Thats what I'm blaming....onions, I don't have a heart, its the onions damn it!

I still think my favorite is slutty french fry. Although, slutty watermelon with a bite out of the side is in a close race for second.....mostly because of the bite, and the absurdity of not even trying to make it a costume, its just a tight pink dress with black dots. I wonder if a pack of girls ever gets together to form a slutty value meal (sexy hamburger, sexy fries, sexy soda )

I don't think Maranzano dies in this drive by, and he actually seemed to know about it. It seemed directed at Nucky, since after Nucky asked about where Torio was, Maranzano saw the cars pull up and said something like "well here is his message now" or something to that effect. Maranzano was facing the window, so he saw the car pull up, if he wasn't expecting it, he seems wiley enough to, upon seeing a car full of people he wasn't expecting stop, to at least panic. It was Nucky who had his back to the window, so he didn't seem to know what was happening.

I'm right there with you.

How about cupping?? I think you and I could be doctors during Prohibition ;) LOL at men furiously clicking away from this forum :)

I've seen the doctors of this time period, Eli would be better off going to his mechanic

That is the funniest website ever. And such marketing genius, a tube dress would retail at what, $20? But make it in pink, add black polka dots and a "bite" and now it retails at $70! I know I'm going to be getting banner ads about slutty club gear and how I can buy legal X from here on out, but it was worth it! If for nothing else, slutty french fry and slutty watermelon. You hit the nail on the head though as to why I loved Seth Aaron's clothes, even if the judges asked for an explanation of his "girl" I never needed it. I knew who his girl was and she was/is fascinating to me. But yeah, if you need to give me story in order for me to like your clothes, you should just make better clothes. Nina would be trying to figure out if "bites" out of clothing is something that young people are talking about now. She would be all over MySpace and Friendster trying to figure it out before making any decisions.

I am always intrigued by professor dramatics. It would be even more hilarious if she threw exams every year. The most amusing thing is that the people like you, who were scared were probably the people she didn't have to worry about, but the people that couldn't give two shits probably didn't care that she threw the exam on the ground. The random name call via the shuffle cards is scary. My first year contract professor tried to do that, but 99% of the time he forgot the flashcards. And ultimately, he had an idea of who he wanted to call on, so if the card always magically came up with the same guy, sitting in the back, playing solitare. But its one of my nightmares to be caught having not done the reading, so I can see how it would help your grade. I think throwing midterms on the ground would fit into this show quite well actually :)

OMG! They have slutty hamburger, slutty french fry, and slutty hamburgler. Although slutty hamburger is pretty much just a tube dress.

But to me, when Korina does southwestern, its done in the same way. Southwestern print on something. Vest/Jacket = southwestern print, Skirt = Southwestern print on the bottom and on the cuffs of the shirt. Even Thunderbird seemed to be an attempt to actually construct a thunderbird around a little black dress (some sort of exoskeleton). She has never evolved the southwestern influence from that, and I think that was Nina's criticism. Patricia, IMO, is a perfect example of someone whose clothing had a Southwest/Native American/Spanish influence, but it was almost never as direct as a southwest style print. And it was always a little different, even if I didn't like it. There was the gunslinger dress, then there was the roses on the dress, and from there it would just go on. Even Sandaya...whose stuff I also didn't like, was able to reference her culture without a direct use of a particular pattern or print. I think the judges will be okay with someone falling back on an influence over and over, but I can understand them wanting the designer to switch it up, and give them something more interesting than slapping a southwestern pattern on things. And I also think the judges are okay with you even slapping a southwestern print of everything if you do it in a successful, interesting or innovative way, I don't think Korina did. I don't think the sew off was necessarily bullshit because they always say, "one day you're in, the next you're out" and have made it clear that each challenge is judged on its own merits. As the disconnect between Tim and the judges shows, fashion is very subjective, even amongst the "experts". Tim is an expert on fashion, so is Nina, so is Zac. Many times this season, they have had totally different opinions on a look. So, I don't know that you can really say that from the judges POV that both looks weren't equally bad. From my POV, both looks had major issues, especially when they really focused in on Korina's look. I think there has been talk of a track record, but its been rare, and I remember those discussions for designers who had done amazing work, especially when up for elimination against someone who had only brought sub par work to the table. Korina's work hasn't always been amazing, nor has her track record on the show. She has had two wins, one of which Char was in the top group as well. And, if she thought it was such bullshit it should have been super simple for her to beat out Char. A one hour sew off, even with Sean helping was a disadvantage to Char because she can't sew/construct fast. Emily and Sean are equally talented as helpers, so it was really down to Char and Korina, and Korina should have been able to easily win it if she was so much more talented. Nina has made those comments in the past about overuse of a particular theme/motif, and the comments have been much snarkier, so it shouldn't have thrown Korina that much off of her game. the judges have also been clear, IMO, that trying to use too many design elements is just as much of a crime as too few. I'm all about rewarding a personal quality like ambition and confidence, but those two positive qualities were far outshadowed by her negative personal qualities of being an entitled bitch, to me. I think if you're rewarding personal qualities, you should reward someone who has demonstrated stress under pressure, which Char did.

In a previous episode Sidney Snow shot a child in the general store, then he shot the owner who witnessed him shooting the child and was ready to shoot Naomi when Cullen showed up.

I think I know what I want to be for halloween!

Its a very Mormon psychopath interpretation of a Crybaby look. It might have been the secret reason why Brigham Young punched him, he just got tired of looking at those curls. Either way, I wonder if the Swede isn't going to try to kill Brigham Young and assume his identity. My line is drawn at Psalms. I'm out if they kill him. I'm happy to see him take over Elam's role, I prefer him to Elam. I barely remembered Louise was a lesbian because I don't believe that they have showcased that this season. So, its possible someone just wanted to hook Campbell up with someone for some ultimate end, and they chose Louise? Or is it possible? If the writers wanted a storyline for Campbell that integrated a love interest, there just aren't that many women in town to choose from. I guess Maggie (hotel lady) but I don't really see that, there is the new lady that Elam held captive, but she doesn't even know the town yet, it could be Eva, but I think a guy like that wouldn't really have Eva as a "love" interest,and she is still mourning Elam. Maybe Ruth, but I think maybe they want us to think that Ruth and Cullen will get together. And Ruth doesn't seem like the sort to get super involved in intrigues and plots. So that sort of, by default, leaves Louise. So maybe they were just hoping everyone would sort of forget about the lesbian thing, since she was really the only character left to pair with Campbell

That entire exchange sounds hilarious. Just the throwing of the exams on the ground sounds too good to be true.

Uhh, hello crazy lady carrying around TruBiotics, do I know you? or do you always come up to total strangers trying to run a 5k to discuss digestive health? and it'll have a sweet british accent, and it can also have sweet conversations with you. TV promised us so much, a KITT for everyone, and a flying car in every garage. Damn you jetsons and Knight Rider for ruining the future :(

Double Word. And I get that Charlotte is mad, but geez, for all Emily knows her father was killed, and she is supposed to be expected to forgive, forget and move on. Charlotte was done wrong, I get it, but everyone involved has apologized and kissed her ass, how much longer is she going to carry on her revenge plot for being fake kidnapped? I mean, I would get this level of destruction and self destruction if someone had actually cut off her ear, but damn. ....and the hunter becomes the hunted....huzzah!

Ha ha, I would probably get arrested for crimes against people with vision if I tried to go out in anything he makes. But, I would just want to know his "girl" if that makes any sense. Like all of the designers always refer to how their "girl" is someone they want to have lunch with, or know, or befriend. Seth Aarons "girl" is probably one of the few girls that I would just want to watch and get to know. And his girl really doesn't need an explanation, like I don't need to be told that she is on a flight from Peru to photograph the street scenes in Istambul or whatever story they came up with. Yes! It does have that post punk/new wave feel to it, but it doesn't feel like a costume, or like she was a refugee from a Flock of Seagulls concert.

That whole thing was just so strange. I mean seriously, this is probably Gideons first "official" drug arrest, so he probably has a relatively clean record, and he was carrying two small bags of cocaine or whatever with him. How much time do they think he is going to get in prison. With the right attorney probably a year or two max. I don't know how much cocaine you need for a trafficking conviction, but it seems like he had a very small amount in his bag. All that mystery, intrigue and machinations to put him away for under 5 years? Odd. And then Daniel acting like her soul is gone. She put her coke head brother in jail that was threatening to kill her, how is that so awful. I wonder if they hadn't wanted to have her kill Gideon (arrange a plane crash somehow) but then they backed out and just had her put him in jail. Charlotte is eye rolling for this very reason. She is ready to jump off a building because she blew $7k on cocaine, and found out her boyfriend thinks she is a moron? Ready to jump off of a building. Whatever. Yes, being kidnapped was awful, scary, very very bad. But you mean to tell me that someone just bared their entire soul to you and your response is to hit them over the head and set them on fire? As much as I love villains, Charlotte's life is too entitled for me to root for her. As for David Clarke I either hope this isn't really him, or that he has a plan. Because this "I loved you for 20 years in this cold dark hole!" is ridiculous when he could have been out there looking for his daughter after she cleared his name. As for Victoria, she just crossed from lovable villain to something else entirely. I love watching her and Emily trying to take each other down, evenly matched. But trying to get a man who has done nothing but love you to kill his own daughter that he is pining for is just on a whole different level. A man that you took down for selfish reasons. its just wrong

I know right? Ms. Mueller is such an awful bitch, but I can't help but like her. She does not give even two fucks, and I'm wondering if she set this whole "dinner" thing up to spring this surprise on "husband." In front of her daughter. Oh thank goodness, I was like "man, that poor kid saddled with those chompers!" But very good casting, his mannerisms were on point. Maybe she can convince "Doctor Cotton" that her crazy lives in one of her wisdom teeth that has to be removed anyways. He seems pretty committed to the evil living somewhere in the body and so he has to operate it out. I always wonder if people who worked in those asylums ever felt bad when they figured out that all of these things they did really didn't help the patient? Yea!!!! I hope it is, it would give him something to live for

I love his clothes. His "girl" is the girl I just like to look at, because she is just so interesting, rock n' roll, edgy and pretty. He never needs to tell me where his girl is going to, coming from, I know it has something to do with the Rolling Stones, or the rock scene in London. She might even be fronting a band. His "girl" fascinates me because she is my polar opposite, but her life looks like she lives it fast, and it might end early, or it might end in her writing a book about all her adventures.

Nina loved that long coat/vest that Korina made which seemed to have a southwestern influence. And if I remember what Nina said, it was that she would have expected Korina's use of the southwestern motif to evolve. The three to four times Korina has used a southwestern influence it seems pretty straight forward, she just uses a southwestern print/pattern or directly uses a southwestern theme (this is a thunderbird!). I like Nina, although her need to try to sound like some 20 year old hip fashionista is inauthentic and beneath her IMO. But, other designers have incorporated a theme into their looks without a direct reference. As much as I did not appreciate Sandaya's work, she was able to do that. She didn't directly use elements from her culture, but would somehow reference them in her looks. Like her first dress, it wasn't a sari, it didn't use the same fabric, cloth, cut of a sari, but in its color and its even the use of the flower pattern, I understood that she was indirectly referencing her culture. Korina's use of the theme was always more along the line of "here is a southwestern style pattern...on a skirt! on a vest! thunderbird!) I think thats the evolution Nina was looking for, by all means, use the southwestern theme/idea, use the Native American heritage you're passionate about, but let it evolve into something besides just sticking a southwestern print on things. Even some of Patricia's stuff, you would get a southwestern feel, but it wasn't as direct, and I didn't like Patricia's stuff either, but I remember her making that fringe dress thing, and some dress with roses on the front. Both had a very southwestern/Native American/Spanish feel to me, but they weren't so direct. And as far as Char's dress goes, it still looked clingy to me, so I think that Sean's input was probably relevant in that she ended up making the dress longer then she was intending to.

Welcome! I think this forum is fun, and I hope you will too. I'm happy to have as much snark as possible :) Some people have mentioned the model's shit talking. One part of me wants to say that she was just being loyal, and Korina was egging her on. The other part of me wants to say that she was doing it for camera time. The third part of me wants to say that since most of the models this year look like homeless men it seems strange for them to be talking shit at all.

Canadians have long commercials! But seriously, when the one cheerio started to move towards the other two cheerios......well just damn you General Mills for breaking into my cold, dark, stone of a heart

heh! macro-asshole. I'm stealing that, and using it when the opportunity arises.

It probably is. I guess I'm one of those types that in certain situations I get super heated and pissy, and then I'm just as fast to cool off. A good sleep, and the stress of the competition off my mind I think I would have seen the world in a whole new light. And I think, even at 28, I would have been in salvage mode. But then again, after I've had some time, and I cool off, I can see how poorly I've behaved. I'm not sure if thats where the disconnect is, maybe she felt like that was a well reasoned and appropriate response, and so there was nothing to salvage. Although even if she thought her reaction was fair, everyone elses response to her tirade should have told her that no one else really thought it was awesome. And she should have known, if she ever watched PR before in her life that they were gonna use that beautiful bean footage on the show. No one has gone quite that nuts in this season and they were getting towards the end. Hernan/Carrie vs. Shandaya was a mere blip by comparison. I've seen PR, they do always have a villain. They probably pre-cast a number of cast members hoping that one of them will do something nuts. I don't think anyone saw Ken's clothing and really thought he was doing big things for fashion, but they need a villain, and he was the sort who just might give them the big blow up they needed. With that in mind, even if I was still upset, knowing that they were going to use that footage, and seeing what an obvious producer set up it is having her work with Char, I would have thought she would have seen working with Char as the chance to 1) salvage her reputation and 2) piss off the producers by not giving them any more good footage of her acting poorly. And BTW production, I would have appreciated some cricket sound effects when Korina kept asking the room if anything thought she would be eliminated.
