Art Crawl!!!

sj, I hope that they repeat the "I've got Nothing to Wear" show because it sounds good.

TC: I think that there are so many good chefs that lots of the in the middle folks have barely had airtime. That also means that I think that Howie and Joey won't be around for long.

It really was good. I think it is going to be on every Friday. It's one of the few fashion shows I would be willing to go on because it doesn't rely on embarassment. A stylist goes through your closet and decides what you should keep and what should go to the designers, then he takes the person shopping for good staple pieces, and then the three designers make two new outfits each using the material from your old clothing. The designers can't buy new cloth, but they can buy $50 each worth of embellishments such as buttons, etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I posted about it in Natter some. Too bad most of what the designers made was nast.

I thought what the designers made fit the style of the person they were designing for, even if they weren't things I would wear.

Yeah, that's fair -- it did seem like the people liked them.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

SYTYCD:

I think that was the problem. Jazz is not a form a lot of people feel comfortable with or understand.

I've thought this several times this season and last, but this was so blatant that I wonder if something else was going on too. Like maybe the judges were so complimentary that people thought they were safe. Personally, I didn't like the dance, but I recognized that it was well done and certainly didn't blame the dancers for it.

I am really annoyed that Cedric lasted another ep. He even said he was ready to go. He should have gone.

Kameron and Lacey

I thought the opposite. I think he might like that, but Lacey seemed to be pushing him away all the time, when they weren't dancing. Also, I loved their dance, but really didn't see "the danger." She's so cute and upbeat, like Benjy was, that it's really hard for me to imagine real dangerousness. Liked their dance, though, so I didn't care.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I've thought this several times this season and last, but this was so blatant that I wonder if something else was going on too.

I think a lot of people (including me) just don't like baby oil girl. She just lost me with her horrible audition, and she's never gotten me back. Every time I've seen her dance her own choreography, I've been spectacularly underwhelmed. I was so sad when they paired Jessi with Pasha, because I really do like him. And then I was just annoyed at having to grudgingly give it up to her because they were wonderful with their ballroom the first week and this week they both were quite lovely in Tyce's jazz routine. (Even though, I still felt most of what Jessi did was stand around and pose prettily) But then, she did her DoD and that old baby oil girl hate came flooding back. I really think Pasha is in trouble as long as he stays paired with her.

Just imagine if we'd have gotten rid of Jessi and Cedric this week. We could have had a Pasha and Faina pairing. Now, I'm no Faina fan (b/c of the stank face), but I would've loved to see them do a latin dance.

I think he might like that, but Lacey seemed to be pushing him away all the time, when they weren't dancing.

I saw this, too. They replayed the clip of Kameron caressing Lacey's leg at the top of their number, and then Kameron went to do it again and Lacey practically jumped off the stage to keep him from touching her. I don't get a flirty vibe from them at all. I just think they have good dance chemistry.

I was sad to miss Not!What Not to Wear. It looked like fun. And I need some fashion to tide me over until PR comes back.

Thrive to spite them

I watched Matchmaker, I'll probably watch that again. I saw the episode with the 41 yr old virgin who is gay. I hope since this was filmed he's found a guy he's attracted to, had sex, and realized all those excuses were just ways of denying he just isn't attracted to women.

I also watched the episode with the guy with bad manners and over tanned girl. It seems the guy with bad manners learned something and if he hasn't made a love connection he at least made a friend connection. But, oh, the over tanned girl! She's 22 years old! I was thinking she's one of those women who is 28 or 29 and freaked out over turning 30 and trying to recapture her lost "youth". But she's 22! By the time she's 30 she's going to look like she's in her late 40s.

Oh! And I set to record Ice Truckers because it looks interesting. I tried watching Deadliest Catch but I kept feeling bad for the crabs.
