New anglophilic pleasure - Penelope Keith touring the villages of the U.K. (since she's going up to Scotland at some point). Lovely scenery and she can be amusing.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Oh, I like Penelope Keith, if she's the woman who was in To the Manor Born and who plays posh people in the comedies.

Kind of underwhelmed by the PR final runways and would not have picked the winner the judges ended up with.

Me three. I was disappointed by all of the collections. I loved Laurence's, of course, but it was ordinary clothes. Beautiful clothes that I would wear in a heartbeat (except for the backless stuff), but I would have hoped that there would be more of a "wow factor"

Agreed. She had some great details but no spectacle. While Erin was all spectacle without, if you ask me, much design. Roberi, I just could not get past that opalescent/translucent/gift basket wrapper looking fabric. I don't even know what he was trying for with that but it did not work for me. Honestly, Rik's collection might have been my favorite, he really pulled it together and some of his pieces did make me go "wow".

Yes, they certainly ran the gamut from puzzling to underwhelming this year. Just what I look for from PR.

Yes, that just looked cheap to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just saw La-La Land, and the part that is relevant to this thread is that Mandy Moore was the choreographer. The ladies sitting behind me were exclaiming that they didn't know she did that, so I turned around and let them know it was a different Mandy Moore...
