I learned from everything. I knew that I chose the wrong fabric for the pants and they were cute pants, I love them. I didn’t like the top at all. I did not want to walk out on the runway. So it was hard, but it was really okay too. Have you seen the episode yet? Michael had some really nice things to say about you after your elimination. Oh no, I didn’t see it yet.
