High (Fashion) Anxiety

Morning spent debating the pros and cons of being on a HSN show for holiday gift-giving.  I’m surprisingly extremely excited about the possibility.
Lunch with Susan while watching Rachel Zoe.  Entirely in love with the show this season although beyond stressed by Jeremiah’s challenge:  decorating 7,000 square feet of house in 2 weeks.  That is simply not possible, except by TV magic.  He was actually told that he could get a sofa custom upholstered in 3 days (something that takes at least six weeks) and delivered.  I’m not exagerating but while watching the show, my entire life completely dissolved and I was 100% focused on his problems.  I couldn’t decide if this was true relief or just substituting a higher level of anxiety.
Adrian, Belle and I often joked about how the Naples project was a very reality show, impossible-challenge situation (our beloved LLS switching two bedrooms after they’d been painted and set up days before our deadline), but this 2 week 7,000 square foot challenge is … BANANAS!

Mostly, I’m concerned how this is going to affect Jeremiah’s time-commitment to product in his hair:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Totally awesome massage via Brian Swager who offers a (free!) karmi massage to yoga teachers in SF.  How amazing is that!  Brian has an unbelievably comforting and wonderful touch and I felt completely restored after my RZ-watching anxiety.  Honestly, it was the only thing that could have gotten me back into a serenity groove.
Watched ANTM online which was challenging for multiple reasons — note:  I’m giving Tyra a second shot because Susan is — mostly because things froze as the final revelation of the judging segment began.  Somehow you can’t just go directly to the fifth segment;  you have to watch the ads (or have them play through at least) for segments 1 – 4 before you can see the ending.
Downloaded several movies to check out actors based on my Sarah Finn casting conversation for the novel.  With the excitement about the novel being optioned and my RZ decorating flashback stress, it’s a wonder I can sleep at all!
