Did you like Ari's new rockin' style? What about his paella-making fiasco? How did you like The Pelicans' performance?

Talk about it all right here!

What was the clothing store in this episode? It looked amazing. Do they have the website?

Carson gives the best hip tips ever! After looking at the naked lady drawing upteen times, I got rewarded at the end. It was like a palate cleanser, if you will. And I'll have to report on what's-his-name later. I can't remember much other than the skivvy shot

Pardon me while I have a minor seizure....
NEXT WEEK WE ARE WITHOUT OUR FASHION FAERIE GODSTYLIST????

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok... I feel better... yes, I understand. Dearest, most refulgent, mesmeric-cutie Carson went to go make his movie... but **Weep**Weep**!!! I'll MISS that beautiful bouncing blond baby!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sigh...
(Someone give My_Guy_Ky smelling salts... she saw something sticking out of Kyan's fly and lost focus! Pass them over to CK14 et al -- 'cause that sexy blond bombshell, Carson took off his pants on TV!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok... Was Ari a disaster? Eh - a little bit... but it was great fun to watch!!

Dearest Carson was quite the Dire Straights flashback in his satin western shirt! I love it when he does art work on the guy's couture. (That art degree really showed tonight!)I thought he did an amazing job! (And yes, darlin - I was rather royally miffed too!)

The jacket Carson designed WAS incredibly hot - and for Ari to NOT wear it to play for the record producers and Rolling Stone's reporter - bordered on the self-sabotage to me. I can understand royally flustered... but to flub up the food, the clothes, the singing presence, the grooming and nearly smash the plates... I really wonder...

Thom just had me rollin' off the bed! He was killing me with laughter over that impromptu song! (I love it when he messes with the guitar... he really should fiddle around with lessons and give us a shock one day!)

I enjoyed seeing Ari's art... but after Kyan asked how serious Ari REALLY was - and Jai pointed out that very little in the apartment said "Music Obsessed" - I was wondering how seriously Ari was taking his life.

I enjoyed the hair cutting scenes and Kyan razzing Ari about being tardy. It seemed like Ari was really listening to everything Kyan was saying - and Kyan hooked him up with a good stylist... and I will say - Ari did well with his hair. ...I do have a question... who here uses soap without water? This is twice this summer, now...

I thought it was great of Jai to take Ari to get equipment he didn't have before - and I hope that our dear SG sees the instructions Jai gave and takes them to heart. It was an amazing thing for Jai to get hardcore proffessionals to come see Ari and the Pelicans... but I wasn't that impressed with the tiny snippets we heard. ...Granted - it's not a style of music I gravitate toward, so don't go by me. Jai IS a better singer, though.

Ted's paella dish looked amazing - and WHEW! Saffron costs an arm and a leg, doesn't it? Ted spent some dough for that meal! Garlic isn't that difficult to pull a clove and peel... so it was almost a comic act... as was the almost infantile chopping method with the onions... but if you've never weilded a knife before or separated a clove of garlic in your life??? I suppose I'd be flipping out too. (There needed to be more than one potholder in the place.)

Ted was hysterical shouting from the floor of the kitchen, and Carson being Liberacee was priceless. Thom on that blowhorn cracked me up. Kyan and Jai were absolute dolls! I'll watch the epi again and take note and be back, peeps.

I loved it! I needed the laugh tonight and BOY did they deliver. Peace pets! --De

How cute is Ari! I think he did a great job and if I lived in New York I would be asking the Fab5 to fix me up. But, alas, i am trapped in Northern California! The band was great and I hope the show helps them take off. Another fine job men!

Just finish watching the episode, boy this guy is weird.

Kyan's hair looks really great and he looks young in those cool casual clothes. My favorite line of his tonight was, "He's got a small basket" When the SG kept him waiting in front of the salon, he sounded sarcastic when he said, "You just take your sweet time. Don't worry about me."

I liked when Thom said "Oh Lawd, honey. We're gonna change a tragic fool to rocker cool, honey." I like the way he just flew onto that bed in the store.

Jai looked rather butch in a plaid flannel shirt and a baseball cap. I really loved Jai's role in this episode! What a sweet little doodlebug! *coo* I really didn't care for Jai's outfit during the reveal.

Paella looks complex, but it didn't sound too difficult to make. There are just a lot of ingredients.

When Carson saw tissue balls in the bed, he said something like "It looks like a 90 y.o. woman slept here" "I hate straight bars." I love the jacket he made for SG.
Notevayas: Did you dig Carson's Hip Tip, or what?
I like the Carson MIA gimmick for next week's show. (says the Kyanite who usually doesn't like it when Bravo messes with the formula)

The SG is an amazing artist and his singing and guitar playing are just fabulous. I wasn't as crazy about the lyrics to what he sang to the boys. His face is pudgy and I think he could try some highlights. I can't believe they could show the naked woman in his painting on TV. I liked how he said, "I'm not worthy" ala Wayne & Garth. He looked so sloppy going around in his underwear just before and during the reveal. It's really too bad that the entrance to his apt. is in that narrow kitchen. It seems that his bandmates had to squeeze past the oven on their way in. The bandmember with the glasses on sure looked young. The SG sounded good onstage, in spite of his habit of practically kissing the mic.

THE PELICANS ROCK!

Ooooo, we're not even going to talk about the blood soup! Ari needs to make arrangements for his girlfriend to come live with him fast because he needs HELP! Every time he put his arm into the oven FROM A SQUAT POSITION and got burned, I screamed (sorry luvsthom). I was like "STAND UP!" That boy was really something else! BUT...he was cute in his way and I like him.

I didn't know what to expect when he started to sing, however he was not bad! It was something I could get into but that may be because I like varied kinds of music. It wasn't bad, not at all - and the same went for the band even though they only played a little bit through editing.

Questin...is it legal for a place to be THAT small and still be called an apartment?! I was drooling over his books...books books books books - I LOVE books! Never get the chance to read them, but it doesn't stop me from buying them. To have my own house with built-in bookshelves would be SO IT for me! So when they did the reveal, I hit drool factor 20 - then I looked away from Thom and checked out the shelves.

He was singing to me...did you hear Thom singing to me! He was singing, "Daawwnniieee...."

Yup, I'm absolutely positive he was. Please ignore the large, concussion-like bump on the top of my head.

That jacket Carson did for Ari was totally friggin' amazing! He's got such a knack for that. Know who else's jacket was kickin'? Ted's! When they were in the loft, that jacket was so on! I would kill for a jacket like that! Ok, not really kill but you know what I mean.

Tired...will comment more later.

I'd love the Paella recipe if anyone has it. It looked wonderful.

Ari is SO CUTE!

De!!! Did you say 'blowhorn' for bull horn? Freudian slip? I think NOT!
This was an okay episode for me. Not ranked with favs like John K. and Chris's(?) wedding reception but not down with the awful pig twins either.
The music is not to my taste but I admire that Ari is following his dream a la Winston. Personally I think Ari should do more with his graphic art. Some of those portraits really rocked! And yes, how DID they get away with the nude on the wall???
So--well, the talk of the town is Carson's gorgeous legs!!! Boxers or briefs? I really can't remember (must look at the video again tonight!) but I'm betting briefs. Would Tick be green with envy? Hope he has the opportunity to see this show.
From the beginning (3 times now I've avoided saying a blow by blow of the episode) bet I get edited :-).
The apartment was AWFUL. Icky yellow color, so tiny! The bull horn was so funny in everyone's hands. Ari wasn't too impressive at first, I kept asking myself 'rocker?' but after Kyan got his grooming done Ari was pretty hot! Yeah, what is it with 'dry' cleansing?
Jai was just amazing! I love that boy! Come let me adopt you, sweetie. He encouraged Ari and treated him as a professional equal. Wish Ari had listened to his advice about the mic. I hate singers who swallow the mic. It is so distorted! At least Ari heard the same comments again from the Rolling Stone guy. What a wonderful gift--the amp and guitar. And Ari's guitar playing wasn't half bad, just wasn't wild about his voice or style of music.
Thom, Thom you must have been a gymnast in your past life. That sailing leap in the furniture store had me rolling! As always you worked a miracle. Loved the colors you used and how you scaled the furniture to the small space. I'd never thought of using low stools for seating. I live in a trailer and that might be an idea I will try.
Ted, the paella looked maaaaavelous! I never knew saffron was red. I always thought it was yellow. I could almost smell the spices in that store myself. I loved how Ari commented on the fragrance on each floor.
Carson, if I can get beyond your unveiling--I loved the jacket and I was also really ticked that Ari didn't wear it. It seems to me he was really sacattered about his clothing. I think I saw at least 2 and maybe 3 different outfits on him between stripping down to shorts and t-shirt for cooking and finally getting on stage. Carson's suggestions for jeans and boots for a smaller man were very helpful. I would assume us short women could also put those suggestions to good use.
May I make a suggestion--a thought that crossed my mind as Ari was cleaning up after the FF left and was noshing some of the 'garbage.' Wasn't he originally from Russia (when it was the USSR) and came to the US when he was around 9? It could be that he was raised in a household that cherished every morsel of food, especially if his parents were raised during WWII. That might have been part of the reason for his nibbling. Just a thought.
The other thing I was thinking of when he was making such a mess of his kitchen duties. Do you all remember Allan (I think it was), the guy that was really cheap and was getting his parents and his GF's parents together. Remember how he fell apart in the kitchen. Dropped and broke a martini pitcher and/or glass. I will never forget hearing him say to himself 'you don't deserve nice things.' It broke my heart!
Let's face it girls, often the guys just don't know how to juggle three things in the kitchen. And they KNOW we are watching them. Still, the cut finger was a bit much. And after cutting it, he stuck it in his mouth then went back to slicing and dicing. Ick!
Loved the band members--they all seemed to be behind Ari 100%. And the tall young guy that the FF were hot for DID rock!
So, you all who know more about rock today than you know about Elvis, what does this _,,/ mean? In American Sign Language it is ILY (thumb, index, mid and ring curled, pinky) but I've heard it may mean something different when the audience is rocking out. Kyan used the sign.
Cheers for now,
SLB _,,/
