I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The episode I saw after Top Chef was a full episode about the slutty mom. Missed the ring receiver episode though.

Yes, the ring was from ice.com - but they could have let him shop for it online if they had to use a sponsor.

I just didn't like that. . . it felt wrong.

I don't think it was a full episode, did we see the reveal?

Saw 60 minutes worth of show...from her hanging by the pool with a friend to her showing off for her family....with all the angst in between.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love that Tim Gunn freaked out when Veronica Webb suggested leggings.

Yes, that was funny. (And that outfit was heinous.)

And what the fuck was up with, "red is the enemy", wrt hair?

I think he just meant for her. It's become such a popular dye choice, but if you have cool coloring it's not the most flattering.

A stylist in Paris tried to explain this to me ages ago when I first wanted to cover my greys. But, I had always wanted my mother's auburn hair, so that's what I chose. When I finally did color analysis last year and switched to ash brown, it looked so much better.

I have cool coloring, and I love having red hair. I think there are so many shades of red, that there is one that will work for every coloring.

I liked having red hair too. It's just not the most flattering shade for me. I could go in an eggplant direction, which would work better, but that's not the red I think of when I think red.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I saw both the slutty mom episode and the ring episode of Tim Gunn's new show as well. Sadly, I thought that most of the show fell a little bit flat. I still love Tim. Soo cute. I'm planning to use "I'm feeling woeful." whenever things go wrong from now on. And Veronica Webb managed to grow a little bit of a personality between House of Style and today. But so much of it felt like retread . . . and the life coach has got to go. The best parts of the show were the snarky Tim and Veronica outtakes. I think what I really want is just a show where the two of them sit around and bust on the badly dressed. It would be like hanging out with your catty girlfriends.
