Fantasy league week three
WEEK TWO RESULTS: What is up with the judges? Once again I dispute their findings! Wesley did not make the worst dress! Korto's was by far the least attractive, as it seemed to be made for a fish. What was up with the gills? But they did pick right when it came to the winner, I hate to say. The loathsome Suede definitely rocked the challenge. As for the results, I nailed that someone would cry, but little else, which left me with 15 points. Kate and David finished with five points each, and Rachel had 10. MY PICKS: I have faith in Daniel, I think he's definitely got talent, so I'm going to pick him as my winner, and I'm going to go with Terri finishing in the top as well. She made a cute dress last time that got little praise. As for the bottom, I have a major bone to pick with Stella's fashion sense, so she's my pick. Although I'm targeting Jerell for the loss. That guy has made nothing that hasn't been hideous. Our bonus question this week will be: Does Tim repeat the phrase "hot mess"? Definitely the highlight of episode two. Though I'm going to go with no.

WHAT A PRETTY PUSSYCAT: I have a love affair with the '60s and '70s, as I'm sure most people my age do. Everything just seemed so much cooler back then, with the exception of mustard yellow kitchen appliances and fashion inspired by astronaut's wives. So it was with great excitement that I watched Woody Allen's "What's New Pussycat?", from 1965. The film starts slow and only picks up in the last 30 minutes, but it is a treasure of sixties style. From the Burt Bacharach-penned theme song sung by Tom Jones to the bevy of beautiful ladies outfitted in great get-ups, it's an aesthetic treat. Especially love the young Peter O'Toole and the always glamourous Capucine. Meow.

Fantasy league week two
WEEK ONE RESULTS: So, I have a bone to pick with the judges of my beloved "Project Runway." There is no way that Jerry deserved to be auf'd before Stella, she of the stitched-together garbage bags. So unfair! And we thought Joe's pasta skirt and top deserved to make the top two. My next mission is to figure out how I can be a judge! As for this week's results, it was a slow start, with Kate coming out on top by picking the winner. Kate netted 10 points, and I netted five, everyone else finished with zero, sorry to say. But to quote The Carpenters, we've only just begun. We'll play with the same rules as last week, but we'll add a bonus question this week worth 10 points: Will one of the designers cry? MY PICKS: So there are definitely a few designers who stood out week one. My picks for the top two are Daniel and Kenley, with Daniel winning. The bottom two will be Blayne and Suede, with Blayne going home. And I vote yes, someone will cry.

Bikinis or bust
TLC's new Friday night staple is yet another reality show about a C-list celebrity trying to make it big through the small screen. Ashley Paige is a mildly famous bikini designer who is struggling financially, trying to find a backer and, of course, a boyfriend. She's annoying, bitchy, opinionated and therefore, perfect for the medium. If you have nothing better to do it's worth a watch, but if not, definitely tune this one out.

Fantasy league week one
IT'S BACK: It's so sad that this is the last stand of "Project Runway" on Bravo. And the network has hardly previewed the new season at all, one can only assume it's their revenge on the series for picking up and leaving them for Lifetime. But their attempts to bury this summer season have failed, as we get set to launch our second fantasy league. Round one will be different from the other rounds, as we'll start with just a couple of questions. The first is to pick two of the top designers. Each correct pick will be worth five points, with a bonus five going if you pick the winner correctly. The second will be to pick two of the bottom two designers, with each pick worth five points, with the exact pick of the loser being worth a bonus five. Please note, your picks must be among the final groups standing on stage in the bottom and top to be correct. MY PICKS: I think Wesley and Emily have the strongest resumes. But I think Wesley will emerge as the winner of week one. Blayne and Keith seem to be the weakest, but I think Keith will be sent home first.
