Because books.

It's cute, but it ain't $298 cute, for me. And somehow the tie in the back just ruins it (again, for me). Still, glad to see Mondo get to show off the way he mixes prints.

I was disappointed, but I don't like either of them. Michael made the same damned dress for a size zero woman with no boobs. I think that Nanette really liked the keyhole detail, so she was really disappointed when Kenley changed the design to keep the print.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Kenley did a terrible job of using the print!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know I say this every time I'm home during the day, but god, I love Tabatha's Salon Takeover.

Tabatha is awesome. I watched, like, four episodes in a row one day, and I was transfixed.

And then Kenley did a terrible job of using the print!

It kills me that she has such a great eye for them, and how to use them, and then she's completely sloppy with matching seams and stuff.

I think we all need our own personal Tabathas. Seriously. I watch her show every week and I just LOVE how direct she is and she is RIGHT.

Her producers have been excellent at picking the correct locations.

It's interesting how they are all the same though. The salons are always filthy, the stylists are always in need of education, and the manager always needs to have/enforce some rules. Despite this, it does not stop me from watching and loving the show.

Well, if all those things were working, then the business would probably be working. I haven't seen any of the new episodes, though, where she takes over different kind of businesses.

The one with the yogurt shop was pretty interesting, actually, but mostly it's kind of the same -- shitty management, etc. And still awesome! This week's was a beauty school that was super ridiculous.

But how much did you love Dr. Flavio? He was awesome!
