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.

Oh, I agree it looked grown up; it's just that ...well, given what some of the eleven year old girls wore to my kid's FIFTH GRADE graduation (evening wear, makeup, hair and nails done...) a few years ago, and what I see around town during prom season, I don't think there is actually all that much of a line any more between prom dress and adult probably short but formalish dress, you know?

(and yes, I was totally horrified by the fifth graders; I believe some of them probably spent more time at the stylist for that event than I have, in sum, in my life. Thankfully, for the second kid's event the school had wised up and actually said NOT to wear that sort of thing because WHAT?)

And yes, I thought Sweet P was robbed too, because she took a request she couldn't live with (ivory) and fooled with it just an ooch to make it something she was okay with and so was her girl, and her dress was way prettier for a regular person anyway. But also, I just don't want Victorya to have immunity, and have nearly been actively rooting for her to get booted (which is a bit out of character for me) since the team thing in which she passive-aggressived all over the place and forced people into untenable positions for which they got held responsible. Ick.

I'm so out of the loop. I finished high school in 1981.

Why would parents want their kids to grow up that fast?
