Jesus fucking christ you are the goddamn PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF. Or hire better handlers! CHRIST!
I hate myself so much for thinking this sounds awesome.
I do not think this sounds awesome. I think it sounds like death.
And, to end on the exact opposite of a light note: the number of Americans who filed for bankruptcy last year increased 38 percent from 2006.
And hey, by the way, home prices dropped 14% in the first three months
of this year, oil prices continue breaking records, and the building
you're in right now is literally on fire.
Well, this pretty much tears it: Project Runway has just jumped the shark. After four seasons of somehow getting inexplicably better, Harvey Weinstein took the steps necessary to insure that Runway would forfeit its artistic and cultural currency by performing a series of shady closed-door deals leading to the show landing on the Lifetime network. Fears that the show would become lame, strengthened by the announcement of two spinoffs and existing knowledge of the Lifetime network, were today confirmed by news that while Weinstein will be taking the show to Lifetime, he will not be taking its producers with him. One can only assume then that the show will retain its branding but will be influenced by its new production team to tackle issues more engaging to its demographic ("Your next challenge: create a look based on the inspiring tale of Judy Thompsonsteiner, who overcame adversity and learned to read at the age of 47"). Our only hope is that Tim Gunn is still Tim Gunn and so whatever happens it can't be a complete wash.

New York Magazine's Daily Intelligencer blog nails my exact feeling upon seeing "Kristin," nee Ashley Youmans, plastered all over the print media this morning; I really expected her to be some wasted 40-year-old hag, not a kind of sweet, kind of cool looking girl three years my junior. This highlights the important difference between "high-priced call-girl" and "truckstop hooker" that is so often overlooked.
In fact, my only thought not represented here is her more-than-just-passing resemblance to Lisa Edelstein, portrayer of Laurie, high-priced call-girl to the Washington power elite on The West Wing. This is weird, you have to admit.
In other news: "Only the lobbyists??" How badass is that! I knew Andria was right.
