I was expecting the worst, like "Baby Jane" horrifying, and I was pleasantly surprised! I think Mae rocked it!
Old-lady love/hate
On Friday, the Film Society of Lincoln Center screened 1970's awful-enough-to-subvert-its-own-camp Myra Breckinridge. (I have a very complicated relationship with this movie: when I watch it, my emotional state is a perpetually motive vacillation from love to hate.) The showing was preceded by a...

"I know that's how life works – you advance by impressing a few people who have arbitrarily ascended to power – but it's also what makes life a big joke." Preach!
Thank you for helping me figure out which of these 6 episodes my TiVo recorded to watch to see you. I cannot bear to look at them all!
Toddlers and Tiaras: The aftermath
Reality TV has the reputation of dehumanizing people, but my brief experience on it was to the contrary. In the fall, I judged a Universal Royalty pageant that was filmed for Toddlers and Tiaras (read 5,000 words of my thoughts about that here). The episode finally aired this week (I was inter...
I must have heard Kelly say "Fuck you for having the best body ever" at least a thousand times this week on the RuPaul's Drag Race promos on Logo...ISSUES!
A supposedly rewarding thing I'll never do again
In the middle of 2011, I spent a week doing what is posted below: An edit test for a publication that sought me out but then didn't hire me. From what I was told, I didn't get the job because they couldn't afford me (that I never discussed salary makes me wonder if they were just letting me down...
Can't get enough of them mispronouncing "vaginal". Such experts!
Maybe my favorite thing of the year
I saw this during Everything is Festival at Cinefamily this summer and fell in love -- it's a highlights reel of a video sex advice column Heidi Fleiss and Victoria Sellers did years ago for Laugh.com. Their flippancy and tendency to give guidance that amounts to, "Get a hooker!" reminds me of...
Loved every word of it! Exactly what I want to read.
I haven't watched Fashion Police since Kelly O started in on Christina. It really spoiled the whole show for me. I wonder how awkward it will be to talk about everyone's tits now in front of Giuliana. (It's all fun and games until someone loses a boob.) I'm sure I'll be back for awards season this week, but...ugh.

Oh, and note, Scüncis®, not "scrunchies"
A very important JCPenney denim fashion show
On Thanksgiving, yet another Dancin' on Air reunion/retrospective aired on Philadelphia's local PHL17. It was very much like the first one, so I won't get too deep into rehashing, but I do think I'd be remiss if I didn't share this fashion show of gorgeous denim goods from JC Penney with you. ...
My mom bought me a very similar jacket on layaway, and then someone broke into my friend's boyfriend's mom's mini-van and stole it while we were at the Monsters of Rock concert and mom was NOT HAPPY lol

So amazing, Rich. You find and create all the best things! Your blog posts are like a constant stream of gifts.
Paz in slo mo
Over a week ago, Paz de la Huerta appeared on VH1's talk show Big Morning Buzz and she was, in a word, halting. I think it was just early for her, really, but maybe a little diva-ish as well (she was still drinking water when it came time to answer the first question and then she took even mor...
Dana, I was just about to post, "You're in Austin? I'M IN AUSTIN!"

I suppose this means I need to back out of the Kitty Pridr tag and see what you were up to :)
No trick, no treat
Unfortunately (or something), I'm breaking from tradition by not dressing my cat up for Halloween this year. I hope you have a good support system in place that will help you deal with this great tragedy. Halloween's cancelled, guys, since I can't make pop culture references by dressing my cat...
I got choked up when I saw photos of the lights on the Empire State Building. I'm a straight woman who has no desire to ever be married, I lived with a boyfriend for 7 years and after several refused proposals we broke up. That was forever ago. Ironic how this decision suddenly presents a conflict in your life you didn't have to address earlier. I can only imagine how I might be feeling tonight if I were gay. I think I'd be bitter to be begrudgingly granted the right to do something I never wanted to do. But I'm very happy for all the people who are over the moon about it. It's good to see tangible evidence that progress is being made, however slowly.

Tonight, after my boyfriend (legally, my domestic partner) cooked a wonderful dinner whose centerpiece was black cod I purchased off Gilt Taste earlier this week, we had a disagreement that led to an argument that led to me saying things I took back within minutes while we both checked our Inter...
You don't have to go south for Steak N Shake! They eventually expanded south, but they couldn't be more typically Midwestern.
