Not so much missing as non-existent

<---------------

Please note we have a new section right thurr. Add a comment with a list of any links you'd like to see represented on our blog in a permanent capacity. It can be other blogs you think we would be interested in on a regular basis, your personal website, entertainment or hobby sites, etc.

Right now, J and I are the only ones with ADMIN POWER, so the list is pretty much up to our discretion. I'll try not to include too many Jason Statham links, but I can't make any promises. Of course, if anyone would like to be blessed with ADMIN POWER, you just let us know, and, if you need some template learnin', we could even show you how to add (and delete) links and change around font colors and such.

Poll of sorts: Which magazines do you (or would you) subscribe to?

Something is screwy.

Well at least my shoddy construction demonstrates I did all this work myself.

Welcome to frill_seekers 3.0, which will soon have its game face on. For now, let's just say someone's slip is showing, shall we?

Clichés aside, I hope to have the template refined by Project Runway time tomorrow.

Speaking of, or rather, awkwardly segue-ing to.... the fact that the Project Runway Season 3 finale is tomorrow night. Whether you do or do not follow the show, you may have noticed that Season 2 was a frequent topic here. My recent lack of chatter regarding Season 3 can be attributed to the fact of my changing jobs recently, but is probably more due to the fact that the show as a whole has become somewhat sucky. The editors or writers have chosen to focus more on drama, the judges have decided to focus more on what they call "taste", and thusly I have been forced to focus on the ginormous suckitude of this season.

But tomorrow night (or tonight, if you're sane and reading this on Wednesday), we find out who wins. And even that is fraught with contrived drama as last week there had been some talk of one final designer having had outside (illegal) help with his collection. Sturm und Drang und YAWN. I do not even care who wins, really. Well, I do, sort of. But not really. Well... no, they've made it impossible to care.

My favorite for spirit/personality, Michael, has already won the $10K prize for being the audience favorite. Huzzah! Judging by the work shown in the first part of the finale, it seems like his collection is maybe the worst of the group. Not so huzzah.

My least favorite personality, Jeffrey, seems to have the most exciting collection and could be a contender for the win... dunh dunh DUNH if he overcomes the cheating accusations and is still part of the competition.

Laura and Uli seem to have produced collections that are typical of their respective styles (flapper deluxe and boho deluxe) demonstrated throughout the season. That said, I am still really excited to see what they've made because I got to like each of them very much, personality and design-wise.

I really cannot call it, and I feel like I've been waiting for-freaking-ever because Fashion Week was an effing month ago and it was really really hard not to peek at the collection photos. Like... DAYUMN.

Anyway, here is a cool gallery with close-ups of all the creations from the season (and from past seasons too, if you click on "Project Runway"). There are also sections for each finalist's Fashion Week show, if you want a preview. Especially since we'll probably get 39 minutes of expertly hand-crafted dramality and maybe 4 minutes of actual design.

Something is screwy indeed, because I may care more about the Mets making it to the World Series. What a coup!

fabulousness, 18th-century style

I am excited to see this film. For several reasons, but perhaps mostly because of this last little bit of the review from the NYT:

“Marie Antoinette” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has glimmers of sexuality and brief glimpses of naked flesh amid all the fabulous clothes.

I inserted the bold-type right there :). Anyways. Just wanted to share my excitedness. I haven't seen The Departed yet, but these are the two films that are currently striking my fancy (that and The Prestige, which I don't know how to characterize yet). But I see these two films as being night and day to one and other, at least from the previews. One is from a celebrated male director featuring a mostly male cast and I can't really think of it without thinking of machismo and a bit of male-locker-room-smell (ew, sorry). The other one is from a celebrated female director, staring a woman, and when I think of it, I imagine cakes and cookies and hints of floral perfume wafting through the air. This is a very sterotyped division of the sexes, on my part, and I apologize for that. But I think Shonda Rhimes would be proud.

America's Next Top Model

I don't watch the show reguarly and I don't want to be down on a fellow brown girl, but I really don't think Anchal to be all that attractive...maybe it's because I feel like she's too skinny for an Indian gal! Guess I prefer my South Asian gals to be solid.
