Project Runway Season 11 Finale Live Blog

project-runway-26We come to it at last, the great battle of our time.

No, it’s not the battle between Mordor and the world of Men. Rather, it’s the battle between Daniel, Patricia, and Michelle for Fashion Supremacy (or, ten more minutes of relative “fame”).

We finally get to see the collections they’ve designed for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (You have to say “Mercedes-Benz” or it’s not really Fashion Week). I’m sure there will be a lot of hideousness walking that tent (which, as I understand, will be set far away from the rest of Fashion Week, so as not to upset the delicate sensibilities of actual fashion designers).

Dispatches from Ponyville: One Man’s Journey Into the World of Bronies

poniesRecently, adult male fans of Hasbro’s “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic”, (MLP:FIM) colloquially referred to as “Bronies”, and their female equivalents, known as “Pegasisters”, have garnered the interest and attention of the media, or at the very least the internet. As I was reading the various articles about the phenomenon, I found myself fascinated at how the residents of 4Chan, generally agreed upon as the worst people on the internet, had become enthralled by a cartoon about ponies aimed at pre-teen girls.

“Intro To Knots” Community Season 4 Episode 10 Liveblog

Singing In the Rain
The Return of Foot Fetishist Cornwallis

So here we are with episode 10, which is the season’s Xmas episode (thanks for delaying it Ennn Beee Seee.)  This week’s episode synopsis (from wiki):  Community Season 4 Episode 10 “Intro to Knots” – Jeff (Joel McHale) organizes a lovely holiday gathering at his apartment but Annie (Alison Brie) secretly invites Professor Cornwallis (recurring guest star Malcolm McDowell), to get in his good graces. When it becomes apparent that Professor Cornwallis intends to give them a bad grade on their joint History paper, the atmosphere quickly deteriorates and the group takes decisive action.

I thought last week’s muppet episode was quite entertaining especially the hallucinogenic berry scene with Brad Pitt wigged Jason Alexander (and the fact Britta was holding.)  Apparently, this is one of the episodes done after Chevy Chase’s uncomfortably racist comments and subsequent dismissal from the show.  Chevy’s lines were recorded as part of his agreement with the producers.  It’s Merry Xmas, Community fans.
