I love how they're mixing up the format of the show -- this woman got her self-esteem lesson (or whatever) from Benny Ninja! Hilarious.

That was awesome! The show still seems awkward and stilted but I loved seeing her in the fancy dresses. I was Very Jealous!!!

And I am really feeling the need to thoroughly clean out my closet.

Ken Burn's The War gets a bad review in The New Yorker

I'm not surprised. I don't see his style working very well with a story that has already been told visually so many times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am so excited about the new season of Beauty and the Geek! This show is so nice.
