"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Heh.

I don't watch Dance Moms because I can't bear it. But I, um, read the recaps. But I haven't seen Miami.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Ooooh, recaps! Where? I would love to read someone else ripping on Dance Moms.

And I totally get not being able to deal with the shows because all the adults on them are hideous and those poor kids are all going to need years of therapy. I have no defense for my bizarre love for these shows other than morbid curiousity. And the fact that some of the kids are actually really, really talented. That little Maddie on Dance Moms is a superstar. She's ridiculous.

Here you go. [link]

Now you know my dirty secret, where I go for trash tv juiciness, without, you know, having to watch it.

I would have posted it quicker, but I got sucked in reading Sister Wives recaps.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think I was under the influence of ... something. It occurred to me there could be a sort-of reality show - Real Housewives of Dune (may your manicure chip and shatter!).

I need to figure out what I was on and get more of it.

I really liked the way that it was about the music, not the way the singers look or dance. The judges were solid, had good criticism, and were really helpful in the singers' development.
