Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??

I just can't understand Nina saying that Gretchen's collection is of the moment and where fashion is going.

Me neither. I mean, I don't know enough about fashion to contradict her but I hope she's wrong because I really disliked that collection.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Really? I mean, really? I do not understand fashion.

Because books.

The colors looked wet, muddy leaves! And a lot of the cropped tops with baggy pants pairs were total '80s! Do not understand.

I think Heidi would ROCK Mondo's polka dot dress.

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

Okay, I think I just broke up with PR. I do not get it.

Luckily, I think I was spoiled for this last week, so I have gone through my stages of grief prior to watching this episode. I would have been losing my shit right now otherwise.

Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??

right?

Because books.

Halfway through, when I realized they actually LIKED Gretchen's collection, I started to drink heavily.

Metaphorically, anyway.

It was fun to watch Heidi and Michael go at it, though.

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

did you all see Tim Gunn's reaction. I think he was saying WTF along with us.

Bah.

It's funny, when they describe Gretchen's clothes - easy sexiness and Boho and earthy - that's totally my kind of clothes. But when I look at them, I don't like them at all. Don't like the palette and generally don't like the cuts.

I don't like the outcome, but I did enjoy the judges wrangling.

It's striking to me that Heidi likes that polka dot dress so much when it's so not a typical Heidi dress.

Orientalism, Nina? Seriously?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think I'm glad I'm not watching this season.
