Angela Chase didn’t really dress that cool
November 13th, 2008 by Sarah Morrison
Blah blah My So-Called Life. Those in high school then loved it. Those in high school now love it. Blah blah Jordan Catalano. Blah blah Angela Chase is a style icon. But, that’s the thing. She really wasn’t. She didn’t wear anything interesting or note-worthy. I think she seems to get credit now from the I-was-born-in-the-1990s set. But, the true fashion icon of My So-called Life and 1990’s TV in general is hands-down Rayanne Graff.
Her mom dressed really cool too.
Back to your internetz!
Stylista is so gross, I can’t stop looking
November 7th, 2008 by Christine Whitney
In an effort to fill the void that was left in my Wednesday nights after cockatoo Dee made off with the Shear Genius title and all my faith in humanity, I watched Stylista last night online. You know, that new CW/Elle collab where Nina García hatah Anne Slowey acts mean and a motley group of aspiring ‘fashion icons’ make her breakfast and try on outfits while vying for a fake job at Elle.
Sounds just like how I got my job at Missbehave! Me and Maude and Olivia fought to find the best pair of stripper boots for Samantha’s Halloween costume, and yelled at each other while making pancakes for Lesley Arfin. Actually that’s a lie– Sam bought her own stripper boots, and Lesley buys her own breakfast.
When tv is like a movie
November 3rd, 2008 by Sarah Morrison
I like movies better than TV because they are longer. I like being distracted from my own life as much as possible and for as long as possible. So with that said, my favorite thing in the world is watching 13 hours of TV aka an entire television season. It is like watching a day long movie. So here is to complete seasons of tv and my inability to want to leave the house!
Dexter and Damages both work really well in this fashion.
Strong Medicine Is Still Awesome
October 31st, 2008 by erika the commenter
Strong Medicine was pretty much the shit back in the day. In high school, it was always the same schedule…come home, get a Swiss Cake Roll, neglect my homework, watch Strong Medicine. There was not only sex and rape but also hot nurses, weed, free clinics, and a chick that got became a virgin all over again.
Pretty much this show kicked ass. Plus they said words that I would giggle at like hymen, penis, and prostate. So I sort of forgot about this show circa ‘06 when it stopped coming on but then my apt got fancy cable and now I can watch it every day on the Lifetime Real Women network!
Someone please tell me they remember Strong Medicine and then let’s chat about how uber amazing it was.
An ode to Jimmy Kimmel
October 30th, 2008 by Sarah Morrison
Late night tv is kinda crappy these days. I feel like while bitching and moaning about Letterman and Conan and how none of those shows are really funny, people forget about Jimmy Kimmel. He and Guillermo and his uncle Frank and cousin Sal and things like Sarah Silverman upside down in chairs. And it is always funny. Because Jimmy Kimmel is funny and brilliant. And that is all.
