There was a lot of leeway in what they could do, but that was an awesome inspiration piece, and no one sold that to me in either era or actress.

I really wish that they had actually shown the designers the movie because it was clear that most (if not all) of them had never seen it and were just parroting back DvF's description of it when asked about their inspiration.

oh, weird, post weirdness.

uh, what did I say?? ? OH! ANTM girl who said she was almost "sold" to someone from the Middle East? Looks so much like Michele Tractenberg to me it's scary!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I agree. The film and Dietrich have such a distinct feel that they really would have benefited from seeing it.

Yes she does! But she also has very pretty hair...which I'm afraid they will do terrible things to in the makeover episode.

Oh I know! So worrisome...but also why we watch!

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

Did Big Brother show for any of you? It doesn't seem to have in California. Never mind--it was just almost 2 hours late.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am watching ANTM on the Sunday repeat - that whole MIT thing was ridic, why does Tyra do stupid stuff? Also, her talking slowly and e-nun-cia-ting everything when she is "being deep" and hitting the "important topics" SO OVER! where is my get over yourself stick.

glad the girl got kicked off who did. Clark is so awful I'd like to see her gone, except it might leave a really boring show. Alaska girl and high strung French girl might need to get locked in a room together and break down.

As per my usual, I just want the makeover show already. Martial arts girl reminds me of confused lesbian girl they made platinum blond in like cycle 8.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally -- if you mean the one who recently had the baby with Johnny Fairplay.

So, it's Fashion Week -- what is up with the PR finale? Is it being filmed now? It's too early in the aired season!

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, PR is filmed ahead of schedule so I'm sure that this fashion week is the one where they're filming the finale.
