PR: You know, maybe it's me, but I didn't have a problem with Kayne's dress at all this time around. Seriously. And I'm usually quick to jump on his Vegas-ness. Didn't really like Jeffrey's dress until I saw it on the NYC runway. The model was WORKING it. Laura's dress looked better in Paris, but "old" or not, her model looked hot in it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When I see pictures of Cruise looking so benevolent and fatherlike, I just remind myself of Scientology's dogma about treating children like little adults and not showing them excessive affection. Miraculously, the flow of loathing continues unabated...
PR: Victor. I agree. If anyone but Kayne had made that dress, I think it would have been praised. It fit beautifully and was a gorgeous color.
I really liked Kayne's dress - he's given them cause to question his taste in the past, but I didn't think that was deserved this time. Jeffrey wouldn't have won without his model's performance, I don't think. Uli's dress was lovely.
I agreed with the judges about Kayne's dress. Mesh and gold lace and boning and some ribbons and flowers and a corsetted back, *and* the ombre fabric-- what do you look at, you know? I didn't think it was tasteless, though. Jeffrey's dress was also busy but seemingly in a more integrated way.
PR:
I thought Jeffrey's dress was horrendous. Yellow plaid? Euch. And I really liked Kayne's -- I'm relieved he's not out.
I swear to god, the spoiler font was there before I hit post. I am going to bed.
Shoot, I'm paying bills and I can't find my Verizon bill and the amount is never the same, it's always a few cents different. I wonder why it always changes just a little. Darn them, darn them all to heck.
Y'all are working on some secret public relations project aren't you?
I've done some grading! Mind you, that was last on the list... but I'm putting off reshuffling their seat assignments because it means finding all the special "I can't see from that seat" requests again and figuring out who I can't seat together, what to do with the kid that everyone picks on, and how to handle the loudmouths. Calgon...
On the upside, today I explained to a class that I would no longer assign them detentions that they don't serve, I would just call their parents. You should have seen their little faces. Why they didn't think of this possibility before? Who knows. Must remember: insane middle-school logic.
PR: Jeffrey's dress wasn't to my taste, but I totally see why it won, especially with his model working it. But, just as the judges judged Kayne in relation to prior work, I think that if we hadn't already seen the basic shape of Uli's dress over and over, she would have won hands down.
