Dear Peter,
I felt terrible for Alison, too, with her sweet Cindy Brady diction and wonderful clothes. They sacrifice a sweet blond (Austin!) almost every season and it always breaks my heart. It wasn’t fair. Sometimes you just get stuck with the wrong material and you shouldn’t be penalized for trying to make the best of it. Why, this very week, I bought some fabric for these Kara Janx-inspired obi belts I keep making and it wasn’t until I got home that I realized I’d chosen black fetishwear PVC. It looked less . . . lubricated in the store.
Oh. I’m sorry. Did I just send you to your happy place again? The best part about the whole Vincent thing (happy place! happy place!) was the reaction shots you got from the judges every time he said it. Even synthetic fabrics don’t make Nina grimace like that.
And don’t get me started on Pearl. Soviet craft stores were better-stocked. Their buyer seems to subscribe to the same shopping strategy my college roommates and I did (purchase an assload of goodies, eat all the sugar cereal and string cheese in two days, then live off freezer-burnt hot dog buns for two months). Though: can you imagine shopping there and hearing Tim’s voice come over the PA speaker? That would get anyone off.

PS: If you watch this week's Thirty Days -- and I recommend you do -- by all means mute it and look away when they get to the tantric demonstration. Happy place! Happy place!
