And then I think of her Pride and Prejudice cover with the bowler hat and the misspelled "Austin", and I want her gone all over again.

Don't remind me! That was atrocious.

I was so happy to see Prada Marfa in the beginning. Love that piece.

The chefs trying to crack the blue crabs was hilarious. And sad. So much wasted meat. And I'm wondering where on earth they got those crabs. It was not MD blue crab season AT ALL when they were filming.

Because books.

I also get that choosing to use your own body, and often nude, is a valid way to make a certain statement, or explore certain themes in art. But I can't help feeling that Jaclyn does it because she can't think of anything else to do.

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

I think there are farmed blue crabs available year round.

I wonder if she had really gone with her original "Austin" plan (with her self-portrait photo) if they would have been tired of the concept by the time the Audi challenge came around.

Yeah, that makes sense. I just think of crabs as a summertime thing.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, Project Runway is going to start off with 17 designers in season 8.

I wonder if there is going to be a huge auffing early on.

I'm debating if I'm even going to watch PR this time around. I feel rather blah about the idea.

Is anyone else watching The Choir on BBCA? Last night was good, although I'm hoping that some of those kids realize that the second round of auditions (which Gareth had warned them about during the very first rehearsal) is yet another reminder that, hey, life isn't always fair. Loved seeing the Kenyan family reunited--so sweet! And the choir's fear of the dreaded 11th year's (aka, seniors) reaction to their concert had me flashing back to high school.

I keep forgetting that it's on!

I hope it's On Demand.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am loving the Choir too. Gareth is nicely fulfilling my need for a tall pale skinny freckled passionate Brit since the Tenth Doctor left. Now that they are going to China, I think the muttering will die down. I loved the deadpan tone of the narrator, describing the 11th years circling like wolves. I do hope Enoch gets to go to China. He's such a darling.
