    My favorite part was when Olivia was all, "I LOOVE hip-hop," and the Cobra Starship dude was like, "Oh yeah, do you like Tribe?" and she went, "Whaa?"

    Fucking poser bitch.

    I loved every single thing about Erin during that dinner scene.

    I don't know what she was doing, exactly, with all of her weird swaying and looking under the table and her terrible posture, but she used every single one of my favorite Erin Kaplan faces, all the while looking like she was going to leap across the table and throttle Joe Zee.

    Long live Erin Kaplan.

    HuffPo will never work until it stops censoring comments so much; the sameness makes it as boring as the comments on, oh, CuteOverload, for example. It's become more about boobs and provocative titles and giving hacks of every kind a chance to "post" their inane comments or flog their latest book/product/agenda. #huffingtonpost

    @Nigerian Business Executive: OMG, I went after him, Jamie Lee Curtis, Maria Shriver, and the feel-good fake doctors of everything promoting their books and tapes. I didn't get banned, they just refused to approve the comments, so it became a challenge to me to find the key flag words. Apparent "fatuous pinheaded fame whore hack" is a no-no, but that's just my working hypothesis. #huffingtonpost

    @Maryscary: OMG yes. But it's a cult, wherein you are only allowed to say "OMG!" and "Oh, my head will asplode from teh qute!" and they exchange sunshine tofu recipes and give each other imaginary cookies-- and if you say anything that strikes anyone negatively you are a terrible, terrible person. It's notorious for requiring that the rear end be kissed of the Megan and her henchman, Theo. I know this because of painful experience with a cousin. They also had a huge argument over whether people's faces should ever be included. #huffingtonpost

    I have a friend since high school whose late mother was a best-selling writer and whose father was his wife's business manager. Years ago, while still a whelp, I placed an article in a highly local newspaper, an article I wasn't paid for but that gave me experience and a small platform. When I proudly told my friend's parents about this, her father gravely said, "You're a writer when you get paid for it." #huffingtonpost

    @TheBusinessGuy: when you get paid for it. Interesting hypothesis.

    The other one that I've heard is that you cannot tell during your own life whether you are a writer or a copywriter. Only your thombstone will tell the truth on that question. #huffingtonpost

    I've been waiting for years for someone to make use of that shower in Big Chill analogy. It served its purpose well here, I'd say. Those Fackelmayers were up to no good at Lilypond and they should pay. Good thing Roxy gave them a talking to in between shooting scenes on Brothers & Sisters. #thecity

    Olivia's interviews were painful to watch.
    *cue fake smile, followed by "cool/neat/that's great/um, ok"
    Both of the bloggers looked uncomfortable, and BOTH of them went "oh, that's it?" when she was done, bahahaha.

    Erin, however catty and plotting she may be, is awesome at her job. I loved seeing her swoop in and save the day with better questions.

    Joe Zee, you are a FOOL. #thecity

    @chickachicka: Erin's a cool chick(a). But they're really really overdoing it with her giving Olivia the displeased side eye twenty times an episode.

    The show doesn't trust the viewers (intended demo age: 15) to get it.

    It was actually nice for a change last week to see Erin smile and have a meaningful conversation with Kelly Cutrone. #thecity

    @Baroness: I agree 100%. I feel stupid watching this show (for multiple reasons), but mostly because they bash us over the head with one-dimensional characterization. Seeing Erin interact with anyone other than Olivia just solidifies my love for her. #thecity
