Finally I finished the goddamn press releases. I was deep in block mode for like a week and a half. You know – the kind of writers block where you eat lots of cheese doodles and stare at your computer and Google old boyfriends and then start entering the names of long-deceased pets into the search box just to see what comes up.
The circus team loved them, all except for the loathsome and depraved Gorman whom I deliberately snubbed because it's hard to work a preference for uncut Mexican dick into snappy, upbeat prose. (And I will note here that Annie Proulx's description of how the fetish might have sprouted in the heart of one handsome cowboy named Ennis is the paragraph in Brokeback Mountain, the story, that Larry McMurtry did not choose to extrapolate upon for the movie.)
Meanwhile last night was the night of the week I live for: Project Runway!
Marla was in the Auf Wiedersehen hot seat. Why did she survive? Because torturing Marla is just plain good TV! She's the passive aggressive Mom we all love to hate:
Now, see, I didn't mind Guadelupe's dress all that much. Granted, it was all wrong for Hilton, but you figure anything that induces such visceral loathing in the heiress to the world's most uptight airport hotel chain has something going for it. I always love it when the runway degenerates into serious class warfare. The dress was very much funky Chiapas guerilla girl moonlighting as Edith Piaf imitator in uptown jazz joint. Not the Hilton image at all. But that didn't make it a bad dress. Necessarily.
Loath him or hate him, ya gotta admit Santino's dress was pretty darn great. Words fail Nicky; she must revert to the discarded slang of lost tweendom: "Killer!"
Bad choice, though. The dress was so amazing & intricate that in any photograph, the viewer's eyes are going to go straight to the dress and away from the face. I don't think that is quite the effect our little attention vampire is after. Nick's dress was the design that was going to show her off to the camera best. Wisely Nick deduced at this point in the cosmetic enhancement cycle, Hilton's back is better than her front. Subtext: "Pick me and over a lifetime I will coordinate my fashion aesthetic with your surgery schedule!"

MARLA rachets dental floss through silk chambray with a bone needle. BONE NEEDLE is remaining artifact of the LEG Marla sawed off in order to put her oldest son through medical school.MARLA

They never write, they never call. What do these people know about self-sacrifice? What do these people know about suffering? Nothing! Damn it! Nicky Hilton will wear granny panties and Nicky Hilton will enjoy them! Wait! How is that model doing her hair? I want my model to do her hair that way…
