- Ping is Bat-Shit Crazy. Capital Letters. Not sure how she even got on the show - all she did for her first challenge was throw some fabrics over her model's head, weave MORE fabric into her hair, and teach the poor girl some bizarro "dance moves" to do on the runway. Just... no.
- One of the models, Alison, was shown (on the Models of the Runway show) playing a song on her guitar. It used the word "moondrenched" and it was totally gorgeous. Here's her myspace. The song is called "Dream Dream Dream."
- My favorite designers so far, in order (links are their outfits this week):
- Emilio - the silhouette was adorable, and I need that fabric, STAT. Also his model was awesome.
- Anna - well-made, young, yellow, happy, sunny, cheerful...
- Jay Nicolas -Oh my god that DRESS. I want it! I would wear it EVERYWHERE.
- Maya -beautiful fabric (apparently I have a thing for brocade), but it was a little like she memorized Christian Siriano's Runway sketchbook and just copied it. Originality, por favor!
- Mila - Fascinating mixing of prints, if not terribly well-made, but mostly I liked her because I'm pretty sure she would hunt me down if I said anything mean about her. Weird sort of "SIEG HEIL!!!" vibe from her that I just can't place.
- Janeane - Both outfits she tried this week were pretty awful, but she has a really nice eye for technical detail that I think will work out nicely if she can finish anything on time this season.
- Pamela -pretty in its own way, but she said that it was "youthful" when it was not. I would wear this dress. If I were the Mother of the Bride.
- Jonathan - He called his dress "thoughtful." I agree. But I was bored. DON'T BORE NINA!
- Anthony - To be honest, I didn't care a bit about his dress (great print, WTF was that pouf on the side?) but he is going to be fun to watch this season.
- The "Had Better Go Home Next Week OR ELSE" list, in order:
- Ping - Again, WTF.
- Seth Aaron - the weirdo, rocker-chick, "Tokyo Chic" or whatever the hell he called it was obnoxious, plus he could very easily be the most annoying male on the show.
- Jesse - the point of a business suit is to look like you're put-together and classy. I guess he didn't get the memo.
- Jesus - A leather evening gown? REALLY?
- Amy - I didn't hate it, per se, but why was there a fabric seashell over her right boob?
- Ben - the comic-book thing is going to get old REAL fast.
And I would like to go on record and say that I am VERY GLAD that Christiane went home. She had serious promise, and definitely did not have the worst dress of the night, but she was going to be a self-righteous DRAMA QUEEN. ALL CAPS.
2. I am reminded every day of how amazing my life is. I have incredible, supportive, enthusiastic friends that sometimes operate as my personal cheerleading squad. During my freshman year of college, when I would visit my parents back in my hometown, many of my friends would say things like "It's just not as awesome when you're not here!" I was always delighted to hear that, but I secretly hoped that my college friends would say that too. And they do, and I am so lucky.
3. I hate dance clubs. If a bar is usually a bar, and sometimes has a DJ, that's fine, and awesome, and I love that. But dance clubs? No. No no no. Never ever again. (Not in this town, anyway. Willing to give it a shot in New York.)
4. That stupid Jay-Z/Alicia Keys collaboration is really starting to grow on me. He was best on the Linkin Park "Collision Course" album. I really need to steal that from my brother.
