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

I died when Kelly O. said you could find directions for how to do that on YouTube.

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

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

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?

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!

I don't even need the link! I always love it when they do that.

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

I need the link!

Or I could just Goggle, but that is less lazy
