The Finale

i have to agree w/ Joan - as long as PR isn't a popularity contest, Jeffrey deserved to win. that last green striped dress really sealed it. it was beautiful.

but i still hate the bastard.

the other big theme of the show is just how much Michael's collection sucked. Heidi was right that Michael seemed to grow so far beyond his initial portfolio, which i recall consisting of similarly whorish outfits. sadly, left to his own devices, it appears that Michael is destined for a job at 5-7-9. maaaaybe Bebe if he works really hard.

Uli & Laura both have solid shots at success. their collections will certainly have fans.

so is this it for another year?! don't know how i'll be able to bear it. although Season 2 of Top Chef has promise, especially since they've replaced that horrible first-season host w/ Salman Rushdie's white-hot wife.

oh michael!

i am sooo scared of watching the finale.  i have an aching feeling that michael's collection will be disappointing, and our favorite scum will take the spotlight.  i want michael to win more than i wanted santino or kara saun.

speaking of kara saun, it turns out that she showed at the mercedes benz fasion week back in mar: http://www.mercedesbenzfashionweek.com/fall2006/de...

this line is very "kimono" - and one of her pieces looks like a kara janx knock-off.

Meet Joan!

a belated intro to our new friend/fellow PR junkie, Joan, who's just about the cutest, friendliest chick one could hope to bump into at one's favorite boutique (Impulse!). sadly, she's just migrated from Seattle to Chicago. snif. but we won't let the distance keep us apart!

Vincent Is Psycho

ok, so the Reunion episode certainly provided plenty of fodder for commentary, but Vincent won the spotlight hands-down. WHAT A FREAKIN' PSYCHO. a hissy fit over a couple clubbing shirts from Express Men?? could he be any more of an AS*HOLE?

and where did my poor sweet Bradley go?? did Mr. Creepy Clean-Shaven Bradley kill off Sweet Innocent Bradley of old and take his place? ahhh, how cute Sweet Bradley was in the video-clip montage, clucking his tongue & daydreaming. watch out behind you, Innocent Bradley - Mr. Creepy Bradley's gonna get you! evil, mean Mr. New Bradley!

i've said it before, & i'll say it again: Jeffrey's such a shithead, & i hate him. wait, i think i hate him even more now that he refused to apologize for being mean to Angela's mom...yep, the Hate-on-Jeffrey-Meter's off the charts.

poor Malan - so unloved & misunderstood. Heidi's impression of his laugh was the best thing ever.

ok, so about that upcoming scandal: while Laura's probably right that Jeffrey cheated, how could they really prove it? it's probably just going to blow up in Laura's face like a bunch of nuclear sour grapes.
