  1. Clearly reflecting my age, but hey: that make-up artist is Kathy Jeung from George Michael's ex-girlfriend and vixen from his I Want your Sex video! https://www.instagram.com/p/BOfU4U7BlHf/
  2. Not that I'm overtly in Jane's camp, but for point of reference: Many moons ago while in France with four classmates as part of a student exchange trip, we cobbled our francs (pre-Euro) together and purchased a gateau au chocolat from a patisserie. Cake in hand, we opted to have an impromptu picnic and headed to a waterside park. Very european and romantic, no? One small detail overlooked: no cutlery. Thus, we just started digging in with our hands and scooping out hunks and shoveling them into our mouths. At this point, we realized that the cake was *heavily* dusted with cocoa, to the point that had brown dust all over our faces, arms, clothes, and hair. And no napkins. So, after the cake was demolished, I elected to do what any clever young 17-year old might do, and ambled down to the riverside to cup the water in my hands and have a crude wash-down. Except, clever 17-year old me misjudged his balance, and proceeded to tumble into the river. Thankfully, not treacherously deep, but enough to provide an adequately embarrassing drenching. So, in comparison, it really didn't look like Jane had *that* much cocoa on her cakes.
  3. Am I the only one who saw the episode title and thought of something else entirely?
  4. Alas, if anyone *named* Toyota were ever to become a hamster, she would immediately become my favorite.
  5. Aw, it wasn't *that* bad. If I'm going to watch an ANTM alumna star in something on my screen, I'd pick this ten times over the Whitney Houston biopic. Or Wheel of Fortune (right, Jenascia?)
  6. Ah, yes. I was in the same boat. Wednesday nights at 8 pm CST in fall 1993, you could walk through all five floors of our dorm and hear the entire episode clear as day from the halls since so many of us had it on. Truly a communal viewing experience!
  7. Season 1 will always have a soft space in my heart, if only for the thinly veiled insinuations of lesbianism that Blair throws at Cindy in the first episode. Now *that* could have taken the show in an entirely new direction. And let's not forget Helen Hunt smoking pot with Sue Ann. (Which was a few years before Helen Hunt smoking angel dust and jumping through a second story window in an ABC afterschool special... but that's off topic.)
  8. Ina and children generally don't mix. Let's not forget one of my personal favorites, Cooking with Tess. Poor, sweet, helpless 13 year-old Tess gets the privilege of helping Ina make lunch for her and her mother (since she is an *amazing* baker, we're told). However, Ina has essentially assembled most of the lemon meringue tart at that point, leaving only the task of piping on the rosettes of whipped cream. Tess limply squeezes out one blob out of the pastry bag that clearly doesn't meet Ina's specifications, so Ina swoops the bag away from Tess and finishes the damn thing herself!
  9. This all eluded my very innocent six year old awareness at the time, but watching them now on ESPN Classic, it is so very apparent how coked up many of the contestants (prime examples: Heather Thomas, Greg Harrison) really were while filming this. I considered chalking up Debbie Allen's behavior to this as well, but I suspect *that's* just the way she is.
