It’s so hard to pick! I love all of them. Ok I’ll vote for the peacock one. #2
Oh man; so hard to choose. I love the idea of a wrestling belt on an apron; but I’m going to have to go with Emily Richerdson – Bones Half Apron
They’re all really cute, but I’m super in love with #2 Lisa Chen – Peacock. It’s so gorgeous!
The 1st one!!!
It’s wonderful! 🙂
Def Lucha Libra! Love it!
It was a toss up for me between 5 and 6….but I am curious to see an apron w/ a tutu incorporated into it, so I am going with 6.
#2!
Peacock!
I love the Lucha one! Number 6 all the way!
I choose the Peacock one. I would wear it!
#5 feel way to close to your Wild Cherry Design, so I have to vote for the Peacock!
Lucha Libre!! My favorite colors and who doesn’t love Mexican wrestling?!?
I vote for # 2, Lisa Chen – Peacock. I love the shape!
2. Lisa Chen – Peacock. Definitely.
Lucha! Lucha! Lucha!
The peacock apron is gorgeous!
I love the peacock design! It’s stunning!
Arrgggh! I’ve been sat on my ass for 15 minutes trying to choose one – they’re all brilliant! Although I would totally buy Emm Mayes’ Nautical apron if I saw it in a shop, I’m gonna have to vote for Lisa Chen’s Peacock because it’s beautiful and so original…never seen anything like it before.
Love love love number 2. The peacock colours are gorgeous and I would fully embrace the glamour in the kitchen! x
I have to go with the peacock. While they’re all amazing, the creativity of the cut won me over. Beautiful!
The nautical one is my favorite!
The nautical is very cute indeed, but my final vote goes to lucha libre all the way!
#1-can’t say no to a sailor!
these are great!
1. Emm Mayes – Nautical (i want one too!)
5. Kimberly Doss – Cherry Rockabilly
5. – Cherry Rockabilly
Number 2… The Peacock design is gorgeous and the cut is so cool!
I vote for #3 “Bad Little Spice”. Black, Red and Skulls? Yes please!
I give the peacock my vote for originality and visual appeal, but all of the finalists were great!
Cherry rockability all the way! So cute and retro. 🙂
#2–LOVE the colors and the shape of the peacock apron.
I am gonna have to vote for #3 only because I designed it. They are all so cute though. May the best loved win. Thanks for making me a finalist and if I win cupcake party and clothing swap at my house.
Such a hard decision. After sitting here for the past 5 minutes debating I think I’m going with #2!
Definately #6
#6!!!
numero 6. Chale
Number 3!!!! Love the look!!
Ok, I’ve been toying with the idea of not voting for myself (everyone’s ideas are freakin’ awesome)- but then I realize there’s a tiny chance that I could be sportin’ a Lucha apron around the house (whether I’m baking cupcakes or kickin’ some booty), with a cute little sacred heart cut-out pocket and those turquois chi chi balls and baking cute lucha libre mask cupcakes… so I guess I have to cave and vote for myself. I just can’t help it 😉
#6 pretty please
Gotta be 3.
It’s gonna have to be Crystal Morrison’s My Bad Little Spice apron. The big bow would be awesome, it’s all very punk rocking. My girlfriend would look freaking gorgeous in this! (like she always does…she didn’t make me write that, promise.)
Ooh. I’d have to choose 6 too.
#6 is awesome!
props to number 3 cuz it looks like she actually drew up her own design and it looks pretty good, but i gotta throw my vote to…
NUMBER 6.
brent sucks.
My vote goes for #6. I love it!!
Emily Finch – Lucha Libre
For The WIN!!!!!!!!!
Emily Finch – Lucha Libre
Nombre 6!
Emily Finch – Lucha Libre is so cute
Oh wow. Its between #2 Peacock and #6 Lucha Libre. Both so unique. The Peacock one would make me feel pretty and elegant, but the Lucha one would make me feel like slamming the oven into the ground and talking in a low grunt.
Elegant or Grunts?
I pick #2 Peacock in hopes of someday finding the a Lucha Libre later. 😉
My vote is for #6
#6FTW
If she wins I will wear it!!!!!!
Emily Finch – Lucha Libre is the best one of the bunch, Bring it home Girl!!!

number 3 with no pants on
Bad little spice all the way!!!
I’m a gonna hafta go fer numero three on that one Charlie.
#3
Obviously number three, because it the the best, and also it is better than the others, as well as the fact that although the others are good…they’re just not as good as number three.
So, number three.
Love the Lisa Chen peacock! #2!
I would definitely wear #2–Peacock!
#6, Lucha Libre!
I vote the second one. Peacock all the way!
Definitely # 3. Bad Little Spice.

They are all great but I think Lucha Libre is the most original.
Lucha Libre!
#6! I love those colors, and the shapes – and unlike real peacocks I have known, it won’t stare me down for its breakfast every AM! 🙂
This is a really hard choice! I have to go with Kimberly Doss – Cherry Rockabilly, mostly because my kitchen is also Cherry Rockabilly themed, so it would look right at home in my house!
This is a horribly hard choice. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Peacock one. It’s amazing.
They are all awesome, but #2, the peacock is beautiful!

# 3. Bad Little Spice. Wowzers!
There’s not a doubt in my mind that #3, Little Bad Spice, is the winner. It is the most creative, made by what is clearly a talented artist with a mind of her own.

What a hot little number!

BONES HALF APRON!!! SERIOUSLY!
bullets and gaudy rings on skeleton hands? definitely #4 bones half apron by Emily.
I vote for #3
Emily richardson skull apron!!
I vote for #3 because every good girl needs a bit of “Bad little spice” in her life … and because Crystal is awesome and promised everyone a cupcake post victory party!
Good luck to all the finalists! All of the desgins are amazing and filled with such creativity.
emily’s bones half apron!!
I am all OVER that peacock apron so my vote is for number 2!
My vote is for “Bones half apron” by Emily Richardson
Love Emily Richerdson’s apron – it rocks! (Bones half apron)
Def. #4
It has real quality design elements and a strong personality 🙂
Striking AND practical! Gotta go with #4 – “The Bones Half Apron”!
2. Lisa Chen – Peacock
#4 emily richerdson has the best one… no doubt about it
#4 Bones Half Apron – I love the shape and the pockets.
Number 4 all the way!!!!
I dig #3 and #4 the most, but I will vote for #4 because it is cool and actually a design and functional apron…whats with all the votes for the 2 that are just pictures…there is no “design” there just inspirational pictures from google…lame. #1 looks like a dress, and #2 is a bit over the top to be functional.
#4 all the way… You can’t make a bad cupcake when wearing the Bones Half Apron!!!
Cherry Rockabilly-I would buy 7 and have them embroidered with the days of the week.
definitely #4. LOVE IT!!!!!!!
#4 – bones half apron!
Oooo, that’s tough! I think I’m gonna have to go with Lucha Libre, very funky.
#3 all the way! I love the look:)
no. 4
you misspelled her name by the way, it’s richardson, not richerdson
I pick #4! Adorable!
I vote for number 4 by emily richardson. That’s by far the best one!!! love it
#3 Love it!
I vote #4! So cute!
number 4 Emily Richerdsons bones half apron is my vote!
Number 2!! I absolutely love it!
#4 please
#2-Lisa Chen!
I’m so torn. But since I can only pick one, it’d have to be Number 1, Emily Mayes’ Nautical themed apron.
#4 Emily Richerdson!
#4 – Emily Richardson’s bones half-apron! Wearable and so much personality!
Number 3 “Bad Little Spice” rocks it!
LUCHADOR most definitely…but i might be biased with my insane penchant for the crazy art of fighting with a ridiculous mask on!
jewelsofawesomeness
My vote is for # 3. Crystal Morrison’s – Bad Little Spice…ooooh that’s a bad ass apron!!
#4 – bones half-apron. Deadly housewife!
#4 Emily Richardson Very cute!

#1 Emm Mayes – Nautical.
#6 KICKS ASS!!! Lucha libre all the way!!!

I adore number one by Emm!
It would go nicely with my sharky tattoos 🙂
#1 Emm Mayes – Nautical.
Emily Finch- #6
Love them all but I have to go with #6, Lucha. !Muy Bien!
Love #2, the peacock! It reminds me of Bjork’ swan dress!
# 6 lucha libre, nothing more to say.

Okay, tough…leaning on the bones (love bones) but going peacock, just so different and vibrant.
Hmm I haven’t had a chance to vote yet and I will be voting for my design (#2). But I also love the other designs, especially the nautical one mostly because that is aesthetically more my style and I really appreciate the amount of careful details Emm included.

I really love that Nautical one and the Peacock one!! oooooooohhhh, it’s so hard!! Okay I’ll pick the Nautical one just because I’m a sweet little sailor gal! lol.. {smart salute}
Even though I prefer a half apron, I vote Peacock! Love it!
#4 – bones!!! Go buy your peacock items on modcloth!
Totally tough decision.
But, I’m going to go with #2. Lisa Chen – Peacock
Love the unique lines!!
#4 – bones! Half aprons are the best too!
# 4 bones half-apron —- the contour and intricate ‘day of the dead’ detail is smashing.
Emily Richardson #4. The army green bullet design waistband sold me.
a close one but not really the more I think about it #4 BONES
#4! #4! #4! Bones! It’s kitschy and fun with a hint of femme fatale.
The peacock one is beautiful, but I think there are enough pretty aprons out there. I would rock that bones apron…the kitchen is a tough place 🙂
I have to go with the Half Bones Apron…#4!!!
Numero 4! Bones Half Apron 😉
I’m voting for nautical.
(PRD support!)
But wow…all are amazing!
The peacock for sure.
Such a difficult decision but I’m casting my vote for Emily Finch’s Lucha Libre inspired apron.
(Emily Richerdson’s Bones Half Apron also rocked!)
Love the Nautical look!
The peacock one is so beautiful! Has to win
My vote is for #5- Cherry rockabilly! Vinyl in the kitchen is just plain sexy & has to be creative!
