Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Chris's collection is really gorgeous. I hope he has a lot of success in his future.

I thought for a moment that's what they were going to do, quester. Alas.

I thought so too. I don't so much think that Chris was robbed (though I preferred his collection, but I LOOOOOOOVE him, so I recognized I was biased), but I think that they should have both been in the final 4. I thought that Chris' clothes were original and looked cool. I wouldn't have worn them, though, and that's not good. OTOH, Chris had a far more couture look to his clothes, I thought.

Those are my feelings as well. I wish he'd shown some of the other colors. Maybe one from each?

I thought Rami's coat was Too Much but loved the color. I'm a sucker for blue, I guess.

Did anyone watch ANTM or were ya'll watching AI? Because ANTM had what was probably The Most Offensive photoshoot yet! And that's saying a lot!

I think that blue dress with the face would have been stunning. He should have shown it instead of the hair dress (which I sort of liked, but I thought it was the weakest of the three). It would have still worked with the other two to make a mini collection, and would have added some color, and a more ready to wear look.

I loved the blue face dress, the red and black short dress and the beige and black (is that one of the hair dresses?) short dress (although I do think that one could have been fitted more in the underarm for a cleaner look.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Blue face dress = worn by my girl Bianca from ANTM!

And yeah, Lisa, that was baaaad.

Oh, I knew she looked familiar!

Seriously! Homeless teens are the hottest thing in accessories this Spring!

I was dying for there to be a HUGE twist where one of the Top Modelers was sent packing and replaced with one of the homeless girls.

Ha ha ha! "All of the homeless girls outshine you in this picture... and that's why one of them of them will be replacing you in the loft."

It somehow seems a little pat that "at the last minute," they added a girl to the cast, and then in the next episode, that girl decided to leave.

I also find Kristy's vocals mediocre at best and her squats and wide-legged stances, to borrow a Simon phrase, "ghastly."

I still don't get how she stayed on from last week.

PR:

I'm bummed. Human hair or not, I loved what Chris showed, and I realized that I'm always *interested* in what he's going to do. Rami usually delivers something well-constructed and flawless, but he's never made anything that blew me away. I just can't get excited about him.

Exactly. Rami's collections was fine, but I really wanted to see the rest of what Chris made.

I honestly wasn't sure where the ick came from with the hair. The best wigs are made from donated human hair, yes? And you wear that right on your head.

I didn't get it either. From the way they talked you'd have thought the dresses were made with human skulls.

My favorite dress of all, from anyone, may actually be this one, from Elisa's second-chance mini-collection.

I was quite surprised with my favorites from the mini-collections: Rami and Elisa.

Art Crawl!!!

Sarah Jessica Parker and Magical Elves teaming up to do a PR/TC type show about artists:

Potential skein would pit a dozen aspiring artists against one another, following the group as they attempt to produce various kinds of artwork -- from painting and photography to sculpting and industrial design. Pieces would be rated by a panel of judges, as well as by the contestants themselves.
