J'Adler et al

Jonathan Adler's Top Design Word of the Week:

Insouciance. Usage: "Nathan's table setting was riddled with panache and insouciance." (I had to look it up! I love when I have to look it up.)

Items pronounced j'adorable by Jonathan Adler:

Nothing from this week, but previous items include

-Dog bed in the first episode ("because every gay has a dog")

-The marital bed of Nathan and Wisit in the bunker episode. Lord, how I love the Nathan and Wisit fake relationship!

Now let's talk about this for a minute

A crimped beehive! Delightful. Reminded me of this:

Don't you think that's totally what she was going for? The Iona Prom Look? If the camera pans down, she has on furry slippers. For sure. How much time does this woman spend in hair and make-up? Do you think after taping she goes to happy hour looking like that? I truly did love her other costume last night--the hat and the huge black belted shirt:

The only thought in my head during that scene was "she is so pretty!" She is.

What about Nathan, when he said "I diarreahed in my mouth" because Teresa told him that her zen design was similar to his? I like Nathan. I think Eddie wants him dead.

I am also feeling strong emotion for the ultra feminine Wisit.

He's happy, he's chill, and he was totally robbed in the garden portion of the triathalon last night. I don't know what it is about him, I just want to cuddle him. Did you hear Nathan call Wisit "pumpkin" a few episodes back? Their fake marriage is so tender, I could cry.

The Best Exchange

Shazia (to Preston): ....why don't you go do that because it's not so labor intensive. I thought that was the most disgusting thing you could have said to me!

Jeff: Shaz. Did you call him an a-hole?

Shazia: Yes.

Jeff (gentle voice): Isn't that the most disgusting thing you could say to somebody?

SGM (fanning herself): OMIGOD.

Look at that smirk! Did anyone else sense a love triangle blossoming among Jeff, Jonathan Adler and Preston? What about Eddie's gorgeous floral arrangement? It's almost like the judges were saying "Eddie, we can't have you win every time, so we're going to make up some bullshit excuse and give this one to Nathan."

I was happy to see Shaz go, but not because of the a-hole comment. What do you think?

My arms ache for him

Jeff Lewis guest judges on Top Design tonight. (I'm totally fanning myself at my desk right now. HOT.)

Also, if you've been watching the show regularly this season, then you are familiar with the super-talented Eddie Ross. Look at him!

God, how I love me some smart-mouthed preppy gay. Sigh. Paloma at La Dolce Vita scored an interview with him, and he's just as fabulous as you would expect. Check it out here.
