Fantasy league week seven

WEEK SIX RESULTS: 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. MY PICKS: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!

WEEK FIVE RESULTS: 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! MY PICKS: 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!

WEEK FOUR RESULTS: 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. MY PICKS: 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!

Don't stop decorating

STYLING WONDERS: 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.

WEEK THREE RESULTS: 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. MY PICKS: 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!

Scent of a woman

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.
