I would say “I couldn’t help myself,” but I don’t care for that expression. I could chalk it up to needing to stay plugged into pop culture as a selfless act of serious journalism, but I don’t think you’d buy it. Instead, I’ll cop to my addiction to Real Housewives of New York City, and […]
“Work of Art” works for me
It’s early yet. But so far, so good. Last evening’s debut of Bravo TV’s Work of Art: America’s Next Great Artist was not an entertainment FAIL. Nor was it a creative FAIL. In fact, Episode 1 rates a surprisingly pleasant thumbs up from this viewer. Less of a surprise was producer Sarah Jessica Parker’s arrival […]
“I can’t change. I am who I am.” Say what??
Do you believe you can change? Do you want to change – if not in a major way, then subtly – for instant gratification or something more enduring? Let’s see. There’s my messy kitchen. My disastrous closets. Oh yes, I can think of a few things I’d like to change. May I borrow from the classics […]
Reality Check
Reality, shmeality. . . it’s entertainment! And it’s June! And that means two new Reality TV shows are on the horizon. More precisely, they’re about to be sprung loose, on June 9 (Work of Art: America’s Next Great Artist) and June 10 (Bethenny’s Getting Married). It’s fabulous enough for Real Housewives of New York fans […]
It’s Complicated
Give me more Meryl. Give us all more Meryl. Oh, I don’t mean it literally, though I’m enthralled watching Meryl Streep cast in any role. And thanks to cable television, I spent much of my wet weekend catching up on films I’d never seen in the theater. I thoroughly enjoyed the Oscar winning actress in […]
Sex and the City 2: Too Much, and Not Enough
Sex and the City 2. Thumbs up or thumbs down? I’ll leave it to the experts with their proclamations of yeah or nay. And I will repeat what I said after viewing the movie. I was delighted to spend a few hours with Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda and the gang. Yet I was disappointed. I’ll […]
How to Engage With an Older Woman (And Not Piss Her Off)
Older woman, younger man. No “C” words, please.
Kitch Witch Fun (South Park Style)
Pop over to The Kitch Witch and see the total weekend awesomeness she found! Recreate yourself as a South Park character, courtesy of SP-Studio. It’s oooooo-la-la fun! Yes – c’est moi ! Beam me up Scotty… straight over to the Atlantic, hovering for a few moments over the Louvre, absolument over Centre Pompidou (art, art, […]
Reality TV. Would You Do It?
I watch about half of them. Those dreadful, embarrassing, addictive Reality TV shows. Like watching a train wreck. Can’t quite avert the eyes. What can I say? It’s my guilty pleasure. Guiltier for some than others. And the Reality TV shows I watch? Top Chef and Top Chef Masters? Definitely. I enjoy viewing with my […]
Addicted to Sex (and the City)
Last night I had to face it. The truth. My addiction. I guess as confessions go, it could be worse. So here it is. I’ll just spit it out. I am an addict. Yes – I am addicted to Sex and the City. To the series. The movies. And it’s been going on for some […]
