  1. I believe they started work the next day, if that's what you're saying. But yeah...even with that I would have been exhausted from the hours in a plane, getting to and from the airports (even with a limo - traffic is traffic) and the heat. And just a note, PR producers: if a designer is wearing a tshirt that you have to blur out due to endorsement issues or a celebrity declines to okay it, just ask the freakin' designer to change their freakin' shirt. I paid so much attention trying to figure out who that was on Laurence's top I lost track of what she was actually doing. Do Not Want to see a blur for nearly 3/4 of the whole show. Closest I came was Kanye, who probably wanted 2 million to allow the use of his slack-jawed image. Yes...last week's spike-shouldered black dress that should have won but didn't. I was so disturbed by her pants that I forgot about it too LOL
  2. Don't get me wrong - I truly like Laurence. But - another leather jacket? Really? Don't tell me that's just what "people choose to see"...it's all there is to see. Speaking of things I would have chosen not to see...if any other designer showed that saggy baggy front crotch droop they would have been out on their poopy ass. Having said that, I do wish those pants would have been around in the 1960's - so much room for those bulky Modess Feminine Napkins and sanitary belts. Cornelius's's's's's outfit was a joke. His snide insistence that it "is current" is a perfect example of his character. Brik wouldn't have gone home if he hadn't been in the bottom 3 so many times. And Erin? Get. It. Together.
  3. Oh I remember that case very well. Awful. She - and her grandmother - struck me as so conniving. Thanks for the update.
  4. Look at my breasts! LOOK AT THEM! No, especially that spicy Suarez senorita. She's gotta be 40. Her breasts however, are another story.
  5. Oh you're right! It's been what...a few weeks and I forgot already. Thanks!
  6. Well now that her inspiration Tasha has been auffed, she should be fine. It's funny - except for that stupid tie - I thought Heidi looked uncontrived, natural and beautiful.
  7. How did Tasha even make it onto the show? I was happy she won the first challenge (Miss Ruth has alreadly set me straight about this disrememberance), even though I disliked her look - dropped crotch, ugh - but everything she does looks like random crap she pulled out of her closet, cut up and sewed back together. Plus her personal style is less than inspiring. She looks like a wrinkled, sloppy, hobo mess every damn day. And it has nothing to do with her weight or income. A designer should represent their aesthetic and Tasha always looked like she just hit the snooze alarm again. That is not street style, except for actual unemployed street people who have no home - like Tasha for a while. Can't say I blame Erin, but yeah...not good sportsmanship. Laurence should have won. IKR? I loved the "behind the scenes" bit where Tim corrected Erin et al about their pronunciation of "mauve" last week. It's 'mow-ve' not 'maw-ve'. Oh and PR - you can show that fugly yellow coat as often as you want but it's still hideous to me.
  8. Was just coming to post this. I much preferred the old Bowery...I would have spent hours rummaging through all the junk, trying to squeeze down the narrow, over-merchandised aisles, blowing dust off glassware, and finding stuff I never knew existed. The new store is nice, but nothing special. Old Bowery reminded me of a giant Fishs Eddy before it became "Fishs Eddy". That place was a mess, but boy...was it fun to shop in. I know I stand alone in this, but Howard's penchant for vacations didn't bother me at all. I would love to take 2 weeks off every 2-3 months. It's not like everything fell apart when he wasn't there. In fact, his staff was probably thrilled that he wasn't. However, what is it with owners who just don't show up for meetings with Marcus? It seems like the past few episodes have featured this disrespectful behavior.
  9. I agree. By definition a deli is a place that slices meats and cheeses and sells them. Or makes a sandwich for you. And the best ones are German, but that's long gone. Grocery store delis are uniformly meh (at least here in Albuquerque.) A deli does not prepare biscuits and chicken fried steak or many hot meals in general. I would walk in there and expect to be able to buy a half-pound of olive loaf, some cheese and maybe some ham. I would be sorely disappointed. Perhaps for Pawhuska the Merc Chuck Wagon, Canteen, Bistro. Eatery, or whatever would be more true to what they serve. And I'm only half-kidding about 'Chuck Wagon'.
  10. That's how I feel about a lot of PW recipes (except for her delicious salisbury steaks...). I was dying to try the mini meatball casserole and the meat seasoning was like...salt and pepper?....very bland. Oh well...at least you tried it.
  11. Making duck lips for every single selfie can take its toll. They couldn't really charge Bonnie with anything (except stupidity...) because at no time was she pursuing Frances. Frances was kind of an idiot too - "Let me just chase my husband's girlfriend down the highway at 85 mph until she stops and talks to me..." but I can understand her anger and frustration. And then Bill joins the convoy...what is wrong with people? Who does this? I felt so bad for the wife. Seemed like an accident to me and I thought she would do nominal time but apparently not.
  12. That was one of the roughest punishments ever! Although the Murr's skydive still trumps them all, at least for this acrophobic. I find Q's disappearing beard very distracting LOL. I know the episodes aren't filmed in order but it still confuses me!
  13. dianagerace - be sure to add a buncha parsley on top for brightness! Just give it a rough chop and just sprinkle on top and then just put it in the oven. When it's hot, you can just let it cool for a bit and then just serve it.
  14. Hahahaha...this is great! Thanks for posting...I now can happily kill a few hours this weekend while learning stuff.
  15. How does someone even bite an eye?
  16. Hahahaha...thanks for posting! These old shows seem so rudimentary and low end compared to what's on now. Can't imagine what the budgets were back then. Wonder if Property Virgins is ever coming back? I didn't love the show, but it was enjoyable enough. I guess everything is about renovations now. :(
  17. Oh I agree...making a flattering and supportive bra or swim top is an art, and I would never expect Tasha or any of the designers to be able to master it immediately. But all Tasha had to do was cut bigger triangles and at least part of her problem would have been solved. IIRC Howard Hughes designed the underwire bra for "The Outlaw" (I think that was the movie?) and Jane hated it! And I vividly recall her commercials for Playtex too. There were so few bra commercials on TV back then that it was almost shocking. And the bra was shown on a mannequin, not a real woman so as not to offend delicate viewers! I wonder how Victoria's Secret commercials would be received back then LOL.
  18. I'm the exact same way! Episode after episode of happy, easy-to-please buyers would get so boring. But the pissy ones make me so angry I've actually have to stop watching for a week or two LOL. I'd love to see some shows from 15 years ago - the Suzanne Whaaaannng years - just to compare how different the buyers behave.
  19. I am officially withdrawing my name from the Fans of Tasha roll call. Girl...how hard can it be to make a swim top that covers and flatters? It's two triangles with some string. She already had a fitting and knew it was too small. And then gets all panicky and flustered as time winds down. Not to mention the "Rasta" print which 2 judges mistook for a Chinese/Japanese restaurant menu. She really deserved to go home. Rik's was so superior to everyone's else's...from the minute it hit the runway it stood out. Heidi has the worst taste in clothes. I'm sure her stylist is there, but ultimately it's Heidi's choice and it's always a bad one. So. Much. Green.
  20. Hahaha...watching it too. I loved how she said she wanted to make the brownies "extra sweet". Because they're just not sweet enough on their own.
  21. Does anyone know if A Crime To Remember is returning to ID? This was probably my favorite ID show and kept my attention even when I knew whodunit from the start. So well done, and each episode perfectly captured the look, tone and culture of the year it featured. No OTT drama, violence or sex. I checked online, as well as the dizzying ID website to no avail. :(
  22. One of my very favorite lines from the show (paraphrased because I can remember exactly what Sonny said): Sonny: Wow. I just got back from a vacation and feel great. I have energy, I feel like I could run 10 miles. Really...I feel like a new man! Cher: Me too.
  23. Didn't read Old Yeller but saw the movie as a kid and it scarred me for life LOL. Oh the tears! But it prepared me for when I saw "Brian's Song" as an adult. To stay on topic - I don't know anything about pigs, but it seems like you'd really have to irritate them to get them riled up.
  24. I am so freaking jealous of you right now.
