In other news of things we love, the show was sponsored by POMx , a new iced coffee drink by the people who perfected pomegranate juice. It was sweet and delicious. Just one problem: Soon after finishing the bottle, we were overcome with the urge to pee. Not really an ideal situation to be in you happen to be wearing the aforementioned onesie.
In case anyone was unsure, it seems like jumpsuits and onesies are seriously back in style. And Carlos Campos has a thing or three to do with it. Looking through his lineup of one-piece suits for men and women, we braced ourselves to be horrified. But the lights went down and we actually liked it. We really liked it! Our favorite (pictured) is absolutely adorable.
