The Adventures of AquaMatt & Ed

Sadly, no one suspected that stress and paint fumes had taken their toll on Matt until it was too late.

Way to hang in there, Ed. You're Matt's hero!

Where In The World Is Matt Lorenz?

Let's give it up (as it were) for our boy, Matt! Not only did he live to design another day but he finally took it...the win, that is.

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. And if you've seen the previews, it looks as though Matt's gonna be sweating and pounding on his faux leather floor for every second of that hour!

So, where exactly is Matt Lorenz?

THERE'S MATT!

Craning his neck and gawking about in Dwangthawee Plaza as he takes in all that Bangkok, Thailand has to offer. Go slow, Matt. Take your time. Maybe have a Heineken at Balls, the Sports Bar. Perhaps a frothy latte at Dick's Café.

We'll be here when you get back...

Where In The World Is Matt Lorenz - Part Deux

This week our intrepid travelling hero endured hardships no one as fabulous as he should have to so much as dream of. 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.

So, where in the world is Matt Lorenz?

THERE'S MATT!!

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.

Yassou, Matt! Enjoy the sun and sights! You've earned it!

New Top Design Segment - Where In The World Is Matt Lorenz?

Welcome to the first installment of what will hopefully become a recurring segment.

So, where in the world is Matt Lorenz?

THERE'S MATT!!

On the festive corner of Castro and Market.

Where will that silly devil turn up next? Tune in next week and find out!

Separated at Birth?

Laz has no business checking Top Design-related blogs or Photoshopping after midnight. He gets a bit wacky. He starts looking at silly cat pictures. And he starts referring to himself in the third person.

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.

Cat Geek. Michael Adams. Separated at birth? You decide...
