I absolutely this dress. Gowns like this, ones where it becomes so obvious that it is a piece of art and not just something you cover your body with, are so incredibly beautiful to me. It is interesting to look at the model in this and see how she almost looks separate from the gown, or at least how she almost becomes secondary or submissive to it. Could be construed as a classic case of the “dress wearing you,” but whenever I see a photo of a woman wearing a truly stunning dress like this, the relationship always strikes me more as: “I will do the designer the favour of using my body to show off this beautiful piece of art.”
Just love it.

Internet PPV
Is there a reason why TV shows don’t offer something like Live Pay Per View for their shows? A lot of people I know don’t have cable nowadays, or at least not fancy cable. I would gladly pay something like $2 for my three favourite shows to be able to stream Project Runway direct from Bravo when it airs rather than having to wait until tomorrow to see it somewhere posted online. Or a service like Hulu could offer shows the night-of for an additional fee (as opposed to day-after for free like they currently do). Maybe I am the only person that is this combination of impatient and bougie but one would think that if places like iTunes can sell shows, the sites could also stream them live and people would pay.
Curious that no channels do this.

This video further enforces my belief that every man in the 1980s was just straight up creepy.

A big, new CNN/ORD poll asks: “If Obama’s plan became law, do you think senior citizens or seriously-ill patients would die because government panels would prevent them from getting the medical treatment they needed?”
Would happen 41%
Would not happen 57%
No opinion 2%

This is pretty amazing given Matthew Weiner’s insane obsession with period details (article in VF about him is pretty fabulous).
