This sucks!

LMN aired three episodes and then nothing for over a month. I hope I Survived returns.
What happened? How can they produce only three episodes?

I swear I thought Michelle' s was a joke. The one with the puffy sleeves reminded me of David Bowie in the Ashes to Ashes video.
The clown! That video scared me as a ten year old back in 1980 but now it's one of my favorite songs from him. Funk to funky...

I know! But yes, just the one and she didn't even look like a very big baby. She was 2 months old in the youngest picture I found of her, and she looked like a pretty normal sized 2 month old.
She must react strangely to pregnancy. Treats it like an Alien.

Pretty much hated everything. It seems to me that these judges are really lightweight with these designers. They never hammer anything. And these guys need hammering; at least in my opinion. All Stars my ass.

Bella I know, me too! I was trying to find out more info and found an interview where she says she was 7 months pregnant when they did the Wicked/couture challenge, and I also found that the baby was born in September. So maybe she does make it to the end of the show, but man, every time I see her I'm expecting not to see her the following week, or see her go into labor on camera or something.
Was it just one baby? There had to be more!

There's a Dodge commercial that just got a lot of play during the Golden Globes, and it filled me with so much rage I had to come here and post ASAP.
The commercial talks about the competitive spirit of the Dodge brothers and goes back to 1914 or so, then proceeds to show the two Dodge brothers acting like total asshats and street racing in games of chicken in some spectacularly stupid, dangerous and idiotic driving "through the years," in varying Dodge models, whooping it up, nearly killing themselves and oncomers multiple times.
The commercial ends on a surge of "uplifting" music while culminating in two Dodge models (I think the Charger and Challenger or something), then the voiceover solemnly pledges to continue the brothers' "spirit" of competition. The two brothers whoop it up again, then go zooming off to endanger thousands more farther up the road. The end.
Did this bother anyone else? Yes, it shows off the cars, but in an utterly irresponsible way. It's certainly not in the best of taste, and the whole idea that a car manufacturer is actually celebrating street racing as somehow symbolizing the company's healthy "spirit of competition" is just asinine.
I realize what I sound like. But it bugged me enough to post. (And thank you, I feel better.)
Yeah, but I'm inching further into my forties so it's getting harder to trust my judgement. But, assholes are assholes in any era.

So all those shots of swimsuit-clad models on the runway made you uncomfortable? You have my sympathies.
Different torso lengths; different waist to hip ratios; different shoulder to bust distance -- off the top of my head and I don't even sew.
Thanks, I guess. But it was in a different context.

Why is it acceptable to ogle and leer at men? That whole pool scene was so gratuitous and gross.
Thank you! I'm a guy and that started to feel a touch uncomfortable and went on a little too long. If the roles were reversed I'm certain I'd feel the same way. Guess this is a thing now. Whatever. Oink oink to both sides.

Does anyone besides me get something called El Rey? They seem to target males. They show a lot of the martial arts films from the 70s. Anyway, they are running a Miami Vice marathon this weekend. "No earth tones."
I like to watch these things for the guest stars. Bruce Willis used to have a lot of hair.
That's a great channel. They had a Godzilla marathon during Christmas. I can identify with Willis. I also had a lot of hair during the 80's. Rock on!

I can't decide if I'm being hypercritical because eHarmony is so frigging annoying, or if this spot really is a bit off. She says she's "looking for a man not only for herself but for her son". I know she means that she wants a father figure for him, but my mind goes to other places when she says that.
Yeah, what kind of family is this? Wild stuff!

Yeah, I think I also read either online or in an article that Logo is no longer specifically geared to LGBT programming. Not a surprise as, I believe, it is under the Viacom umbrella which also owns MTV and VH1, as examples. And when was the last time either played music videos (what the channels were created for)?
Add in that TLC, once The Learning Channel, is now a cesspool, A&E and Bravo went from artsy upscale programming to idiocy, the History Channel no longer really shows historical stuff, TVLand no longer shows '50s/'60s TV shows, and so on, and Logo is in a lot of company.
I hope this isn't getting too off-topic, but for me it's MTV and VH1 that really breaks my heart. I grew up watching those two networks during the 80's and 90's for music and then stopped watching for just a little bit and turn back and it's stuff that I wouldn't watch at eleven years old. Complete dumbed-down idiocy. Plus, I have no idea what's going on in music anymore. A lost forty-four year old. Who knows, maybe I don't want to know. I know they won't but these networks really should change their names. It's madness.

OMG. THat photo. That dress. That horrible, horrible, "fit": the boobs. The stomach bulge. Those nasty sleeves. Please, just frigging wear a maternity gown. Everybody knows you are pregnant. Stop dressing like you aren't. flowing can be pretty, and is more comfy.
I believe she had given birth by this point.

Today (December 19th) is Alyssa Milano's birthday. She is perfectly consistent with her styling...check out what she wore for the "Into the Woods" premiere: http://nypost.com/2014/12/12/kate-nails-it-while-alyssa-and-padma-miss-the-mark/ .
That's a very "see-through" outfit. Fashion forward!

Thank you for that link, Constantinople. Debra Miller wrote an excellent article. You can feel the weight of anger, grief, and guilt in her words and that's not something very many writers can do. Such a sad story.
I missed some parts of the episode -- was it the prosecutor's contention that the mom drugged the dad first so he wouldn't wake up? Or that she counted on him being so high that he wouldn't wake up? Clearly I need to go back and watch, because it seemed like they convicted her more by casting her as a cheating, greedy wife than anything else. Oh, and the upright milk bottles.
ETA: I liked Behind Mansion Walls, too, Rina99. There's not a whole lot I watch on ID anymore.
It's kind of hard to watch as much ID as I used to in the past. Finding anything halfway decent is a diamond in the rough. I saw the promos for next year's stuff and I got unexpectedly depressed. They're catering to a specific audience but I can't figure out who. Not me, sadly.

Good lord, Michelle is tedious. Funny that she only got "sick" after she couldn't bulldoze Samantha into making the menswear for their team. And then recovered miraculously after she was able to make an outfit that wasn't the worst thing on the runway. Horror of horrors - she had to take someone's penis into account in her design. Someone call Amnesty International- what torture she had to endure.
There was a whole lot of fug during that hour long commercial for match.com tonight. I laughed at the client who said she likes to dress "classy " and in the next breath asked for a crop top. And she got what she wanted. It was so cropped that the underside of her breasts showed when she walked down the runway.
How about the one who wanted to look like the "new' Kim Kardashian? You mean the "new" Kim Kardashian who showed her ass in front of the world? Sophisticated and elegant!
I wonder if they had planned on not eliminating anyone all along? I bet we're in for a double elimination soon. As for the clothes:
Liked
Dmitry-loved the sweater
Michelle-Looked comfortable but pulled together
OK
Sonija-Didn’t love the cutout especially for a first date, but the idiot did say she wanted to look like Kim Kardashian.
Jay-I liked the tops, even though the jacket was pink, it didn’t seem feminine. I did not like the pants material at all.
Didn’t Like
Samantha-didn’t like the crop top, the skirt was ugly, did she say she wanted to look like Kim Kardashian too?
Fabio-I hate rolled up hipster pants on guys. The top looked kind of dental. How did this look win?
Helen-Too short, too tight, too open in the back, hated the shiny material. It was way too much for a first date. How did she not get sent home?
Justin-Hi daddy!
It's so sad that my didn't like category is always the biggest.
Yeah, Helen's "dress". I know I'm getting old but that was so damn short. And I'm also a straight guy. That dress on a first date would be very interesting.

Holy crap! I just saw the skeevy K-Mart preggo gut commercial you've all been bitching about. It was on every.freaking.break during a show tonight. I'd rather see the guys playing drums on their guts or jingling their junk, thank you very much. Blech!
The thing that all these type of ads show to me is that the only important thing is to get people's attention by any means necessary. There was a commercial about some kind of cleaner where the kid tells the mother he used the toilet and the mother comes in to see for herself. Well apparently the kid went to the bathroom in the sink. Probably in about five years from now they'll actually show it. And like "torture porn" movies I really don't want to see this stuff. And I don't care how "old' I'm getting. Get off my lawn?

Someone, I think it was the resplendent Georgina Chapman, called the jumpsuit "modern". I said to the cats, "How is a 40-year-old design "modern"?
Did you see what she was wearing when she said it? Couldn't peg what time or place that outfit was from.
-
If Kate Upton was wearing that outfit, I'd follow her.
I'd follow her too. Probably to a certain death. I don't think my mind would be on the enemy.

Kate Upton can't act her way out of a paper bag, but at least they're showing a woman in position of authority. I have to worry about how much chafing her thighs are going to get, though.
Somehow I don't envision her leading troops into battle.

As a former viewer of Charmed, including the episode in which Alyssa was dressed as a mermaid and topless except for nipple covers, I can say that Alyssa has large implants with minimal movement. I'm assuming she doesn't quite have the same concerns as your average (natural breasted) woman. I was shocked when she picked the gold roller skating costume, but I forgot about Alyssa's "built in" support.
This is true. I remember "seeing" her in some erotic vampire back in the 90's. I wanted to find out what happened to little Alyssa from "Who's the Boss". I found out. Shocking.....

Indeed! You have put into words just what I've been thinking for several years now. The females are wearing what look to be cocktail (or sun) dresses and their hair cascades all around their shoulders, pageant-style. The chit-chat reminds me of happy talk that started with local TV stations back in the 80's (lots of jokes and kidding around). I guess I'm particularly disgusted with the females. A lot of female journalists endured a lot of crap back in the day to get on the air and be taken seriously and now the younger ones are up there showing off legs & thighs (thanks Katie Couric, I believe you started all this nonsense) and seem to be just full of themselves. I've always liked Candy Crowley. IMO she's "old school" when it comes to TV reporters, anchors--she's professional.
It is very strange to me how the presentation of news has changed over the past twenty years or so. Now I'm starting to see cleavage show up on some of the female news presenters. I remember when I was in high school back in the 80's teachers telling the class to watch the news for current events. Well, if the way the "news" is being "presented" today was displayed back in the day, and being a teenage boy at the time, I don't think I would be able to effectively concentrate on the info.
-
I liked the series more than I thought I would as long as we were in angel-stealing territory. More of that would be good. Less semen and urine would be great.
More angel-stealing and less semen and urine. Could be an effective philosophy. Up there with Aristotle.

This is the one part of Nina that I despise, and I love Nina. If she is partial to Helen its only because Nina believes that Helen with her pretentious hipster tattoos represents someone who is "young, hip and trendy" and so therefore the clothing she makes must also be young, hip, and trendy. It reminds me of Nina trying so hard to pray at the alter of "young, hip and cool" to the point where she won't even take note that Helen is a dope.
It's "Young, Fresh, and On Trend"!

S04.E11: Always The Bridesmaid
in Project Runway All Stars
How did Michelle become this show's pet?
