You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

"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.

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

Amen!! I really like her! And the hottie dykey vegan from Seattle is also a fave, though I suspect she'll hit up on something she's not willing to do soon, and get kicked out.

I did love how Isis' privacy picture turned out though--it was gorgeous. I wished those bitches doing the "you need to shave" and shit during it had gotten smacked down, though. Damn.

I fear for the makeovers soon, when I suspect they'll do just as much damage to some of the girls who already look gorgeous (Sheena, dykey Seattle girl, the french one) as the will to help the ones who need it (that one with the awful red hair).

'Til we dance away...

And yet the transgender model still looked more feminine than Dominique from cycle 10.

On PR I actually thought that the bottom 3 design that didn't end up in the bottom 2 was the worst. The others at least had some sort of concept.

Was that the one with the back and the hood and stuff?

My least favorite was the long green print dress with the herringbone jacket over the top. Neither piece was interesting, they didn't go together, and I wouldn't have thought they were inspired by the era. Although I don't have a lot of knowledge about that era anyway.

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

The hood/backless/hot pink Asian (WTF?) was Joe's and was in the bottom two. Suede was the third worst, according to the judges. I blame Fern Mallis for this mess! I think Stella has a better eye than Blayne, Suede and Joe, but she would have been auf'd eventually, as will those three soon enough.

Oh yeah, I think I'd blocked that one out.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Leanne is really pulling it out. Surprising.

I'm revising my rankings, and now think she and Korto are headed for a showdown in the finale, along with possibly Terri, who's slipping a bit. Some contestants come on PR and eventually run out of steam, but there's a few who, like Leanne, get their bearings and ramp up.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I'm also liking Kenley more these days. She's been knocked off her high horse a bit I think.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, she did tell Diane Furstenburg what her collection was missing.

Yes, Suede's idea was all wrong - it wasn't just a failure in execution it was a failure in design. I think that should have knocked it down further than Stella's or Joe's. Meanwhile, I really thought that Stella's design was better than Joe's - even though execution on both sucked. I think Joe's sucked worse and his design wasn't as good. I am surprised that he wasn't out of there.

I thought that the top three all did amazing stuff. I am a bit disappointed that Jerrell didn't pull out a winner. I thought that this challenge would be right up his alley.
