Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think it's wicked expensive.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Oh I'm sure it is. But maybe I can find remnants or something that I could afford and make something awesome for Em's American Girl doll or something.

Oh, dear. I was better off not knowing that.

You can't picture Tim Gunn standing next to you at the website, though....

Yeah, much different vibe. Tim Gunn doesn't say, "Click it!"

Lisa has two kids with Keith Sweat! And he wouldn't let them be on the show.

Ha! I haven't heard from Keith Sweat since the BET awards did that 90's R&B tribute (they all sounded terrible)

"We have trust issues." Mylar

So much reality TV, so little time.

On SYTYCD, as much as I have many, many problems with Mia, I will miss old girl. Love them or hate them, I always remember pieces that Mia has choreographed. I love the way she pushes the dancers (excepting the ridiculous Cedric routine). And while I think there are lots of good, interesting choreographers out there that the show could recruit to replace her, some of whom used to choreograph for this show (Tovaris Wilson, Marty Kudelka, etc.), I have no faith that the show would actually get them. Their recent additions, aside from Sonya, have been less than inspiring. NappyTab? Joey Dowling? Umm, no thank you. Also, the young kid from the last audition rounds was Nathan Trasoras. Gorgeous dancer. And he hasn't gotten cut yet as far as I know, but they haven't been showing a ton of him either.

On TAR, I'm still in mourning over losing Justin and Zev like that. So sad. I still love the Globetrotters. Miss America and her husband are totally growing on me. And that country singer is definitely on the list. I can't believe he tried to push Mika down that slide! WWJD?

On PR, I give up. I'd bet that if Nina had been around consistently and seen the nonsense that Christopher has sent down the runway the last few weeks, she'd have voted to auf him and not Shirin. Although for all that, I'd have been just as happy to see Logan go. The outfit looked like bad F21. And Logan is just not that hot. He's passable attractive at best. And he hasn't made anything interesting in all the weeks he's been on the show. I'd have given the win to Nicholas. His outfit was the only thing on that runway that looked like something X-tina could work it out in on stage. And she seemed to like his the best out of the top three. I honestly don't know why Carol Hannah won. The dress was pretty, I guess, but much like Althea's, it was clearly not a stage costume. Christina would barely have been able to walk in it, let alone get her Dirrrty on.

I think that this was one of those cases where the parameters of the challenge and what the judges were looking for were different. Technically, they were designing something that she could wear onstage, but what performer ever really wears a gown onstage? (Maybe during a slow set or something, but not as a practical matter)

That reminds me - the judges comments on Logan's outfit were so confusing - it's cavewoman but at least it's youthful and chic. I'm starting to think I don't know what "chic" means.
