I keep getting "Safari can't open this page". I tried Firefox and it crashed the program. I haven't tried Explorer yet.

of course...taking out the "s" means it isn't secure. so i think i'll hold off until it's working properly.

Well, the only way for me to get to the donation page is to remove the 's' like tommy said. But, tiggy's warning made me hesitate to go forward.

Wouldn't that be a hell of a hack, to infiltrate that site tonight and plug in a vulnerability?

Art Crawl!!!

Two eliminations on Shear Genius! And the second challenge was just nutty.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Two eliminations on Shear Genius! And the second challenge was just nutty.

Seriously! And I didn't think Evangelin's risk taking would pay off like that. Ballsy and creative but not playing the game right necessarily. Still you had to be impressed with what she did with hedge clippers.

I predicted Lacey would be the next to go and boom off she went. Tyson's cut in the first challenge was by far the best. So he is as good with the scissors as he says is. (Again and again and again.)

Dr. Boogie's reliance on the clippers is going to be his undoing. Ben almost blew it in this round and he was lucky to survive. Bad tool choice.

Tyson agrees with me that Tabitha and Anthony are his biggest competition. Ultimately Tabitha will go down because she's not going to serve her client properly - not for lack of skill. But Tyson was smart to arrange the order the way he did. Pretty much exactly as I would've ranked them. Ben and Daisy are a notch below but both very versatile. They don't have any obvious weaknesses, except for Daisy's poor time management. But they don't have that extra level of genius. Evangelin's a wild card. She's been in the top three twice and the bottom three once. She won't win but she could go deep. That short cut she did in the second ep was very very cute and showed some ability.

But it will probably come down to Anthony, Tyson and Tabitha unless somebody can take advantage of an elimination round to put them in the hole. Tyson almost cut Ben out of this round by his ordering.

Pussycat Dolls: Oh please. Could that song selection have been more rigged? And while I will admit that Asia can dance like one of the PCDs, she's so tiny next to them that she looks more like their mascot. Sadly, I can't wait for next season.

ANTM: Clip show? Fuckers.

Shear Genius: Tyson reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on who it was. It's been bugging me for three weeks now. Tonight, I finally put it together. He's Riff Raff. I'm going to spend the rest of this show waiting for him to do the Time Warp. Again.

I can't believe that Evangelin made it work. Though that poor model. How nerve wracking must it have been for her to not just sit there while some crazy woman took hedge clippers to her head but also to have to hold out her hair with her fingers as the hedge clippers came towards her? GAH. I hope they medicated her when it was over.

Looking at the preview for next week, it seems that Evangelin is going to make the clippers a part of her new schtick. Which is already annoying to me.

I also watched a marathon today of the first season of Project Runway. It made me nostalgic.
