Project Runway

Ooooh, Miss USA! She's from Tennessee (oy, is she ever from Tennessee!)! She's cute! And southern! And going to wear the winner's dress at Miss Universe!

I of course immediately thought that Kayne had a massive advantage. I appreciated that he didn't start crowing - he was very reserved and actually seemed a bit ... cowed? overwhelmed? by the challenge.

It's about time...

So my computer finally told me her name. It's Eloisa. The process went something like this:
I mentioned her lack of a name to Jeremy the other day and he suggested "Weezy" (because apparently she should wheeze? She whines and makes a jet-engine noise, but no wheezing).
"Weezy" led of course to Louise.
Louise led to Eloise. (Did you know that they two names are unrelated? Eloise is French, meaning smart/intelligent; Louise is old German, meaning warrior goddess).
Eloise, however, is ciaweth's cat. Can't name my computer Eloise lest I ultimately end up calling it Stinky (Eloise -> SmellyLouise -> Stinky).
And so she's Eloisa. Which appears to be just a horribly culturally-insensitive Spanification of Eloise, at least as far as resident expert nenie could guess.

But she has a name.
