"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You know, what got up the hat designer's nose regarding Valerie's dress? I was wondering why he hated it so much.

Because books.

I thought he liked it but didn't love it, but didn't get how it related to the mask. It sort of didn't, but the flirtiness of the dress and the little bolero really played off the mischief of a mask like that, I thought.

I thought it was interesting that the hat designer put the hats on the models and thus got a close up look at the dresses before they went down the runway. I wonder if that's when he formed his opinion of Valerie's dress. I have to admit, it seemed more like a cute little outfit with a mask added to it than a look inspired by the mask to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

t, that's a good point. He had a hate on for that dress that he couldn't be talked out of.

Amen. Not only did she make booty shorts, she made booty shorts that were ill fitting. And her ill fitting booty shorts looked like a diaper. Kristen at least had an idea and a concept. She executed what she wanted. I might not have liked the look, but at least I didn't recoil in horror like I did with the other outfit.

PR: That was the first top/bottom three that I really wouldn't have guessed.

I wasn't upset with the bottom two, and hadn't been impressed with who went home, but WTFF was Christopher doing there?

I didn't love the winner's dress, but agree it looked great with the hat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not only did she make booty shorts, she made booty shorts that were ill fitting. And her ill fitting booty shorts looked like a diaper.

Seriously. Yikes.

I mean, the shit was QUILTED. That's a freaking tagline for one of the diaper brands!

I HATE "formal shorts" anyway, but if they had been longer, it wouldn't have been as bad.

Speaking of FAIL, Eric Ripert's West End Bistro ended up adding a 20% tip to mine and my friend's credit card. There were three of us, two paid with cards, one paid with cash, so we didn't add a tip onto the cc slips. We thought that we were being nice by leaving the tip in cash!

I have ripped the manager a new asshole, and he's going to call me back with some more information.

eta: Sorry for all of the asscaps, but I'm really pissed about the overcharging.
