The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks Brenda. I'm almost sorry the tool is out, because at least he might have been entertaining.

I was so happy with the winner of the challenge last night - excellent job. And the runner up.

I also liked the way 3rd place person used color.

I would have been happy if all of the bottom 3 on PR had been cut.

Yeah, the other guy's raincoat was a little bizarre, but at least he *designed* something, with detail. (Weird detail, but whatever.) Hers looked exactly like what it was -- a garbage bag.

Yes. Exactly. And she was such a fucking sad sack about it. I hate that defeatist attitude more than delusional bragging.

The tanorexic wishes he was Christian. But, "girlicious" really???

It's like he thought "hey, I need a catchphrase! Christian had fierce, so I use . . . . girlicious?"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I loved how #3 used the kale and tomatoes in her neckline--very striking use of color and texture that paired nicely with the yellow of the tablecloth (and at least she chose a tablecloth with some pop to it!). However, I can see why the winner won--the dyeing and bleaching was something I was a bit iffy about at first, but it really produced an interesting look to the fabric, and her use of the other materials (spiral notebook for hooks and eyes was brilliant, imo!) was very innovative.

I also really liked the crocheted top made out of rag mops (now I'm earwormed with "Rag Mop" from the Muppet Show).

Somebody on TWO said what I just thought about Jerry's designe: it looks like Dr. Horrible's outfit! Down to the white boots. The only (two) differences would be the yellow gloves and that lavendar thing the model wore under the coat.

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

it looks like Dr. Horrible's outfit!

Bwah! It so did!

And who knows, NPH could be wearing lavendar gauze under that lab coat...

Definitely. Lavendar would really suit him.

Top Design season 2 contestants announced. I hope that the changes they made to the show actually make it a better show.

And her piece looked very finished. Which they love of course.
