It's amazing that they are still unpacking, since it seems to have taken
no time at all to pack up and move :-)  And I loved the white pants!

I also noticed that the mail was amazingly fast ... even for PV.

But don't you kind of miss those spandex and lame' outfits?

>WORST DRESSED - TIE - just about everyone else

I liked Hayley's dress and "look" ... though she looked fantastic.  As 
others have mentioned, Brooke had a rotten dress on, and she often has
the best one in the group.  [Guess that's why she lives in such a modest
apartment ... she spends all her inheritance on party dresses]

You are absolutely wrong ! :-)   I really like the new "do".  Personally,
I found the color nice too, but then I get tired of blond hair [is there
an 'e' on the end of blond or not?  I feel like J Danforth Quail :-)].

And it was invitation only ... apparently enforced!  It was pretty clear 
they were there for the sole purpose of bugging Hayley.  You could 
rationalize that Terrence was there with Livi, but you wouldn't think
something like this would be a "bring the whole family" affair.  On the
other hand, what was Taylor doing there?

asks her "what happened to live and let live".  Later, Haley chews out
Terrance for bringing An Li and Terrance tells Haley to CHILL.

Just before this, it was actually a nice scene with Charlie where he tells
Erica he doesn't regret the time they spent together at all.  She asks if 
he is mad at her for dumping him at the last minute, but he isn't.  Charlie
didn't seem to mind being "used" to make someone jealous, either, but it
doesn't appear he wants to start up with E again.

This was a funny scene ... I don't remember what Ruth said, but it was 
something like it made her sick [did she use the word 'hurl'] to see
Charlie with Erica again!

My BH and I were screaming to Erica "don't go down to the docks" ... after
all the last woman who met someone there ended up in a well!
