I need to watch this show.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

I'm catching up on Face Off - really enjoying this season so far. I don't have any favorites among the contestants, yet, but they all seem pretty good. Someone just said "...and I sprayed it with glitter to make it look...classy?" which I just love to pieces.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I didn't understand the judges on Project Runway All-Stars this week at all. I thought the top two and the bottom two should be reversed.

Really? I get what they were saying, but really, they were all pretty close and I can kind of see what you're saying, too. I was prepared to hate Sonjia's as soon as she said "giant bow" but I actually really liked what she ended up with (although the judges were all right and the mini-underskirt was too much). Michelle's was great except for the chain, which was maybe bad enough to warrant putting her on the chopping block. I really hated what she did for the extra-special live on the runway challenge, but I hated that they did an extra-special live on the runway challenge more. I"m happy with the outcome, however they got there, I guess, although I'm not sure I need to see any more from Dimitri.
Honestly "timeless red carpet look" is just sort of a blah challenge.
I would have liked to have seen more of the dog challenge, frankly. That seems like an interesting design challenge that I'd like more details about. Proportions and whatnot.

I thought the giant bow was horrible, and the whole dress was just trashy. That would have definitely ended up on someone's red carpet worst list. And I hated the fringe on Dimitri's dress. It just looked cheap.

Fair enough. I did think Dimitri's dress was more of a boho maxi than red carpet gown.

I can see how the other two could be considered boring, but that is probably the judges fault for asking for "timeless" when it seems that wasn't what the really wanted. I was fine with the way the quick challenge at the end went.

I was just annoyed that they decided to have the quick challenge at the end. Seemed very contrived.

Because books.
I loved Dmitri's dress, but I would have taken off the sparklies -- that's what made it look cheap to me.
I love Sonji, but that dress was an '80s nightmare.

Face Off: love the relay challenge! Great idea and the finished characters were pretty damn cool.
