kiss my swatch
two weeks ago, after watching the gripping season finale of Bravo's Top Chef (yeaaah Ilan!), i was sucked into the premiere of "Top Design", which at the time seemed harmless...and I was just waiting to find out the context of the commercial clip "you can't design a room around a cat!"
the show might have been okay if todd oldham could act his way out of his makeup bag. i'mtoddoldhamiamtalkinglikearobot. but the real killjoy of the show is the head judge johnathan adler -- see picture below -- who in only two shows has managed to utter the phrases "merci" "mozeltov" and ::shudder:: "see you later, decorator". what? who says that??
thankfully, i wasnt the only one wondering. mr. adler's cutesy catch phrase caused quite a stir on his blog, which, by the way, is chock full of equally abominable inventions like "meshugena" "j'adorable", and of course his response to posts like this: "kiss my swatch".
