I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

She has some opinions, huh? She does always look great on the red carpet. I wish I could get a better look at her shoes.

I have to say, saying "When it doubt, don't go there" and "We can't see her, we can just see the clothes" as criticisms for an avant garde challenge seems weird.

Because books.

It bugs me that the judges didn't really address how none of the looks were actually avant-garde.

Poor Sonji. It's hard to see people go at the end when you like everybody.

Yeah. I love how everyone in the room was sure that Heidi had lied to them and she'd go to Fashion Week, too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh man! Sahara Davenport died. No information about how or why available. [link]

I came in here because I just heard from Manila's fb page. Now they're saying heart failure. That is so sad, she seemed like one of the nicest from her season. And she and Manila seemed very much in love. (I am using the feminine pronoun because the drag personas are the ones I'm famililar with).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This week's Face Off may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

It bugs me that the judges didn't really address how none of the looks were actually avant-garde.

Per usual.

Yeah, really sad.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The voice: I kind of love the steal.

Ceelo was so clearly setting up Amanda as red shirt to go against Trevin, and it totally bit him in the ass.

they never do. This is another one of those things that I fault the designers on. EVERY FUCKING SEASON there is an avant garde challenge, and EVERY FUCKING SEASON none of the looks are avant garde. DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH AND THINK ABOUT A LOOK. yes, there will be parameters that you don't know about, but if you're good at what you do, you can adapt the look that you've thought about to meet the challenge. See also couture.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Amazing Race (for which I'm late): one of the sadder eliminations where it's a team that could very easily have DESERVED to go all the way -- shut out because of Bad Taxi Luck.

The Sri Lankan girls (Nadiya & Natalie?) just whipped through that very complicated fish task, which (maybe it was the editing) seemed to take less time than the ice delivery.

Gary (the sub teacher) on the bike was really melting down with the hand-shaking attempts to make balloon animals. I was worried he was having a heat stroke. Powering through that was no mean feat, and I was pleased to see his teammate was only helpful.

So far, it's a very nice set of teams, but we'll see when the field is cut down a little and the grinding stress sets in.

Yeah, that was kind of great. I like the stealing, too. It seems like a smart way to lengthen the show, which I'm sure was NBC's order.

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

I feel sorry for anyone who bought that fish though, because they're going to be finding pieces of her hair in all of them. I cringed every time her head went into that barrel.
