Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

PR: Just caught most of the last episode. I am soooo glad Fring-boy is gone! Boo-fucking-hoo! Don't let the door hit your whiney ass on the way out!

And can Terri and Korto catch a break? they alternate being the 2nd choice! I hated Leanne's dress. Jerell's was much better!

Art Crawl!!!

I caught an episode of Tabitha Simon's Salon Takeover - so much fun!

I'm going to catch another episode tomorrow.

She's like a less cuddly Gordon Ramsey.

Tabatha's takeover is awesome.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Agree on Jerrell, but I don't think Korto deserved her spot in the top three. They gave her a pass on using a tablecloth in the first challenge because of the silhouette (and the veggies, to be fair). I'm glad they didn't do the same here.

I mean, it was beautiful and all, but I can walk down Michigan Avenue and find ten stores selling bags made of woven seatbelts. Hell, the chairs in the cafe in my office are made of that. There was nothing innovative about that.

If it was made better, I think Stella's skirt could have been gorgeous. But as is, and with that top, not so much.

Happy to see freaky Keith get booted - that was a frumpy, badly made train wreck.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I was sure Leanne's dress was going to be awful with those hip bump thingies, but it turned out okay. I still didn't love it, but it was better than I was expecting.

That's what I was thinking, too. I was waiting for one of the judges to mention the seatbelt bags.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Top Model!!!

I love how the Asian girl from Harlem is all down with the transexual woman and the Mormon etc. are freaking out already.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

PR: I was a thousand million percent certain the other one in the bottom two would go. I mean, WTF! That was hideous!

Because books.

I actually liked Stella's outfit, if it had been tailored at all properly. You're right about the one who stayed.

Leanne is really pulling it out. Surprising.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, how I love Sheena on Top Model. She is totally bringing the Asian flava! She's Kimora-tastic in the best possible way.

I'm still scared of Tyra and the Js getting their hands on our lovely transgender model. Giving Isis "privacy" as her election issue? Subtle, Fivehead. Very subtle.
