This two-part drama tells the story of Tom McConnell, a handsome young executive of Arrow [...]

Project Runway, S05 E03: Bright Lights/Big City Last week on Project Runway, Wesley’s discovery that short + tight + shiny = cheap earned him a ticket home, while Suede’s insistence on talking about himself in the third person did not automatically disqualify him from winning the challenge. This week, the designers find inspiration in New York [...]

I’ve been saving up a bunch of YouTube videos with the intention of posting them, but then keep forgetting. The fact that I finally acquired a Wii this week might have something to do with my forgetfulness, I fear. Still, in the interest of helping you waste time on a Friday afternoon, this week’s Friday [...]

Project Runway S05 E02: Grass Is Always Greener Last week on Project Runway, Jerry explored the possibility of serial killer chic and was the first one sent packing.

Today, guest poster Alexis Kienlen shares her unexpected addiction to Jon and Kate Plus 8. I remember the first time I saw it.
