I'm looking forward to it.

But I can still like Eric Gill's work, and Picasso's. Despite them both being wrong uns.

Of course you can like their work, but you’ve acknowledged that they are not people that should be regarded as decent human beings.

As opposed to saying ‘why would it matter?’

Eric Gill was a criminal abusive incestuous perverted monster. Grayson has a kink, no suggestion it isn’t consensual, you can’t even begin to compare them. Adults are allowed to enjoy non vanilla sex.

Well obviously, but my point was about separating the artist from the art.

Oh agree, I didn't say why would it matter.

Mandarinaduck · 26/08/2025 21:36

Gaynor seems to have lost confidence - this isn't bringing her creativity out; she seems paralysed.

I liked Stuart's transformation, I thought it was clever and subtle.

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:37

Orla's looks fun. If hard to walk in.

Why shouldn’t Grayson Perry be regarded as a decent human being, just because he has a sexual kink?

You're being ridiculous if you're suggesting that Grayson Perry is not a decent human being.

It's not misogynistic and lots of people have fetishes - if they don't affect anyone else, it's nobody else's business.

Perry has stated that he actively wanted to involve others in his fetish - getting the response from members of the public was what he wanted.

You might be happy to be used in that way, I’m not.

Sausagenbacon · 26/08/2025 21:40

Kit is very clever in his approach, I think (but his transformation was awful.
Imo

Patrick: Gaynor needs to show ambition.

Gaynor: I'm making a very simple shift dress with bits appliqued on.

Gaynor to go. If only because she is so not self-aware.

I wouldn't want to be involved, thanks. But maybe some people would? It's still none of your business.

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:43

I'm not loving the drawing of Caz's, but she seems to make them work on the model so who knows. Gaynor really hasn't learned that she needs to push the boat out.

HeadNorth · 26/08/2025 21:44

I love the idea of Caz’s dress

Not seeing the point in the tabs. In a way I hope she runs out of time to sew them on

So you’re not happy to be used to feed a man’s fetish.

Glad we agree on that.

Gaynor’s dress is more pop art than Stuart’s, and fitted well.

HeadNorth · 26/08/2025 21:55

Gaynor or Stuart to go, no question

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:56

Gaynor I reckon.

murasaki · 26/08/2025 21:57

Blimey.

CrushingOnRubies · 26/08/2025 21:57

Stuart’s dress just didn’t fit the brief

Sausagenbacon · 26/08/2025 21:57

Very surprised that it's not Gaynor going

HeadNorth · 26/08/2025 21:57

I’m glad Kit got garment of the week, it meant so much to him & he tries so hard.

Gaynor is lucky to still be there - she needs to up her game and take some risks

Mandarinaduck · 26/08/2025 21:58

Absolutely loved Caz's dress.

Gaynor can't believe she is still in! But her dress was more pop than Stuart's, and beautifully made.

AugustDieSheMustTheAutumnWindsBlowChillyAndCold · 26/08/2025 21:59

I preferred the paper doll 2D dress with tabs, but in the section about pop art dresses made from paper were mentioned, which is a point in Kit’s favour.

You've misrepresented what I said.
