This will be painful.
This will be ugly.
I hate that I have to do this, but someday you'll understand that I'm doing this for your own good, and you'll thank me.
All I'm saying is that there's a mighty fine line between sad and seductive.
Even if you can't bring yourself to admit it, these two women bear remarkable resemblance. As for the American Idol contestant, I have to offer three words of advice regarding support garments: "get some" and "please."
Actually, I'm nursing a theory that this is Scarlett made up in a fat get-up to research a role.
What do you think?
Spoiler alert! To recap what I said on Tuesday about Top Chef:
It looks as though something seriously nasty is going to happen on next week's
show. I'm betting Cliff lopped off some of Marcel's hair in his sleep, and then
to do penance and try not to be kicked off for being total 'tards, Cliff and
accomplice(s) will shave heads/ dye hair ridiculous colors, etc. I think it will
be ugly.
I wasn't far off the mark: In a drunken haze, Elia and Ilan decided to shave their heads after the semi-final challenge. Then in a Schlitz Malt-liquor fueled brainwave, Cliff decided they should lop off the locks of the slumbering Marcel. So Cliff grabbed Marcel and they grappled a bit. Cliff pinned Marcel to the floor, but no one stepped up to the plate and shaved Marcel's head, and Marcel finally freed himself from Cliff's grasp, Syndrome hair intact. Very awkward scene, especially as the whole thing served to make Marcel sympathetic despite his abounding asshattery - sheesh. Cliff was expelled from the competition for his big gay wrestling moves, and, just, wow. What can you say?
All things being equal, I ultimately prefer the competition in Project Runway, although I do think Top Chef is a great show. The nature of the work means that the designers in PR are able to function and create with more autonomy, whereas the very nature of kitchen work dictates there must be some collaborative projects. Working in close quarters doesn't make for happy bedfellows, I find. Oh, and I'm SO looking forward to not hearing the word "bro" again (Marcel's favorite), like, ever.

The nose is wrong. ;)
The eyes and mouth are remarkably similar, and I didn't think the noses were appreciably dissimilar.
Eeeef...
The top photo looks a LOT like my stepsister, except it appears that person is wearing makeup. I didn't think they let them leave the group home unsupervised.
Incubus I and his SO were in their room watching that trainwreck tonight and laughing. I guess I should have watched.

Rabbit.
rabbit - *L* Well, you should tell the group home that they should at least provide breast-brassieres for the gals before they go out in public. *shudder*
Nah, you didn't miss a WHOLE lot, and what I DID see was mostly painful - I had to forward through 3/4 of it.
Let me be the first to congratulate you and celebrate women exhibitionists, Phlegmmy. It's too bloody exciting to wait for you to announce. (Besides, I know you have the power to delete this and I don't mind if you do - I'll congratulate every day until you stop deleting!)
They pretty much had to boot Cliff. All contestants sign these huge contracts that bar them from doing things such as getting physical with other contestants in any way (in the case of PR that also includes having sex with other contestants). Even though everyone involved knew it was a prank and Marcel was hacked at the time but seemed over it the next day, the producers had to toss Cliff or open themselves up to someone punching someone else in the face and then saying they didn't mean to and citing Cliff as an example. I thought the hair shaving was hilarious. And, I have to say that I sort of like Marcel. Sure, he's a complete dork, but he's been the victim of alot of 8th grade bullying tactics which makes me sympathetic despite the fact that he obviously has no social skills whatsoever.
I don't understand the Idol shows - I must be missing a gene or something.
Didn't you get the memo, Phlegmmy? They have officially changed the word "bro" to "brah", thanks to that Dog the Bounty Hunter guy.
meg - I'll post it in a blog thing one of these days. I'm sure I'll be one of dozens, - small fish in big pond type of deal. Still, it's neat they want to include me. :)
liz - I guess that makes sense - it's a shame that Cliff went home over that, but I thought was the kiss of death for him anyway when the judges declared his dish "hotel food" -- he was going home this week no matter what. Marcel, he's just so weasely - I suspect he's been a real thorn in everyone's side when the cameras haven't been rolling, and then he acts all wide-eyed and innocent - I don't buy it. Plus that shitty poetry of his was a hanging offense, in my opinion. Cringe-worthy. Elia - SICK SICK SICK of that heifer - especially anyone who says things like "I queet!" Fine - quit! Take your ass on out of here. The bald thing was kooky, but it was something I could relate to and didn't disapprove of.
g bro - can you recommend a 12 step program?
barbara - you're better off out of them - it's ironic I find it entertaining because I pretty much soundly despise 21st century pop music. Unless it takes an Imogen Heap/Neko Case bent - in that event, I'd be all for it!
leazwell - *L* I love that. You know, she's a Quigman waiting to happen.
barbara - You know, it's THAT very pronunciation -- brah for bro -- that is sending me 'round the bend on this one. Let it end!
leazwell - yup, that's a long way to fall
I like when Marcel said he "freed himself" from Cliff when really, Cliff just let him go.
Don't watch the reality shows. Well, we did watch Singing With The Stars. But other than that, nope.
But I will watch a Scarlett movie. She ain't Uma I know but still very watchable. Did you see Love Song for Bobby Long?
Cliff and Marcel on the floor... redirected sexual tension? Haven't been able to start watching that one. I've given it a few looks, but nothing drew me in. The different outfits in PR, the creative process, and the personal rivalries drew me into that one. Can't get excited about gourmet food. I think its got something to do with the chemistry between the contestants. I got totally into the second season of real world back in the day. Cared about the folks and wanted to see how they did. Same thing with PR, but you couldn't make me watch any of that stupid Mtv crap now.
I have a big prob telling Scarlet and Charlize theron apart. I wonder sometimes if they aren't twins. Am I the only one?
And WTF with large breastaged wommin who go out in public without proper foundation garments? Now, when I was young and had nice perky ones I didn't wear supportive devices. But then a pencil would not stay under my breastages either!
For those of you not in the "know", that was the test... If you put a pencil under your busom and it fell, you were good to go; if it stayed put, you needed a brassiere.
Nowadays, well, a card I got from a friend put it best, "We still have what it takes to turn men's heads... It's just a couple of inches lower now!"
So please, Ladies, if you fail the pencil test, put on a bra. You don't look Free, or Young, you just look droopy and in danger of hurting yourself or someone standing next to you.
Yeah hollyb, they do look a lot alike. From the neck up. But how you gonna confuse these for those?
actually, I think that's what I would look like with blonde hair (the top picture, I mean).
zelda - well, marcel has to get out the retro-jets to maneuver around the truth, occasionally. He is his own spin machine.
myron - No - I didn't see that. I do think she's pretty in a way, but I think she's not the brilliant creature she is made out to be - just smart enough to keep her mouth shut, I think.
fathairybastard - I think a few of the Real World people way back when were more earnest people who actually had other goals in life than being famous. Now it's more an opportunity for self-indulgence and Peter-Pan type behaviors. Project Runway seems the most grown up of the shows. and yeah, I'd like to hear a serious analysis of Cliff flopping down on top of Marcel - a bit, um, how shall I say?...
hollyb - I can see how they are similar, but I find Charlize much much prettier. I dunno, but if the judges were actually interested in helping someone with constructive criticism, they would have chastisted her mother for not giving her proper instruction on bra-wearing. She could put someone's eye out. Or more likely their kneecap.
myron - I know you're not picky, but at least Charlize's rack is original manufacturer equipment, and not an after-market add-on.
sudiegirl - So, you look like Scarlett Johansson!?
