I could see a young Fergie (the singer) in Mondo's outfit. Someone in their 20s. The bikini screamed Katy Perry to me.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Ivy also styled her model terribly. The only halfway interesting thing about that look was the shoulder, and having the model's hair down totally obscured it. She would have been so much better off if she'd had some poor construction to point to rather than stripping her design of all personality so it would be something Mike D (I know that's not what PR calls him, but it amuses me) could sew. It's interesting that no one was taken to task for construction/fit problems, at least that we saw.
OTOH, I don't need to hear the phrase "thrown under the bus" ever again.
Kors calling her a seamstress? Ouch. I thought for sure that was the kiss of death.
I think it was Nina that said you could get a look like Mondo's at K-Mart. Which, also ouch, but as soon as she said it I could see what she meant. I did think it was cute, but nothing special.
I cannot wait to see what "MC Hammer meets Beverly Hillbillies grandmother" looks like.

Just Desserts is giving away dessert through OpenTable today (but you have to buy dinner first):

Huh. That was..well, okay.
(Top Chef. Survivor will have to wait until tomorrow.)

Because books.
Yeah, I was ... half interested. Definitely wanted Angelo to shut up about being sick, though.
Just Desserts looks interesting so far. I have to love Gail for (I assume) spearheading a show about dessert. A woman after my own heart.

Huh. That was..well, okay.
Yeah. I think the editing monkeys have been busy this season making people really concentrating on cooking into some kind of soap opera, because they all seemed pretty good tonight. Certainly the food was one of the better finals at least per the judges reactions.

Top Chef: Huh.
Pretty in keeping with the rest of the seasons I guess.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Any Top Model viewers? I know editing can make the girls look like bitches sometimes, but I am so not sad Anamaria is gone. Also glad about the judges calling her out on being too thin and distinguishing between naturally thin (Ann) and sickly thin.

Also, I know Ann is tall, but so is Rhianna (she's only 1/2 inch shorter than Ann). They're not making a big deal out of Rhianna's height.
