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.
