"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am so obsessed with this show, aren't I? I just rewatched the announce the top twenty show with the SO.

I am still so baffled by Mia's comments to Brandon. "I don't like what you bring to the dance floor?" What is that? I don't understand what she's saying, even. Attitude?

I think they were both just pushing back at how great everybody said he was going to be.

Also, I am sad at losing my shiny Alex toy and the second Kasprzak all over again.

Yeah, I think that he was really upped by Mary and Ms. Allen, so their expectations were through the roof. Mia was kind of nasty about it, although you have to appreciate her frankness. I know many people whose physical mannerisms annoy me for no particular reason, so I could understand that, but not why she was such a bitch about it.

a friend of mine on lj has a daughter that it's the competitive dance circuit and she had this to say about the Mia/Brandon thing.

"Okay so Mia and her little bitchfreak over Brandon? So scripted. So scripted. Mia had Brandon in a workshop this summer which a couple of people from our studio went to and loved him there. That little hissy fit was pure television drama. Trust me."

oh and poor Adam Shankman tweeted his phone number and email address for all to see today. i was cringing for the poor man.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, how else do you have some kind of emotional arc. So weird.

Also with the Alex thing. This makes no sense to me that it would go this far, so I have to guess that Alex will be in next season.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's nuts.

ION, I was watching What Not To Wear, and two things: 1. I really like that they are now summarizing everything the person ended up buying, so you can see that it really is a whole wardrobe, and 2. I wonder how much it would cost just to have Carmindy look at me and tell me what's great about my face.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well, you've had Nick do your hair, so the next logical stop is Carmindy.

Good point! I bet Carmindy doesn't have trainees like Nick does, though, huh?

My sister-in-law does runway/model/art make-up. I'm sure she'd be happy to say nice things. She'd say them in Russian though, so maybe not as helpful.

ETA: like this. [link]

She used to have some of her crazy arty stuff on line, like some of the bizarre challenges you see on ANTM where they're all done up like leopards or something. I wonder if I have any of those saved anywhere. Really neat.

Heh.

I just feel like Carmindy always has something really specific and positive to say.
