We’re big gays who do gay things and see the world through gay eyes, so you’ll have to forgive us if we sometimes go light on the details with this show, except in those instances when something really imprints itself on our brains. So Lucky sticks his gigantic swinging penis in...

We’re nothing if not master procrastinators. We said we’d have a piece up about HBO’s Boardwalk Empire before the next episode aired and we have; getting it in under the wire with mere hours to spare. Originally we figured we’d do a The Story So Far… type of...

April announced that the inspiration for this collection was “broken down dolls,” which is of a piece with her aesthetic. Michael Kors told her there was no joy in her work but frankly, we think he sounded a bit like an out-of-touch middle-aged queen. Not that we have our finger...

As we said in the previous installment of Mad Style, we feel like our best work in this series is behind us and we’ve said just about everything there is to say, at least when it comes to the female characters. Because this is the last episode for a distressingly long time, we chose to...

Poor Faye Miller. Never was a character so sorry to be so right. She’s smart and perceptive and trained to read people, so when she told Don back at Christmastime that he’d be remarried within a year, she probably should have stuck with her original instincts and stayed far away...

We have to admit something. For us, it feels like we’ve done our best work with the Mad Style series and now we’re at that brief period after the finals have been graded but before the last day of the school year. With the last few entries, we didn’t feel like we said...

As the remaining designers get eliminated from Project Runway, we’ll take a look each week at the auf’d designer’s decoy collection.   Part of us feels really bad because we keep hammering the same point home every time we talk about him: there’s simply nothing...

“I know you’re lonely, but you’re not alone.” YAY! Glee is back! Oh sure, it’s been back for weeks now, but we found the previous two episodes to be pretty disappointing, so with this week’s return to form, we’re just going to pretend the show went on...

As Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce does a slow-motion implosion right in front of everyone’s eyes, the differences between what’s real and what the world sees took center stage. It’s about the lies everyone seems to be telling in order to get what they want. Blowing smoke....

Check your teeth for lipstick and put on your metallic dressing gowns, ladies. It’s time once again. When will the American male get over his thighphobia and return to the days of yore when men bared their thighs proudly? Not much to analyze here, just a snapshot of the Scooby...

“Is God an evil dwarf?”  Well, we’ve resigned ourselves to the idea that the Gleeks are going to hate us because we’ll be giving two negative reviews in a row. Granted, this wasn’t as weirdly bad as last week’s Britney episode, but we were pretty...

The walls of SCDP are crumbling down around its principal players and they’re all too busy and stressed to learn the lessons that are staring them right in the face. You can’t have a happy life if all you have is work. Trudy’s having the long-awaited Campbell baby and Pete...

Swinging Sixties, Baby! We weren’t sure we were going to include the screencaps from this scene until we noticed the sewing machine. We just know something like that is going to prompt a dozen “My mom had that!” responses. Notice how Betty and Sally are wearing pretty much...

Well. Glee is back.And that isn’t an excited “Glee is BACK!” It’s a disappointed “Everything that used to be wrong about the show is still wrong about the show.” We’d have to rewatch season 1 to be sure, but at the end of last night’s episode,...

It seems almost silly to point out that this episode dealt heavily with secrets and how they can weigh a person down. After all, the entire series of Mad Men is largely about secrets and how they can weigh you down. It’s as if this episode is meant to be considered something of a...

Slap on those brooches and let’s get to reading, ladies. Betty working her icy blues again. It’s an interesting dichotomy, the floral themes rendered in icy colors. If we had to pick two surface qualities of Betty that define her, we’d say it’s femininity and coldness....

  He didn’t always produce work that we responded well to, but Michael Drummond did always manage to catch our attention with some interesting ideas and innovative use of techniques. We don’t love (or even like) every piece of this collection but we love the feel of it...

“I didn’t send her to an active crack house.” Our one fear with the return of Glee was that it was going to become a victim of its own hype. There’s nothing worse than a hit show that acts like it’s a hit show. They become way too self-referential (not to mention...

It’s a testament to the complex and subtle writing on Mad Men that they can do a show about the secret sisterhood of women and explore the ways in which women navigate or are pushed through the world, and they can present this heavy-handed topic so deftly that until that final shot, we...

  Now that we’ve caught up a little bit on fashion week, it’s time to look at the Project Runway finale show collections that have since been revealed to be decoys. We’ll do Casanova today, Michael D tomorrow (probably) and then each designer as they get elminated...

It’s all about the ladies this time. It’s comforting to know that Betty can still step it up when she needs to. You don’t lose those trophy wife skills overnight. This is a pretty stylish, pretty fabulous, dinner in the city kind of look. And yet it still has a maturity to...
