Project Runway

It's Fashion Week so the "winners" of Project runway had their shows today. Strangely there were four shows instead of three. There's conflicting information about whether one person was eliminated or not (that would be Jay, not Wendy. --- WHAT?!!!) Honestly, how in the hell did Wendy make it to the final challenge? How did they allow her to design a collection. Someone on TWoP linked to images of stuff she has on her own website and -- gah! Hideous! Truly hideous stuff. How did she even make it into the competition? The only thing that most people can figure is that they kept her in for her "villain" aspects. Can't have a reality show without a villain. What good is it to go into the final three with the audience liking all three contestants? Or having a final three where all three contestants like one another, don't backstab, don't play mindgames, and genuinely try to do good work, so they have to add in Wendy who copies others designs, plays mindgames, and is in general very easy to dislike.

And, truthfully, after seeing the collections, Kara Saun really had better win. (I would love her white coat. And if I had a great body and was going to the Oscars, would love her white evening gown or the chocolate colored evening gown).

And links to the final 4 collections. Spoilers seem uncertain as to whether there actually was a "final three" and they simply added Jay in, or whether there actually were 4 people going into the final round.

Apparently someone uploaded a Jack/Jen fantasy sequence from DOOL. Is it me or does the newly SORASed Abby look like a doppleganger for Season 5 BtVS Dawn?

Crush Meme

Gacked from nutmeg3

List five fictional people - from television, movies, books, whatever - that
you had a crush on as a child (or early teens). Then post this on your
LiveJournal so other people can know what a dork you've always been.

1) The The characters in the Trixie Belden novels Had to say that I loved just about all of them. I was totally addicted to this mystery series as a child. Trixie as tomboy sleuth. Honey as her rich, pretty BFF. Jim who was clearly Trixie's permanent almost boyfriend. I also loved Dan the leather jacket clad kid from the wrong side of the tracks. I was never into Nancy Drew or even the Hardy Boys. But I loved Trixie and her gang.

2) I'm just going to copy nutmeg3's response here because it sums up what I felt as well. Alec Ramsay, from the Black Stallion books. It was really the Black I loved, but Alec seemed a reasonable way to get to him.

3) Jani and Adam from Madeline Brent's Merlin's Keep Jani was an orphan in Tibet. Adam was a British Soldier. Adventure someplace wholly exotic at the turn of the century. I really loved this book as a kid (and I got a truly odd spurt of glee from the BtVS ep "Fool for Love" when it was set in Shanghai during the Boxer Rebellion because I had such vivid memories of the way that the Boxer Rebellion was represented in another Madeline Brent novel Moonraker's Bride. In fact, finding that you can buy these as used novels on Amazon, I may have to buy them because I read them at the age of 12 or so and I had borrowed them from the Library. They seem to have good reviews on Amazon and I'd be interested to read them again to see if they match my memory. (And it appears that there are a few of the novels by the same author (who apparently was a man writing under the pseudonym "Madeline Brent")

4) The original (Dirk Benedict) Starbuck on the original Battlestar Gallactica.

5) Robert Scopio -- dashing, adventurous, Aussie Spy on General Hospital when I was a kid. (Also loved Duke the Scottish gangster on GH).
