Roleplay

Yesterday I had off. I ironed the muslin; my spray bottle refuses to spray so I’ve taken it apart as much as is obvious to let it dry out. Imager’s Challenge continues. I went to the dentist for a cleaning and X-rays (all is well). Lunch, which took a weird turn due to period ugh and the remnants of dentist anxiety.

Watched Next in Fashion all afternoon. There’s been some kerfuffle online about Kiki and Farai. The challenge they got kicked off for was indeed bullshit; I don’t know who signed off on having everyone design for extended size models but without any extended size judges on the panel. Just. No. However, when you watch someone on GBBO get the same feedback three weeks in a row, you understand that versatility is a skill separate from someone being able to realize their vision. Without it, nobody stays on these kind of shows. Kiki and Farai have an important voice that fashion absolutely needs. After the second time they heard “too much going on,” that was the time to go for minimalism, and they weren’t willing to do that. It sucks, cause I’d have loved to see each of their takes on later challenges.

P came home for his break between classes, and we did the crossword and hung out together. He left for campus again and I made dinner, was all sensitive to smells but it seems to have worked out okay. Repair Shop, snack, sleep.
