Neal A. Maxwell

"Within the swirling global events- events from which we are not totally immune- is humanity's real and continuting struggle: whether or not, amid the cares of the world, we really choose, in the words of the Lord, to "care for the life of the soul." Whatever our anxious involvements with outward events, this inner struggle proceeds in both tranquil and turbulent times. Whether understood or recognized, this is the unchanging moral agendum from generation to generation."

Kat, Kat, Kaaaatt *disapproving head shake*

What was she thinking? Who let her on stage like this?! I honestly, honestly burst out laughing when she walked on stage last night for SYTYCD. I was suddenly warped back to draping class at FIDM: It's ten minutes before class starts and my hungover classmate doesn't have a garment to present. In record time, he has pinned cheap fabric onto a dress form-making it look almost like a dress and almost like a comprehensible design- and is wheeling it up to the front of the class like we should be impressed. Seriously, was this a favor for a kindergarten age niece who aspires to be a designer one day? Lucky for Kat, she has incredible legs and, let's face it, as long as you're showing off her legs, you can't go completely wrong with anything you put on her... a cinched paper bag would be great.

Just for fun, this is commentary I found online today while not doing my job:

"I can't focus on the judges one bit because I'm so distracted Cat Deeley's dress. It looks like she lost a battle with her drapes before stepping out on stage." -Reality TV Magazine

Usually I love Cat’s sartorial flights of fancy, but this one looked like a big red garbage bag on top of an unattractive flesh-colored slip. -LA Times
