Andrea's been a quiet contender from the start.  She's poised, well-spoken, and immensely talented.  There's no doubt she struck fear into the hearts of all the designers and there's no denying that she won the hearts of many viewers as an early favorite to win.  Her grace and cool-as-a-cucumber attitude are both admirable and enviable qualities.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an LA boy, I feel she represented LA beautifully!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of luck, Andrea!

Oh sure, one can assume they’re referring to the number of designers left in the competition…but where’s the fun in that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea reveals to us that she’s secretly super-competitive.  She’s grown a bit weary but her fatigue serves as fuel, motivating her to fight harder, take off the gloves and come out swinging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rg4T5LhjUMI/AAAAAAAAAKU/ub9s-f2J4NM/s1600-h/andreaboxer.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rg4T5LhjUMI/AAAAAAAAAKU/ub9s-f2J4NM/s400/andreaboxer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047994105395892418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cut to the lobby of the Kelly Wearstler-designed, Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica. Matt just bursts with fruit flavor as he reveals that he has images of the Viceroy that he’s pulled from a magazine hanging in his office.  He simply can’t believe that he’s actually there and able to see it in person.  He is as giddy as a kid at Disneyland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rg4UobhjUNI/AAAAAAAAAKc/E5TE_tn2cqI/s1600-h/mattmouseears.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rg4UobhjUNI/AAAAAAAAAKc/E5TE_tn2cqI/s400/mattmouseears.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047994917144711378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todd goes on to explain that smart interior design has become the key "element" to a guest’s experience.  And that nobody understands hotel design better than guest judge, Linda O’Keefe, Design &amp; Architecture Director for Metropolitan Home Magazine.  With an intro like that, one can’t help but wonder why the Viceroy didn't just hire &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;her&lt;/span&gt; to design their interior.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's challenge?  To design a luxury hotel suite focused on the needs of today’s traveler.  The budget is $30,000 PDC dollars, $3,000 for linens, $1550 for fabric, paint and lumber and three days to execute.  As an added twist, each designer must adhere to a theme based on the four natural elements.  Cards are drawn.  Andrea draws earth, She Who’s Name We Do Not Speak draws air (and lots of it!), Matt draws water, and Goil draws fire.  (Insert flamer joke of your choice here.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, we’ve seen Goil play word association games on Watch What Happens and he admits he’s not terribly good at them.  But associating fire with disco?  If someone yells fire I can guarantee you will not find me doing The Hustle.  Matt’s a soggy Scorpio so he’s pleased as punch to have drawn water.  Andrea is completely baffled by the fact that she drew earth and in a sublime moment of TMI reveals she is “not crunchy.”    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Results:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/roomsep8.gif" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She Who's Name We Do Not Speak's room featured lovely shades of blue on two opposing walls with some Goil-esque "vents" in the center to simulate a continuous flow of air.  I must say, this room worked.  It was unique, friendly and nicely finished.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goil focused on the more calm and beautiful aspects of fire such as sunsets, passion and forged metal.  Sure, why not?  The room featured a horizontal line of fabric-covered boards to simulate a horizon line at sunset.  As a room, I rather liked it.  As a high-end hotel suite?  Eh, not so much.  From what we could see, however, nothing was on casters.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea tried to avoid sad and muted tones in her room but somehow it still felt dull and dreary.  Her room featured a bench with a patch of grass on one end as opposed to a proper couch which didn't help matters any.  Nor did the dried floral artwork on the walls.  This was actually my least favorite this week.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt's room was based on the concept of clarity.  He used a very faint shade of blue paint on the walls, white bedding, and translucent or mirrored furnishings.  He added  dark lamp shades and a dark throw on the sofa for just a bit of contrast.  The only thing that just didn't seem to fit was the beige rug he chose.  A dark navy rug would  have really made the room pop.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were really no surprises in the White Room. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rg7nF7hjUQI/AAAAAAAAAK0/6rakQ7ybwZc/s1600-h/britcommentary.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rg7nF7hjUQI/AAAAAAAAAK0/6rakQ7ybwZc/s400/britcommentary.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048226321392685314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Laz:  "Thank you, Britney."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Britney:  "Shoot, and y'all call &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;me&lt;/span&gt; crazy..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laz:  "That'll do, Brit.  That'll do."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was saying, other than the usual assaults on the eye, judging in the White Room went as expected.  The judges liked SWNWDNS's airy room.  Goil's efforts were applauded but the room was critiqued as being too literal and theoretical and not sufficiently luxurious while Andrea's room just wasn't green enough.  Matt's room, on the other hand made everyone moist. Matt not only wins the challenge but he'll also be featured in an editorial spread in November's issue of Metropolitan Home.  That's a heck of a lot better than $2500's worth of Jonathan Adler merchandise, if you ask me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week turned out to be Goil's turn to go home.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, Goil.  We've loved you from the start.  You are brilliant and innovative and as wonderfully human as the next guy.

Wait.  OK, so its really just a letter from Todd.  But it &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; cryptic and it does strike the fear of God into the remaining five designers.  Andrea fears it might be a surprise or twist.  Goil fears it might steal his soul.  Mikey wants to burn it.  Although any of the above would have been very exciting, it turns out to be an invitation to lunch at Norman’s on the Sunset Plaza.  Goil squeals with delight and officially proclaims it…fabulous!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside the restaurant, Todd informs the designers that their next challenge will be to design a private chef’s table for a mystery client.  No, not Alexis.  This mystery client has an eclectic sense of style that includes natural elements, Arts and Crafts and Mid-Century Modern.  All the designers’ heads explode.  All, except for Andrea who is currently teaching restaurant design at Otis College of Art &amp; Design and vows to win or die trying.  The budget is $2,000 for materials, $40,000 PDC dollars and two days in which to finish.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the PDC, Matt stumbles across two reversible tops.  Table tops, that is.  Andrea finds a beautiful side table.  Goil encounters closed doors.  And She Who’s Name We Do Not Speak finds patio chairs.  Mikey got all creative and stuff and decided he would go with non-matching chairs.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back at the cubes, She Who’s Name We Do Not Speak took credit for the invention of straight lines and forged ahead with natural elements which apparently are an affront to her plastic and artificial nature. Matt finds leather "hot" so he decided to tile his floor with it.  Goil once again served as the poster boy for Xanax.  Andrea created slate walls, while Mikey created some Erik-like serial killer artwork.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The results:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/roomsep7.gif" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so we move on to The White Room.  I should mention at this point that for this episode, the part of Kelly Wearstler, normally played by Kelly Wearstler will be played by Sir. Isaac Newton.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTBZ67xCdI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/GYG2tmuPB1A/s1600-h/kellynewton.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTBZ67xCdI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/GYG2tmuPB1A/s400/kellynewton.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045370133622622674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After much ado, Todd finally announces that the mystery client/chef is non-other than Chef Tom Colicchio.  She Who’s Name We Do Not Speak shudders with delicious fear.  Hon, it’s Tom Colicchio, not Mufasa.  Todd also announces that the ever so grand prize this week is a $2,500 gift certificate from Jonathan Adler’s store.  I’m sure had Erik been around for this episode, even his trick eyebrow would have been underwhelmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTB_K7xCeI/AAAAAAAAAJY/EcB7HhS6mZg/s1600-h/tomccommentary.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTB_K7xCeI/AAAAAAAAAJY/EcB7HhS6mZg/s400/tomccommentary.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045370773572749794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laz:    "Thank You, Tom.  But you can’t serve as your own guest commentator.  It's awfully self-indulgent of you."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tom:    "Screw you, Laz.  You photoshopped yourself as Keanu Reeves in the Matrix."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laz:    "Bitch!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matt’s room, which was painted to resemble a sunset viewed from a wooded area, was very well-received.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lack of luxurious material made Tom wonder where Goil spent his money.  Especially seeing how much Goil saved on his chandelier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTCxq7xCgI/AAAAAAAAAJo/TZdJYqA-G4A/s1600-h/goilschandelier.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTCxq7xCgI/AAAAAAAAAJo/TZdJYqA-G4A/s400/goilschandelier.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045371641156143618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was really nothing but praise for Andrea’s extremely well-crafted room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She Who's Name We Do Not Speak's room was blasted for being "empty" and "a bummer."  &lt;br /&gt;Indeed, the room was little more than dark teal paint, enormous banquette and a dining table.  Oh, and slip-covered patio chairs.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael's room was not considered practical.  The rug was compared to something found in an airport and the wall art deemed violent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The final verdict?  Andrea by a land-slide.  Matt took second place.  Goil was given what sounded like one last chance to use his most fabulous power.  Whatever that is. &lt;br /&gt;She Who's Name We Do Not Speak was allowed to stay as well.  That could only mean it was Mikey's turn to go.  The judges did not care for his three pairs of mis-matched chairs and wished he'd stopped at two.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately following the verdict and with the swell of a full orchestra behind him, Mikey addressed his minions one last time.  It was a rousing Andrew Lloyd-Webber arrangement delivered from the balcony of the Bel-Air Hotel.  &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Don't Cry For Me, Minions&lt;/span&gt; echoed softly off the hills and the local lighter-waiving minions that had gathered as their leader left with his head held high.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTIjq7xChI/AAAAAAAAAJw/9-YEwv6I79w/s1600-h/mikeyperon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RgTIjq7xChI/AAAAAAAAAJw/9-YEwv6I79w/s400/mikeyperon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5045377997707741714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for the laughs, Mikey!

Not only did he live to design another day but he finally took it...the win, that is.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week Matt will have a whole extra hour in which to squeeze out his concept for guest judge, Chef Tom (Papa Bear) Colicchio himself.

There, they were informed by Todd that their next challenge would be to design a party for Bacardí Limón.  They drew paint-chips and broke off in two teams of three.  One team consisted of Goil, Erik and Andrea while SWNWDNS, Matt and Mikey comprised the other.  SWNWDNS was not pleased and immediately complained about Michael being really difficult to work with, "No matter what you do he's going to complain very loudly about something."  Ain't that the pot calling the kettle a bitch...   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael and Andrea went off to Town &amp; Country Party rentals, Erik and SWNWDNS shopped for fabric at Pindler &amp; Pindler, while Matt and Goil sampled menu selections at Wolfgang Puck.  The following morning, Andrea and Michael arose before dawn and hit the Flower Market.  Mikey wasted no time in diving in.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfyZYZ3SGJI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/5Q5WuERsAFM/s1600-h/mikeybabyflower.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfyZYZ3SGJI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/5Q5WuERsAFM/s400/mikeybabyflower.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043074327286782098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfzCS53SGNI/AAAAAAAAAIw/0STnm7lwg7I/s1600-h/andreaerikgoil.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfzCS53SGNI/AAAAAAAAAIw/0STnm7lwg7I/s200/andreaerikgoil.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043119312774240466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The end results could not have been more different.  Andrea, Erik and Goil produced a  room that may have served its function but really wasn't terribly pleasing to the eye.  Their concepts were too abstract to execute well in the time allotted and with the $8500 budget.  What started out as a giant chandelier of Bacardí Limón bottles ended as tall shelves with exposed light bulbs in the center.  De-constructed chandelier, my ass.  It just looked like a construction site. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfzCyZ3SGOI/AAAAAAAAAI4/VAFKqmXQs6k/s1600-h/mattmichaelcarisa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfzCyZ3SGOI/AAAAAAAAAI4/VAFKqmXQs6k/s200/mattmichaelcarisa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043119853940119778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In spite of constant  bickering, Matt, Michael and SWNWDNS produced a room that was elegant, exclusive and functional.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the White Room, all eyes were once again on Kelly's train wreck of an outfit.  And what a train it was.  With a giant pink fleurchon just above the knee and enough fabric to serve as a low-tech Rumba, it was an outfit that only an artsy-crafty macaroni gluer could truly appreciate.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfzOsJ3SGPI/AAAAAAAAAJA/tmLKoYYwtCg/s1600-h/kellyfleurchon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfzOsJ3SGPI/AAAAAAAAAJA/tmLKoYYwtCg/s400/kellyfleurchon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5043132940705470706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Thank you, Angela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, in the Stew Room Goil went all Jan Brady on us and broke down.

Andrea got burned for selecting "furry" flowers.   Erik boldly took credit for the bulk of the conceptual design as well as for "the big wall".  Unfortunately, neither were well-received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spite of shirt cuffs that flared into the middle of next week, Erik manned-up and took responsibility for his team.  At one point it seemed as though it could very easily have been Andrea's turn to go but alas, 'twas little Erik and his trick eyebrow who were sent packing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Laz remains despondent to this day requiring hourly doses of &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Little Debbies&lt;/span&gt; and techno-music.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of luck, Erik.

These poor souls have been forced to exist without suitable garage facilities for far too long.  They've had to make due without a home office, theatre stage, and vehicle housing.  Their poor dog, Mac, has even had to endure the hardships of sleeping on the floor.  But by golly, that's all about to change.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSGKZ3SF_I/AAAAAAAAAHA/n-TTqTLY0-M/s1600-h/bellfamily.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSGKZ3SF_I/AAAAAAAAAHA/n-TTqTLY0-M/s400/bellfamily.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040801396234000370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bell's have miraculously acquired no less than a brand new, 2007 GMC Acadia.  The Acadia tops &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Car And Driver Magazine's&lt;/span&gt; list of needy, attention-hungry SUVs.  The designers must not only transform the Bell's garage into a cozy alcove for this attention-whore of an SUV, they must also accommodate each and every capricious whim the family can dream of.  In short, the new garage must contain office space, dog bed, ample storage, and a stage with costume storage for the kids to put on plays. Seems reasonable enough.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSGhJ3SGAI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Bf-sdNJRVHE/s1600-h/Acadia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSGhJ3SGAI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Bf-sdNJRVHE/s400/Acadia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040801787076024322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In keeping with Bravo's fine commitment to real-life scenarios, the designers were allotted two-hours in which to construct a 3D model and three minutes in which to pitch it to the family.  In the end, Andrea's superb architectural background allowed her to produce a truly outstanding model; simple yet practical but with that extra &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;je ne sais quoi&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSGzp3SGBI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/wfFYgo4CGZo/s1600-h/andreasmodel2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSGzp3SGBI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/wfFYgo4CGZo/s400/andreasmodel2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040802104903604242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrea wasted no time in delegating responsibilities.  Goil was to construct a dog bed which naturally ended up on wheels, Michael and Erik were in charge of fabrics, Ryan would handle artistic flair, She Who's Name We Do Not Speak was in charge of office space while Matt organized.

It came down to Ryan for not painting whimsical tire tracks on the walls and ceiling, She Who's Name We Do Not Speak for supposedly slacking off in the adjacent shack-turned-office and Michael for loving the color purple more than Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg combined.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSHfZ3SGDI/AAAAAAAAAHg/wC2L9NyhYV4/s1600-h/ryansketch.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfSHfZ3SGDI/AAAAAAAAAHg/wC2L9NyhYV4/s400/ryansketch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5040802856522881074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, Ryan had to pack-up his skateboard and go home.

From nearly losing a finger constructing a model in two hours to organizing mountains of stuffed animals drenched in squirrel urine. Why, who could blame Matt for wanting to get away from it all? And he couldn't have picked a better spot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, where in the world is Matt Lorenz?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THERE'S MATT!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preparing to bask in the warm Mediterranean sun at Elia Beach on the beautiful and ever-so-masculine Island of Mykonos, Greece. It appears as though Matt may be a bit overdressed and may have even forgotten to bring a bathing suit. Fortunately for Matt, that won't be a problem. In fact, when locals think of Elia Beach, bathing suits are often the last thing on their minds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yassou, Matt!  Enjoy the sun and sights! You've earned it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34049390-296926985805635045?l=lazaruswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/feeds/296926985805635045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34049390&amp;postID=296926985805635045&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/296926985805635045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/296926985805635045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/2007/03/where-in-world-is-matt-lorenz-part-deux.html' title='Where In The World Is Matt Lorenz - Part Deux'/><author><name>Laz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16234030189861360244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/Banner2.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/RfIbw53SFwI/AAAAAAAAAFM/GmsYJs27LKc/s72-c/mattlorenz_mykonos.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34049390.post-2030233957028272123</id><published>2007-03-05T13:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T23:21:44.645-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Erik Kolacz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Top Design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Two Week Hiatuses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fierce'/><title type='text'>When Designers Attack!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/ReyjOudnQHI/AAAAAAAAAE8/DvGQ1QobTGI/s1600-h/wilderik.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/ReyjOudnQHI/AAAAAAAAAE8/DvGQ1QobTGI/s320/wilderik.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038581556506476658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Why, yes.

Judges went so far as to describe it as (gasp!) Mac N' Cheese. Attempts by Michael to defend his palette proved unsuccessful. Michael was last seen plotting vengeance. A gathering of his minions from across the country briefly threatened to turn the PDC into the next Waco. National Guardsmen remain on stand-by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rd_SXFom7mI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YUEqqizzyoM/s1600-h/ryansroomep4_bear.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fn9ACCmlHSM/Rd_SXFom7mI/AAAAAAAAABQ/YUEqqizzyoM/s400/ryansroomep4_bear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5034974202514828898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Self-professed artist, wanna-be icon and sk8erboy Ryan produced a room that could only be described as where popsicle sticks go to die.

He gets a bit wacky. He starts looking at silly cat pictures. And he starts referring to himself in the third person. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As some of you know, Laz is partial to Michael Adam's antics. Michael's grown on Laz and makes him giggle. This week Michael played nicely with the other designers and didn't eat the crayons. He produced a perfectly fine room and managed to avoid using fugly afghans and the color combination of orange and green. Unlike she who's name we do not speak. Fine as Michael's room was, Laz believes it was Matt who was robbed of what should have been his first victory on the show. But that's another post...on another blog. This is about Michael. Who even after handling himself as a capable and professional designer somehow still managed to end up (if only briefly) in Laz's Photoshop cauldron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cat Geek. Michael Adams.

At the reigns are the amazing Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenowith who originated the roles on Broadway.  If you're a closeted musical theatre person who hadn't heard much about "Wicked", I strongly suggest getting a copy.  If you're gay and into the showtunes, chances are you already love it and are planning future pet's names around the characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R0fMHVXpWNw"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R0fMHVXpWNw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34049390-955448371160442317?l=lazaruswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/feeds/955448371160442317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34049390&amp;postID=955448371160442317&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/955448371160442317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/955448371160442317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/2007/02/defying-gravity-as-performed-at-tony.html' title='Defying Gravity - As Performed at the Tony Awards'/><author><name>Laz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16234030189861360244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/Banner2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34049390.post-8077535691008063262</id><published>2007-02-05T00:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-05T11:45:02.427-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Defying Gravity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wicked'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Balls of Steel'/><title type='text'>Defying Gravity</title><content type='html'>Ok, I need to preface this a bit so you know why I would subject you to Josh (aka Wickedboi).  I have loved the musical "Wicked" since I first heard the soundtrack in 2004.  Some music requires time to be fully appreciated as a piece of work but "Wicked" had me from the first listen.  As with many of "Wicked's" gay fans I related to Elphaba, who by the end of the show becomes the Wicked Witch of the West.  She is a talented and ambitious young lady who dreams of meeting the Wizard of Oz.  The Wizard, she believes can "ungreen" her. and make her more socially acceptable.  She does end up meeting the wizard but alas, the reality of the meeting fell short of her idylic fantasy.  In fact, it goes very wrong and the wizard's PR director goes into damage control mode by attacking Elphaba's credability with the townspeople and even going so far as to declare her Wicked.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of act 1, Elphaba is being hunted by the wizard's men.  Glinda is with her trying to talk some sense into her.  Elphaba is determined to defy gravity as a means of escape and urges Galinda to join her.  She doesn't.  The pivotal point of the scene is when Elphaba successfully executes her levitation spell and rises about the crowd chasing her.  The gays just go crazy at this point.  I mean, the misunderstood hero rises above those who now persecute her over lies and for being different and now thought to be wicked.  I'm misty just typing this!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So anyway, that brings me to 21yr old Josh.  I admire Josh.  I admire the balls of steel that Josh has for posting himself on youtube singing both Elphaba's part as well as that of Glinda.  The end is vocally challenging but God bless him,  he goes for it.  I don't think Josh will be the next Elphaba or Glinda but let's not forget what it took for Josh to share this with the world.  It has certainly made me giggle.  Well, I've rambled, it's late at night, heaven forbid I should actually live up to my own blog description.  So all I'll say is...Go Josh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Th9PUOZfiso"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Th9PUOZfiso" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34049390-8077535691008063262?l=lazaruswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/feeds/8077535691008063262/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34049390&amp;postID=8077535691008063262&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/8077535691008063262'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/8077535691008063262'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/2007/02/defying-gravity.html' title='Defying Gravity'/><author><name>Laz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16234030189861360244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/Banner2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34049390.post-7529323477951004443</id><published>2007-02-04T23:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-04T23:10:35.824-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Maracas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Family Guy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PBJ'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Banana Suit'/><title type='text'>It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time...</title><content type='html'>I'm evil and must be destroyed...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/areyUfCNFxY"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/areyUfCNFxY" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34049390-7529323477951004443?l=lazaruswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/feeds/7529323477951004443/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34049390&amp;postID=7529323477951004443&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/7529323477951004443'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/7529323477951004443'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/2007/02/its-peanut-butter-jelly-time.html' title='It&apos;s Peanut Butter Jelly Time...'/><author><name>Laz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16234030189861360244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/Banner2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34049390.post-7361201071990241626</id><published>2007-01-31T09:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-31T09:45:57.620-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vicious'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kittehs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stalking'/><title type='text'>When Cats Attack!</title><content type='html'>Not...repeat, NOT for the faint of heart.

It's just too good.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R.E.M.&lt;br /&gt;Nightswimming&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qx9br5ISRpo"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qx9br5ISRpo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34049390-8108002889759170017?l=lazaruswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/feeds/8108002889759170017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34049390&amp;postID=8108002889759170017&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/8108002889759170017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/8108002889759170017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/2007/01/late-night-music-ii.html' title='Late Night Music II'/><author><name>Laz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16234030189861360244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/Banner2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34049390.post-2363607587635032721</id><published>2007-01-24T01:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-24T01:36:19.319-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Musical Insomnia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chemical Brothers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flaming Lips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Golden Path'/><title type='text'>Late Night Music</title><content type='html'>I admit, I tend to obsess over songs every now and then.  If a tune hits that sweet spot, I'll listen to it ad nausem and it'll sound as good (if not better) than the first time.  I felt this one was worth sharing.  Decide for yourself.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chemical Brothers featuring The Flaming Lips&lt;br /&gt;The Golden Path&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the Chemical Brothers.  I danced endlessly under the desert sky at the Coachella Music Festival to them in my late 20's.  This song has a different feel to it than what I've come to expect from the Chemical Brothers but that's probably what makes it great it my book.  I suspect anyone who's had a near-death experience can appreciate the lyrical content.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hqiQPHa3_Y"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_hqiQPHa3_Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34049390-2363607587635032721?l=lazaruswest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/feeds/2363607587635032721/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=34049390&amp;postID=2363607587635032721&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/2363607587635032721'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34049390/posts/default/2363607587635032721'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lazaruswest.blogspot.com/2007/01/late-night-music.html' title='Late Night Music'/><author><name>Laz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16234030189861360244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q229/LazarusLA/Banner2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34049390.post-3244375437898762778</id><published>2006-12-20T01:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-20T01:44:10.634-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ozone'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiesta'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Numa Numa'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dragostea Tin Dei'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pluma Gays'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marica Tu'/><title type='text'>Spreading Gay</title><content type='html'>I realize that posting not one but three versions of Ozone's Dragostea Din Tei might brand me as a weapon of mass faggotry but dammit, its 1:32am and its whats prancing through my little gay brain at the moment.
