I feel fantastic today. Yesterday, too. I don't know, I just feel
energetic and peppy and ready to take on the world.

Wednesday I felt awful. I got a typically inadequate amount of

Well, based on the 3 outfits we saw, I say Chris should have been picked. They were more interesting, and made me want to see the rest of his collection. Rami's just bored me. I think Chris was totally robbed. Ticks me off.
He keeps getting the "costumy" line.

Hello, and Christian's last outfit wasn't? Total costume. And he won with that fugly thing! But b/c he's young and cute and went to Europe and worked with Vivian Westwood, his costumy stuff is avante garde.
But b/c Chris is overweight and makes costumes and wears them, his costumy stuff is just too costumy. Pisses me off.
Total double standard.

But in general, I like Christian. He's a little troll, but a funny little troll. But I think Chris should have gone over Rami, if it was really based on the three looks the judges saw.

I might suspect a double standard if season 1 winner Jay McCarroll had not been almost exactly like Chris. Overweight, flamboyant, and possibly costumey, and it didn't hurt HIM. The diff might be that he was never a drag queen and an outright costume designer...but Kara Saun was, and she was able to make clothes that weren't costumey.

I got the "costumey" criticism of Chris's clothes but his three looks Wednesday were by far the least costumey clothes he'd put out, which was why the judges had such a hard time. But looking at the rest of Chris's collection, it's kind of blah, and Rami had some astounding pieces in his.

As the daughter of a tailor who worked in many high end stores (and had his own business) in the hey day of mens's suits, I can very comfortably say that that boy (Christian) has TALENT. Damm, he's good. He knows it, and is not afraid to let everyone know that, and that's probably why they're making him out to be the bad guy, but, I mean, ever since the weight loss challange, I was seriously impressed. Jillian is a good contender, and honestly, I didn't see wed. night's episode yet (had to work), but Christian has by far outshone everyone so far in my book. It'll be interesting to see what fianlly happens.

I have to say with Rami-vs-Chris I woulda picked Rami too. I liked Chris, but I thought Rami's clothes were better. And I totally had not thought about how he has gotten feedback from the judges when Christian and Jillian havent. Interesting.

I have to say I dont have a clear favourite. Christian is very talented, but some of his pieces, although really well made, I couldnt imagine anyone wearing in real life. And he kinda annoys me with all his arrogance. But Jillian can be really hit and miss. It will be interesting to see their full collections.

Also, the link to Chris's dress doesnt work...

On Idol, I think what bothers me about Carly is that they're pushing us so hard to like her. And they really don't have to, because she has a great voice. But I think she's going to be one of those contestants who, even if she has an off night, they'll praise to the skies anyway for fear of losing her.

Although, they're pushing little David Archuleta pretty hard too, but I just love him so much. I'm not sure what the difference is for me.

And I love Brooke too. Her song choice this week was just perfect.
