make it work

I admit, I was surprised, but pleased. I thought Rami had it in the bag, especially since his collection was so "wearable" in the eyes of the judges. It's interesting that they decided to go with someone so fashion "forward," ahem. Plus, I suspect a big part of their decision was the fact that Christian needed the money the most. I mean, Rami already has a successful line, and Christian has nothing. So the money will be put to good use. I was kind of relieved Christian won just because I was afraid to see how CRUSHED he would be if he lost, poor little guy.

I liked all three collections, but wasn't madly in love with any of them. Jillian's pieces were nice but some of them I felt like I could buy them at Forever 21. Rami's style is not generally my own, but those evening gowns were spectacular. I think his white lace dress was my favorite piece of the night. Christian's was not wearable at all and that first outfit was too Wicked Witch of the West, but I liked that I could feel his "vision."

And can we talk about how one of Jillian's models was totally Jaslene from ANTM, and they kept making sure to cut away from her face? Hilarious.

My favorite part was Tim's group hug. AWWWW. I will miss him until he is back on my TV.

So, good ending, I thought. Yay.



Again with the underwhelming song choices. And I just realized I forgot to vote! Ooops. I don't know that anyone really blew me away tonight, but I enjoyed Carly and Syesha a lot even though I questioned their song choices. I wanted to like Brooke's Benetar more than I did. Amanda was fun but the Joan Jett was just so predictable. I agree with Simon that Kristy Lee is quite forgettable, in fact when she first popped up on screen I was like who the heck is that? I adore Kady but it's probably time for her to go. And wow, what was everyone smoking tonight, and can I have some?

By the way, Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" is the #4 song on iTunes right now, which is pretty interesting. Oh, Idol. The power you wield.

Not much to say about ANTM. Tyra is not half the makeover queen she thinks she is. I seriously question some of those choices.

Lost cast interviews Damon & Carlton. Thanks to corellianjedi for the link.

oeilade shared this awesome YouTube vid of the Star Wars title credits as if imagined by Saul Bass. Seriously cool.

I'm glad to see that David and Gillian seem to be liking each other again, although considering some awesome episodes were done while they were hating each other, maybe I shouldn't be so glad about that. Okay, never mind.

Is being shy an illness? I confess, a lot of this article resonated with me, though to a lesser degree than the people depicted.

I want to marry the person who wrote this NYT editorial about the presidential race. Sums it all up for me, PERIOD. "And it means that there is still a chance to take this campaign and elevate it, finally, to a serious debate about major issues. That is what American voters deserve. And that is what Democrats must do if they hope to break the Republican grip on the White House." YES. THANK YOU.

And in a truly brilliant post, fox1013 compares the Democractic candidates to Joss Whedon TV series.

National Geographic Channel has a new special called Aftermath: Population Zero. I think it's so funny how the world without us is the new big thing. And check out the website if you want to see the Statue of Liberty's head fall off her shoulders. WTF.

While work is still insane, today's XF spoiler pics and Doctor Who spoiler pics made me happy. Thank goodness for entertainment.

Aww, there's a whole new generation of young folks who have just now discovered "Hallelujah," having missed that period of time where it was used in an emotional montage on every other television show. :)

(Jaaaaaaames!)

YOU KNOW IT, BABY

Heh. I was just thinking, earlier tonight, that the Democratic campaign is becoming/has become my new fandom...and it's way more stressful than my usual fandoms.

thanks!

you always share the best links in your LJ posts!

Okay, that National Geographic thing was both creepy and really cool. My big question is: where did we all go? Was it The Rapture, and Jesus just decided to take everyone, just for the hell of it? Other than that, I can't figure out why planes would still be flying around up there, with no humans on board or behind the wheel.

And I couldn't watch the bit about pets. :-( It got less creepy and more cool, the more time that went on.

Anyway. I'm guess I'm glad I don't get that channel. I'd be fascinated but more and more creeped out and would probably have nightmares. Ha ha.

With Amanda, I think everything she picks is going to be predictable, just because I think she has such a small niche. She can do Janis, and she can do ... people who are like Janis. I adore Carly, but she hasn't blown me away yet, and I honestly couldn't give a crap about the rest. Which is disappointing.

*wanders in*

I think Christian has the potential to be one of those names that one only ever hears in answer to the question "Who are you wearing?" but I don't think he'll ever translate much beyond that. Which I'm sure would thrill him. ;-)

Rami and Jillian are much more likely to create something wearable and retail accessible. Tim was right though, this was the best finale so far and how cute was he giving his last 'gather round'. *squishes*

Also, I'm going to friend you now cause Em and kiss_me_cassie are always linking this way and you have some fabulous stuff. :D

Ha! Yeah, I read something where he said that apparently Victoria Beckham was considering buying his entire runway collection.

And welcome! Am going to friend you back. :)

apparently Victoria Beckham was considering buying his entire runway collection.

That doesn't surprise me at all. She's his target customer really and she seemed impressed at the time. That feathered final look was pretty amazing.

I watched a Project Runway marathon at my sister's house last weekend. I'm glad that squirrelly little guy won.

[pennilesspoet17.livejournal.com]

I was actually not at all surprised that Christian won. I think Posh was the deciding factor there.

ITA, I was not in love with any one collection, but I loved elements of each - my favorite pieces were Rami's evening gowns.

I am pretty sure I am the only person ever who prefers Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah, but whatever. Heh.

AI was a snore last night. The girls are dull, and yeah, I think it does have to do with song choice. I was like, really? Another Whitney song? Are you trying to get eliminated? Ugh.

[bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com]

Okay, that Gillian/David clip just made my night. SO CUTE! I'm a sap, so I'm glad to see they're friends again.

Actually, I really liked Chris's collection the best. Sigh. (They've had everyone's collection on the Bravo's website for weeks... probably since fashion week.)

I realizes halfway through the season finale that I really didn't care who won, which sort of made things less fun, but Tim made it worth it. He was just so sweet!
