Hey, everybody! So, we’re back with original recipe Project Runway, but with some changes! First, no Michael Kors. NO MICHAEL KORS. I don’t know what to do with this. No. Michael. Kors. No Queen Tangerine spouting things like, “Slutty, slutty, slutty!” Oh, well. We’ll move on. But this version is also an all-teams version, designed to extract MAXIMUM DRAMA. Lovely. Well, I’d say more, but I’m in a rush, darlings. At 8pm Eastern is the Road to the Runway introduction to all the designers and at 9 EST, the season begins. So join us in the comments as we drink and snarky our way through season 11! Continue reading

Well, anyone other than George Lucas directing the new Star Wars: Episode VII is a better choice than George Lucas shooting Jar Jar Binks into space again, but how do we feel about J.J. Abrams? More importantly how do we feel that Ben Affleck was in contention and Joss Whedon was never, ever going to do it, ever, it seems? NOOOOOOOOO! Continue reading
As of Sunday, retailers may start charging consumers a “checkout fee” when making purchases with a credit card. That’s right. For the privilege of paying with credit, your favorite shop may have the option of charging you for the convenience. Continue reading
Your friend, your cousin, your boss, your next-door-neighbor has just suffered one of the commonest calamities of life: being dumped. Do you say anything? And if so, what do you say?
As many times as you’ve heard and read and learned that “I’m sorry” is always okay and always welcome, it feels somehow inadequate. Well, here’s the thing, nothing you can say is truly adequate. That is why it can be so difficult to say anything at all. But we try, oh do we try. And often, we screw up. Continue reading
On Wednesday, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) said that the focus of the Obama administration during President Obama’s second term will be the annihilation of the Republican Party.
That’s a pretty hefty claim, so I decided to look at what the President actually said and see how it measures up to Speaker Boehner’s claim. Continue reading
My husband and I have been married for almost 9 years and we have never gone on a proper honeymoon. We’ve been lucky that we have gone on a few snow vacations out West, and we go visit my family in Panama every few years, but we decided to start putting away some money so we can go on a mini vacation/honeymoon. The problem is that there are too many options: do we go to an all-inclusive in the Caribbean where we can lay on the beach for a few days and order drinks that come with mini-umbrellas? Do we go somewhere fun in the US we’ve never been to before, like Chicago? Do we go back to New York, Key West, or San Francisco? Continue reading
Growing up in the McBoy household there were a lot of rules, most of which disappeared when I turned 15. Some were good and made sense to a child others still stick in my craw.
The two rules that still bother me the most involve television. One was that TVs were not allowed in the bedroom. Til the day my father died, he refused to have one anywhere outside of the living room. It’s so ingrained in me that as an adult I have never had a television anywhere but in the living area of any of the houses or apartments I have lived in. Continue reading
