How does this meme thing work anyway?
And what do you think of the new season of PR. Tim Gunn awesome as always, and Nina still needs a hairbrush.

Kim - Yep, I love me that movie. I didn’t know you were a HK-movie watcher!! It’s kind of my dissertation topic!
MdG - Basically, it’s just filling out questionnaires about yourself, which I’ve always liked. A lot of them have you “tag” someone, but I usually just fill them out and leave them open for anyone else to pick up and do. They’re fun for what they tell you about the people whose blogs you read, but it’s mostly that I’m a sucker for questionnaires.
I’m not sure yet about the new season. I thought the outfits this last week were largely uninspired, although I was rooting for the one that won. I love Tim Gunn!! I couldn’t even tell you why…he just seems like such a sweetheart. Hadn’t thought about Nina and the hairbrush, but you’re right! Michael Kors’ style kind of leaves me cold, although he tends to get off some good one-liners, but Heidi Klum is just weird to me. I kind of like (?Jessica?)’s sensibility so far, but she seems to be channeling Japanese designers more than European, which is a look I tend to like better anyway. I’m interested to see who comes out on top, though.
