Okay, I know this is going to sound really stupid, but obviously I must have missed something ... at the beginning, Alyssa introduced someone named Samantha who was sitting behind her ... who was that? Not Samantha the designer, since she was with the group. I felt like I was supposed to know who she was and I've been a pretty devoted PR watcher but I've never watched one of the reunion shows before so ... help please?
I've also wondered about Dmitry's ... tastes, even though I realize the curiosity is totally inappropriate. There is just something about him that I find inexplicably sexy, though, and he really brought it last night (or whenever ... I just WATCHED it last night).
But I do love me my Fabio. He just seems like someone who would be wonderful to hang out with (and the rest of the designers generally seem to feel the same way). Deep dark confession: I actually bought one of his designs on the PR auction ... I fell madly in love with the dress (the paint-splattered fashion-forward one with the slit in the front and the odd bustle in the back) and I thought it might be my one and only chance in my life to have something truly one-of-a-kind that I might actually be able to wear ... I am impossible to fit (I'm short, high waisted, gravity has taken its toll on everything from shoulders to knees, and the girls are huge -- in other words, NOT a model). I asked him via Twitter if the dress might possibly fit someone whose measurements were not modelesque and he responded very quickly that the top had a lot of room.
And, indeed, it did! It actually DOES fit me on the top ... I need to get it hemmed a bit at the bottom because, again, I am 5-2, but it seems like it will be a pretty easy alteration. The bustle is odd but my butt is pretty small so it doesn't look too bad, and it looks really amazingly good in the front (the slit is just the right height to show some leg but still allows me to sit without flashing the world) so I'm very excited ... there was/is a little bit of the model's matte makeup at the neckline so I'll get it dry-cleaned first but I thought that was sort of a neat touch. I'll take a picture ;)
