Driven to Distraction
I have dreams and goals and stuff to do around the house. These are the things this week that kept me from getting to any of it.
Top Design: I (Heart) Goil

Okay, I’m totally digging the new Bravo series “Top Design” although I think it should be called “Goil and Friends”. But more on that later.
For starters, “TD” serves up lots of glamour shots of my fair city, Los Angeles. Before “Top Design”, I had to make do with “The L Word” trying to pretend Vancouver was LA and not always doing a convincing job. The headquarters of “Top Design” is the is-it-beautiful-or-is-it-an-eyesore Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Until “Top Design”, my memories of the PDC were pretty much negative; one time I got deathly ill there on a date and practically had to be carried out. Another time, a friend insulted another friend leaving me with a huge “friend mess” to try and clean up in the parking structure.
“Top Design” is giving me happy associations of the PDC and I appreciate that.
By the way, the PDC parking lot is where people pay to park if they’re going out clubbing in West Hollywood. Because of this, I think a fun challenge would be for the designers to have to incorporate vomit from just-legal party boys who had a few too many at Rage into a design scheme.

I had the privilege of knowing Goil and even going on a date with him in the mid-90s. It was one I'll never forget!! He is one great guy -- exactly the way he is in person as he is on TV.

Goil has a mom-in-law? Well, knowing that will certainly take my enjoyment of seeing his creative, smiling, sparkling, sexy fine self every week. I was gonna try to maintain the delusion that he might meet me and fall in love for the whole season. Seriously, folks, if he's anything like he seems...I'm in (unrequited) love!

I love Goil's designs as well,and have been rooting for him since episode 1. Plus my partner and I are allowing each other to maintain crushes on him as well; I don't know who(unforgiveably)causes him to cry in the next episode, but I'll gladly kick their butt for him!

Goil is a talented designer. Who can not appreciate his infectious energy and the modest way that he displays his intelligence. Although he is a true and fair competitor, he can fall prey to the stress of a deadline; the achille's heel of every designer. I wish him the best.
