Wow Rick, that is so weird.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Project Runway:
I think Kors has a lot of freaking nerve criticizing Santino for not thinking about "dressing real people". And Bagdley/Mishcka have balls of pure venitian lace to agree with them. I don't know that I've EVER seen A THING by either of them in a size 14 - the average size of a woman in the US. Ya know?
On edit: I stand corrected. I just found some Kors stuff on eBay in a 16. Still. The majority of designers don't make clothes for "average" women.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn Rick, that's creepy. Now I'm worried that brain will take over, or something, imposing its primal needs on me.
WHY AM I SO ALERT AT 11? AND HUNGRY?
Oh, right.

Did you nap this evening, ita, or train?

No napping. But I taught a couple classes kinda by my lonesome (was officially evaluated for the first time--apparently I can be sarcastic and somewhat harsh. Please) and then had an extended natter in the parking lot. And I haven't eaten a crumb since lunch. I need to get off my ass and have that one last English muffin and rooibos tea.

yes, you do.
That reminds me, I keep meaning to buy rooibos tea and then not.

Okay, PBJ muffin being eaten. Rooibos being drunken. I love that tea. My sister gave me a box from South Africa, and it's addictive.

Aimée, I didn't get the sense that any of them were talking about real people in the sense of "Jane America." I thought they meant real people in the sense of a person and not a dress form. Santino is all about the statement and making "wearable" art. I think he might be happier dressing a mannequin than a woman with a pulse.
I will say that, while I have agreed with this in the past, I think Santino doesn't have the first clue how to dress a woman's body that is at all flattering, his last few projects have shown signs of improvements. He seems to, finally, be making an effort.
ETA: And also, his Tim Gunn impression is too fabulous. And tonight! When Tim caught him writing FANFIC about him and Daniel? Love.
