Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ANTM: Anslee is gone - yay.

And according to GFY, there is a Wii Project Runway game (steps aside to avoid the stampede).

"We have trust issues." Mylar

This is only the second season of TCM - so you haven't missed much at all.

Oh, goody! Thanks to the magic of DVR, I have four episodes waiting for me at home. How many episodes were there in the season?

ANTM: The judges are actually making good decisions and sending the weakest girls home, which I attribute entirely to ALT being on the judges panel rather than Ms. Jay. (Truth be told, I thought Whitney made a great guest judge, but I feel badly about that) I am living for Alasia. Krista is too old, at least in the topsy turvy fantasy world of modeling. I do not get Angelea. She is very "That's a man, baby!" for me. Jessica is no prettier than your average mall queen. And Raina reminds me so much of Denise Richards that I just can't get over it, but I wouldn't throw a fit if she won because she's gorgeous and she takes fierce photos. Alexandra barely registers. I really don't understand why Tyra continues to have the one plus size girl each season. They will never let one win again, unless it is a special, all plus size girl season. Tyra already threw the plus size gals their one, fleshy bone and now she's done. And New Zeland? Really, Fivehead? Really? Is it now a hotbed of high fashion? I guess I missed the memo.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I agree - I wanted to see the rest of Jay's collection, not Mila's.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jessica is no prettier than your average mall queen.

She's like the epitome of girlfriend cute.

And Raina reminds me so much of Denise Richards that I just can't get over it,

I mean, seriously!

On to PR: I actually feel bad for Emilio now.

And just in case anyone isn't aware -- they are doing the reunion on Models of the Runway, with designers and models.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That vertical-striped black-and-white dress of Seth Aaron's was only the second outfit from a finale runway show in the entire history of PR to make me think, "I must have that for my very own!!" (The first was Jay's long quilted coat.) When I lose my weight after my surgery, a dress like that will be first on my request for my sister to make for me.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Wow, this is a real bitch session!

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

Wow, this is a real bitch session!

Yeah, and Jay crossed the line from catty to unforgivably mean. I mean, wow.

Totally!

I kind of look at Jay and Maya together, on this (although I know jay is older), and I think a few things become clear. Maya's articulated, in interview after interview, that there's a cost that comes with winning this thing, and she wasn't ready to pay it, even if she had a shot at it. That takes a certain level of maturity to understand, but it's something that -- as both an artist and a sometimes teacher -- I understand keenly. too much success too early can doom you in the long run. It can lock you into a place where you will stagnate and die creatively. I've seen it a million times. So Maya has my immense admiration.

But Jay? Jay's immaturity is staggering, and his lashing out at Cerri shows how NOT ready he is to play on a higher level. He just can't handle it. So seriously unimpressed.
