Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Podcast-wise I like:
Skepticality [link]
Berkeley Groks Science Program [link]
Science Friday (NPR) [link]
Universe Today [link]
Yes, there is sort of a theme.
I listened to a bit of Mugglecast and came away with the same age-group feeling, not for me.
I like (Project Runway) Emmett-- he's cute, smart and nice. But last episode he mentioned how hard it was for him to design a woman's dress.
That's freaking ridiculous. It should be the easiest thing to do for the people on PR. Nevertheless I really liked his dress; what gorgeous fabric he chose.
Jay totally would have won the BR challenge if the dress had been easier to make.
Although, they only made 200 of the Wendy Pepper dress.
I'll have to check those out, Gud.
And I need to remind myself to scan iTunes store for some Lou Rawls when I get home.
By this point, IIRC, Jay had created that brilliant Banana Republic Art Deco dress
I think this design was the best PR ever had; Santino's dress this week was an ill-proportioned imitation.
Wendy's BR dress was stupid, I thought (who the fuck would wear that cape), but I thought she did redeem herself with the Nancy O'Dell dress.
I think the Berkeley guys are kinda annoying until they get to their guests, but the guests are often pretty good.
Really? I hated the Nancy O'Dell dress!
Which was the Nancy O'Dell dress? I fergit.
That Nancy O'Dell dress was very much like a babydoll negligee, IMO. The color was nice, but the rest of it--bleah.
ION, the NYT has an interesting article on cat evolution, complete with adorable kitty pic.
I wish that they had a family chart with that article. I love "frugal displays of affection" -- although that doesn't really describe my Ivan.
With each migration, evolutionary forces morphed the pantherlike patriarch of all cats into a rainbow of species, from ocelots and lynxes to leopards, lions and the lineage that led to the most successful cat of all, even though it has mostly forsaken its predatory heritage: the cat that has induced people to pay for its board and lodging in return for frugal displays of affection.
(Bold mine)
Is the PR finale during fashion week or after?
