So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

How much do I love Ms. Jay in that picture? So, so much.

Some of those girls are seriously busted.

ANTM could never disappoint.

I'm really loving the opening ceremony to the Olympics this year. Lovely imagery being used.

What--no comments on last night's Project Runway?

Definitely a big "eh" on just about all the outfits made. I thought Mr. Suntan should go for that horrendously bad idea of shorts (as office wear? as late-night party wear? Bad idea all around!), but that losing outfit was, as Kors said, "Sluttysluttyslutty!" Very skankalicious.

Because books.

I love Michael Kors so much. He makes me cackle with glee.

It's a shame Kelly went home -- I think she's far more talented than that outfit illustrated.

Next week looks hysterical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't even realize which one had won until I went to Project Rungay just now -- I thought it was the other dress with all the belt action!

The corset top wouldn't have been nearly as bad if it had been longer.

I knew from the get go that Blayne's idea of shorts would not work. Shorts are not "day to night". Hell, they're not even day. I'm surprised that Brooke picked it. I sense the hand of the producers.

I liked Jerrell and Stella's outfit. I wouldn't have worn it, but I thought it was good, fit well, well made, stylish, but still professional. They worked well together.

I thought that Korto's outfit was eh. I'm glad that they took in the jacket. The dress did not fit well, though. I also am starting to dislike Joe. He seems like a whiner and a wimp. He didn't voice his opinion until he had some backing from Tim.

I liked Tim putting Kenley in her place with the hideous fabric. At least she admitted it.

I didn't mind Keith's outfit, but I liked Jerrell's better. I do think that Keith's outfit was better for the show/character. Jerell's outfit is a little too edgy for the character. It could have been worn by either of the other two, though.

FTR, I liked Cashmere Mafia a lot better than Lipstick Jungle. A lot of it was my girl crush on Juliet Draper, though.

I thought the dress under Korto's jacket was rather illfitting. And Terri's shirt/pants combo was also eh.

The only reason Jerrell's dress didn't win was Brooke not liking that belt, I think.

I think that you may be right about that. I actually liked it, and I'm usually anti that sort of thing.

Ugh! YES! it was terrible.

Jerrell's was my favorite. And I loved the way he & Stella worked together! Nice use of her strengths. er...strength
