The ROMANCE of the CENTURY

Or, you know, not.

We've got nothing to say about the silly romance that never was, but we do think it's awfully funny that they decided to confer on their looks so they didn't step on each other's toes and then they both turned around and produced amazingly similar looks.

Model: Kojii Helnwein

But Logan's was clearly better, in our opinion.

In fact, this may have been the best thing he's done yet on the show. We didn't realize until we looked at these pictures that he had her done up to look bloodied.

We liked that his material (we're assuming it's some sort of pleather) had a matte finish to it. It was more sophisticated-looking than what CH used. Because of that finish, he could get away with a lot of details that would have looked overwhelming otherwise.

And the fit was pretty damn good. Tight, but not so much that it looked vulgar. Nice job.


Model: Lisa Blades

This, on the other hand, wasn't so great. It wasn't horrible, but when it's stacked up against such a similar look as Logan's it comes off a distant second.

The styling was awful and amateurish, in our opinion. She tried too hard to go glam when she should have been thinking "kickass." The coat is a nice touch but it's so similar to Jillian Lewis' signature coats that it was a bit distracting.

TOO SHINY! And the fit is TERRIBLE. Well, maybe not terrible, but it doesn't look sexy or form-fitting, like Logan's does. It looks stiff and it looks like she's wearing someone else's outfit.

And what the hell are those thing around her legs?

We figure it was probably meant to be some cool-looking, gear type of thing for your average action hero, but they just looked extraneous. Worse, the shiny gold combined with the shiny black looked cheap.

We're being a little harsh here. We don't hate it. It's just that these two designers for some reason decided to do extremely similar outfits and one was clearly far superior to the other one.
