Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nope, nope, nope, nope.

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

I'm trying to catch up on 4 or 5 weeks of Project Runway by Tuesday so my poor coworker who has been patiently waiting for me won't have to much longer. Anyway, I need to make notes here because I am already forgetting my opinions about the last runway I watched and that will never do.

So - the resort wear fabric swap challenge: I like Dom's silhouette a LOT but the stripes did not work for me - putting the turquoise next to the yellow mad wit greenish instead of pop. But I loved the top and the shape of the skirt, so I'm not mad at her for winning. The judging was so interesting this round, it was pretty hard to tell who was in the top and who was in the bottom. Everyone was "I love it except for...." and "this I hate but this other part is great" and disagreeing with each other. And I enjoy a good judge wrangle, so that was fun. I'm not sure how I feel about the challenge - fabric choice is so fundamental and yet everyone actually did quite well (even the bottom looks were more boring than terrible) so maybe it worked. No strong feelings about the results.

Fairy Tales: I am kind of unreasonably annoyed that they alled the Beauty and the Beast character "Belle" instead of "Beauty". But I liked this challenge a lot, and a pretty happy with the looks that came out of it. Loved Tinkerbell, Alice, and the Snow Queen. Rapunzel does not have a queen for a stepmother. Just no. Although the dress was not bad, but i didn't love it. Whoever said Cinderella looked more like an evil stepsister/mother was not wrong. I am, surprisingly, tired of black and white with yellow. Huh. Not super happy with the winner, but okay. Can't argue with the auf, although I will miss that guy.

PR: Ath-leisure episode. I think I just don't get ath-leisure. I looked at Alyssa Milano's Touch and it looks like nothing special. So I guess it is not surprising that I am pretty meh on all the looks. Pleased with the winner, but not specifically for this week's look.

PR most recent ep. Maybe I am just tired, but meh on the challenge and the designs. I can see the top looks are good, but they don't speak to me at all. Tough break for Asha, but it's heartening for the show if not for her that she went home for actual design mistakes rather than construction or time management.

I gave up on PR long ago, but what is ath-leisure? Sounds like a disease.

Possibly just expensive sweatpants.

Expensive sweatpants you wear shopping.

That sounds right. I might have liked that whole challenge better if that's how they explained it.

I thought it was expensive sweatpants you wear to watch baseball.
