[DESIGN STAR RECAP] Episode 1: The White Box Challenge

"Twelve of the MOST ACCOMPLISHED designers in the country are on their way to HGTV."

DUDEZ...if that shit is true, then also I am a supermodel, I ride my pet unicorn through the streets of Brooklyn, and Taco Bell is now good for you. Cause today must be opposite day.

Well, the premiere of Design Star happened last night, and I for one will never be looking at a fucking goose feather the same way again. I'll say this: the cast this year is hotter than its ever been before. EVERYONE is good looking...even the old dude. As for these mofos being the most talented and/or accomplished, Al Gore needs to start recounting that shit pronto.

[Design on TV #2] Weeds

Design on TV is recurring column that allows TV fanatics to step into the world of their favorite TV shows by offering up a list of real-life items that will allow you to trick out your place in that show's signature fashion.  Some people call it an "homage." Some people call it "sick."  We call it "entertaining."

Design on TV #2: Weeds 

There are about a million cheesy things I could say about Weeds that would tie into the drug theme.  It's highly addicting, right?! LOL.  Give me a break.  It IS addicting, though—the show's creator, Jenji Cohen (am I the only person who reads that as "Jumanji" in my head?) originally introduced us to Nancy Botwin (Mary Louise Parker), a recent widow living in white suburbia.

Flowers Uncut

HOLY SHIT, I'm excited for this show: Flowers Uncut. In its second season, it's premeiring on TLC in November, and features "Rock-n-Roll Florist" Jeff Leatham. Apparently this dude used to be a male model and now he's some hotshot event designer.

Without having seen the first season yet, this has the makings of my FAVE REALITY TV SHOW EVER. I've mentioned before that I actually wanted to be a floral designer way back in the day (before I realized I was too lazy), and since I'm already obsessed with reality TV, this combo will surely rule my face. At least I hope.

[9 BY DESIGN RECAP] Episode 7: Down At The Jersey Shore

Ok, I keep forgetting to check the credits of the show: is Dave Barry an exec producer or something? Cause quite frankly, I'm getting a little sick of the dude. I mean, have the Novos EVER worked with anyone else?

So yeaaaah: DB was front and center again last night, when he dropped a boutique hotel right in Bob-n-Cort's lap.

Yippeeee! A hotel!

Ok, that was pretty rad, and I was super excited for them, even if the hotel *was* in NJ...everyone has gotta start somewhere.

[9 BY DESIGN RECAP] Episode 6: London Calling

A. Obvs I'm IMMEDIATELY buying a copy of Downtown Chic (shit is sold OUT on Amazon, ppl).

B. I started to get a leetle bit bored with this 9by stuff last night.

Sad face.

Look, I still love the crap out of the Novos, but its just that everything that "goes wrong" on this show, seems like it was hatched up in some writers room and executed by some PA (probably the one who keeps taking those blurry ass fucking pictures for the bravo.com site).

[DESIGN CRUSH] Ellen Matthews, SNL Photog

l've always loved the photographs shown during the commercial breaks during SNL...like sometimes more than the actual show. And thanks to I Heart You, a chick who is way the fuck less lazier than I am, I now know these photographs are taken by Mary Ellen Matthews.

[9 BY DESIGN RECAP] Episode 5: With Benefits

Ok, this shit is getting a little eerie: we're five weeks into 9 By Design, and there is literally not ONE FRIGGIN THING I can find wrong with this family.

I mean, have you people SEEN my other blog? All I do is make fun of bitchez. Our tagline is "embrace the hate," so yeah: I'm REALLY good at embracing it. And yet, here's what I did tonight during a good portion of this latest ep of 9 By Design...

[9 BY DESIGN RECAP] Episode 4: Weekend In The Hamptons

Phrase of the week? "Let's blow this out."

Get your minds out of the fucking gutter ppl...this isn't what Robert said during their nanny interviews (zing!)

This week the Novos are re-doing a guest house out on Long Island and trying to find some full-time help for their kids (who, after 3 weeks, I somehow still don't hate! Yay!).

So yeah, this "guest house" out on Long Island is owned by someone who, unlike Dave Barry, doesn't want their face plastered all over my flatscreen. They're keeping shit anon...so anon, in fact that Cortney told one of her staffers that they'd never be meeting "him." Borrrrring.
