Only a couple of more episodes to EVER appear on Bravo. It's so terrible I could cry. Suede followed the script that's been written for him and was sent packing this week, which was a surprise after seeing how much the judges disliked Kenley's outfit. But Kenley has impressed the judges much more than Suede, and she makes better TV! We can't wait to see more fireworks between her and the judges. It was a small field competing this week, so here are the tallies. Rachel and I both netted a perfect score of 30, and Andrea finished with 15 points. (These totals will be changed if this week's episode reveals that four designers do indeed go to fashion week). <b>MY PICKS:</b> This is a tough one, who goes home? The one with the bad attitude or the one who (I think) is the weakest designer. Kenley or Jerrell? Leanne could also be in trouble with several shaky weeks. And does Korto have enough of a voice to make it to the end? Would they really let it be an all-female finale? I think Jerrell is toast, and I think Leanne will take the win. But I think it will be very close! Only two picks this week, each worth 10 points. Our 10-point bonus question is: Will Leanne cry? The promos reveal everyone but her sobbing! I say no.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-72897855700311929402008-09-23T20:00:00.016-05:002008-09-23T20:43:50.042-05:00Fantasy league week eleven<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqlFH3cRXt7lfRrPIsufazskFu9NLY1fubxK8zgquwWaghhj7fl6IBWHiO4yjAqwxyTe0FR809b8wm8nmHd7a-RONt-3VDhakqRHdBMiQlYqPSAdNKqXgo01VrU4EsbkuZytExY2rxJSc/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqlFH3cRXt7lfRrPIsufazskFu9NLY1fubxK8zgquwWaghhj7fl6IBWHiO4yjAqwxyTe0FR809b8wm8nmHd7a-RONt-3VDhakqRHdBMiQlYqPSAdNKqXgo01VrU4EsbkuZytExY2rxJSc/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249387237959157986" /></a><b>WEEK TEN RESULTS:</b> We're over Kenley. She's definitely talented, but she knows it, which is the real problem. And she doesn't mind reminding people of that. Since we're getting near the end it's time to do a point tally so far this season, only a few more weeks to go! Rachel is in the lead with 175, with me coming in second with 165. Kate and Andrea are just a hair behind with 160 points each. Bringing up the rear are Dave with 70, Mariah with 65 and Brad with 25. <b>MY PICKS:</b> I think Suede is done. I think he's been done for awhile, but this week it's official. I also think Kenley will finish in the bottom two. I think it's Korto's time to win, and I think Jerrell, against my better judgment, will also finish in the top two. I'm still loving Leanne though, but I don't think this is her week. Bonus question of the week: Will it be a final four going to Bryant Park for the finals or will it be a final three? I say no, it will be a final three, but I think it will be a tough call for the judges.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-55917836350623507032008-09-09T11:21:00.005-05:002008-09-09T12:55:15.930-05:00Fantasy league week nine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yv2tN1jFu4E/SMajOt66dOI/AAAAAAAABsE/LtUkiXrDWts/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yv2tN1jFu4E/SMajOt66dOI/AAAAAAAABsE/LtUkiXrDWts/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244058289359713506" border="0" /></a><b>WEEK EIGHT RESULTS:</b> Three of the designers are definitely pulling ahead of the pack. My prediction is Leanne, Kenley and Korto in the final three. I definitely think Leanne is coming up strong, her dress this week was drop-dead gorgeous, very reminiscent of the coral Michael Kors dress Charlize Theron wore to the Academy Awards a few years ago, except better! Korto's dress was also stunning with the flash of yellow at the leg. It was not Stella's week though, our poor New York rocker was sent back to her boyfriend Ratbones. As for scoring, Kate took the lead with 30 points, but not too far behind were Andrea, Rachel S. and Dave with 25 points each. I followed with 20 and Mariah came in with 15. There's still plenty of time, though. <b>MY PICKS:</b> I'm so over Blake. I just want him to go away. His clothes are just weird. But I think he has another week left in him. How does he keep squeaking by? I think Jerrell's bad taste will finally be exposed, and I think Terri will fall flat as well, with the shocker being Terri going home! I'm going to pick Korto for the win, with Leanne also finishing in the top. As for our bonus question this week: Will any of the designers cry? I vote yes!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-40589741254213168452008-09-03T19:16:00.002-05:002008-09-03T19:18:45.994-05:00Hula and happiness<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1WSq-FF-MP4g3cmH3605yoa5lOKDmUTqL7293J8hGOUyBSG-B_wRR3qOrozVTChmq158MMDj9S58rI_A3-lPcx6lXuFlmLuQ-QlZuMOqDfgqejzQrJmnTsXSu-MibYYHenEMalXpjXGQ/s1600-h/maui.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1WSq-FF-MP4g3cmH3605yoa5lOKDmUTqL7293J8hGOUyBSG-B_wRR3qOrozVTChmq158MMDj9S58rI_A3-lPcx6lXuFlmLuQ-QlZuMOqDfgqejzQrJmnTsXSu-MibYYHenEMalXpjXGQ/s400/maui.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241953532955430866" /></a><b>WE'RE GETTING MAUIED:</b> It's a week of fun in the sun for me, so I'm taking a much-needed break.

Like no one could see that one coming. Leanne rocked what was one of the best challenges of the season with a beautiful dress straight off Gautier's runway. It was so beautiful. Korto also made a pretty coat from seatbelts, but we're glad Leanne took the win, she definitely deserved it. Is she the dark horse of the competition? Her creations always have an interesting architectural touch, and she's one of the nicest designers of the bunch. We did pretty well as a group last week, with Kate, Andrea and I netting 25 points, Rachel 20 and Mariah 15. <b>MY PICKS:</b> I really think, and hope, that Blayne is toast this week. The guy has a serious lack of taste. I'm also going to pick Joe for the bottoms two. The guy needs some camera time at some point, right? I think Kenley is going to impress Diane Von Furstenburg and take the win, and I think Terri will also finish in the top. As for our bonus question this week: Let's try it one last time, will Blayne mention his tanning? I'm going with yes, on his way out the door!Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-35581607610444375402008-08-26T19:57:00.003-05:002008-08-26T20:17:41.771-05:00Fantasy league week seven<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYutPNHPJ2XKGlzJnZ1aEC7tWxdssH-kt4MgCZbcmdfrSA2dxacc1Fej8oac6IKO0wjPJrP9enB2tdi9O2ZzJJqeeHCATuB564ZhCGzl5xbx55Y5JbtYwTVA0kRC_BKSqcrqpdl4PaGOk/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYutPNHPJ2XKGlzJnZ1aEC7tWxdssH-kt4MgCZbcmdfrSA2dxacc1Fej8oac6IKO0wjPJrP9enB2tdi9O2ZzJJqeeHCATuB564ZhCGzl5xbx55Y5JbtYwTVA0kRC_BKSqcrqpdl4PaGOk/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238996034096610690" /></a><b>WEEK SIX RESULTS:</b> It was a crazy challenge last week, and featured the greatest line every spoken in the show's history, when Tim Gunn told Blayne that his outfit looked like a pterodactyl in a gay Jurassic Park. Joe's outfit was pretty hot, and he deservedly one. Who doesn't love Ann-Margaret? But we have a bit of a bone to pick with the judges when it comes to the losers. Keith's outfit was a joke, much worse than the outfit Daniel created. But Daniel was inexplicably sent home, we imagine based on past failings. But at least he created an item of clothing that looked like more than a roll of a toilet paper my cat tore up. We didn't do much better than Keith with our picks this week, Andrea finished with 15, Kate, Rachel and I with 10, and Dave with 5. <b>MY PICKS:</b>I think the fat lady has sung for Keith this week, I'm predicting he'll be aufed. I think Blayne will also join him in the bottom two, isn't anyone else sick of him yet? I think it's time for Kenley to finish on top again, and I think Suede will be a runner-up for the win. For our bonus question this week: Will Michael Kors call something too mother-of-the-bride in a flashback to last season? I say no, but it would be so awesome if he did!Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-17762555963502108822008-08-19T21:09:00.012-05:002008-08-19T21:33:35.111-05:00Fantasy League week six<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNaT77h3ZEXfscjEC7fomdQBkEBt7lpk1aVwsRfRZwDD49zP4hJzgkN_Idga6g3sUbqLgeBNhwvNec49c_FZ9WakUOYy1GCBYbP8D5gTVk6BCGmP06EwH4MOWD9_E3qSlzga_HZYuijK4/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNaT77h3ZEXfscjEC7fomdQBkEBt7lpk1aVwsRfRZwDD49zP4hJzgkN_Idga6g3sUbqLgeBNhwvNec49c_FZ9WakUOYy1GCBYbP8D5gTVk6BCGmP06EwH4MOWD9_E3qSlzga_HZYuijK4/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236416853740808482" /></a><b>WEEK FIVE RESULTS:</b> I think Kenley is a force to be reckoned with, no doubt. The judges seem to love her, and she racked up another win this week with her joint effort with Keith. The skirt/blouse combo they made for Brooke Shields was totally wearable, and very cute. I'd love to wear it, and there are few outfits from the show I can say that about. Also finishing near the top were Jerrell (shudder) and Stella, who created a cute silhouette, albeit with tacky fabrics. Kelli was justifiably ousted for a hideous Betty Boop-gone-bad suit. Almost everyone pretty much nailed many of their picks this week, with Kate and Rachel finishing on top with 25 points apiece. I was not far behind with 20 points, Mariah and Andrea netted 15, and David got 5. As we approach the halfway point of the season, here's where everyone stands: Kate, 65; Me, 75; Rachel, 80; Brad, 25; David, 30; Andrea, 65; Mariah, 35. It's still anyone's game! <b>MY PICKS:</b> Blayne is toast this week. I definitely think he's going home, and not a week too soon. In the bottom with him is going to be Daniel, who the judges really seem to hate. As for the winner, I'm going to go with Suede, he of the annoying habit of referring to himself in the third person. I wouldn't want to hang out with him, but I'd wear what he made me. I'm also going to go with Korto finishing in the top. As for our bonus question this week: Will Blayne refer to his tanning? I say yes, after he's kicked out he's going to say at least he can go tan now!Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-32271761646077127412008-08-12T18:42:00.005-05:002008-08-12T18:59:57.953-05:00Fantasy league week five<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCrs5zrlMKdWjrYrjGFdevUMqd6UFBu8GnEgtQpQl8H4IGuT7O4YzgQP8THvL1mXlYgnMbTXLqcoLj7St0k_XhJWHuT2T4hiNFSdQTSQy6xxUhZtDZ_lfyXNWUIWW3Vv-rlVI7-ChEuiQ/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCrs5zrlMKdWjrYrjGFdevUMqd6UFBu8GnEgtQpQl8H4IGuT7O4YzgQP8THvL1mXlYgnMbTXLqcoLj7St0k_XhJWHuT2T4hiNFSdQTSQy6xxUhZtDZ_lfyXNWUIWW3Vv-rlVI7-ChEuiQ/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233781235590041858" /></a><b>WEEK FOUR RESULTS:</b> Well, I may not always be right, but when I am, I am soooo right. Jerrell confirmed my justification in hating him last week with his Little Bo Peep interpretation of an outfit suited for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. It was really beyond words. I have no idea what he was thinking. But he was saved by Jennifer's prim sweater set. Have these people never seen a sporting event before? Most of them really crashed and burned, with Terri, Korto and Joe being the exceptions to the rule. It was a small field of players this week, Andrea, Rachel and I all netted 20 points (holla!), and Kate was just behind with 15. <b>MY PICKS:</b> I'm gunning for Blayne, Stella and my man Jerrell to go home, however I think Jerrell will be spared once more, with the other two being in the bottom two. I think Blayne will be going home. I think Kelli and Kenley will be in the top two, with Kenley claiming the win once more. As for the bonus question this week: Let's go with, will someone cry? I say yes, there will be tears!Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-23918573193635875032008-08-12T17:26:00.001-05:002008-08-12T17:26:36.442-05:00Don't stop decorating<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgriKK4aF7n4cPRCQ1FCRdpRYKM09RIztE503qtB2iRzRoWCo0KRMlH-vDKZfTi4F1NjYyAMBYQb8NBQAukBHnCfblDrIGlnSlBDh-hiQvovaSJ5VVwuRvkEWQM7HF8SEsy8JxiCQHX5Go/s1600-h/fleetwoodmac.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgriKK4aF7n4cPRCQ1FCRdpRYKM09RIztE503qtB2iRzRoWCo0KRMlH-vDKZfTi4F1NjYyAMBYQb8NBQAukBHnCfblDrIGlnSlBDh-hiQvovaSJ5VVwuRvkEWQM7HF8SEsy8JxiCQHX5Go/s400/fleetwoodmac.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233758008461821666" /></a><b>STYLING WONDERS:</b> I'm in the middle of decorating my bedroom right now, and I've been inspired by '70s style, think "Three's Company" and Mrs. Roper. Or, a better way to put that, is Fleetwood Mac. I've gone with a wicker chair and plush white rugs for my bedroom, much like those seen here, and I've added a mix of textiles to add depth to the room. Working off this old band photo, I chose black and white graphic pillows, similar to Christie McVie's blouse, to contrast with the white rugs in the room. The World Market iron wall hanging, above, keeps with the natural vibe of the wicker and wool. Last but not least, yurdan.com sells beautiful Uzbeki suzanis that make great bed coverings or wall hangings. They add a bohemian vibe to the room while still keeping things pretty. If you're scared to go too '70s, you can forego the wicker for wood, but try to stick with natural furniture to keep an organic feeling.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-85386023628898076992008-08-05T17:43:00.009-05:002008-08-05T18:42:24.758-05:00Fantasy League week four<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQIGjkXdIGJYcFIp0KecJMgl4gpo1KojtvjAu6gm2vG_xjRPx4h5pJoLHzsSgMIuOVWFR0pUUPC1SP1tAw93B5jGj_2epLC235-Q-VuMQNtS7P45jSV6JzfraR7mVt9AWGWcjnuo1y_Aw/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQIGjkXdIGJYcFIp0KecJMgl4gpo1KojtvjAu6gm2vG_xjRPx4h5pJoLHzsSgMIuOVWFR0pUUPC1SP1tAw93B5jGj_2epLC235-Q-VuMQNtS7P45jSV6JzfraR7mVt9AWGWcjnuo1y_Aw/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231168129089473954" /></a><b>WEEK THREE RESULTS:</b> Most of the designers really disappointed in last week's challenge. Just think back to Jay's Chrysler building dress, it was so much better than everything produced last week! Kenley's dress was creative, and Leanne's was classy, but nothing was mind-blowing. We were sad to see Emily go, because she seemed so nice, but her dress was definitively uninspired. As for the scores, Rachel and Brad rocked it with 25 points each, with Andrea, Mariah and David coming in a close second with 20 points. I finished with 15 and Kate finished with 10. As for the totals, Rachel and I are tied for first with 35 points, with David, Brad and Kate tied for second with 25 points each. Right behind them are Andrea and Mariah with 20 points. <b>MY PICKS:</b> I think Blayne might be in trouble. The guy has more than a few screws loose and his clothes aren't appealing at all. So I'm picking him to go home. I also think Stella will be in the bottom, the judges are going to want to see something different from her. Unfortunately I think Jerrell is safe for one more week, he's my least favorite at this point. As for the top, I'm going to pick Korto to win. Her jumpsuit was my favorite outfit last week. I also think Keith will finish in the top, as I totally loved his newspaper dress, despite the judges complaints! Our bonus question this week: Will Tim say holla? I'm going with yes!Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-83538388028287468742008-08-05T17:39:00.002-05:002008-08-05T17:42:54.076-05:00Scent of a woman<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI47_uHy_JvpJDIegim7DOuhmqVyKCB9aGRQHSmcuDNO1HEbk8R3x5rGS4uyo1qdbKg-1ZFzCVbu8OXvZMiA_fBia_SSk-rHCX0W5LBL93kHjNjKQ2h3CUfwSFmLmQryU6idCFdmzgWZI/s1600-h/perfume.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI47_uHy_JvpJDIegim7DOuhmqVyKCB9aGRQHSmcuDNO1HEbk8R3x5rGS4uyo1qdbKg-1ZFzCVbu8OXvZMiA_fBia_SSk-rHCX0W5LBL93kHjNjKQ2h3CUfwSFmLmQryU6idCFdmzgWZI/s200/perfume.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231167126805762194" /></a>I'm a sucker for perfume. I can't leave the house without it or else I feel naked. But my needs are very specific, not just any perfume will do. It has to smell like something naturally occurring in nature, and it can't be too strong. These don't sound like tough standards, but you'd be surprised. It's very hard to find a scent that doesn't seem synthetic. That's why i'm in love with Marc Jacobs' new perfumes that come in three scents: grapefruit, basil and pear. And being three of my favorite scents ever, I can't resist. The heart goes where the nose knows.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-58487864023554929582008-07-29T17:39:00.003-05:002008-07-29T17:49:57.760-05:00Fantasy league week three<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLlfOJvl1it5-t14yE-j4al3uwoMsninQfnBS3bPBPmAYZZLgG2JPi1Dod3PXcbmWQdC7DMoyjRVkezljf0kmj2kHwZB6JJW0zeUOjpU9S4XycvpTHCACCTx-9UWC7KO48kJOaRZXCkgA/s1600-h/runway2weektwo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLlfOJvl1it5-t14yE-j4al3uwoMsninQfnBS3bPBPmAYZZLgG2JPi1Dod3PXcbmWQdC7DMoyjRVkezljf0kmj2kHwZB6JJW0zeUOjpU9S4XycvpTHCACCTx-9UWC7KO48kJOaRZXCkgA/s400/runway2weektwo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228569586207659826" /></a><b>WEEK TWO RESULTS</b>: 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. <b>MY PICKS:</b> 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.

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.

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? <b>MY PICKS:</b> 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.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-76731780983132374362008-07-22T18:41:00.002-05:002008-07-22T18:44:04.643-05:00Bikinis or bust<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBZYlk6HiLgBGMjXhB8heY_VxaBQq9eDlvCMzJ6CPjZxB6TVQed-qcsNN1WxjIuv2jWZ508UouHdyWcuXx7wJYvkeeOWf1DRo7miDzA8CTZbCjwLPimaBYAT5e-eBc3aFc7VXimW57Klu/s1600-h/ashelypaige.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglBZYlk6HiLgBGMjXhB8heY_VxaBQq9eDlvCMzJ6CPjZxB6TVQed-qcsNN1WxjIuv2jWZ508UouHdyWcuXx7wJYvkeeOWf1DRo7miDzA8CTZbCjwLPimaBYAT5e-eBc3aFc7VXimW57Klu/s320/ashelypaige.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225986499621209506" /></a>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.

<b>IT'S BACK:</b> 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. <b>MY PICKS:</b> 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.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-5488933398489655652008-06-30T21:49:00.000-05:002008-06-30T21:50:03.170-05:00She's more than Johnny Depp's girlfriend<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjpz7eNUAtTqgTStJ89dT8AgbEjCeuugsBittzKRwfqHpffIqGAc7R8MwO1-rsBKH8ntU-uuP0BZbuaUqj_bB7TTbuc0vP8MmP5ztlLaDw5VkuLIp3r7WghoafF0h-79k3auXjt-CKEre/s1600-h/girlonthebridge.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLjpz7eNUAtTqgTStJ89dT8AgbEjCeuugsBittzKRwfqHpffIqGAc7R8MwO1-rsBKH8ntU-uuP0BZbuaUqj_bB7TTbuc0vP8MmP5ztlLaDw5VkuLIp3r7WghoafF0h-79k3auXjt-CKEre/s400/girlonthebridge.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217865398675090658" /></a><b>GIRL, INTERRUPTED:</b> I've been trying to watch the movie "Cache," starring Daniel Auteuil for a couple of weeks, but keep falling asleep. That was definitely not the case with his film "Girl on the Bridge," which is also one of my all-time favorite movies. Also starring Vanessa Paradis, the film is about two down-on-their-luck souls whose chance meeting turns their lives around. Auteuil plays a knife-thrower, and Paradis his target. The two meet when she's about to throw herself off the Pont Neuf in Paris, at which point Auteuil offers her a job as his target, as he hasn't been an accurate shot lately. With killer songs by Marianne Faithfull, Auteiul is the only thing that misses in this French flick.Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-72433237031924286012008-06-03T21:41:00.001-05:002008-06-03T21:41:42.477-05:00No Mexicali Blues here<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfdLOhZmtA4jb5H8Ghv6msmaJwyEh7ROPcvDzLNucktHDbykAFVOnAxVuFucmyzO31rLsuVPE520iJnPL1QAVlritu-DBFO1MJHaAiRUz3w8lWGzAUD5uysXqonVdw1caeZBXMAO13is/s1600-h/islamujeres.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWfdLOhZmtA4jb5H8Ghv6msmaJwyEh7ROPcvDzLNucktHDbykAFVOnAxVuFucmyzO31rLsuVPE520iJnPL1QAVlritu-DBFO1MJHaAiRUz3w8lWGzAUD5uysXqonVdw1caeZBXMAO13is/s400/islamujeres.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207443435607771378" /></a><b>ENDLESS SUMMER:</b> I know, another trip!

She wore her famous blonde locks long and, for the most part, stick straight, parted down the middle. It was cool at first, but we thought a new look would do her good. And voila! With the release of "Iron Man," which was undeniably awesome, the fashion plate has returned with newly shorn locks. Her hair hits just above her shoulders, and looks great worn wavy.

There were a lot of bad moments, for sure, think platforms for men and hot pants. But the evolution of the late '60s hippie look was a success with natural hair, denim and peasant blouses. And the early '70s were a great time for singer-songwriters, especially women like Carly Simon, Carole King and Joni Mitchell. A recent issue of "Vanity Fair" featured a lengthy article on the three groundbreaking singers, as excerpted from a recent book. With spring finally here it's a perfect time to take fashion inspiration from that time. Think maxi-dresses, floral prints and moccasin boots. And what with jacked-up gas prices and an unpopular war, it's almost like we're really back there!Shine A Light Yogahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13790721223938289548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138632223185105759.post-29528895572414351812008-04-02T00:06:00.003-05:002008-04-02T00:17:44.076-05:00What dreams may come<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit3pl9psBMn1-raavNG1ETjwpaTO_eooBXBNdanIl4E0dj4rnEx2yTOLYQn_PVM5a6qwojkhorLc4-i51Wqerg3o9BkTnUJzzpGW9x1wghO86xgvLZ8rNGKqF2ogJYlFLGS5HQMA0XcoA/s1600-h/untiltheend.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit3pl9psBMn1-raavNG1ETjwpaTO_eooBXBNdanIl4E0dj4rnEx2yTOLYQn_PVM5a6qwojkhorLc4-i51Wqerg3o9BkTnUJzzpGW9x1wghO86xgvLZ8rNGKqF2ogJYlFLGS5HQMA0XcoA/s200/untiltheend.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184510244174065298" /></a>One of my favorite movies ever is the early '90s flick "Until the End of the World." Directed by Wim Wenders and starring William Hurt and Sam Neill, the movie is a worldwide trek that ends in the Australian Outback with an invention that allows people to watch their own dreams, which is dangerously intoxicating for all involved. It's such a beautiful film words don't do it justice. Also brilliant is the soundtrack, which is one of the Top 10 film soundtracks ever. Check it out for great R.E.M and Talking Heads, and for the standout title track by U2. The best track though is Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "I Love You Until the End of the World."
