Instead of taking clueless people who have nothing in their closets that can be used, I'd like to see people who are maybe halfway there. They have pieces but they don't know how to pull it all together. People who want (note my use of the word "want") to learn how to complete a look, how to accessorize, etc.
This is a show my mother and I have wanted to see for YEARS. Like normal people, we have a lot of stuff that's fine, some stuff that's really good, some stuff that's really bad. And speaking for myself, I hardly accessorize at all, and I never layer.
I love how Tim and Gretta were like, "Come ON. We're in Neiman-Marcus! Even the less-fancy floor is PRETTY EFFING FANCY."
I'd love that!
really, it could be a 5 minute thing where viewers send in pics of the pieces or them wearing the pieces, and Tim would do a John Madden thing with a pen, adding a scarf or saying "get the skirt tailored to this length" or whatever.
A lot of times, I think that they pick them worst cases because it makes the watchers feel better about themselves "well, at least I don't wear that "
I'm sure you're right. They pick the people that will provide the AMAZING REVEAL. But, personally, I feel like I've already seen that show so often that I'm bored.
On Top Design, Jeff Lewis continues to crack my ass up. I have definitely grown to appreciate him over the seasons of Flipping Out.
He was WONDERFUL. And thank GOD, Eddie is gone.
oh dang it! I forgot I hadn't watched the last 1/2 hour of Top Design and just spoiled myself! I was worried at Todd's walkthrough though that it might be Nathan.
I thought Preston looked upset in some of the interviews, so wondered if he was out, but I think he was actually just upset talking about his father's death. That explains why he's not interested in drunken antics, beyond just not wanting to play Eddie's bitchy games....
I felt for Preston, I really did. He seems like someone who really needs a hug.
I recognize what a sacrifice I would be making, but I'm more than willing to be the hug provider he needs.
So, Sugar -
I'm now leaning more towards "playing dumb" than "thinks she's playing dumb but also actually is." Getting rid of Ace was a smart move.
Yeah, she redeemed herself from the insane stupidity exhibited last week.
I am watching Top Chef reruns, whee! I can't wait till the new season.
