Well, welcome. The cliff's notes version of this place is: (1) Pretty Little Flower is a dude; (2) in real life, everyone here is not only smart, but hip, funny, and incredibly good-looking as well; and (3) Replaced Texan is looking for someone to buy her an engraved, gold-plated vibrator that is silent and waterproof.

Apropos of nothing, some things never change -- whether it's 2000 or 2005, people think that new visitors to FB Land are really penske.

Walgreens usually carries them.

(I know because I see them when I'm buying my regular sized condoms)

Not true. I welcome all newbers sincerely and assume they are legitimate.

Project Runway

Major spoilers below, if you aren't caught up and even if you are:

http://editorial.gettyimages.com/sou...gesSearchState|1|0|30|0|0|1|0|0|0|52062663|0|0|0|0|0||0|0|0|0&p=7

[Photos of the runway shows of the 3 finalists + the No. 1 runner up, who was thrown in to throw off the press as to last week's elimination.]

More spoilers, consisting entirely of my comments on the clothes in the link above:

Wendy's stuff is very Dillards, which is better than I expected but has no real place at fashion week. That said, her orange suit is actually pretty cool - I'd buy it. (At a 70% markdown at C21, at least.)

Jays stuff is pretty amazing, but isn't exactly geared to the "Banana Republic customer who thinks they're a fashionista because they bought a pair of Manolos" set the judging seems to be aiming for.

Kara Saun's is not as intellectually interesting as Jay's collection, but it is polished and probably more wearable (that red leather coat with the chinchilla is yummy). I can see why Jay's collection has apparently been the fav. of the actual fashion people, and Kara Saun is still the frontrunner to win and made the collection getting the raves from secondary market newspaper fashion editors. Were I to pick the best designer, based on this I'd go with Jay, but if I had to wear what I picked I'd have to go with Kara. Unless I quit my job, in which case I'd go with Jay. (Unless I had to wear it to work, in which case I'd probably go with Wendy, 'cause she's got a few more things that would pass office-fashion-police muster. Like I said: Dillards.)

Poor Austin - I wonder if they gave him time and/or resources to actually put together a real collection, 'cause I'd have expected better from him. I'd expect him to be costumey, but his stuff looks more schitzoid costumey. Maybe the called him in at the last minute, because, even if he couldn't win the PR contest I can't think he'd have flummoxed a chance to show like that. However, I love the red velvet pants and lace top combo.


eta: woo hoo! If you change the font color to "lavender" the type is actually invisible against the non-white background!

I'm willing to assume that Penske didn't just get a new computer.

OK, first thing is avatars. I think we should have a find-Spanky-an-avatar contest. Any special requests?

Rule #1 of FB: They are all men.
Rule #2 of FB: They are all Penske.
