"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

New Bourdain show - debuts Monday, October 20th.

Sounds like "Dinner for Five" from IFC, except about food instead of movies. I like the concept. Some of my favorite Bourdain moments have been the "having dinner with friends/acquaintances" segments of his shows.

hah! from a comment on Proj Rungay

All of you who are so concerned about Leanne's hair will be happy to know that when she appeared on Regis & Kelly this morning, she had had a cut and it was clean. It looked SO much better!

THANK GOD!

I think that she borrowed the hat from Jerrell.

The next level of the Reality TV Show brackets is up at WGN radio--one of my hardest votes ever was Dirty Jobs vs. Amazing Race!!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Finally watched the PR finale. I really feel that the only reason Kenley lost was because they didn't like her. I can't believe Leanne one for doing the same outfit over and over again. It was so boring! I'm glad that she is getting new hair.I can't believe she allowed herself to look that way on the runway.

I really feel that the only reason Kenley lost was because they didn't like her.

Really? I didn't like her collection at all. Uglee. and the painted fabric looked amateurish and granny, not in a good way, to me.

But that's just me. From what Tim said, he thought she had some beautiful looks but everything was just really stiff. It didn't move well as clothing on the models at all.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I really thought Korto should have taken it. Kenley's collection had one or two stunners (pink corset top w/ big fluffy black skirt ftw!), but also some real clunkers (the painted flower dress with the sleeves looked like someone had stuck shoulder pads under a muumuu). And I *really* don't get the stiff skirt with the random explosion of ugly flower print on the side.

Leanne...I can see why she won, but I just didn't like her collection at all. I still think her wedding dress looks like a giant garlic costume. I liked her bridesmaid dress and her evening gown, but pretty much hated the flippy wave things on everything else. I just thought they looked stupid.

I didn't love all of Korto's collection, but there wasn't anything in it I flat-out hated, and a few things that were just amazing, like her long green halter dress. I love the way she takes simple clean lines and just twists them slightly - her clothes are always interesting, but they're also extremely approachable.

oh man, I'm watching Tim Gunn's show from this week. I can't figure out why that woman wanted to be on the show at all!
