I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

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

BTW, I think one of the producers wrote that card for him and said it came from his model. They were doing what they could to hold him together.

That was the Ken and Jeremy I liked, Amy. Wearable!

When Timothy called their design a "project", something clicked for me. That's his problem right there.

Even with the card, when he said "No one has ever gotten a letter from model" just burned me up.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

OK, last night was the first time I've watched PR this season and I found half of those people unpleasantly unwatchable. Crying unicorn dude? Really? And he made a hideous yellow vest and thought it was art. I died when Kelly O. said you could find directions for how to do that on YouTube. The partner was not much better. If you are going to shit talk and be a mean girl, then just own it. Russian dude? I cannot. And he made a tacky ass piece of crap dress. The poor model looked like a refugee from Xanadu. All she was missing were the roller skates. And blond doormat girl, you do not bow down for that foolishness. I don't care if the whole project goes down in flames. That's when you grab that needle he's trying to make you use to just be his "helper" and stab him in the neck with it. Orange hair dude is just too much and a half and if what he and his partner made last night was any indication of his skill level, ummm, no. Partner seemed unobjectionable for the most part. I also liked the two girls who made the Harajuku looking outfit although I'd never wear it. I thought the two girls who made the hat dress also seemed OK, although I liked the idea of the dress more than the dress itself.

For my money, the pants with the vest and shirt combo was the best outfit of the night by far and the two guys seemed pretty low key and drama free, to the point that they were barely in the episode last night. Also, that model's hair was giving me life!

Zac Posen is still no Michael Kors. Nina Garcia still seems oddly subdued without her orange partner in crime. Heidi is still adorable and I love Kelly O. I don't see what the insertion of Tim into the judging process is supposed to add and I hate Tim's Save the same way I hate the Judge's Save on AI.

That was the funniest shit ever. She gave awesome critiques.

I was shocked when Nina said the monster dress was adorable. I just didn't expect that. I mean, it was, but I didn't think she'd say that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On trend! I don't know that Nina actually has personal opinions about style anymore.

Now that you say that, so much makes sense.

Because books.

I think Nina doesn't necessarily believe her personal opinions have a place in the show. She's not the client for 90% of the designers, and you can tell by the way she dresses that her own style is pretty firmly established and not going to change a whole lot.

Heidi judges everything based on whether she wants to wear it.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Heidi judges everything based on whether she wants to wear it.

I am annoyed to no end that she does this, especially because her taste runs to short, tight and shiny 99.9% of the time.

I really appreciate that Nina looks at the clothes from the POV of an editor of a fashion magazine. And I do think it's super interesting to see what she raves about now as the editor of Marie Claire vs. what she used to rave about when she worked at Elle. I think she used to appreciate much edgier, more editorial looks when she was at Elle (more high fashion) than she does now. Marie Claire is still fashion, but it's not Vogue, no?


Amy - Aug 02, 2013 3:31:52 pm PDT #21065 of 23273
Because books.

I've never actually read either magazine, unless I flipped through them in a waiting room somewhere. Nina just seems lazor-focused on what will photograph well and what will sell. Which is her job, so that's good, I guess!
