Thanks, flea!
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Hey, I just realized that maybe the reason why Louise Black (of the skeleton cameo corset) has been slow with designs is that she's going to be on the new Project Runway!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
You know, the thing I never understood with Project runway is the "no using books" thing. I am not sure it is possible to make patterns for things with no reference material. i can't imagine these designers are all super pattern makers who have collar patterns memorized, for example.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's why they make drapey things, no? Or they do memorize certain things. I remember how striking it was when a season came where everything wasn't a sleeveless dress all the time!

I remember one challenge when the designer took his own pants apart to figure out how to make a pattern. I thought that was very smart. And then some other contestant wanted to use them @@

I don't know- I mean, I make patterns and I couldn't do it at all. I know basic shapes, but making something that fit properly and had all the insides sewn nicely would be difficult. Also, it seems like you are really limiting the scope of the design if you limit it to what people can pattern and sew without reference.
Although, I would have had no problem doing this in my twenties, so perhaps this is the answer!

So who do people want to see go home tonight on SYTYCD?
Or Big Brother, for that matter.

SYTYCD is getting down to the point that it's hard to say who goes. I'd be okay with Jason or Ethan going, but I worry they have the biggest number of teenage fangirls. I like all the girls (well, I hate Kayla, but she danced really well) and I'd be hard pressed to choose.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would have to send Evan home. I do feel like he was trying to stretch out of his rut in the partner dances, but he didn't make it all the way, and his solo seemed like a retread of what he's been doing all season.
Among the girls, I just don't know. Not Jeanine, definitely The rest of them are good but didn't wow me last night, so I don't know how to choose. I am befuddled by Melissa's lack of hip action in the cha-cha, so I guess her.

The girls are hard for me too. I guess maybe Janette or Kayla?
