"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Did anyone catch the return of Face Off this week? I love this show, and I'm so glad it's back.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I saw that my Tivo picked it up! Thank goodness for Tivo! But I haven't watched it yet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sj,

my sister! I watched Face Off. I love the show. I don't like that they cast a really irritating contestant every season, but oh well.

Isn't that every reality show though? It doesn't really annoy me as much on Face Off as on some of the other shows, where they tend to cast several really annoying, high drama people.

Because books.

Oh, Top Chef. Ugh. But I almost think Kristin wanted it that way -- I think her expectations of herself pulling everything off perfectly were unrealistic. She was certainly adamant about taking responsibility.

I'm surprised Stefan didn't die of heartbreak at the end.

Who do you find irritating this season, le n? I just watched and no one is bugging me yet.

I expected him to annoy, but I actually liked him once they were working, especially when he was up front about saying his partner had been right to start with the dark base coat. Their goblin was pretty cool.

I really like the mentoring this season, that added a lot to my understanding of all the factors that go into makeup design.

Thrive to spite them

He wasn't as bad as the guy who left last year, "no one understands my genius!" (which was really just a hot mess).
