I indulged myself with an episode of America's Next Top Model - they're pitting Americans against British - and it was the makeover episode. Only Tyra's gotten weirder and had pink hair on one girl, magenta on another, and another was red, white (platinum blonde), and blue.
I want some of whatever she's on.
Toddson, at least the red and blue were clip-ins. The magenta and pink are dye!
They seemed to like it, though. And the girl having a fit about her hair? got BROWN.
oh man, should I start taping ANTM again??

Not with what I've seen so far.
I'm not very far into PR, but I really like the idea of the challenge.
ANTM - possibly the only show worth watching was the makeover. I wasn't all that impressed, although the US/UK bitchiness competition has its moments.
PR: I have to say, knowing the estimated retail prices of those dresses made me like all of them less. Like, yeah, pretty, but $300 pretty? No. Mostly, I am astounded to learn the relationship between the cost of fabric and the price of the finished garment. Now I'm really curious how the cost of the fabric for this challenge compares to Mood prices for similar material.

Exactly. That was sort of shocking.
I would have given the win to Austin over Mondo, because while that dress was cute, only stick-thin girls can wear it well. Austin's coat would flatter everyone, I thought.
I was also astounded they kept Michael over Kenley. She may be annoying, but her style is much more commercial than Michael's, who really does seem to make the same dress all the time now. Which is also only flattering to stick-thin women.
I really disliked Austin's coat. I don't know, I generally like swing coats but the sort of pleatedness of that one I found unpleasant. Nobody really hit a home run on this one, for my money. Mondo's would at least look swell on a mannequin in the window, or whatever Neiman Marcus does.
