Oh, and I didn't even comment on Kenley's disaster of a disco lizard costume. It's like she forgot that the bit about designing for Hedda Lettuce in the van was just a joke.

Not quite raised on a tugboat, but I saw this in a catalog I got yesterday.

Ha!

Oh, yes - I think if Leeanne had limited the ruching it would have both looked better AND been more true to her overall style.

Of course, she would still have that blue fabric in back. What's up with that?

I forgot about that fabric. I have no idea. It seemed like there was a lot of sticking extra fabric on in this challenge.

I liked the idea of having another color in there, I think she just didn't have time to really use it effectively.

I do think Kenley was right to take Suede's model a few weeks ago; she has a great body and really sells whatever she wears.

Yeah, I know everybody gets pissy over the model switching, but honestly it's a real advantage to get to pick. And the chance comes along rarely, so it's wise to take advantage of it when you can.

That said, I think it sucks that it's a competition for the models because so little of it is in their hands. It's been what, three weeks since they even modeled? And yet they get eliminated more or less randomly.

Well, they say it's a competition for the models: that must be their incentive to perform well. That's the only control they have.

I would love for them to go back to picking the models each time. They don't have to show the whole pick, but it would be nice to know it's happening.

On to Top Design, I grow more and more in love with Kelly Wearstler's looks. She's like the Posh of interior design!

I sometimes watch just to see what Kelly is wearing, and how she's done her hair.
