Coldwater Creek was my FAVORITE catalogue to look through as a kid. Except maybe American Girl Dolls. We didn't get many clothing catalogues...like, I remember this, L.L. Bean, and Land's End. And this one was the best because not only would I look at the pictures of the flowing dresses and the perfectly lit…

Obviously the catalog to rule them all was J. Peterman. RIP, J. Peterman. I got some awesome Titanic memorabilia from you when I was 14.

Does anyone else remember when Banana Republic was like the J.Peterman catalogue? Full of safari ready clothes and hand drawn pictures, as of people were in the clothes but no bodies? I had some total "Out of Africa" stuff from them. That's when the name made sense.

The Vermont Country store is AWESOME. I have one of their muumuus and wear it proudly on hot summer days. My husband was taken aback to find that they sell vibrators. Yep. Vibrators, muumuus, old-timey candy: if you are a woman of a certain age (or aspire to someday become a woman of a certain age), they have…

J. Peterman Co.! I loved the catalogs so much and spent many happy latchkey kid afternoons imagining myself on an Edwardian hunting outing or a Nile steamer cruise. Then a bricks-and-mortar store opened in my area and it was so damn disappointing. A $250 linen shirt seems like a great idea on the catalog page, but…

Oh my god, yes! Me too. I was so jealous of Elaine on Seinfeld because she worked there. And good for your mom—I saved up for months to buy some pseudo-flamenco ("Malaga at dusk.....") getup and it was shockingly low quality. Even as a teenager, I was pretty offended by the size of the gap between price (and…

OMG, Signals!! That just screams "Midwest" to me.

I was a goth kid and LOVED Pyramid Collection. And Victorian Trading Post.

Great trailer...I've always liked Juliette a lot, but I became an even bigger fan when I read an interview recently in which she said she asked Olivier Assayas to write a film with strong female characters. Anyway, he did and she agreed to star in the film and apparently they expect it to be at Cannes this year.

They could have just scrolled the cast list across the scene and I would be in line the tickets - Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Maria Doyle Kennedy, AND Juliette Binoche!

It's BBCA not BBC and originally aired on Canandian tv but I don't think it matters since Dowtown Abbey has been nominated before.

This show is impossibly good. With a different director and cast, it would have been cartoonish and ridiculous. I was so lucky to see Tatiana at the Toronto ComiCon and get her autograph and I swear, she's one of the most down to earth actors I've met.

It's such an amazing time for women in television right now! I…

I am so very excited for this. I brilliantly got rid of cable, so I'll have to buy the season from Amazon (assuming they will have it!). But this show is legitimately one of my favorites right now.

Sarah is usually the one getting herself into her own deep pile of shit, and sometimes that makes it hard to feel for her, especially when things seem to always magically just work out to her benefit.
I have to love Sarah at least a little, though, because without Sarah, there would be no Felix.

It's a shame Tatiana Maslany wasn't nominated for an Emmy. Just binge watched the series in the last two days and was blown away by her. Especially when she was playing one character pretending to be another.

So today I learned that in addition to Tiger Lily and her father "Great Big Little Panther," JM Barrie's "Peter Pan" had a "Picaninny Tribe."

After spending 2 hours in a Kindergarten class today, I can unequivocally tell you: This is not cute. Nope. Not even little.

Cute, until you wonder where he picked it up.

In my world, we call that a trim.

He's going to be in a Victorian monster sex TV show, and I'm so excited about it.
