PROJECT RUNWAY, JDMA & VODKA (not necessarily in that order)

Today my job required me to carry a half-drunk bottle of SKOL vodka through the lobby of my building, while wearing full body armor.

I'm just sayin'.

Project Runway: You know, I really didn't care for Jillian's red dress. I felt the black piping was not only unfashionably retro, but that it also interrupted the flow of the dress. I thought it brought unflattering attention to the model's waist -- to me, her waist looked thick. I fell asleep before the ending, so I actually don't know who won (I will rewatch it). That said, I know that Steven was voted off, and he should have been. He hasn't created a single memorable or fresh design to date, and using the wedding dress for TRIM on a god-awful housekeeper's frock was lame. If I had had that wedding dress, I would have created a sleeveless, knee length dress with an empire waist -- the beading could have been incorporated into the empire waist as an accent. Then, I would have spent my $10 on a yard or two of fabric that would have been appropriate to make a 1/2-3/4 sleeve Audrey Hepburn-ish style cover-up. While the white fabric was obviously a challenge, it's the design that counts the most, especially as the models themselves brought the base materials, which the designers couldn't control. Out of all the outfits, I would have worn Christian's -- now that was a sleek design. That black blouse was kick ass!

Oh, Jack :(( ♥ I will miss you, Jack.

But, Chris! I'm glad to see you get a second chance, because you are far sweeter and hip than either Angela or Keith were. Besides, I want to see you create a high fashion dress that looks like a salad!

Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency: The crack is back! I love Janice Dickinson, for her sheer insanity. The woman has chutzpah, she does. But, she's so crazy that it doesn't even offend me that she calls normal-sized women "fat." I can't help myself -- I've put Janice on the DVR.

And my TV evening wouldn't have been complete without Gordon Ramsey vomiting loudly and with much gusto.

That must have been an interesting sight ...

Love janice, she makes me laugh.

I loved Christian's and Keith's outfits! I hated Lisa's dress the most and think that she should have been eliminated round number 1.

Not only did I not like Jillian's dress, I thought she basically cheated, and should have been dinged for it. If part of Stephen's problem was not using the raw materials, then it should have been a problem for Jillian, as well. I like your idea for the white fabric; I said I would have made a knee length short and fitted jacket, and used the fabric money for a camisole material, and used the beading on that. And like you, I thought Christians was something I would actually wear, and thought he deserved the win.

I was so glad to see Chris come back, because aside from him being so sweet and positive, I can't wait to see what he does when they finally get a crazy challenge. It is too bad, however, about the circumstances of his return. Poor Jack; I felt so awful for him.
