I was totally cackling at Jen getting eliminated on her birthday OH NOES!!!!11! Just me?

ETA: Whoa. Those dresses are way too close for comfort. Ouch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it speaks as much to the point I read on Project Rungay (?) about Victorya's dress being right on the current trend.

The other thing I really note is how much Victorya hates boobs! She's always binding them down. Yuck.

Though Jillian had some sort of weird nipple-clamping effect on her dress this time that was even worse.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jillian is hopeless about fitting tops - her bodices always look weirdly detached from her models.

I loved watching last night's TAR! Biggest laugh was seeing Nick and Don get sick of listening to Jennifer bitch and decide to sit next to TK and Rachel instead.

That was awesome!!!

man, she was irritating. But! She kind of reminded me (physically) of a rollergirl I know and now I REALLY REALLY want to see a rollergirl team in an upcoming season. I'm going to try to get a few of my faves here to apply.

bwah! I was just invited to an event where there will be an appearance by newest ANTM Saleisha. Unfortunately I'll be out of town. blast.

Speaking of Saleisha, have we talked here about the Make Me A Supermodel show? So far, I like it -- I like that they have the creepy agency guy there saying that if you have any visible flesh (and you're a woman), you need to lose weight. Not that it's right, but at least it's honest.

Anyway, it cracked me up how much shit they gave the woman with the short bob with bangs, about how limiting a look it is.

I'm enjoying Make Me A Supermodel, so far, but given that they're letting the viewers decide--is that really the way to end up with someone model-y? I mean, I guess in theory they just have to have the ones they start with all have potential, but...

I like PrisonGuard boy. He's adorable. And wore the thong.

And I thought it was ridiculous that they harped on that girl's hair--(a) it makes her stand out, (b) it fits her quirky style and (c) SO EASILY CHANGED.

I love Holly and her bangs. Nothing like Saleisha and the ugly, Tootie hair.

I am liking Supermodel, mainly because most of the kids on the show actually look like . . . models. I mean they look like they could work somebody's print ad or runway show right now (for some of them) or at least some day. Makes me wonder even more where Tyra digs up some of the doozy girls she puts on ANTM. I don't think any of these kids will be supermodels, but I do at least believe that some of them could be working models.

Still happy over last night's TAR. And AI starts tomorrow. I am hoping there will be much less blatant baiting of the physically/mentally challenged during this year's audition season.
