'Til we dance away...

She's Hawaiian. So there's a reason- it's just not a good one.

...I've never been to Hawaii. Do many people there speak with strange "I sound kind of deaf" accents?

'Til we dance away...

I haven't either. The only linguistic weirdness I know of in Hawaii is the speaking in pidgin that only Hawaiians supposedly understand- but I have no idea if its supposed to be accented or if she's just crazy. It's Top Model, so probably the latter. I'm glad the bratty one got sent home too, although she reminded me of someone working for me who is being completely useless and it was more socially acceptable to yell at my tv than my co-worker.

I'm surprised it's so quiet in here- this is the first place I came after PR and ANTM.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, that was a great collection. Not for me, but for FASHION.

Yeah, I thought it was definitely the most effective. The one thing that bugged me, the judges pinpointed -- enough black and cream. Use some colors.

But really, he's too cute. "I am going to take a VAY-CAY."

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

PR: Christian kinda melted away my annoyance with him today. About the time he was about to break out crying on the runway, I felt some sympathy for him. (Those dramatic pauses must be murder.)

Which is funny, because it didn't annoy me like Ricky crying all the time did.

Because books.

Ricky didn't cry, he just had a continual leak.

Christian definitely melted me last night. Even though I thought the nearly all black collection was a mistake -- a couple of those jackets-and-skinny-pants combos were almost indistinguishable.

Rami had a lot of pieces I loved, and so did Jillian. I was pleasantly surprised by everyone.

Art Crawl!!!

It was a good competition overall.

And next week: TOP CHEF!!! Woo hoo!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am kind of irked that no one says Christian's stuff is costume-y -- I mean, that thing that Tim Gunn thought was a skirt WITH that enormous hat??

Art Crawl!!!

It's costume but in a totally couture way.

I would have MUCH preferred to have seen Chris' stuff last night than Rami's. MUCH.

Punishingly Intricate

And I do agree with the judges that Rami's color-sense is off.

I loved Rami's colors as did my friend who watched with me. Maybe it's my tv?

I cried a lot when Christian won. I love that little guy! And I loved him & Posh together & especially LOVED the shot of her smiling during his show.

No truly outrageous makeovers this year, though I do wonder--they gave SO many of them weaves, but then they don't seem to help keep them up, so the girls just start looking RAGGEDY after a few weeks...though sometimes the girls with dye jobs end up with ugly roots, too.

The makeovers were disappointing. No girls crying because their long hair is getting cut??? That's my favorite ANTM trope!

Paulina said the same thing I did about Dominique's haircut. Why did they do something that made her look even older?!

Man I was glad to see that rascist annoying girl get her comeuppance but quick. Although I would have loved to see her get beat down a little more by the process.
