Launch My Line ruins Christmas for me by airing a new episode on December 23rd when I'm trying to enjoy precious family time! But since I'm at my parents' house, I get to watch it in ~HD~. So these outfits had better not be horrible. There are just 28 hours to go until the launch, but that doesn't stop everyone from wasting time consuming breakfast carbs. Galina talks to Lady Jumpsuit, who is wearing a purple headband that matches her sleeves. Clearly, she has learned nothing. Tressa interviews that Lady Jumpsuit has a good vision and she just needs to bring that "into garments that other people can understand." How about Lady Jumpsuit understands that her clothes are butt-ugly and the reason why no one dresses like her is because no one wants to, so why on Earth would anyone want to buy a line of clothes based on them?
DSquared2 saunter in. They look even creepier in HD than they do in SD. They say that this week, the teams will be creating an asymmetrical outfit for a night on the town. Louanna is happy about this, because her line is all about asymmetry. As is her face, so it all makes sense. DSquared2 continue that they'll have their models' measurements, not like that means anything as we saw last week when the real models differed quite a bit from the measurements they supplied. I say no more lying models! As the time ticks down, DSquared2 say it's time to get their inspiration, which they'll need to keep an open mind because "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." We cut immediately to Lady Jumpsuit sneering away to prove this point.
The contestants enter a large room full of very modern furnishings and/or art pieces. Lady Jumpsuit is wearing a necklace that says "cancer" on it. Okay, even if that was your astrological sign, would you really want to wear it on a necklace like that? DSquared2 say this art is not their inspiration. Instead, a bunch of people walk in and take their clothes off. OH COME ON. Really? On the one day that I have an HDTV, this show has a bunch of "normal" people take their clothes off? And how come all the women are young and have good figures while the men are ... uh ... not? Like, there's one guy there who is probably working as a Santa in the mall right now. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Kathy asks. IT GETS WORSE! While they blur out the front bits, the back is there for all of us to see. So now I get to see the fat old guy's butt. In HD. Merle reveals that she was a nude model in college. DJ Eric says that Dandy seemed to be enjoying the view. Um, no. I'm pretty sure there's nothing there for Dandy to enjoy. DSquared2 say the contestants will be getting their inspiration from the nude body. Shape, color, or, as DSquared2 say while staring creepily at one male model's blurred area, "elongated lines." Oh, and each contestant has to choose one of the models. DJ Eric doesn't want to get one of the men. No one wants the old guy. Once the models have been selected, they go off to different parts of the room and use the furniture there as props to pose on for the contestants. I hope they disinfected that place as soon as shooting wrapped.
