ANTM: Yaya over Amanda for final two? Whatever. I am just glad that Eva won. Yes, EVA WON! Considering that after the first episode, I liked Yaya best and Eva least, I'm not sure whether to blame misleading first impressions or diabolical editing for my complete reversal of opinion. Yaya's final photo couldn't compare to either Eva's or Amanda's, regardless of whatever B.S. the "judges" spouted, and I also found it amusing that Tyra claimed that Yaya had found a way to become likable and to connect with people. Maybe they edited that part of Yaya's transformation out. Anyway, Eva was so cute when she won, and seemed so genuinely overcome and happy, that I cried. Yes, I cried at the results of a UPN reality series that produces unmarketable "models." And if they do a fourth season, I'll watch it.

Did anyone else think the hair for that final runway show was hideous? I liked the clothing, but the hair and cartoon makeup were just awful. Also, even though it was a "real" show in terms of there being other models present, I certainly didn't get the impression that it was anything other than an ANTM set piece. If there had been any shadow of doubt, I think the presence of Jay Manuel as stage manager would make it obvious that no media outlets other than UPN could possibly be interested in the spectacle.

Again, yay! Eva! Thank you for beating Yaya's ass.

the power and the glory: Is it really that wrong, if you're in need of an ego boost, and if you happen to know a man's taste in perfume, and you also know that he thinks you're hot, to go into his place of business and enjoy the spectacle of him acting like a devoted ass while you sidestep and ignore him? Well, yes, I guess it is that wrong, but I did it anyway. Before I left, he asked if I would rub my wrist (i.e., the perfume) on his so that he could keep smelling it. So, I did. Which probably doesn't make up for going there with malicious intent in the first place, but I wasn't exactly planning on sainthood anyway.

And, yes, Mr. G, if you're reading this, you know exactly who I'm talking about.

Completely unpractical, unwalkable footwear that I still want: these shoes, in red pony fur, elegant ladies' size 10: Grand Nationals. Just in case anyone was wondering what kind of $500 present to get me for the holiday I don't celebrate.

You know, I've read some defenses of Yaya, and some claims that it's all editing making her look bad...but she really says those stupid things, and really is that arrogant, and her sister really did tell her (on the phone) that everyone was blessed by her mere presence, so Yaya is clearly an inveterate ass with lots of help from her loved ones to keep her that way.

As for the P&G...the combination of my body chemistry and this perfume (Prada, fwiw) seems to be a kind of insta-boner tonic for many a guy, and I suppose I shouldn't feel bad for simply reminding people (i.e., men) that they have engines to rev, so long as I'm not doing anything but standing in front of them smelling pretty. Well, that's my defense, anyway.

As for the boots, I tried on the shoe version of those a couple years ago and was completely unable to move in steps of more than a few inches at a time. The boots would probably be a thing to wear while reclining, but I don't really see a problem with that...

You make me want to wear perfume. (note I am once again in awe of your femininity)

I see they'll even throw in express shipping for the price of regular shipping with the $500 boots. How generous!

I've got wiles, I tell you - WILES! But, really, it's the perfume: it smells like chocolate and incense and cloves and dirty sex without actually smelling like dirty sex would really smell.

For $500, they should send along a houseboy with a shoehorn.

Other than the since-discredited Yaya, my favorite girl at the beginning was Julie. With Julie gone so early, and Yaya proving to be poison, all I was hoping for was an anyone-but-YaYa win.

Eva did actually win me over, but I was still surprised when I cried at her victory. I hope she actually manages to do something that resembles a real modeling career.

I adored Eva from the get go! I'm overjoyed that she won it. Yaya was insufferable.
