Holy Google, Batman!

Wow, I'm link #10 for "olympus fashion week project runway". Seven of the nine links ahead of me are either OFW official pages, or major media pages covering OFW. And I'm only the 3rd blog, behind the greatness that is BPR...

If you got here looking for fabulousness, welcome, and have a look around!

Project Runway: Olympus Fashion Week

The final fashion show pictures are up at Getty Images!
Click
here for all the images.

Or go here to see the looks sorted by designer.

So
far it looks like Laura is the only one without a swimsuit. Please, oh great fashion deities, say it isn't so, say Laura ISN'T the decoy.

Also, Nazri is modeling for Uli.... which may indicate a last minute model shuffle. Not good.

My
first impressions: Jeffrey pulled a Santino. I actually LIKE his clothes.
Especially the very 1940's swimsuit and the green striped dress. Uli
is Uli. Yeccch. But she actually made pants, I think. Laura is
Laura, but at least she did a number of different silhouettes and some
of the dresses are really fun. Michael: what a disappointment. Some
of the dresses are nice, but mostly it looks like a bad hip-hop
video.....

Jay McCarroll shows in an hour......

Sad as Hell

The Crocodile Hunter is dead.

Steve Irwin died at 11am Monday morning after being stung by a Sting Ray off the coast of Australia, north of Cairns. Evidently Steve and his crew were filming an underwater documentary.

The irony of it is that Sting Rays aren't considered to be especially dangerous, and stings often cause little more than skin irritation.

Steve leaves behind his wife Terri and children Bindi Sue (

and Bob (2 and a half).

Terri Irwin was in Tasmania, and wasn't present during the shoot. She was notified shortly afterward by Tasmanian authorities.

Steve's death has crashed a lot of websites in Australia, including major news pages and the Australia Zoo site.

Steve touched a lot of people because of his passion for wildlife and his honesty about who he was and what he did. And how much he loved his family. I was always a big fan of Steve's and I will miss him more than I should.

1 I feel like I've lost one of my heroes. My husband and I chose Australia for our honeymoon in no small part due to his genuine love for the flora and fauna of his home. I hope that Bindi and Bob come to know how much he was loved by so many in the international community. I'll miss you, Steve.

2 Well, darn. I just loved that guy. I loved so much how he got all excited about the creatures he worked with. I'm saying a prayer for his family. What awful, awful news for them.

3 Wow, that sucks...I'm sad, not just for his family, but for all the fans, and for the fact that we've lost a sciencey-person with real enthusiasm and charisma...we need all of those we can get. I guess the only thing you can say is that he went out doing what he loved. I suppose that's better than him getting killed by a drunk driver or something...

4 holy crap. that sucks.

5 Very tragic. Have you ever seen Bindi on film? She has her father's gift. She gave a dissertation on something animal-related and appeared as knowledgeable, competent, passionate, and entertaining as her father, but in a little girl way. Bless them all. That poor family. Huge shoes to fill.

6 This makes me very sad. I must have said no less than 50 times yesterday, Â“I canÂ’t believe it.Â” I just keep thinking of all of these children who watch him. How devastating, I so wouldn't want to have to talk to my children about losing one of their childhood icons. That's the nice thing about cartoons, they might get hit with an anvil but they always come back.

7 How sad. I loved that guy. So did the boy. I hope his wife and daughter and crew continue on tv. That is what he'd have wanted I think.

11 It is a rarity in this world to find so truly great a man, who so truly never tried to be any more than a man. Our world does and should mourn the loss of a man whose name should be remembered with the Ghandi's and Mother Theresa's of the world, passive, dedicated, and world shaking in both accomplishments and resolve. Crocs Rule!
