ugh I know. But it's realistic if they want to be working models, I guess.
Yeah, that's the problem. They are realistically portraying the fucked-up industry, so what can you say to that? Other than the industry is fucked up...
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish they would say that. I'm really glad that at least she didn't go home over it! Man, that stinkface Gabriel has to go next!

Yeah, I adore Make Me a Supermodel, and was very glad CJ and her bad attitude went home. I do not like Amanda at all, either. And I adore Colin, he is SO CUTE. Hee.
I got in a whole loud discussion in the dyke bar at trivia over this the other week with a gayboy. :)

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

I saw that on Countdown earlier this week--Olbermann was making a supreme effort to not cackle when they played the line from his Slap-Chop commercial, "Let me show you my nuts."

I have to ask, did they borrow camera lenses from Elizabeth Taylor when they shot his infomercials? He looks about 20 years older in his mugshots than on TV...

There's something about the lighting in the police station that adds 10 years. The booze doesn't help, either

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
MMaSM: Agree with all said, especially re: the measurements, but I understand what's being portrayed. It is still always upsetting to me to see someone who to my eye is unhealthily thin be excited over losing more weight. However, as ita indicates, I have no way of knowing which person is actually at a healthy weight for their metabolism.
Still, models look too thin to me. It makes me uncomfortable that my society is demanding this one particular body makeup from them, just like I feel uncomfortable watching the jockeys try to keep their weight down. It just seems like we ask too much of them.
Otherwise, yay, CJ's gone. Kerryn is definitely growing on me. She seems very mutable. And she did rock that white suit. (Back to CJ, I loved the styling they did on her, so I was even more miffed that she clearly hated it.)
