You don't get to be a bitch until you're legal, sweetheart.

Did I ever mention I didn't go to my prom? I didn't have a boyfriend at the time and I was feeling particularly antisocial, and my reaction to prom was, "Yeah, not so much." Take away the drinking and I had Chris's prom night. So, yeah, Christian being all snarky and jokingly saying, "This is the most important night of my life"? I have to laugh at that, because ... well.

I adored Chris in this episode, for the record. I just love how he reacted to the news that the girls had picked their designers according to their portfolios and his just being like, "Dude, what the hell is wrong with the girl who picked ME?" Heeeeeee. I love Chris's portfolio. It makes me happy just knowing it exists.

While I think Christian maybe shouldn't have been all, "She was really ... uh, outspoken," on the runway, I do think the judges were really harsh on him considering the way that girl was behaving. Honestly, she made me miss Morganza and that's saying something. Have I also mentioned that I really, really hate teenage girls? 'Cause that was definitely not helping me not want to reach through my TV screen and shake some sense into her. And I did think it was telling that no one was savoring that fact that Christian was suffering -- I do get the impression that while he's an annoying loudmouth, he's a harmless one and everyone knows it. I'm more bothered by Victorya's passive-aggresiveness and Ricky's constant weeping. (And can't you already see the vid from the reunion show coming a while away of every instance of Christian saying "ferosh" or "fierce" or "hot" or "star"?)

Victorya's was my favorite, though. Very pretty.

I'll miss Kevin. But not his prom picture, which is not helping with that resemblance to Joey Fatone and the constant feeling that I could swear I saw him in a boyband once.

Victorya thinks all women should look like models - tall and slender with no curves.

I just keep thinking to her saying that thing to Ricky about how, "I like things to be flat," during the trendsetter challenge. And ... what, seriously? Flat? Good luck with that.

I also keep thinking about her Bitten dress, which I made a point of looking for at the local Steve and Barry's. And that design could have looked really great on the runway, but on the rack it looked tacky and like maternity wear.

I think empire and babydoll style dresses are only flattering on certain body types and age groups. The rest of us? Look pregnant.

What? You do not find that every single woman you know is two-dimensional? *gasp*

Heh. Alas, no.

I want them to do another real-person challenge SO BADLY. I know why Steven was cut during the lost-weight challenge, but oh, damn, was Victorya's dress hideous. I realize what she had to work with wasn't the best source in the world, but that was an awful velvet nightmare.

I simultaneously love and hate the real people challenges. I like that they're forcing the designers to think, but I really wish they didn't call the models out to the runway. Every time, you have a woman or a girl who is like, "I love this outfit!" and clearly feels awesome and sexy about her curvy, real-woman body in whatever has been made,

and then Michael or Nina says something like, "It looks a little boring" or "it's a little Julia Roberts in Pretty Women. When she was a hooker.." and Heidi chimes in with "I don't know, it just doesn't look EXPENSIVE"

and then you know the poor girl is standing there in this dress made especially for her that she just loved, going, "Wow, I look like a cheap, boring, whore."
