And that pretty much sums up how I feel about the losing dress, too. But Christian said it so much better than me.
Have I mentioned how much I love Project Runway? No? Well, I adore it. And there is always one designer that I just seem to get emotionally involved with. Santino last season, and this season it's Christian. LOVE HIM.
But really, the dresses were kind of meh. I didn't see any that I would have wanted to wear, but then again, I'm not 17 and going to prom. I think Victorya's dress was lovely, but not a flattering cut for me. Love the color, though - it's my current favorite.
And Sweet P's dress had a fabulous cut, and the champagne color was beautiful, although I'm more of a fan of the brights.
And the losing dress was just such a disappointment, because I usually love all of Kevin's designs. He's done such a great job up until now, I just don't know what happened! This is just horrific!
Ugh. Just awful. I'm so sad that Kevin is gone. But an honorable mention for Chris - I love the design and cut of his gown, although the green is just...I'm not sure. Plus, he makes really bad jokes, which is just up my alley.
As always, Michael Kors was deliciously bitchy, and Nina was just bitchy. Love them. But would someone tell Michael that the spray tan needs to be turned down a bit?
I Think Prom is Horrible, Tacky, and Gross.
The Tudors
I love The Tudors. And Season 2 is starting up March 31. Until then, I leave you with this goodness:

My Current Obsession
Is nothing related to beauty or fashion, but is very much pop culture! I can't stop talking about this show. Seriously, it's some of the best television I have seen in a long time. I adore historical drama, and this period in history is one of my favorites. I doubt there is anything in modern times than can rival the pure deliciousness of the drama of King Henry VIII. Britney, Paris, Lindsay, and all the modern eye candy have nothing on the royalty of the Tudor dynasty, and this Showtime series brings it to life in a way that modern people can understand. Stripping away the older English dialect certainly helps, as well as showing us the more human side of these amazing people. Written by the same author as "Elizabeth" with Cate Blanchett, he brings us the Tudors in all their royal, and personal glory.
It isn't for the faint at heart, though, or for children. It was a violent time, and Henry certainly had some questionable ethics in dealing with women. The sex scenes are fantastic, and let's face it - Johnathan Rhys Meyers is just hot. Natalie Dormer, who plays Anne Boleyn brings a depth to the character that you don't normally see in film adaptations of the period.
So, if you're interested in some incredible historical drama now that Rome is off the air for the season, give The Tudors a watch. You'll be glad you did.
Added to my wishlist
Without a lot of fanfare, or if there was and I completely missed it, Tim Gunn released his book "A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style." I found out about it from another blog (that I should give credit to, but I can't remember which one it was!), and it is available at Amazon.
At any rate, the reviews look good. I wasn't able to find reviews anywhere else, but regardless, this one will shortly be gracing my bookshelf.
In other Tim Gunn news, he is hosting his own reality show on Bravo starting July 1, 2007, according to tv.com. How absolutely delicious. I'm all over it.
