so far,so good。 男孩又开始了新的音乐第二春。祝他成功。有新闻说采访他问,你在乎欢欢有3个孩子,还离过两次婚吗。他说,当然不在乎。(多么难得的好男人。)欢欢说自己年纪大了,(40了),而克帆是独子,怕不能给他传宗接代。(也太贤妻良母了吧。)真的很希望他们最终能走到一起。有人说得到了反而不这么珍惜,不如就让这美丽的错误继续。我倒是希望他们至少试一试,总好过遗憾一生。
Julie呢,她做为一个天天被客户抱怨、辱骂的接线员,终于在美国911事件之后,面对整个业已精神崩溃的社会,自己也精神崩溃了。她只感觉到自己的无助,渺小,以及无法成功,她亲爱的丈夫为了鼓励她曾经的作家梦,劝她开个博客——你不需要出版商,只需要点击“发布”。Julie把这个博客当作自己情绪发泄的出口,她在博客上写的内容,就是,她要在一年时间内,挑战Julia的食谱中的524道菜。为什么是Julia?我想,大概是因为Julie的那段童年记忆吧:妈妈做的“Julia的Gardiane de Taureau(红酒烩牛肉)”,那种味道,那种气氛,那种有人给你指导的感觉,让她觉得安全。
失魂落魄的Julie在失去了始终微笑着伴在她身旁的男人时,才慢慢想起,Julia也经历过挫败,不仅仅是她被法国厨师学校的女校长鄙视,不仅仅是她不会握果汁刀,不仅仅是她的婚姻不被她父亲祝福,不仅仅是她无法生育,不仅仅是她丈夫被当作与中国有非法勾当而被美国政府审讯,不仅仅是她的食谱书一次次被拒绝出版。可是,Julia却没有被真正打败过。即使,她有时会红了眼圈,有时会气得呼吸困难,有时她也会质疑自己:这一切是不是仅仅是我自己的胡闹,为了显得不那么一无是处(Is it just my something to do, so I will not have nothing to do)?
我有没有告诉你这部片子有个喜剧的结局?所以,Julie终于幡然醒悟了“生活的真谛”,她明白了对于她而言,最重要的,不是食物,不是博客,不是粉丝,甚至不是作家梦,而是她和她男人之间爱情——“You are the butter to my bread; the breath to my life(你是我面包上的黄油,你是我生命中的氧气)”。啊我翻译得太缺乏美感了= =。
All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.
Glad it ends like what I wished for! Although this season has been fairly dull and uncreative, Irina constantly works fine and establishes her own style as a designer. Her Bryant Park show collection actually demonstrates her ability of showcasing her ideology, telling a tale, and completing a thread that is fashionable AND show-able. Maybe her style is not extremely spectacular, but I can see her having her own line someday and women would want to buy one or two pieces from her collection!
Here's a photo of Irina, and some works from her last-show collection. Uploading photos onto Blogger is such a pain... I will try to upload more later.
To be honest, Althea and Carol Hannah also show their strength. I loved Althea's jackets so much - I think in the shopping malls there is no one really-fit jacket out there; Carol Hannah is definitely the master of one-piece gorgeous dresses. All her dresses are impeccable, as Heidi said. But she is incapable of sewing pants and Althea always shies away from elegant-looking dress/skirt.
I am honestly happy for Irina, not only because she stands on the stage for the immigrants with American dreams, but more importantly, seeing her winning her father's tearful approval is one of the most touching moment of this boring show. I guess that must be ONE amazing moment for all daughters that had once been despised by the fathers for who they are, what they do, what they dream for. Of course, fashion, of all occupations, could be one of the least understandable dream for a rigid dad. Congratulations, Irina.
At last, the most bitchy girl beats the sweet and the stealthily bitchy one. End of story.
Here's some more info of this quite good-looking girl:
Irina Shabayeva Age: 26 Birthplace: The Republic of Georgia Current Home: New York, NY Favorite Designer: Jean Paul Gaultier Style Icons: Sophia Loren, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth Favorite Past Project Runway Designer: Rami Kashou, Season 4
Though an immigrant from the former USSR, Irina would never be mistaken for anything but a full blown New Yorker. Currently living on the Upper East Side, Irina attended Parsons The New School of Design, where she first realized her true design potential. Her aesthetic is focused on sexy and ultra-feminine designs with a European flair. She describes her biggest weakness as her desire for instant gratification.
Why she thinks she’ll win? Irina says she’ll win because she is “the best” and will “save the world, one dress at a time.”
Tim Gunn: "Her models look as if they've been in for a dozen fittings, and they haven't."
Performance before the last show: She’s won more challenges than both Carol Hannah and Althea.

对Fancl卸妆油兴趣大增。原本听来觉得很greasy,这两天终于把某日本著名邮购品牌的橄榄油小样试用了,卸妆效果完美!比Clinique Take the Day off油好很多。 那么为什么是长草Fancl呢?...呃,是因为听说比这品牌要不刺激。其实这个也还好,只是睫毛卸久了,视野会变模糊...
last Halloween, most of the baby-cucumbers including Wei had a dinner at T.G.I. Friday. But this year, Wei and Jane will not be able to join us. How time flies~
BEIJING — President Hu Jintao of China congratulated on Monday the Taiwanese leader Ma Ying-jeou after his election this weekend as chief of Taiwan’s governing party, a victory that analysts said could bolster Mr. Ma’s efforts to pursue engagement and economic ties with China.
Mr. Ma ran uncontested on Sunday in the election for Kuomintang party chief. He won 92.5 percent of about 300,000 votes cast, with a turnout of 58 percent, the party said.
Since his election 14 months ago as Taiwan’s president, Mr. Ma has pursued warmer relations with China, but not always with the wholehearted support of his own party.
“As party chairman, he can try to renovate the Kuomintang,” and try to overcome that opposition, said Bruce Jacobs, who directs Taiwan research at Australia’s Monash University.
China’s state-run media suggested that Mr. Ma’s election could set the stage for a historic meeting between him and Mr. Hu as party chiefs. In addition to being president, Mr. Hu is general secretary of China’s governing Communist Party.
Any meeting between them as heads of state would immediately raise the sensitive issue of Taiwan’s sovereignty. Contacts between the sides on a party-to-party basis might be more politically acceptable.
Beijing claims sovereignty over Taiwan, which has been ruled separately since 1949, when the Chinese civil war ended with the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang forces.
Mr. Ma has ruled out any meeting for now, saying that the Taiwanese people are split over the issue.
Mr. Jacobs said a meeting was unlikely. He characterized the exchange of messages between Mr. Hu and Mr. Ma about the election as “probably more of a formality.”
In his congratulatory telegram to Mr. Ma, Mr. Hu said, “I hope our two parties can continue to promote peaceful development in cross-strait relations, and help bolster mutual trust between the two sides in political affairs,” Chinese state media reported.
In response, on Monday, Mr. Ma said, “We should continue efforts to consolidate peace in the Taiwan Strait and rebuild regional stability.”
