Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

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?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think it is premiering on TLC soon. I've seen a couple f commercials for it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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...?

hah! I just went to check out the website for his version and his rules are cracking me up:

RULE 4: Wax and shave the hair on your body – your muff area should always be maintained

"muff area" heh
