Because Crave was closed by then. The owner of the building it was in screwed Robin around on the lease, so Robin closed the restaurant. I still long for another bowl of Robin's goat cheese gnocchi.

Whoa! That was recent, right? The reason I asked in my post that way is that as soon as I read your post here about it I checked the Seattle Zagat I bought for the trip, and it was in there. It hadn't been on my radar because of the location though. I debated making a trek to to the capital hill area, but there were too many other things going on in the interim.

According to Pete, who has a good memory for these things, Crave closed October 28, 2008. So, probably after the editorial changes deadline for Zagat guides.

Yep, Louise Black. The designer I know(ish). She has a good design sense, and does beautiful work. Kind of dodgy about communication and deadlines when she was running her own businesses, tho'.

Oh, thank heavens. I am not going crazy. Well, I am going crazy but not in this particular instance. I really have liked Louise's stuff so far, and that dress she made for Fatma was gorgeous.

Last night's Making Over America was pretty good, with lots of basic tips.

I was watching a rebroadcast of the VMAs and Mark from SYTYCD is dancing with Lady Gaga!

Oh, good for him!

Christian Siriano's Spring 2010 collection.

Some really terrific pieces here! And some misfires, too, but the gorgeous stuff way outnumbers the bad.

So I just had a horrible/wonderful SYTYCD idea. We all know how Tyce loves his Fauxsse, I'd like/be amused to see it thrown up with non-Fosse musical fare. What specifically came to mind was vampy Fosse choreography to "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" from Ave Q. Perfection!

Big Brother: HOLY SHIT! (just got to the HOH contest)

I think Jordan's speech to Kevin may have lost her first place though.

YAY! I was wrong!
