Alcoholics, Workaholics,Egomaniacs and Housewives

We've waited long enough and one can only hope that the two-hour season premiere of Mad Men is chock full of Don Draper naughtiness, Peggy under-appreciators, perfect hair and nails....and Gin...lotsa Gin.

Now, I'm no psychic and I hate trying to predict anything but this is what I'm assuming will be happening this season:

The girls will be doing this





The boys will be doing this

Mad Men two-hour season 5 premeire airs tonight!  9 p.m. ET on AMC

Conan on Jeggings

Last night on Conan's show, the awesome Tim Gunn was a guest so naturally, the talk quickly turned to fashion.
But who would have thought that Conan would ever say the word 'Jeggings' let alone know what Jeggings actually are....this is hilarious.





The priceless Jeggings dialogue:

O'Brien:   When I see women out here on the lot wearing jeggings, I just do a backflip.

Gunn:        Really?Any women? Any physique?

O'Brien:   Well, let's not go crazy. No.

Get Mad

We've waited and waited and finally Hollywood has answered our calls;  Mad Men is back for a fourth season, starting July 25th. 



















Here's what's in store for us (hopefully):

Boardroom brawls, dramatic entrances, pathetic exits and all the Pete Campbell you can take before throwing something sharp at the TV, wishing it was his head.

Peggy, the hard-working pioneer in all her gloriousness....

Booze...and broads...and a gay!  Oh, my.

Chain-smoking wives and marital problems aplenty

Joan Holloway's torpedos

The genius, loin-quivering Don Draper (you'll never get sick of looking at him)

And last but not least, the outfits....sweet Fashion Gods, the outfits!

                                 

Mad Men

Starts 10 pm EST--Sunday, July 25, 2010

Alexis Carrington does the Royal Ascot

In the 80's, no other television show had the glitz and glamour (and catfights) that Dynasty had. 

Each week, without fail, my Mom and I would sit down to an hour's worth of couture, sex and outrageous behaviour--it was a dream.

Joan Collins played Alexis Carrington; a rich bitch with a platinum card, an endless supply of hot men and a soft-spot for her ex-husband, Blake. 

Blake was happily married to Krystle Carringtion (played by Linda Evans) who I think was his tenth wife, or something like that.
Anyway, those catfights I mentioned?  There were lot's but the best ones were between Alexis & Krystle--these bitches knew how to throw a punch or two.



It was magical.

Joan Collins, now 77, comes back into the spotlight here and there but not nearly enough.  I wish someone would give her a decent show--she plays the Evil Bitch role better than anyone.
Sigh. 

Here she is, showing off her fabulous hat at the even more fabulous Royal Ascot event in England today:

She's still rocking the big, 80's sleeves--love it!

10 Reasons To Watch ALT on America's Next Top Model

André Leon Talley, Editor-at-large (no pun intended) for Vogue magazine will debut as the new judge of ANTM tonight.

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched the show—I wasn’t impressed with it since Janice Dickinson left.

However, with ALT on board, who knows what kind of shenanigans will ensue!


Here are 10 reasons why you need to watch:

1.    He just may use the word "dreckitude" which he define’s as, “the lowest point in the lowest ebb. It  could be your look. It could be your shoes. It could be that you’re standing wrong. Drek is a total, total, total hot mess."

2.    He may make a joke about that whole ‘lunch in the car’ scene that was deleted from The September Issue. Fun!



3.    There is a good possibility that a big cat fight between him and just about anyone on the panel could break out at any time. At least, that’s what we’re hoping. However, the best cat fight of all would be between ALT and Miss J. Le Sigh.

4.    He may wear a turban

5.    He could say things like, "Most of the Vogue girls are so thin, tremendously thin, because Miss Anna don't like fat people" and “there’s a famine of beauty in the U.S”  He’s very quotable.

6.    We will see, first-hand, how he gets along with Kimora Lee Simmons who is supposedly going to guest judge this season. What a mix: high-fashion vs. no-fashion.

7.    Chado Ralph Rucci is designing a different ‘cloak’ for each episode!

8.    However, there is a possibility that he could show up looking like this:

9.    One of the models will not know who he is…and he’ll have to explain.

And best of all.....

10.  He’s going to scare the shit out of conservative, homophobes across the globe!


Like you needed 10 reasons to watch!


ANTM Season Premier airs Wednesday, March 10, 2010 @ 8pm/7pm C
