proof that I need sleep
Sep. 20th, 2007 11:02 pmWhen Tim Gunn starts ranting about the slobification of America, I think to myself, "wow, why hasn't anyone written some awful fic about him being Snape's second cousin?"
I had two and a half hours of sleep last night. Ugh.

Re: I have so many mixed feelings about Tim
Date: 2007-09-21 02:39 pm (UTC)I actually have met Wendy Pepper--I watched the finale of Season 1 of PR at her home/studio. She had a lot to say. Earlier that week, Tim had said some really mean things about her. When we asked her about it, she basically said that his attitude toward her between the taping and the showing had done a 180. Essentially once the editing happened, he started treating her as if she really were the way the editing made her out to be.
(By the way, she's a lovely woman, and at the time had some spectacular stuff going on in her studio. People tend to forget that she did win 2 of the challenges.)
I do like Tim's idea of the basics, because I think that we do tend to get away from the basics. But I really really detest what they have been doing to women with regard to the underwear issue. As for dresses? I do think that dresses should be worn more! But I also think that there needs to be a better answer for women who are proportioned differently than standard!fashion! thinks they should be.
I did not watch last night's episode, though I have it taped. I could see where it was going though. As a mom of a 1 year old, *I* wear capris and t-shirts. I'm not proud. I'm 5'3" with long legs and a short top that is mostly breasts. And I'm not going to go crawling around the grass in a dress. AND I'm not going to wear long pants in the summer. And shorts are right out.
Hey, maybe I *AM* a candidate for this show, but truthfully, I'm probably more of a candidate for What Not to Wear.
