SHUT UP ELINA!

Top Model: OMG, worst makeover show Tyra ever! Also possibly worst makeovers.

Really? I feel like there have been worse ones. there aren't any disasters are there? although...that's entertaining

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maybe not the worst ever, but nothing exciting, I guess.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Tyra and the Jays were ridiculous tonight. I am going to have nightmares about Tyra eating that apple with mouth wide open and juice and apple bits pouring out. And Mr. Jay's Prince Charming hair? Out of control.

I did enjoy Ms. Jay introducing the hair stylist as a weave "mastress". Hybrid of master and mistress? I wonder if that was in honor of Isis. And speaking of, I'm glad Isis got through this week. That must've been incredibly difficult for her. I cannot fathom her winning, but thus far, Tyra and Co. have not done a terrible job.

I remember the photographer from the Swimsuit Issue TV specials that used to come on. I wish they'd had Julie from those shows rather than random mid-range model. I did like that Fivehead finally admitted that her career was not as a high fashion supermodel, but as a commercial model. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Have to agree that this makeover episode was kind of a bust. Severly lacking in drama. And yes, Elina was annoying, but she wound up looking like hell, so I'll cut her some slack. Really, Tyra? And anyway, she killed that photo shoot. She is seriously fierce, although the tatoos, I think, are going to be an issue as a real working model.

I am LOVING Jerrell this episode! LOVE!

However, Leanne needs to shut it. Joe needs to shut it. And Kenley needs to shut it. Oh? and Suede? Needs to shut it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

OMG, next week: Tim yells at Kenley.

Wow.

LL Cool J!

Kenley needs to drop the attitude now. What the fuck?

(Also, for all her smack talking about not listening to Tim - um, did you see the hem on that dress? @@)

I'm liking Jerrell more and more. We didn't really see his winning design last time (thanks, Bravo) but this one was cute as hell.

Are the PR designers also judging on this Top Design? I don't think I think that's a good idea. They're mostly so tying themselves to whatever the PR designers said.

Though I suppose if you consider them the client rather than the inspiration it's okay. I would just rather have seen these people take it and run, rather than parrot back cues and do their best to mimic them.

Art Crawl!!!

Jerrel was excellent and way to go - winning twice in a row!

I thought that Joe's suit was so completely ill fitting that there was no way that he could escape and I'm glad that I was right.

That jacket cut Leanne's client off in just the wrong way. It totally made her look shorter.

Also: Top Design - fun to see the PR guys on the show. The team working with Andrae should have just designed something to make the dress look good and ignored what he said. It had so little to do with that dress.

Also, someone in a pea green velvet dress, frizzed out hair, and a purple sequined Sam Kinison hat has no place to be talking about anyone's designs.
