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

I know he was going for sporty, or something, but it left me with a really bad taste in my mouth.

Me too. I think my exact words to DH were "why does he want all his models to look like they've been punched in the face?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is what happens when I'm home on Saturday night: I learn that Lisa from Top Model is going to be on "Celebrity" Rehab! [link]

Did anyone else watch Trinny & Susannah's new show, "Making Over America"? I'm not sure I love it, but the one part where they were taking photos, and it was so clear the difference the clothes made, was just awesome.

Megan, I saw the one where they made over the cheerleading coach. In addition to her makeover, I liked that they gave the cheer group a lesson in picking clothes for your body.

Because books.

I was a little bit confused about how it's going to be different from the original version of What Not to Wear, which was theirs, right? But I did mean to watch it and just forgot.

Also apparently missed the Brian Boitano thing, which I am dying to see.

I've not heard anything about a new Trinny and Susannah show--what channel is it on and when?

It was on right after the new WNTW, i.e., 10pm Friday.

It was a little bit like the non-traditional WNTW's they started to do at the end of their BBC run, where they sort of live with the person a bit. That's the part I don't love. I learned so much about colors and shapes in their early shows, and now there's a lot more psychology to it.

Like the American WNTW, especially recently, it's very unhelpful to my own life.

SuziQ, I thought of you on Friday--this week's WNTW was a woman from Denver!

Yes, she was....I saw that one. That was an amazing transformation too. I'd love to have them do me. My clothes are a mix of "oh, this fits, I hope it looks ok".

Thank goodness Big Brother finally had a segment about how Jeff is so hot! I was starting to think it was just me.
