of the THREE WOMEN finalists - I liked Leanne and Korto all along - but I do agree with this decision. Well done, judges!
Portland must be excited tonight!

I can't say as I had even a clue as to what you were talking about as I had never seen the show but, that being said, I would pick any of the designers as long as the bodies came with the clothes. Barb, why don't you look into that for me! xxoo Noni
Great posting, I have not seen the show here in Portland - without cable, but certainly enjoy it when I'm visiting you. Leanne is leaving Portland, heading to New York. She is in a headline article in today's Oregonian. I haven't figured out how to construct the folds like she does, when will the patterns come out? Thanks for the contact - loved it. Mom
