Because books.

What is Nigel's dance background? I looked at his bio on the show site, and it seems like all TV and producer credits.

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

That's what missing for me on Fashion Show. The lack of Tim Gunn is just ... a big hole.

There's also the almost complete lack of talent among all the contestants. The constant whining about sewing makes me want to bitch-slap every last one of them.

Can we just skip to the end and give the prize to the tiny pretentious Asian guy whose name I can't remember? The one with a philosophy of lines and stealth fighters and shit? I like his clothes. Everyone else can please go home now.

That, too. I just haven't warmed to any of them.

Snerk. I'd *love* to see that.

"I'm a designer, not a sewer!" It's like saying that I'm an artist, but I can't draw.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Supermodel: Do you all think there is a chance that anyone other than Colin will win fan favorite?

Nope. Well, maybe Sandhurst. But probably not.

I was thinking that the other night. I'm willing to bet it's Colin, even though Sandhurst's asides to the camera are hysterical.

I am so sad Salome is gone.

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

I thought Jonathan might win fan favorite. He and Colin might be the main challenges.

I kind of hope Sandhurst wins because I'd like Sanhurst to get some good feedback right about now. He is getting unnecessarily trashed.

Not everyone has the metabolism to smile in harsh weather conditions. My dear mother would have given the photographers the finger if they asked her to put on a bathing suit and stand on a New York beach in winter.

I've watched a couple of episodes of Fashion Show now. I don't know how many episodes there have been, but are they all group-ish challenges? I think that might be a big part of my problem with it. Well, that, and the whining. And the the lack of talent.
