It's like that time you let your friend give you a makeover, if you both were drunk and blind

Aspiring rock stars beware. When Rolling Stone comes a calling and offers you a cover, you may end up on a reality TV show sitting around in your underwear.

I think the hello-penis-omg-now-I-can't-look-away zipper is my favourite bit of this post.

Hello Penis, indeed.

[secritcrush]

It really is a special outfit.

I was so worried one of the ladies would go home for this ridiculous hot mess challenge...because I have grown to believe Oliver is a little sociopath. Go home with your fake English accent, sociopath!

[secritcrush]

What I don't understand is why everyone was so far off the rails - it's like there were secret instructions given. (I'd have been ok if Anya went home - I don't know why the judges keep throwing love her way, but they Kimberly and Laura should be in for the long haul.)

[bondgwendabond]

I must admit I have a soft spot for Anya, purely because I want all my years of choosing Trinidad & Tobago in Miss Universe to finally pay off.

BTW, isn't ANTM All Stars awesome? It's pure concentrated smize.

[secritcrush]

Not usually, no. (but much more so since it moved from Bravo to Lifetime.) This was some sort of mass hysteria of ugly.

Most of the time the design work is quite good and interesting (if you like that sort of thing.)

Also, new management this year. I think they're respobsible for insultingly obvious manipulation of the judging.

[secritcrush]

I hadn't heard about the new management, but that makes sense since the judging this season seems to be based on absolutely nothing and isn't even consistent.

Wow. The contrasting ass pockets or the penis zipper would have made it damn hard to walk through Berkeley in the 70's without giggling.

And I think the only person who ever wore that much fringe was Cher.

[secritcrush]

I wish that outfit had one (sadly the judges did not appreciate the pure WTF of it) as the band member had to be photographed for an ad in Marie Claire wearing it.

[msisolak]

I feel so sorry for all of those models. (At least they look like rock stars. Minus the outfits.)

Have you noticed Olivier flinching and covering his ears? It seemed a very auditory disorder/Asperger gesture, IMO. Coupled with his inability to deal with people, I wouldn't be surprised.

[barbarienne]

Yeah, the general consensus among many people is that Olivier has some sort of ASD. He seems to be entirely focused on creating perfect garments--not from ego, but because that's "how they should be"--and cannot handle any of the very ordinary variables that might require he deviate from routine. It's very Aspie.

[secritcrush]

No I hadn't (well the one time when there was loud music this episode). I had put his behavior down to increasing tiredness (as he gets worse as the season progresses) and him being a bit of a moaner generally, but what you say does make sense.
