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.

I thought the judges were appalling last night...and wasn't entirely sure what they were looking for. It felt like they wanted 17 year old girls to be something between cute and slutty with a healthy helping of glitz...I don't know. Just felt like Nina being completely intimidated by young women being beautiful or glamorous and not wearing magenta.

Which isn't to say I didn't like the brighter dresses: I appreciated Kit and Victoryas dresses - I thought they were creative and pretty. But as someone who's only four years -ish past my own prom, I thought Sweet Pea and Rami's dresses were the standouts. I felt like Sweet Pea was robbed, honestly - although maybe it's my violent hatred for Victorya's passive aggressiveness, but honestly I thought that SP's dress was amazing. I thought both were beautiful, curve-accentuating, and unusually glamorous -- not the usual strappy dresses with no shape that girls get for prom. I guess I want to feel like a star at a formal event, myself. When else are you going to? At the Oscars? Unlikely.

I guess my problem with the challenge was that if I hired a couture designer I would want a couture dress. Like Rami said, "everything I DO is sophisticated." Exactly. You don't hire a runway designer to get something you could buy from Cache or David's Bridal or BCBG.

Dunno. /surplus of opinion.
Also, Christian is adorable and that girl was criz-azy. He shouldn't have flubbed like that on the runway, but he's such a harmless queeny bitch and I want him and Kit to run away together and start a fantastic couture line.
