"We have trust issues." Mylar

ANTM: I thought Bree looked fierce with her new haircut and was just being a big old drama queen about getting it cut. Not that I wouldn't have done the same because many many black girls have hair issues, but that (among many reasons) is why I would never go on ANTM. Everybody else looked kind of the same.

X Factor - Watched. Was severely underwhelmed. That made me sad. Both The Sing Off and The Voice are way, way better.

YES! The way it was styled for the photo shoot was just fabulous. I think it took her from being so-so to looking very chic.

Amy, I know! Poor kid, he's got talent but he just needs about 5 years worth of maturity. He will be great working for someone else for a while, to learn how to talk to clients, etc. The look on Tim's face when he was complaining about how "huge" the lead singer was, was telling. Especially since this was 2 challenges in a row of his complaining about the model's size.

Yes, very much that. Olivier lives in some mythic ivory tower in his head, where only mute waifs exist for him to dress.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, clearly he has no interest in designing actual clothes. Maybe he can just be an artist. Or something where there are no humans involved.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It wouldn't surprise me if Oliver is on the autism spectrum - the way he covered his ears when the band started to play looked like someone with sensory processing issues to me.And he really can't work with people.

That said, his shirt was just absurd, and if I never have to see another cream and light blue outfit on the runway again it will be too soon.

He's dressing up dolls. It's frustrating when you get the wrong kind, or the doll talks back.
