    Snark Talk: Home, Home on the (De) Ranged

    in The Pioneer Woman

    Addition.

    Three of my girlfriends and I drove up from OKC one Friday before Christmas (about 2 hours). We arrived at about 11:00 am. There was already a two hour wait for lunch. We went into the Mercantile. It is huge. The building is beautiful. It really is. I was literally shoulder to shoulder with shoppers. We were in there about an hour and there was a checkout line of 20 to 30 people at all times. The coffee bar and bakery are on the second floor with a large area filled with tables, chairs and sofas. I was trying to think of a way to describe it and I believe the best way is Anthropologie with a western theme.  Her measuring cups, spoons are very similar to that style. Her clothing (mostly tops like she wears)and jewelry area was almost picked clean. She has her dishes there for sale, lots of kitchen stuff, all her cookbooks and some others - Smitten Kitchen, Ina, Chrissy Teigen, to name a few.  The whole back of the building is a wrapping station with custom Pioneer Woman wrapping paper (floral like she uses at the top of her blog).   I noticed an old former hotel building across the street was being gutted and redone. We wondered if she was the owner and was putting in a hotel as well. We missed her by one day. She was evidently there all day Saturday.  Thank God we weren't there then. It was crowded enough.

    We went down the street and ate at a local diner which was really good. All the little eating establishments downtown were packed with customers also. They are probably thrilled to get her overflow.

    She has a guest book to sign. On the two pages I saw I counted 21 states represented (and England and Australia).

    Anyway FYI.

    I was most disappointed in Laurence. I would have not recognized any of those designs as her. Maybe she should stick to leather.

    Tim Gunn bowling was far and away the best part of the show.

    in Fargo

    Anyone else curious who the "Undertaker" might be - showed on the previews the Kansas City mob boss telling Mike that he was going to send the Undertaker if he didn't get things in hand.

    S14.E14: Finale, Part 2

    in Project Runway

    Eh - I've watched every season and I'll continue to do so.  I've not always agree with the winner.  That being said, I didn't fall in love with any of the collections so to me it was a roll of the dice.  Did see Ashley on Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe and Kelly Osborn was almost orgasmic over the win.
