Just a quick reminder that Top Design starts on Bravo tonight (10 p.m. on the east coast; as for the rest of you, I don’t know). Apparently they have retooled the show and added the fabulous India Hicks as the host. Jonathan Adler, Margaret Russell, and Kelly Wearstler will be returning as judges, and I believe Todd Oldham will be returning as a studio critic. I enjoyed the show last year but had a ton of constructive (and not so constructive) criticism to offer; it will be interesting to see how they have changed it. I hope they branch out from the PDC with some creative challenges, and that they don’t have another garage decorating challenge that is a thinly veiled advertisement for an SUV. Anyway, we’ll be dishing about the show tomorrow on decor8, so come on over and join in if you want to add your two cents.

Speaking of very obvious vehicular product placement, did anyone catch last week’s Project Runway? I was on vacation without cable so I just caught it last night. All I could think about was how ridiculously heavy my Harvey seatbelt bag is and that Korto’s seatbelt coat must have weighed about 100 pounds. It is really flippin’ cool though; I don’t think Korto has had a bad design hair day yet; she has REALLY got it going on. You might have missed it, as she seems to be a nice, normal person with normal color hair who doesn’t have diva fits, add “-licious” to the end of every word, live in a tanning bed, make snide comments about her competitors or talk about herself in the third person (Hey Suede, you sound like Jimmy on Seinfeld!).

While I’m on the topic of design tv, I have a tiny teaser from The Fine Living Network. It’s a sneak peek into their new show, Whatever, Martha, which premieres on September 16th at 9:00 p.m. Click here for clips. Alexis seems cool and well-adjusted, in spite of having a perfectionist mother. She also has really cute hair.

All right, I’m off to set my DVR.
