The suicide discussion thing was pretty terrible. But I was almost even more turned off in the first scene of the actual episode, where Kyle just happens to be going to Reiss with an overly helpful, too-well-dressed shopgirl welcoming her to REISS, DID YOU HEAR THAT STORE NAME, REISS, and OH, look at how CUTE this dress is? And then Taylor SO COINCIDENTALLY running into Cedric just moments before she walks into REISS - BY THE WAY, THAT'S REISS, OF CATHERINE DUCHESS OF MIDDLETON FAME - which just gives her an excuse to set up the drama with Lisa later in the episode. I know most of these scenes are staged and storylines are disucssed ahead of time, but it was too transparent even for RH standards. It's as if Reiss paid for a product placement, and RH producers needed something to set up that trainwreck of a dinner scene (and not in the good, crazy medium trainwreck way), so they said "OH. Let's have them go shopping at Reiss, collect our winnings, and get a good narrative arc going." Idiots.
"As much as I love Marc Jacobs the person, I've never been bowled over by Marc Jacobs the designer, and his American style might not be the best fit for the Parisian luxury brand."
Hmm. Not quite sure I agree with the statement. By and large, editorial/consumer reaction to his designs for LV don't knock him for being too American. I think at the worst it can sometimes seem like his LV collections (he does the RTW as well, not just bags) are the French variation on the eponymous line he presents in NYC earlier in the season. Dior is different than LV, for sure. It has more of a heritage in couture and ready-to-wear apparel than LV does, therefore more house signatures to work with/around. But to say he's too American when he's already designing for a very French brand isn't the right criticism.
Not so fast! WSJ @ 6:24 p.m. EST: House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) appears to be balking at the debt ceiling deal that Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has signed. Mr. Boehner is concerned about provisions in the deal that could lead to sharp cuts in military spending, say people familiar with the situation. House aides have warned that just because Mr. Reid has signed off on the deal doesn’t mean the deal is done.
The problem is that she financially benefits from airing her dirty laundry, genuine or not. This is being aired on a cable TV special for which she was likely paid a hefty sum. Not everyone has that luxury.
It is really the definition of #firstworldproblems. The trans girl who got beat up in McD's? Now THOSE are problems. Not a woman who chooses to milk the spotlight and earns millions in return. No sympathy.
"It's not about me it's not about me it's not about me LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME it's not about me it's not about me LOOK AT ME I WANT TO BE YOUR QUEEEEN it's not about me."
As a former resident of Provo, I wish I could say this is surprising. It's not. If you're a minority of any kind there (racial, sexual orientation, non-Mormon, etc.), you're not going to get preferential treatment in the "repentance" process.
J.Crew posted the feature on their FB page a week or so ago... some of the first few comments I read (before I clicked away to avoid throwing my laptop across the room) were equally as ignorant.
Newt would be very offended that you left Callista off of the smoking-hot wife-off list. She is... stunning! Or just looks stunned, all the time, forever.
Hopefully they'll release emails in which Titcomb (that last name brings stunning images to mind) asks for a girl that bears a passing resemblance to Bill Ayers.
