I love Garcia and Shemar Moore on that show. Cute!

Seriously! I watched the pilot because I wanted to see Mandy Patinkin and Thomas Gibson's new show, but within the first five minutes it was clear that the show was heavily based on the life and writings of John Douglas, one of the original FBI profilers and author of numerous books, and I was instantly hooked (I've been a fan of Douglas and his books for some time -- psychology in general can be very hit-or-miss in my experience, but behavior profiling is disturbingly accurate).

I was frustrated for a while that it was on opposite Lost, but Lost has, er, lost it's lustre for me, so that's not really a problem any more.

So they're walking hangers? That makes so much more sense, now. Seriously.

OMG YES. I love Garcia in general though, and Moore, but loved the Garcia and Spencer interaction on this week's ep.

That's the thing, really. I wish we could just be beautiful as individuals. Not because we conform to a set of ideals like a show dog, but because we are beautiful as ourselves. When I was growing up, I was nice and skinny according to that requirement, but I spent those years hidden in voluminous clothing, ashamed because of my flat chest. I was happy at first when the standard of beauty was model-thin, but then I realized that I was too short. Now with age & weight I have curves, but I have that weight elsewhere, too. And I wouldn't have spent all that time trying to conform to a scale of beauty that doesn't actually include my race.

In the end, I'm just me, and lucky enough to have the SO who thinks I'm lovely. But I wasted a lot of time in trying to be someone I wasn't; and that someone kept changing!

So they're walking hangers? That makes so much more sense, now. Seriously.

Yeah, that's about the extent of it, as far as I know.

Note that all I know about modeling I learned off America's Next Top Model.

but loved the Garcia and Spencer interaction on this week's ep.

Yeah, me too. Poor Garcia. She doesn't usually have to deal with the bloody crime scenes in person, and she was clearly shaken.

Just imagine if runway models needed to wear bras. Would mess with everything!

Dangerdame.com tells you what size a given model's wearing in their photographs. Which is a good idea. Trial and error, back when I wore VS, told me that I should stick to bras modelled by Tyra, for instance.

If I am to wear the clothes, they need to be relatable. But those clothes the runway models are showing aren't really meant for me anyway.

In other news, I left a comment on a Bravo TV blog, and it never showed up! I was totally censored! What I said (in part) was "Eff those haters."

I tried to leave a comment on the Entertainment Weekly site about two weeks ago, in response to a review of Veronica Mars. The first time, it got censored (in a preview function) for inappropriate language; the word in questions was "Sheeesh." The second time, it got censored for inappropriate language; the word in question was "rape." I used the word "rape" because the reviewer had incorrectly stated that the rape mystery had ended, when it still had a week (and an actual resolution) to go.

I'm going to say it again, here, where I can be free: Eff those haters!!
