SAN FRANCISCO, BITCHES! Hakkasan Restaurant and Lounge Bar, San Francisco We’re ready for some cool lighting and hot men. We are so ready for some Kors up here in this joint. Look at the three of them. He looks like he’s being kept after school by the hot German teacher and the...

Lots of stories being told through color this episode. And since it’s 1968, costume designer Janie Bryant had a whole lot of colors to work with. Curiously, she chose to focus mostly on two.   Standard middle class suburban wear. No one’s really wearing the latest anything in...

It’s funny. We didn’t realize until last night that somehow we got it in our heads that no one from this group could be eliminated. Believe us, there’s at least one person in this foursome we would love to see get eliminated, but somehow we just assumed that Ru would allow...

“Why can’t you just follow the rules?” That was Pete, helpfully pointing the audience toward tonight’s theme, but also voicing (in a highly conformist, Pete Campbell kind of way) their possible frustration and annoyance with Don and the prospect of watching yet another...

London!   Paris!   Berlin!   Barcelona!   Bullshit! Feh. We don’t even want to talk about it because it was such obvious bullshit designed to punish a frontrunner and inject some melodrama into the proceedings. It was blatantly, obviously unfair and it completely...

Pack your caftans and your coke mirrors, darlings! We’re jetting off to sunny MOROCCO! Where we intend to sit in a cool, dark bar and eye-sex strangers.   Le Bar Italien at La Mamounia, Marrakech, Morocco We are so there, bitches. Also, Lifetime has something they want to tell you:...

Onwards. Part one of this episode’s Mad Style is here and our initial episode review is here.   Once again, Sally stands out in a scene. In the living room, she was the only one in a brilliant blue, while the other women wore pink, red, or white. Here, she’s a focus-pulling...

…And we’re back. And boy, are we ever happy and excited to be back here. Before we get started, we’d like to be a little self-serving and obnoxious. When we first came up with the idea of Mad Style and wrote the first couple of entries, Tom said to Lorenzo, “I’m...

Nerd-kittens, here are pictures of Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman on location shooting Doctor Who. We’re offering them to you as a way of saying we’re sorry for not getting to a review of the last episode and also because they’re kind of cute and charming.   Matt...

It just occurred to us that we really haven’t addressed something of grand importance in the world of RPDR and it’s time we did so.   White Pit Crew should never have shaved. And his tats are kind of goofy-looking. Black Pit Crew looks perfect, as always.   Storm. His...

“Life will eventually end and someone else will get the bill.” “The whole life and death thing, it doesn’t bother me.” “What did you see when you died?” “My mom’s dead.” “I like the case. It looks like a coffin.” Well, one thing’s for sure: the fatalism that defines the show...

  Okay, they didn’t set the designers on fire, like we predicted. Maybe they should have, because this was kind of a dull episode. But of course you’re going to have a dull episode when the challenge is “Make a pretty dress for Nina’s magazine.”   And...

We’re in the mood for something cozy, intimate, and very New York. Walk this way.   Experimental Cocktail Club, New York City Comfy seats! We’ll go start a tab. Let’s all resolve to order something new tonight, okay? Guest judge Jordana Brewster, Nina Garcia, Zac Posen...

“In the Season 6 two-hour premiere ,’The Doorway,’ Don spearheads a new campaign, Roger gets some unsettling news, and Betty takes in a houseguest.” Ah, hilariously vague Mad Men episode descriptions. How we’ve missed your ridiculousness. Okay, we’re...

We suppose the opening minutes provided a clue as to how this episode was going to go.   We didn’t love the sharing circle idea, just because it’s one of those goofy challenges that doesn’t really have anything to do with drag, as far as we can tell.   Oh, sure;...

While it’s always fun to have the Doctor come roaring back into our lives, this episode gnawed a little at the edges of our brain and we couldn’t quite figure out why until the end of the episode and a sense of deja vu settled over us. The Doctor has a new mystery on his hands and...

Last night’s season 3 ender was a tension-filled hour with plot advancement, good character moments, and a death that was supposed to make us cry but didn’t. If we were the types to give letter grades to TV shows, we’d probably settle on a strong “B” for this...

We’ll put this challenge on the pile with the rest of them under a sign that says “vaguely explained.” After all, “wearable art” can mean just about anything to anybody, and it’s not like the judges on this show are known for their consistent application of...

Darlings, we’re feeling the need for something expansive and brightly lit tonight. So naturally, our thoughts turned first to the Czech Republic. Tom’s Bar at the Augustine Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic. Join us, won’t you? Guest Judge Tracy Reese, Nina Garcia, Rachel Roy, and...

Watching this episode last night with a guest who doesn’t normally watch the show, an interesting conversation arose. “I don’t understand what everyone’s doing,” said our guest, not unreasonably. “Oh,” we said. “That’s easy. There’s...

We spent the first twenty minutes of this episode SUPREMELY pissed off, as we were expected to sit there and watch the de facto “hero” of this story struggle with a moral question that really shouldn’t have been a struggle at all: Should he hand over an ally, and someone who...
