"Nice buns"?
The question is, are there any puns that the Cute Overload commenters haven't beaten us to?
(I was gratified to see several people point out the grave error of having a red "ketchup" blob on the hot dog costume. Ketchup is okay on a highly spiced sausage, but a common wiener needs mustard.)
In Russian, a frankfurter-type sausage is known as a sosiska, but they have borrowed the term хот дог to describe a sosiska served po-amerikanski, in a soft bun with mustard.
Yech. Who can stand either common weiners or mustard?
Korean hot dog?
Gross! (But quite funny).
Holy crap. Very interesting night on my end, went out with a billionaires.
A female billionaire?
Which one? There's only about 400 of them you know :-D
If it was Mark Cuban, then I'm going to murder you to death out of jealousy.
You went out with a billionaires what?! A billionaires what?!
;-)
Eh, I guess he's in bed with the billionairess now :-) G'night RIPF.
Ashamed as I am to admit it, I took a break from my hard labor to read Project Runway blogs when I should have been in bed.
What in the world are Project Runway blogs?
Oh. By consulting what you people call "Google", I see that this is what you people call a "show" on what you people call "TV".
One of these days I'll have time to catch up with all the television that's being created in the world. In the meantime, I"ll keep watching South Park, Futurama reruns, Animal Cops reruns, and Alton.
Animal Cops is Law and Order for people who hate people and like animals better.
It's a competition show, kind of like American Idol or Survivor, but for fashion designers. And although I'd never watched it before (yet mocked it relentlessly), the last four episodes sucked me in.
There's this whole entire world of blogs that exist solely to recap the episodes and bitch.
But Animal Cops doesn't have Jerry Orbach.
I might usta like America's Next Top Model. While we're all sharing Shameful Confessions and Dark Secrets.
I got semi-addicted to Top Model back in Germany. But only one season.
Since I don't know who he is, I don't know what I'm missing :-)
When I lived in Jordan, I really loved watching L & O. It was one of my few links back to the US. They used to run it on the 8 hours a day English-language government channel. I think it was JTV2 or something like that. Mostly JTV was annoying government propaganda and news, but they did have one or two English-language shows.
OK, what about Celebrity Fit Club and The Surreal Life?
I got so angry at the PR judges for choosing Jeffrey, who made the ugliest freaking clothes.
My favorite was Laura. She showed a beautiful collection, clothes I would totally wear.
Ya know, in case you want to Google some more and wondered who my favorite was. Heh.
Jerry Orbach was the guy who played Detective Briscoe for like 12 seasons of L&O.
OK, what about Celebrity Fit Club and The Surreal Life?
Never seen either of those.
Good old JTV. Apparently their lineup has only gotten crappier since I left.
Nah, it's not as much fun when you don't actually watch the show :-)
Oh, Briscoe! Well why didn't you say so in the first place!
(I am simply terrible at knowing the names of actors. The only one I can confidently pick out of a lineup is Robert De Niro.)
Laura's clothes:
I'm depressed. RIP Ford was hanging out with fatcats and plutocrats all night, and I was working on code and shit.
Damn you RIP Ford!
Good lord, that last photo makes it look like her legs:torso ration is 4:1. Like an old man in Florida with his suspender pants pulled up to right underneath his bra.
And by "ration," I mean "ratio."
Jeffrey's rags:
That was the 'fashion icon' challenge. Her icon was Katharine Hepburn, a very classy broad.
Jeffrey #3 is the best.
Eww. Ewww!
I guess Katharine must have been extremely leggy.
I recall his obituary said he starred in the long running musical 'The Fantasticks' when it first started. Hard to picture him doing musicals, but I guess he did.
Eww. Ewww!
Well, it's not so much the clothes as the fact that her skin has color in it. The other ones all look goth. And Jeffrey #1 has a terrifying, cruel face, like some kind of white Genghis Khan. The red in #3's clothes, lips, and skin just works great for me. I don't care if the outfit is tasteless (which it is) :-)
He actually had a really successful stage career, then he played Baby's father in Dirty Dancing and a couple of years after that signed onto Law & Order.
Jeffrey #1's model's boobs aren't level.
Jeffrey's looks in # 2, 3 &4 are all the same model.
#4 Jeffrey has a fresh-faced honesty that's also very appealing.
I would rate them as follows, by ascending order of preference:
#3
#4
#2
#1
She was, plus she pioneered the whole pants-for-women thing back in the 40's. Also the pants have an extremely high waist, which adds to the illusion. And also, that model is very very tall and leggy already.
Oh wow.
Oh wow.
:-)
I can buy #3 and #4 being the same girl, but #2 looks so different.
I would rate them as follows, by ascending order of preference:
#3
#4
#2
#1
I meant descending, of course. #3's my fave, #1's my least-belikened.
There was an episode where Tim Gunn (their kind of mentor at Parsons) went to everybody's homes during their two months of preparing for Olympus Fashion Week, and Laura had some absolutely stunning pieces; a red gown with sparkles, and a velvet coat with a ruffled collar that I would kill somebody's grandma to own, and she didn't even show half the pieces that we saw during that home visit. She did use the green belt from the velvet coat on that silver gown though, when originally she had shown it with a red belt. She ended up taking all of the red out of her final 12 piece collection.
I meant descending, of course. #3's my fave, #1's my least-belikened.
And what do you think of Laura's clothes?
#3 is a bit bony for my tastes. Most fashion models are. I'm not really into white women, but Kate Winslet, well, I like a woman with a real figure.
I don't like Laura's #4/Hepburn so much. It just doesn't look natural. Her #1, #2, and #3 are attractive for the following reasons:
#1: curves and elegance
#2: vulnerability and cute knees
#3: sauciness and insouciance
The coveted green velvet coat:
It's floor length, and that floral pattern underneath is a gown, which I didn't much care for. But I adore that coat.
Laura's #1 and #3 are my favorites.
I love #3. I can't wear a dress that short because my legs are too stumpy and my knees are too chubby. But it's still gorgeous.
That is pretty nice. Blogger doesn't allow hotlinks so I had to manually load it though. I like the ruffles, and the bell-bottomey sleeves.
Is the pinstriped suit guy the designer?
Another problem with #3 is that you probably can't pull it off without having teeny tiny breasts. Anything larger would just be asking for accidents.
Another reason to hate Jeffrey: All of the contestants' moms or sisters showed up for one episode, and the designers had to pick another designer's mom to make an outfit for. Jeffrey made the mom cry, he was such an asshole, and he made the ugliest black sack. It was truly the most hideous thing I've ever seen. He didn't listen to his 'client' at all, and it was very poorly constructed.
Damn, what a prick!
That's Tim Gunn. He's a design educator and department head at Parsons.
Laura's model has insufficient body fat for breasts. She may even have insufficient body fat for regular menstruation. (I forget the exact number, somewhere below 10%, an evolutionary adaptation that basically assumes a woman with abnormally low body fat is living in famine conditions and shuts down reproduction. It happens to anorexics and some long distance runners).
That's Tim Gunn. He's a design educator and department head at Parsons.
I mostly like his stuff. I question his #1, and I also question the horizontal stripes on the lower part of his #2 outfit. They distract from the beauty of the model and make her billowing more interesting than her bodily shape.
I've heard about that.
Another problem with #3 is that you probably can't pull it off without having teeny tiny breasts. Anything larger would just be asking for accidents.
Well the clothes are custom fitted to the models. Laura makes all her own clothes for herself to wear, and she's got boobs, and she's pregnant. The model just doesn't have any boobs. If it was for a regular woman, it would probably be made with a larger bust allowance, like regular clothes.
The fabulous Laura herself:
Laura's awesome. She could use a little more meat on her bones, but she wears her good taste very well. That picture of her in #60 is scarily mannish, though. She has a little too much jaw. But I love her auburn hair! I wonder if it's real.
Her outfit is almost like a toga. I like the simplicity.

Are you talking about Jeffrey? That elegant pinstriped creature is not Jeffrey, that's Tim Gunn.
THIS hideous troll is Jeffrey
That's not shadows on his neck. That's an ugly ass tattoo.
Tim Gunn visits Laura at home. Go check out her absolutely SICK Manhattan apartment. It seriously makes me so jealous I want to puke. Except for the turtle poop.
I'm getting confused between all the different designers and models :-) I did think Gunn's designs were Jeffrey's.
The Project Rungay boys adore Laura as much as I do, and for that I adore them. Their blog is my favorite one.
J. Allard-do you see the resemblance?
A tattoo that can't be covered by clothing is so tacky. I have no idea why they have a show about a tattoo parlor in Miami on TV, but there is one tattoo 'artist', Kat Von D, who would be quite attractive except she has a tattoo on the side of her head.
I once saw a guy on my ship with a spiderweb tat on his neck, and all I could think was, "Dude, you'd better stay in the Navy, because your job options are extremely limited".
Tim Gunn doesn't design clothes, but he has produced some paintings and drawings, and I think I heard him mention sculpture as well.
Not to mention, he's got the best vocabulary of probably anybody on tv.
Wow, 171 comments on Laura's apartment. I guess a lot of people are watching this show.
Obviously I'm also sick with jealousy over her wall of shoes.
I don't really see a resemblance between J. Allard and Jeffrey. Is this Allard character a big asshole too? (Making the mom cry was by no means the only assholish thing he did, simply the assholiest)
I realize that I probably owe Trillian a sincere, heartfelt apology for panning her choices in television viewing. :o)
Sorry T!
He almost makes me wish I were a gay man, so that he might love me someday.
I don't know if J. Allard is an asshole, but I can't stand his stupid bald head and the stupid crap he wears, so I'm inclined to call him an asshole. I liked him better when he still represented the pudgy geek he really is :-) He's a Microsoft Vice President who used to be part of the XBox project and now he's working on the crappy Microsoft iPod ripoff they call "Zune". He just kind of looks like an idiot.
Another reason Laura is the Master of the Fucking Fashion Universe: She has five kids, is pregnant with the sixth, and went to the finals of PR and got to show at Fashion Week. Nobody else was knocked up during the competition.
Sorry T!
Heh.
I gotta go to bed, I'm whipped. I'm sick and I got up really early today and I've been working nonstop. G'night Stormi!
Wow! That's badass. She doesn't look like a mother at all.
Anybody ever watch the M-TV show that has 16 year old girls, almost always selfish and spoiled, having Sweet 16 parties thrown by their millionaire dad's. The girls often have mini-tantrums over some minor glitch, which is the best part. There is usually a 'Vette or Escalade given at the end. I've watched it two or three times now, not sure why, except everything else on TV was crap or reruns.
Also, that blue painting is not a Rothko. It's something her kid made with house paint and rollers.
I love Laura. If she asked me out I would totally go lez. She's fanfuckintabulous.
Back to bed as well, Edward came to bed (he isn't feeling well, all the kids have colds) and kind of displaced me. I'll sleep in his bed, as his sister is also now in our bed.
Night ev! I gotta go to bed too. Squadron picnic in like six hours. blah.
'Night Ed, Stormah.
Sorry T!
Indeed.
Bitterly planning to defend my honour by tying Stormi and ev, just because, to chairs and making them watch The Bachelor and The Apprentice until they cry. Which should take about 12 minutes, lately, they're so appalling. Da capo al fine!
Yummy, I smell pilots.
