I feel the need to report that Jacqueline has gotten Emmett hooked on watching What Not to Wear. He's forming strong opinions on wrap dresses and using a very light foundation to even the skin tone.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Well you do live in San Francisco. He's got to keep up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just make sure he knows that a peachy-pink lip gloss isn't really the best thing for everyone.

This is how city kids get hip. I remember seeing a bunch of local kids going out to prom back in the 90s and they were So Fucking Stylish.

I will make that point. "Emmett, peachy-pink lip gloss doesn't work for everybody, you know." I'll work that into my pre-game pep talks along with "stay down on the ball" and "lay off the high pitch."

And don't let him start giving Matilda a "5-minute face".

I'm not sure I can guarantee that. He does think of her as his personal object of affection/entertainment.

I think Emmett's getting a man-crush. "That jacket really makes Clinton's eyes pop."

Well, Clinton is fabulous! Stacy's kinda scary, although she does have great shoes.
That Survivor ending left me strangely unsatisfied. Still, I think I am now kinda hooked on Survivor. Like I need another reality TV show. China looks like good times.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The past few weeks haven't been so great, but this week's Charm School totally cracked me up. I found it interesting that Darra and Leilene were the two that nobody wanted -- I was thinking that they were the ones that everyone should want on their teams, for exactly the reasons that they ended up being the best team -- Darra knows how to package and promote stuff, and Leilene knows how to get customers over to the table. I thought spraying the perfume on her breasts was maybe a bit much (also, it looked like she sprayed about half a bottle -- that stuff would stink by then), though. And they really had the only good marketing idea in the bunch -- being D-list celebrities from a reality show is what will get them noticed, so use that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Survivor was strangely unsatisfying -- after the drama with Dreamz and Yau-Man in the semifinals, the last tribal council felt very much like the producers were going up to people and saying "So, can you uh, go up there and make everything, like, really really personal even though it hasn't been that kind of season up until now? We don't want it to be boring..."
And then Earl winning by a landslide, yawn.
Looking forward to China though. It's been a while since they've been out of the tropics.
