PR: I only liked Chris's dress (as a dress), but I really admired the construction of some of the others, like Rami's and Christian's. I hate when they do a bodice that moves independently of the model--it just looks like a bad George Michael video--so I didn't like Jillian's very much. I thought the skirt was cute though and I give points for actually using candy. I'm sorry to see Elisa go, mostly because I think Sweet P is very hit or miss, without the unique vision. I almost think I would've gone for Victorya because she should have known better.
Oh! In truly sad (about my life) reality TV news, I can't believe that Megan of Beauty and the Geek's Megan and Scooter is going to be on Rock of Love! Did she learn nothing???
That is sad. I loved her!

This was my only issue with her dress, too. I loved the flapper look of the dangling Twizzlers, and the design element of having the black Twizzler as an accent on the bodice was eyecatching.
My favorite dress was Chris's on first look, but I fell more for Rami's as I studied it. I think if they had a guest judge who was more familiar with this crop of designers, Chris might have won because they were all saying what a huge step up this dress was for him in terms of taste level. I loved it--it looked wonderfully Deco to me.
I forgot that there was a reality tv thread! So, I'm very enamoured of How to Look Good Naked. You guys have it yet?
So, I'm very enamoured of How to Look Good Naked.
I don't think so! It sounds familiar but what is the premise?
I think it is premiering on TLC soon. I've seen a couple f commercials for it.
It's Carson Kressly's show, isn't it?
Well in the British version, there this guy called Gok Wan. And each week he takes a woman with no self confidence and makes her love her body again. It makes me cry pretty much every week. Some of these women haven't let their own husbands see them naked and by the end of the show they're doing catwalk shows in lingerie.
I would watch it, but I hate Carson Kressley. I could handle him on QE, tempered by the others, but not when he's the focus.

Sounds like something I'd love!!! except...what Vortex said.
Maybe you'll get the version with Gok eventually...?
