His movie riffs here and at pupuplatter are incredible... I have a feeling MrMead may have me outgunned in the Project Runway dish department! His movie riffs here and at pupuplatter are incredible…

But I can't resist letting you know that it's a delight to listen in as you and MrMead dish about Project Runway! Personally, I can't wait for the new season of Dancing with the Stars to get started. Fine Arts be damned!

Yes, I get what you're saying about Kenley's Portland vibe. In some ways, she's exchanged places with Leanne -- now she's fragile and quirky the way Leanne once was. I love how expressive Leanne's face is, especially when she rolls her eyes at something Kenley says! And I'm with you: Korto has been consistently top-drawer the whole show; hard to imagine her stumbling. I'm convinced they are keeping Blayne on board just for the laughs!

I'd be surprised if she ultimately wins (my money's on Korto), but I am impressed with her sleekly elegant designs. AND that Leanne is oh-so-Portland, only with an extra dash of sophistication. No thrift store chic for her! Actually, the contestant who seems most patently Portland (though she isn't) is Kenley -- do you see what I mean? By the way, the Top Design franchise debuted season 2 last night, and it's off to a very good start. Year 1 was a pathetic knock-off of analogous shows (its bye-bye tag was "see you later, decorator"), but now it's retooled to be as cooly arch as Top Chef. Man. What did I do for guilty pleasures before Bravo became queen of the reality shows? I too am a big fan of the Leanimal.
