Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I kind of love MONDO!
Oh yeah. He's great! Coo-coo and awesome.

PR: Wow, most of them really blew that challenge. I thought Valerie's look could have been better with different fabrics and execution, and it was one of the few that read sportswear to me, so I'm glad she didn't go home. I loved Mondo's look and thought it was exactly the right mix of JK inspiration and Mondo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Jesse, who won BB and is there anything worth watching from last week?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far I'm not entirely digging this season of Survivor, but it may just be letdown from the last one. All these new people!

Perkins, Hayden won, and... not really. For a two-hour finale, it wasn't awful, but still, no. Oh! I bet the good parts are in the Gawker.tv recap. [link] All you really need to see is the Britney clip.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
PR has taught me that I have NO IDEA what sportswear is, except it's probably not anything like what the term evokes in my head (which is basically things that could have Nike swooshes).

Sportswear started out as a fashion industry term describing informal and interchangeable separates (i.e., blouses, shirts, skirts and shorts), but now describes clothing worn for a wide range of social events.[3] It was developed to cater to the needs of the increasingly fast-paced lifestyle of American women.[3] The early sportswear designers were associated with ready-to-wear manufacturers, rather than haute couture houses. The clothes were intended to be easy to care for, in easily washable fabrics, with accessible practical fastenings, to enable the modern, increasingly emancipated woman to dress herself without a maid's assistance.[4] While most fashions in America in the early 20th century were directly copied from Paris, designer sportswear was the exception to this rule, being an American invention.[4]
More history at the link. I think that the main thing is the definition described both easy clothing you could wear to take part or watch sports in an era when you usually needed a maid to help you dress. Thus: it's not what you would wear to take part or spectate in a sports today (necessarily).

Interesting. Thanks, sumi.
They really confused me by saying Valerie's was more streetwear than sportswear, but it didn't occur to me to look the terms up.
