Been gone for a minute, now I'm back at the jumpoff...


Hello. My. Name. Is. Jillian. And. I. Have. No. Inflections. In. My. Voice. I'm. Also. Dry. And. Sour. Grapes. However. I. Make. Excellent. Points.

That said, I completely agree with her rant.  As much as I love Victoria Beckham, I had all of these thoughts while watching the finale.  I didn't get why she would be chosen for the *finale* when she's just a regular person with her own since of style like everyone else.  Yea, I guess she's considered a designer, but for me owning a label does not equal being a designer.  This bitch ain't out here making patterns..she's just approving real artists work.  So yea.

I wanted to explore this Alexander McQueen shtick that people keep mentioning and I must say I was very turned off by Christian's "inspiration", which looks to me like he just remade McQueen's 06-07 line more exaggerated/tailored or something. I thought he should've won based on originality and inexperience (the others are already successful--Jillian as a Ralph Lauren designer, Rami has celebrities wear his stuff all the time, apparently), but now I'm on the fence. *shrug*  I don't see how the judges didn't make the connection since Christian apparently actually worked for McQueen.  Buuuttt, I guess it doesn't matter since they were all pretty fierce and fantastic, but see for yourself at these links:
