Cultural?

Oh sweet Zeus I think I am going to have a coronary.

Yeah, I don't think I want to know what "cultural" encompasses. Nor do i especially need to see her dance it.

I'm happy that Kathryn will be in the stable of dancers. And I fear "cultural" means more Russian folk dancing. Poor Kathryn. She deserves better.

From Bloggin Project Runway:

And in a dramatic shift, a newly formed company called Bye-Bye Productions has been brought in to produce the show. Led by former Magical Elf (and Executive Producer of PR Seasons 1-5) Rich Bye, the new production team will reflect a return to Project Runway's roots.

A change in the production company seemed inevitable considering the recent sale of Bunim-Murray. Rich Bye claims that he has signed on "the most talented and experienced producers in reality television that will bring Project Runway back to the top of reality competition programming." Former PR producers Michael Rucker and Sara Rea are also partners in the new venture.

I was sad to see Didi go last night, if only because it will subject us to another week of Tim. I was also sad to see Diddy because I am always sad to see Diddy and his non-singing, poorly rapping ass. I was also sad that Diddy brought will.i.am and his Hammer pants (In 2010! Come on, man) because BEP is what's wrong with this country. I was also sad to see Usher prove for once and for all that he cannot sing, although not sad to see him dancing again because that fool can break it down, as opposed to Diddy, whose dancing brought me right back to sad again and why did he have that one back up dancer who looked eerily like Jesse James' neo-nazi mistress except without all the tattoos? I was also sad that Big Mike manhandled Ryan in the way that he did and then made those same, tacky ass, cheesy hand gestures at us like we were supposed to think that was cool. Um, no. I was also sad that Judge #4 got off one of the best lines of the night when she pointed out the fact that Tim is probably, maybe, potentially not all that bright because when Judge #4 is entertaining and insightful, then you know that the apocalypse is right around the corner.

I was very happy with ANTM, though, and with the fact that Alasia and all her ghetto fabulousness keeps turning it out. I realize that as the latter day Bree, she will not win this competition, but I am enjoying seeing her kick booty and make ALT mystified and intrigued all at the same time. I think he wants to take her home with him and play dress up with all his caftans and turbans. So should we all.

you forgot "no dancing".

as opposed to Diddy, whose dancing brought me right back to sad again

oh, there it is!

I have never seen someone with so little talent do so well. I have to give him props on that.

Word. I have grudging respect for Diddy and his ability to parlay the tragic death of a talented artist into a career as a performer and music mogul. Can't knock the hustle.
