    Great ideas, lovely gals but oh the camera movement makes is motion sick. Can you something about holding the camera more still?

    Great episode, the Compai girls were adorable and funny and I'll definitely use this idea.

    Wow, I reaaally like that idea! I might try the necklace actually, I love the concept!
    Good episode, thought the music was a bit loud and distracting during the begining.
    Love ya

    Loved the episode - it was cool to get advice from the pro's!

    Just a little thing though - does Rob know that showing two fingers in that way (demonstrating that there are two machines in the giveaway competition) is swearing in the UK? Rob just gave a British equivalent of the bird to all us Brit watchers! Honest mistake, I'm certain ;oP

    I love you Compai girls!

    I am totally making one of these in preparation for the summer to come.

  • Andie Jayne (guest) wrote on August 20, 2:12 pm

    Is it just me or does it seem like Rob isn't a natural curser? He reminds me of the little junior high boys who aren't quite used to naughty language ;)

    Awesome tank top, I'm thinking I'll try the same thing but with trangles. Triangles are so hard core.

  • pigglewiggins wrote on August 20, 8:48 pm

    That was entertaining. And yes, triangles would be great. And not having to use store bought interfacing is going to save money!

  • Kugimudlo wrote on August 26, 3:45 am

    that tip was sick! i wanna try it out! cool!

  • Havaday (guest) wrote on September 1, 1:24 am

    Love the interfacing idea, so resourcefull!!!
