But the remaining Season 2 artists – Kymia, Lola, Sara J, Young, and Dusty – enjoy a bit of train travel to the small New York town of Cold Spring for this latest challenge.

Work of Art? Work in Process. Episode 7 (Child’s Play).
It came to me in my sleep. Oh, it was hardly a revelation. But it was some sort of clarity. Hmm. Sleeping. Was I channeling Miles? Work of Art Episode 7 may have been titled Child’s Play, but it should have been called Infancy. And that’s the perfect metaphor to address this show in its […]
Buzz
Buzz over a celebrity engagement. Buzz over bad behavior. Buzz over a new gadget, or political scandal. Hello Levi and Bristol? Mel Gibson? The iPhone4?

Read some of the thread here, including comments from one of the potential contestants. Hmm. Are they looking for real talent, or quirky characters? Or a bit of both? Would Rodin make the casting cut? Would they tell […]
Reality rocks! (I need an intervention.)
I’m an educated woman. Accomplished. Cultured. But I also have a secret. I’m hooked on Bravo TV. No, not the whole line-up! But one or two of its reality shows caught my fancy right away, and several others have grown on me like ivy on a brick wall. It’s time to come out of the […]
